Those parties whe have promised
US wood, will confer a favor by i'm
proving the present snow in keeping
their promises. A little snow will
help man substantiate a big TRUTH some
times.

a girl from Adams County said to her
teller when she looked into Schultz
candy case. last week. Well, Schultz
has the finest confectionery that ever

Some OF our voters who staid away
from the polls last week Tuesday and

as George Hiles has been wont to call
the action brought against him by Mr..
Charles Krugar Of Dextcrville, for
dashing a dipper of water into Kru-
gar's face at the polls something like a
year ago, has just been determined by
the Portage Go. Circuit Court, at
Stevens Point a verdict having been
awarded the plaintiff for damages to
the tune Of Eight Hundred Dollars,
and costs which will increase the
amount to about $1,000. George mis-
took himself for priest and so baY-
s5sed krugar, or he mistook Krugar

exultant, not particularly because a.
decision has been made adverse to the
county, bnt because Senator Scott has

wilderness, and the decision having
been rendered, they tutor themselves
to believe that the desired object to be i
attained has been failure. We beg
to intrude upon the happiness of such
whose rejoicing is great by informing
them that we have been informed BY
Mr. Scott that the nrospnct for CON,
