Correspondence OF the HERALD
Paris Paragraphs.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Among the items of
interest relating to the town OF Par
is, Grant County, the following may
be worthy of publication my our col
umns:
A few nights ago German nam
ed Cooley, living on Platte, lost two
horses in way that ought to be a
good warning to careless hostlers.
The animals became entangled IN the
ropes wherewith they were tied 10
their stalls, sustaining Injuries there,
by that deprived their owner of a
trusty team.
The road leading from Platte river
to the Platte, changed by action Of
the Town Board of Platteville, seems
the subject of some contention. Law
must inevitably decide the issue.
School District No 6 is under OBJ
legations to "a couple Of prolific tamI-
lies for just two-thirds of it's aggre-
gate enrolment Of pupils.
Qnite an interesting sing at the
Wilson School house every week
The Union Church at Dickeyvillo
built last summers the only
special house Of worship ia this
whole town
Fodder is fast diminishing to o.
\ new church Is building near the
Wilson school house.
There will DO much maple sugar
made in these parts this Spring
Two hundred trees will be- tapped by
one man. &.

The WILLIAMS DIGGINGs This
is tiect about which All the local
papers in the adjacent parts OF three
states-Iowa, Illinois aud Wisconsin
seem to have something new to tell
in each successive issue. The mines
are getting better every day, and
like unto mountains il size are the
piles of lead which the boys have
taken out within tho month just
closed. The owners value their
prospect at the paltry sum Of 60, 600;
tho We do greatly fear that, so long
~ the present indications are what
they are, the boys would not dispose
Of it at even more than that amount.
\ horse pump of limited capacity is
kept in motion on the works, taking
the water out of the bottom OF the
opening whore the richest mineral is
found. Tho drifts yield as we'll il
not better than ever, ard even the
oldest miners are charY in their
prophecies regarding the extent of
the rich veins Of ore on either side o.
he original shaft. Taking all in all
the Williams DiggingS are certainly
among the richest that have ever
been worked in the lead mines of all
this region. They are owned by
good and deserving men, men who
will undoubtedly make the most Of
this particular turn of Fortune
Wheel and enhance in many ways the
public interests Of The community
wherein they reside.

SCHOOL EXHIBITION AT BEErowN:
Last Wednesday evening the peo~
Pile Of Baetown and country surround
ing enjoyed something rich and rare
in the way Of school exhibition.
The entertainment was projected and
brought to q successful presentation
by the pupils attending the school in
the Upper District of the Vi lage, and
was held in the church building where
fair multitude of delighted people
came together. Mr. Morse assisted
by Miss Alice EverharL took leading
parts, acquitting themselves most
creditably in all, and showing that
they are no novices in the manage
ment of such affairs. The exercises
consisted mainly 'of music, tableaux,
charadeJ, Coloquics and speeches -
For the ine vocal and instrumental
music, which added so much to the
success of the exhibition, Miss Hall
and Miss Smith deserve great credit
aud unqualified praise. The proceeds
of the entertainment were ample, and
viii be iudiciously expended in pur-
chasing maps, charts and other indis-
pensables for the school room. This
effort having been crowned with such
lattering success, it is to be hoped
that Other entertainments of the same
character will be given by these par
ties from time TO time hereafter.

more than fulfilled all the promises
in their advertisements in the first

Farewell Sermon Of the Rev. Mr..
Breeze.

Mr.. EDITOR: Last evening will
long be remembered by the inhabit.
ants of Rockville. The Rev J T.
Breeze, who has been our pastor for
the last wear, preached his farewell
sermon from the words OF Cor 1914
-"Finaly, brethren, farewel The
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
the love of God and the communion
Of the Holy Ghost be with you all,
amen" Although the roads were
bad and the travelling inconvenient,
the house was full; aud the eongre-
cation felt il to DO one Of the most
solemn periods Of their history, and
tears suffuscd many eyes as the elo.
quent lips Of the gifted preacher I'M
folded the mysteries Of redemption
for the last time among US. There
never has been a minister more uni.
versally beloved than Mr.. Breeze.
His talents education and genial ma
ture won for him the respect and ad-
miration Of all; and the community
parts with him with profound regret
and hopes that his amiablo family
and himself will be shortly settled in
q place worthy Of their abilities.
