Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1920-05-13

For this number of The Tribune | will
try to gather up the broken threads of
memory as pertains to some of the
business men and their business in those
days of long ago in Dear Old Mineral
Point.
One of the fartherest back in my rec
objection was the firm of Priestley &
Humbert, who conducted what believe
to have been the first harness shop and
store in the town, although Cornelius
James had shop on Commerce street.
The Priestiey & Humbert store was on
High st nearly opposite the u. S, Hotel.
Mr.. Humbert preceded the much loved
and deservedly honored James Spensley
as superintendent of the M. +. Sunday
school in the old church About 1858
or 1859 Mr.. H., for some unhappy cir
cumstance, dropped out of the school,
the business and the town Mr.. George
Priestley, with his sons Tom and Charlie.
continued the business at the old stand
until the middle sixties, when my faith
er and Uncle Dick constructed new
building for them directly opposite said
hotel. think this was the last build
ing my revered father constructed in
Mineral Point The three Priestieys
mentioned have all passed over to the
great beyond Mr.. Charles Priestley |
knew well during his last days in the
beautiful city of Pomona. California,
where he passed away about seven
years ago after being an invaded for
many years.
Another of the old-time firms was
Kline & Spratler, whose first place of
business was half a block down the
street from the u. s. Hotel. Later
they moved into the new building across
the way erected and owned by my
Uncle Dick. These two gentlemen
were among the most respected of the
many splendid business men of that
day. They were grocers and bakers, and
kept besides what was to al the little
boys and girls of the town a rare sup
ply of candies, nuts and toys. think
my old chum, Gilmore Hutceison, mar
ried one of the peerless Kline girls.
There was only one Mineral Point
business man that, from personal ex-
perisnce. / can justly criticize, That
was MIR. Beach who kept a grocery
store next to the Priestey & Humbert
harness shop. One day had per-
formed some small errand for my dear
mother at this store and. on leaving
the store and fully half block away
from it, / picked up little wad of
paper containing small gold coin.
was too young to determine its value,
but thought it was five dollars. ! ran
back to the store and asked Mr. Beach.
yes, he said, THAT Is five dollars !;
where did you get it?" / told him,
whereopon he dropped it into his till,
remarking. "Well, that is mine" and
not giving me thank you" or stick
of candy, | have laid that up against
that man for over sixty years. Moral !:
Beware Of how you treat children.
Even if the coin were his. which | have
always doubted, he had better have
permitted me TO keep it than to have
had me so remember him.
The Beach family had very beauti-
ful home and grounds (for those days.

Negro Man and Woman Killed Fri
day Afternoon.

Eastover, June 3.-Sallie Nixon,
negress, and a negro named Morris,
were killed about three miles from
Eastover this afternoon. Sam Nixon
husband of Sallie Nixon, is in the
Richland county jail, Columbia,
where he is held for the crime The
double tragedy occurred between 2
o'clock and 3 o'clock this afternoon,
with no eye-witnesses. Some people
working in a nearby field reached the
scene, it is said, a few minutes after
the trouble. Nixon came to Easover
and gave himself up to the authori-
ties.
Morris was shot and the Nixon wo-
man was hit with some heavy instru-
ment.
Coroner Scott, of Richland county,
will come to Eastover tomorrow
morning and an inquest will be held.

SPEND ENORMOUS AMOUNT.
Overman Shows That Party Now in
Has Exceeded Previous Congress.

Washington, June 4.-Senator
Overman, Democrat, North Carolina,
precipitated a political discussion in
the senate today when he presented
statistics to support a charge that
the Republicans had appropriated
in ordinary supply bills more than
twice the amount expended by the
Democratic congress of 1916. Sena-
tor Smoot promptly defended the
charges, asserting that the war was
responsible for much of the increase.
Senator Overman said 13 supply
bills passed in 1916 totaled $685.
100000, as against S2,19S,000,000
appropriated by the present con-
gress. He insisted that he had not
included war items in his summary.
Senator Thomas, Colorado, stopped
the debate when he remarked that

Population Drift Toward the Cities.

: Where are all the people coming
from?"is a question frequently heard
in our cities. Almost every town in
the country, from the largest to the
smallest, is experiencing an acute
shortage of houses. In places where
three or four years ago large per-
centage of the houses were vacant, a
place to live can now hardly be had
for love or money Preliminary CEN
sus figures are showing heavy gains
in poulation for many of our cities
during the past ten years. Figures
for the rural districts have not yet
been given out, but we would not be
surprised to see decreases in many
farming sections.
These facts to us indicate one thing
in particular, and that is that the
farming business must be made more
attractive if people are to remain on
the farms and production maintain
ed or increased. The farmer goes
to town mainly because wages in
town are better than he can make
farming, and so long as this is true
we may expect the drift from country
to city to continue, with decreased
farm production following in conse-
quence
Prices of farm products are high,
of course, when compared with pre-
war prices; but when compared with
other commodity prices they are not
high. Railing at the farmer as a
profteer will get the city customer
nowhere. In fact, any effort that
unduly lowers the prices farmers re-
ceive for their products is bound in
the end to put prices higher than ever;
because if the business Of farming is
made improbable enough farmers
will quit it to so reduce production
that the demand will automatically
force prices up.
The country and the world need
more food and clothing, but to get
them a fair price to the farmer-a
price that will insure him a wage in
line with what urban workers re-
ceive-will be necessary.-Progres
sive Farmer

WOULD REPEAL
WAR LEGISLATION
HOVSE ADOPTS RESOLUTION BI
DECIDED VOTE.
THREE IN OPPOSITION.
Lever Food Control Act and Trading
With Enemy Law
Retained.

Washington, June 5.-Au war
laws, except the Lever food control
act, and the trading with the enemy
act, would be repealed by resolu-
ton adopted today by the house, 323
to 3. The only negative votes were
cast by Representatives Garrett and
Sims of Tennessee and yelling of
Utah, all Democrats.
approximately so laws, most of
them comforting broad discretionary
authority on the president, as Ions
as the technical state of war contin-
ues. would be removed from the stat
ute books by the resolution.
With the house action, the repeal
resolution was sent to the senate,
where action on it is expected before
the adjournment of congress Satur-
day. House Democrats predicted that
President Wilson would approve the
measure, Representative Connally OF
Texas asserting that the president
was the first to suggest the nullifica-
tion of the war acts. The Texas
member added that the Democrats
were only to override the veto if nee
essary.
The retention of the Lever act was
explained by Representative Walsh,
Republican, in charge of the repeal
act, as necessary to give the govern
ment an effective law for curbing
profteering in necessities, including
food and fuel. He added that the
trading with the enemy act should be
continued to regulate trade with Ger
many
Representative Igoe, Democrat,
Missouri, however, questioned the
Republican decisions to continue the
Lever act, asserting that certain in
terests'' desired to keep the law IN
effect because it had proved 'effcc-
tive anti-strike legislation" He vainly
sought to have the act included among
those repealed, but was defeated
through parliamentary tactics.
The senate judiciary committee to-
night took up consideration of the
repeal resolution, but adjourned until
tomorrow without final action being
taken. Several members of the COM
mittee at the meeting tonight, it was
understood, were inclined to oppose
such legislation at this time, but Sen
ator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, who
recently introduced two similar meas
ures in the senate with Senators
Brandegee and Sterling, Republicans,
were said to have indicated their ap-
proval of the resolution.
Representatives Flood, Connally
and Gard, all Democrats, complained
of the limited scope of the repeal and
asserted that the first move toward
the repeal was made by the Demo-
Gratis.
