established a good law practice and is
fourishIpg.
In the early morning we pulled the
latchet of Bro. McCord's printing
office, as we had done the night before,
but found no one in. As the stage
left Immediately re had no time to
tarry, though we did just want to get
in and put our mouth to that telephone
which connects with Myron' residence
and whisper Nc G o r D just once,
but we 12esisted for two reasons, one,
we weren t in, another, We were afraid .
Bic. might think some galoot was
tumbling about among Ills type and
tax list, and would ccme to the cor
clusion that whoever it was had al /
ready Eta Space. and would soon be
choking with quaTs and dashcs, and
maybe swallow all his ink and have
the black vomit, hence we desisted. |
But we did envy Myron that telephone
Now ne have to put all the hard words
on piece Of card board and take it
home to our wife who spells them cor
rectly for US, but Myron can just put
his mouth to that tempting machine
and kiss his wife quarter of a mile
away. or ask her if croquct begins
with capital K Q, and ell the
time remain in his sanctum. Wen
have a telephone or the yellow fever
before another year, i
JENNY.
This bcausiful village with the
charming name is situated on the east
side Of the Wisconsin River, with
woods all about it, but it is rapidly en-
croaching upon the forest 1t is beau
tiful 70" situation, and is growing rap
idly. Over thirty first class buildings
are going up, many of them conlplct-
edo the present season. Scott & An
dreNs have large lumber mill upon
the river, and large and very fine
Touring n:ill has just gone into opera
ton. Jenny's merchants are all flour
ishing. Mr.. Pose has nearly finished
a spacious hotel which takes the place
of the one consumed by fire last spring
It is to be one Of the best in the
Northwest We know Of no better
place for wideawake young men Of
capital or men with brain capital alone,
to locate, than Jenny. She Is destined
TO Become one Of the best points on
the Wisconsin River. The ". Y. r.
r. has finished its survey from Wau-
sau thither, and if the proper aid is
voted at The coming election, she is
promised 1.-The cars by next 18th of
July. Then indeed will our sister
city of Wausau have to look out for
her laurels. Wausau will not have to
throw up the sponge, but We are mis-
taken if she Will not be obliged to
pass the "belt" some IS miles farther
up tie fiif%.cr.
The stage pulling out, we booked
6urse1f for passage. We came down
with Dan SCOTS family, or portion
Of them. Only about seventeen babies
could get aboard, the rest staid to visit
with "Auntie. . We don't know how
many Dan Scott, but we judge some
forty to be on the stage at tie present
writing. We shook ourself over the
same road, and passed that terrible
hill with fear and trembling lest we
should fall over the dash board and
onto the patient horses, babies and all,
\ porous plaster OF! the end board
would have helped some. We reach
ed Wausat in season for the down
train, reaching home at $3.50 T. NJ.
The Greenback Co. Convention.
The Greenback Circus came off as
advertised, at the Court House last
Tuesday with an afternoon and even
ing performance. The troupe being
d0mbosed Of members from other COM
panies who had never before performed
together tic acting was Of que$tjdnd
lie order. There was not the greatest
harmoney. 1t is pleasant to see
protHetn dwell togetheF in Unity, But
: as they had not dwelt together before,
there was little unity, probably be-
cause they did not consider themselves
Bretheren. It was emusic all day;
and late into the night, eliminating in
and still the brethren were not happy.
