Death of Col. James Mckenzie

Died, at EIlenboro, Aug. 81, 1871,
of asthma, from which he had lon g
suffered, Col James Mckenzie, aged
~ yrs, 3 months, and II days.
Deceased was born in New Castle
Co, Delaware, April 5, 1893. He re-
sided in Philadelphia until the year
1913, when he was appointed lieu
tenant in the regular army of the
war of 1912. He participated in the
battle Of Baltimore, and won honors
for himself and bis command. After
the disbandonment of the armies, he
removed to Lexington, Ky. In go
he came to Wisconsin, settling soon
at Ellen boro, where he built flour
ing and saw mill, and carried on
for more than twenty years an ex-
tensive and successful business. He
held the rank of colonel in the State
Militia of Kentucky during the later
years of his residence there, and was
also complim ented with the same
honor in this State In his life he
was very active, resolute and posi-
tive man. A large family of sons and
daughters, as we'll as a host of friends,
mourn his departure. His remains
are this day consigned to their final
resting place in the beautiful ceme-
terry at Platteville.

The Lancaster Library Association

This organization having succeed
ed in obtaining fifty subscribers to
it's capital stock, may now be r.
garde d as one of the permanent in
situations of our village The sum
subscribed, with the discount allowed
by publishers on purchases to that
amount, will enable the Association
to place Oh its shelves $4,000 worth
of reading matter. An order to the
amount of $4,000 was sent to-day
to Messrs. s. G. Griggs & Co., of Chi
cago, they offering the best terms,
and in short time the books will be
here and ready for use.
Some delay was necessarily to be
expected in the work of selecting
such list as would be acceptable to
all. The Directors, in the selections
made, have not consulted their own
tastes but have aimed to place in
the hands of the Association, such
books as in their judgment would be
read with interest. Ignoring the
ponderous tones whose contents,
bhOuSh NoiuaulC W sNlCuCC anu lltcI =
ature, yet rarely contribute to the
entertainment of the social circle
dull fireside companions, and grave
yard associates in hours of relaxa-
tIon-they have sought to place be-
fore their readers books of the day
and age, instead Of the musty folios
of the old world.
1t is We believe, the intention Of
the Directors at an early day, or so
soon as the funds at their disposal
will admit of their doing SO, TO pro-
cure room and engage the services
of a competent librarian, so that Lam
caster among lis other advantages
may class a public reading room
There our young !men may find a
more profitable evening resort, than
some Of them find at present.
The citizens of Lancaster gener-
ally should aid this enterprise; if
not by subscription, by donations of
books, and in some way identity
themselves with the objects of the
Association.

The LANCASTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The fall term Of the Lancaster

Prof McGregor, who has been weigh
ed in the pedagogical balance, and
not found wanting, will discharge for
another year the arduous and re-
sponsible duties Of Principal. He
will be aided by well qualified and
efficient corps of assistants. The la
bors OF the Misses Jones during the

fitness for the places which they are
once more to fill. Miss Kate McGreg-
or, who will have charge of the FIRST
intermediate department, is MEM
Der of the last graduating class of
Platteville Normal School. She
comes here 20 her work with all the
requisite qualifications supported by
years of school room experience.
Miss Abbie White, one of Lancaster g
own ladies, and also q Normal grad
uate, is said by those who know her
best, to be very successful teacher.
She IS to have charge of the Second
Primary department. Miss Nellie
Mcdonald, will teach the little ones
composing the First Primary depart
ment, and that she will do that i'm
portant ofall mental and moral labor
thoroughly and well admits of not
the slightest doubt. Non-residents
may have the benefit of this school
by paying a small sum weekly as
