Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1876-04-20

Bill Price as chairman The Falls is
a good place to live at, tie to, and die
in.
Our esteemed townswoman, Mrs.
Zenier, is very sick, threatened with
inflammation of the bowels. Dr.. Greg
CORY, of Plover was down to visit her
in consultation with DR.. G.. Z. Witter,
last Friday.
The first piece of lumber over the
rapids this season came over Monday
morning as slick as though it were
creased. Mr.. McAvoy was pilot, and
Mr.. Brown tailsman.
Bill Price has put 20, 100000 feet
of logs into Black River and its tribu-
taries the past winter, and he's cussed
the bark off every one Of 'em. Bill is
a good witness he understands the
nature of an oath.
At wedding recently, when the
clergyman asked the lady, ''Wilt thou
have this man to be thy welded hus-
band % she, with a modesty which
lent her beauty an additional grace, re-.
piled, IF you please"
The Clark Co. Republican has
ceased to exist. The future paper
viii be the Republican Press, owned
and edited by Mr.. Hoffman. The
Republican has been a good paper, and
there is no reason to doubt that it will
continue so to be under the new ad-
ministration. 1t does paper good, as
it does man to be born again.
The Governor has re-appointed
Capt N, B. Van Slyke, member of
the Board of Regents of the State I'm
iversity, for three years from last Feb
ruary. This is good appointment, as
Capt. Van Slyke, who is President of
the First National Bank here has had
much experience as a member sof the
Board and has taken deep interest
in the welfare of the University. His
services in the management Of its
business affairs have been very valu-
able.
After May 10th our people who
may attend the Centennial will find
the Reporter upon the tables of the
WISCONSIN Home" The "Wiscon-
sin Headquarters will be building
erected upon the grounds for the ac-
commodation Of the people from this
state. The State Journal says in
speaking of the ''Home -
This house will be free to all people
from Wisconsin. When there is a de-
sire to rest, here will be the place.
where our people can feel all the free
dom of home It will belong to the
whole people of the State. A regis
ter book will be kept in it, where ev-
cry caller will be requested to record
his or her name, residence and stop
ping place in Philadelphia This will
enable friends to find each other. We
feel quite sure that our people will find
much comfort in this WISCONSIN
Headquarters"
We saw our old Long Island
friend Caleb Swayze, editor Of the
Ptnery, when last at the Point. Caleb
is to the Point what a little soda in
pancake batter-it don't hurt it any.
Swayze was cut out for a lightning rod
agent, but somehow he drifted into the
editorial chair, and the brilliancy Of
his gold pen is not diminished in the
least. Like a good many swords in
the rebellion that never were furnished
with blood, so IS Caleb's pen, it has
never seen ink. It is as bright as ever
and brighter a heap than Caleb but
Caleb can make money, SO can anybody
who won't spend cent. Caleb is a
good boy, and when he dies VIC hope
he'll go to heaven, but we hope he
won't run paper there.
ALL honor to Susan B. Anthony.
This noble woman has paid off an in
debtedness Of $4,000 incurred in
publishing The Revolution which prov
ed failure, earning the money for the
accomplishment Of this object through
her labors with tongue and pen. She
has asked no compromise, but like a
true woman has battled bravely and
successfully with adversely, laboriDg
