The business proceeded satisfactorily
until Blum asked a customer to settle

to 100000 Kaufman, in the mean

Talk Mineral Point.

Editor T. J. Cunningham. in his
newspaper, the Chippewa Times, has
good words for his home city, Chip
pewa Falls. He is truly loyal to its
people and interests. His words of
wisdom apply to Mineral Point as
well as to Chippewa Falls. He says:
"When a man has faith in his
town and is not slow to mention its
good qualities wherever opportunity
offers he becomes an agent of prog
ress and greater possibilities. Why
not encourage all good people who
are seeking homes to come our way.
They may not all be able to build
mansions yet we should remember
that there are a host of good people
who live in cottages and their citizen
ship cannot be questioned. They stand
for progress and every measure that
builds and when it comes to question
of moral worth they are almost
always on the side of right.
"Let US not look for wealth alto
gether, rather look for men. Men
who have abilities and are abreast
with the best things for municipal as
we'll as personal life. Wealth is a
blessing that is hard to excel when
it rests in the hands of worthy peO-
pie, character is a blessing that sheds
glow and a benefaction over and
to all it meets.
