Mrs. J. H. Miner, and daughter have gone to Dell Rapids, Dakota. Read the laws as they are published from week to week in this paper. The work of plastering the new school house is to be begun this week. Everybody was out with smoked glass in hand looking at the eclipse Monday. J. A. Logan started for the west Wednesday to take possession of his Dakota farm. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Houghton, of this village, died last Wednesday. Fifteen thousand more speckled trout were put in the Richland county creeks last Saturday. A goodly number of farmers have already signified their intention of raising tobacco the coming season. The Democrats will put no candidate in the field for county judge and Dr. Downs will have a clear field. Very sensible. A young man named Endicott had the misfortune to have a finger cut off in Barnes’ plaining mill at Boaz, a few days since. Mr. Wm. A. Wagner, who painted in this place last summer, died of consumption at the home of his parents in Boscobel, Monday. Elder W. S. Kidd will occupy the pulpit of the Christian church on Sunday next, contrary to announcement made last Sunday. W. H. Moon, of Marshall, has removed to Woodstock, where he has gone into the mercantile business in company with A. W. Travers. G. W. Hare and wife, who have been spending the winter in Pennsylvania, have returned and resumed their residence in this village. Mrs. R. Sutton started Monday evening for a trip to Indiana for the benefit of his health, which has been quite poorly for some time. Fire at Rice Lake, Barron county, at an early hour Saturday morning, destroyed nine business houses, doing damage to the amount of $30,000. Now Hon. W. T. Price will rise and smite the air in his wrath. In his absence from Black River Falls the license ticket was carried by forty votes. Only one no-license alderman, H. Price, son of the congressman, was saved from the wreck. The Woman’s Club will give a mite sociable at odd Fellow’s hall on Friday evening of next week March 27, at 7:30. Rev. Denison will deliver a lecture at that time for the benefit of the Club. Admission ten cents. Everybody invited. It is estimated that there are 150,000 people on roller skates in New York city every night. When the new Richland Center is finished and opened to the public it is expected that the town will fairly go wild, and everybody will go roller-skating. The Monroe Sentinel says that the fifty new cheese factories that are starting and to be started and put in operation this season in that county will make over a hundred cheese factories in Green. There seems to be money in cheese. We learn just as we go to press that J. M. Craigo, of Eagle, had purchased the Park Hotel, of D. O. Chandler and W. D. S. Ross, and will take possession the first of May. The price paid was $7,000. Mr. Craigo is an experienced land lord. The debating society will meet next Saturday evening in the room upstairs in the court house. Mrs. Laura James has been invited to read a paper on equal suffrage, which together with the debate promises an interesting programme. All are invited. The weather took a sudden, and severe cold turn the first of the week, the mercury Tuesday moring dropped to 12 degrees below zero. This is the coldest weather this late in March on record here. The cold wave extended throughout the country generally. Somebody recently stole three bales of barbwire from John B. Jones, of this town. We should think that that was about the last thing for anybody to steal, but some people will steal anything they can get their hands on. It must prick their consciences awfully. |
