A Change I'm the Repsrter.,

With our next issue, we shall yesume
the old folio form of the Reporter.
Over ieur years ago We enlarged the
Reporter to a seven column quartz.
subsequently we were obliged to en-.
small it TO six columns, and new the
exigencies of the times demand
that we go back to the old order Of
things. We do this, not from choice
but from necessity. In community
where we should receive large adver
Using support, we have only medium
support of about seven columns.
Our mercantile interests ought to be
ashamed of a condition of things
which necessitates the ensmalling of {
p1blic journal. A paper ought tt
grow rather than shrink. We see nj
alternative. so shall issue a seYen-col
Gnn folio next week.

Auburndale.--We had occasion
to visit Auburndale on the Wis. Cen.
Rail Road the first of the month, a
point that is attracting no little atten-
ton because of its excellent farming
land. general enterprise and intelligent
society. Auburndale is located in
Township %, Range 4 on the north
ern line of Wood County. Three yrs.
ago, that section of Wood County was
almost an inaccessible wilderness, but
with the advent of the Wisconsin Cen
trail Railroad the old forests began to
disappear and give place to thriving
hamlets, and grassy meadows. The
soil at and about Auburndale is a rich
black clay loan, naturally yielding
very large hay crops and adapted to
small grains, particularly corn. AL
though the first settlement was made
less than four years ago, there an up
wards of 500 acres of cleared land in
the township. 200 of which is COM
pact near the site of the village.
VIM. St. Thomas was the first man who
settled son the line He has good
"opening" and in few years will have
as fine farm as can be found in the
state. Auburndale is growing little
village denoting thrift and enterprise.
Her people embrace many nationali-
ties, Germans and Americans predomi-
mating Already three mills have been
constructed, two Of which are in oper-
alton. Harkins and Co. manufacture
lumber and shingles. The capacity of
the mill of this firm is $4,000 shin
giles and 10000 feet of lumber per
day. Hewitts' or the Menasha Wood
en- Ware Co. manufactures barrel, tab
and pail slaves, averaging thirty cords
of slaves per day. f. w. Kingsbur-
ry & Bro. have shingle mill the Ca
pacity of which is $4,000 in TWEEN
ty-four hours AS mark CT civiliza-
ton the town has good school, and a
church will soon be erected Auburn
is strongly Republican and is tenn
perance town to the back bone
Whether the town is republican be-
cause of its temperance proclivities, or
temperance because of republicanism
we leave our readers to conjecture
The two go hand in hand, consequent
ly we look for thriving, lastly grow
ing settlement where these two virtues
will predominant, spreading healthful
influence throughout that portion of
our country which is rich in agricuI.
tural resources. Mr.. John Conner is
the merchant of the town. He has a
fine store and is doing an excellent
business.
1t is due to Auburndale and to the
county that road be constructed to
some point contiguous to highways
leading to our city and Centralla
The interests of the northern section
of our county demand that such a
road be built. To isolate the several
towns settling up in the northern and
western portions of the county from
the county seat is an injustice to them
and certainly destructive to the coun-
ty, and particularly to the CONNER
cial interests of the cities of Grand
Rapids and Centralia. We hope our
County Board will move in the matter
at once, and thus invite rather than
drive from us bona tida settlers whose
presence will enrich our county.

Bourbon VS. Brine.-Electior

Bourbon VS. GENERALIZATION
jokes are in order. It is told on good
authority that a certain candidate for
a county office sent two jugs into the
country, one filed with Bourbon for
the eayranchised thinker, the other
filled with beef brine for spawned OK.
To make the bourbon effectual he put
it up in pint bottles, or supposed he
had done so, but when the enfran-
chised thinker turned that stuff in the
pint bottle, he said: siDo [ thirst or
am [ drinking. Am I an OK or am L
voter" and he concluded he was ga
OK" A little blunder sometimes max

The Campaign.

rs the campaign proceeds, two things
are conspicuous: one that the candidate
who Is urged rs the great rcformcr is en-.
tangled in endless explanations the other
that intelligent men everywhere are ask
ing for the evidence that the Democratic
party has shown itself To be esspntall,
changed. The issues stated in the plat
forms and discussed by the orators and
the press are three; the finances, The
South, and civil service reform But they
all spring from the war, and the Demo
crs,ts can succeed and MIR ridtp a., elect
cd only by the virtually "Soid '@uth "
Thus wc have precisely the sectional As.
pcct of an election that We had before the
war; and the Democratic proposition i
that the vital issues growing out Of the
contest shall be settled by the Southern
party. Democratic = reform means
simply-to use words which are we'll an
