We hope they may find it convenient to return again jn the near future. The Appleton City Standard says in lieu of no saloons, three gallon houses haye been started. The city has lost a revenue ot $1,500 every six months, and the drinker, instead buying a glass, takes a gallon. It the temperance people of Appleton can make men sober by torcing them to buy whisky by the gallon instead ot by the drink, then they have done a good deed lor that city by shutting down the saloons.

Well, he runs a livery stable on Ohio street and misrepresents the south ward in the city council. Last week lie submitted to an interview by the Republican and said: "I would re sign if I thought J. Rainwater Davis could be elected but judging from the vote he got last April, am afraid if anybody ran against him he could not." Correct. Mr. Smith, we ac knowledge the corn, and are thor oughly satisfied, if we could not beat you we could not beat anybody. We know it is pretty rough on a fellow's popular.ty to get beat tor office by nobody, but then such is the case and we guess we will have to stand it.

We were not able to get any ot the particulars as the gentleman hearing the news left town immediately a,fter notifying Mr. J. P. Willis, his son in law. It is said that fifteen minutes before his death he was contracting ror a lot of oats, and while thus en gaged dropped dead. Mr. Whet stone was well known in this county and highly respected. In his younger days he was quitr a trader and dealt largelv in stock, at which business he amassed a large fortune, and be came one ot the largest-! nd owners in this countv. He also has large Unded interest in Illinois, and other places. He was a straightforward man, and honorable in all his deal ings, and had been permitted to live to a ripe old age.

The Times takes pleasure in wel coming to the business fraternity ot the city, the name of T- H. Sisson, and bespeak for him a liberal share of the public patronage. He has one of the largest stock of groceries and hardware in town, and has adopted the true principles ot doing business, that of selling his goods low down for spot cash. All buyers know that where a man pays no rent and sells his goods for cash that he can afford to sell much cheaper than those that sell on crtdit.
