NEIGHBORH NOTES
Rl0NminglOn.


"A few of our citizens attended
the party at Prairie du Chen came
back looking as if they had had a
pleasant time.
The school, which has not been
running during the holidays, COM
menced again Monday. A very large
attendance is reported, for the com
mencement of the term.
A petition, very largely signed,
has been forwarded for a daily mail
from this place to Prairie du CHEN.
This is what is mnch needed and the
people are quite sanguine that they
will get it
The old firm of Wheeler, Wilson 4
Co., keep on the seven tenor OF
their wav." and sell piles of dry
goods and groceries, and drugs and
medicines enough to keep their Gus
toners in health. The business man.
ayers are gentlemen that know how
to buy, evidently, or they could not
be able to sell so much.
Owing TO the Christmas trees, the
little folks omitted to hang up their
stockings till New Years, and St.
Nicholas was not unmindful OF them
then. Per Sc, Christmas trees are
very nice things, but it seems to us
that outside of a little show, the good
old fashion gladdened more hearts and
deeper than hanging up SO much dry
goods and notions for people to look
at.
We have been enjoying some old
fashioned Wisconsin winter for a
few days. The thermometer was
down to 81 Tuesday morning and
about the same for several days before.
Notwithstanding the cold weather.
the music of the ';merry sleigh" from
early morn till late at night tells us
that people enjoy the situation" and
are bound to make the best of it, es
pecially our young folks.

not been a single loss. The society,

BUSINESS CHANGE The banking
firm of Ryland & Holloway was dis
solved on January lst, Mr.. Ryland
purchasing the latter's interest therein.
The banking house of Ryland & Hol-
Ioway was established in 1882, since
which time we may say, without in
tent to flatter, that no similar firm in
the country has had in greater de-
gree the confidence of the business
public. We are pleased to know that
Mr. Holloway proposes to remain a
citizen of Lancaster, the growth
and business interests of which he
has for many years been closely iden-
tilted with. Mr.. Ryland will continue
the business OF banking and will re-
tain as assistant the gentlemanly and
efficient cashier, Mr.. Richard Meyer.

MARROW GAuGn.-We are pleased

MARROW GAUGE.-We are pleased
to notice that the citizens OF Lancas-
ter do not tire agitating the railroad
question. We think we may safely
state that full one half of the people
who opposed railroad tax year ago
will now favor any fair proposition by
which a railroad, broad or narrow
gauge, can be built TO Lancaster, let
it come from Dubuque or Platteville.
The farming community are near a
unit on the Importance of railroad to
Lancaster, and, we believe, the village
people are of the same mind, except,
of course, those few-a class OF nom
producers to be found in every town
who always oppose progress and the
general Improvement. The Heratdha
all along urged upon the people the
of railroad running
through the county, which would pro
vide nearer and cheaper markets for
the vast products of grain, stock and
ores that now have to be transported
overland fifteen to twenty-five miles
to reach a market place. And Lam
caster must take the initial step to
secure the advantages desired.
to our suggestion some
time since the citizens are generally
in favor of assembling soon to talk
over railroad matters, and if necessa-
~ set the stakes. Saturday afternoon,
January 10th at the Court House, has
zen proposed as proper time to
meet. Let there be full turnout
Of the citizens. We hope to see pres
ent at the meeting Mr.. d. r. w. viii
