The St. Paul railway have practic-
ally decided to give the travelling men
of GAINESVILLE a mixed train, leaving
GAINESVILLE about $50, running through
to Mineral Point. This train will also
get the Chicago mail and papers from
the Northwestern train arriving at
GAINESVILLE from Chicago at 6:15 a. m.
While this train will be a great accom-
mediation to the travelling men, it will
also give the cities along that line an
opportunity of getting their mail and
papers several hours earlier.
We were asked by "cute" fellow
if we had ever seen a bald-headed
woman. We replied that to the best of
our recollection we never did. Nor did
we ever see a woman loafng around a
street corner chewing, splitting on the
sidewalk, and lodging into a saloon
once in a while. We have never seen a
woman go staggering around with a
bottle sticking out of her pocket, nor
have we seen a woman yank off her
coat and say she could lick any man in
town. God bless her, she's not built
that way. Elk.
Mrs. L. G. Moon of this city leaped
into the limelight and prominence at
Beloit last week in a manner which is
often read about in the so-called
funny" pages of the magazines.
Mrs. Moon is visiting in Beloit and
wished to send letter back to the
home folks. She spied a green iron
box which she took to be the mail box.
She jauntily tripped up to the unoffend-
ing box and opened it. As she opened
it she turned in fire alarm and in less
time than it takes to tell she was the
center of an animated group of deter
mined fire fighters.
