HERSEY,
The ADVANCE failed last week to
get my communication in time. In
that mentioned the fact that the Bel
Ringers gave an entertainment here to
Il house OF about 100. After the con-
cert the boys cleared the hall and had u
dance.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Anscomh, of Graz
ham Lakes, last week, broke over nine
acres, with two yoke Of oxen, in two
days. This ground was measured.
The Eau Claire boys gave a free con-
cert here a few nights ago. Come a.
gain, boys.
F. Fish las pnt mp a house on his
place and is keeping bachelors hall.
F. Wilbarker is putting up 4 new
barn on his farm.
Mrs. Potts, mother to Mrs. Cole, is
quite i'll. 1t is thought she will not re-
cover.
G.. w. Payne, from Steam boat Rock,
Iowa, has arrived, and located among
US.
The grain crop Is looking very fine in this To-
cality. The farmers are looking forward to
very bountiful harvest
Doctor Hamilton. OF Wis.,, gave two medical
lectures here on Friday and Saturday evenings
Last. The doctor got some patients at this place.
Ifrs. Potts is not expected to live.
WESTSIDE.
Crops are looking first rate, such as
wheat, oats and barley. Corn don't
show much as yet.
We have had a good deal of rain in
the last few weeks. Roads are fearful
~ bad in the town of Westside. 1t
may we'll I've said we have not any in
tile town. As I was told yesterday by
man, it this town has any highways
we all want to know it and where to
find them, so that we sllan't get into
trouble and be brought up for trespass
before some Eastwood Justice. l am
getting to be an old man and want to
keep out of trouble if can, but don It

ago came to this place and located on
sec. Is, in company with Mr.. John Els
worth. We found travelled road A.
cross the land that we entered. Ne
changed that road to the south, as it
did not make the road any longer and
made better route, but left all the an
giles across my land. This is still the
highway and I am glad to have the
rO'td., It runs about. one mile on the
east line, then angles gradually across
sections II and l6 and about one-half
across Is to thu Kanaranzi Greek.
This has been the mail route from Wor-
Ellington to Luyerne and the travel has
passed over this route from east to
west. This route from the Greek to
meet tile Rock county road makes one
mile north. :, 1t intersects the Rock
county road between sections IL and 10.

was a county road laid from Worthing.

line OF section Is, then bore south to
intersect sec. 21. and follows the Sec
ton lines to the Rock county line.
This road has never had any travel on
it and it il not a feasible route for a
road as it would cost the town $500 at
least to put a road on that line. There
is one near Mr.. Ira Crosyb's line on sec.
20 and lle has never travelled that road
but wants to drive the public on that
line and told me no longer than yester.
day that had got to he the road and not
the old route. That is a good route
and If Mr.. Crosby compels us to travel
ny his house, I will just stop and take
my dinner and feed my team with him
every time. 1t Is just three miles from
Mr.. Ellsworth 3 to the Kanaranzi Greek,
but to 60 by Mr.. Crosby's, it would
make just miles. This old route has
been established by law, for it has been
