Died. wife of Mr.. L. Bovin,
who has been i'll for several weeks
past, breathed her last on Wednesday
morning about 7 o'clock. All that
could have been done for her relief was
tried, and in spite of Drs. Whitney.
Foisey, and Hurley's best efforts to
restore her to health, she gradually
failed until death came to her relief
About one year ago Miss Zilda was
young lady of about fourteen summers
blooming in health, with bright pros
poets in the future, and to-day we re-
cord her death. 1t seems very unjust
that youth should be robbed of its
happiness by the unwise advice of old
age. She leaves small babe and
husband to noun her sad departure.
The funeral ceremonies will take
place at the Catholic church, Friday
morning at 10 o'clock.

We clip the following good, words
from Hungerfords Real Estate Journal
published at Stevens Point:
Wood county is making rapid i'm
provements. both in agricultural and
mechanical branches-new farms are
being opened, and mills built. They
have a pail and tub factory that turns
out thousands of tubs and pals, which
are sent all over the country. They
have, also, several stave mills in op-
Grafton, cutting millions of barrel slaves
annually, besides number of saw mills
which turns out millions Of feet of pine
lumber.
At Grand Rapids. they have the
finest water power in the state.
Centralia is improving very FAST
new stores and dwellings, being erected.
They are building a large hub and
spoke factory, which will give employ
ment to great many men. The far
mers can realize a good profit from
their timber, and at the SANG tune clear
off their land. Here you see the diff
ference between prairie farm and TIM
berea land. In one case they have to
buy all their frewood and fencing,
paying good round price for it, while
on the other hand, our farmer receives
a good revenue from the sale of timber,
besides having all he wants for his own
use. We learn that there was to be
bank started in CentraIia.
Passing over the river we find Grand
Rapids, the twin sister of Centralia:
We do not find this city improving
quite so rapidly; still there are some
improvements being made. We find
that j. Il. Brudnage of the Tribune,
was going into the hardware business.
We found him marking goods, with a
5eamlng cOuntenance. The firm name
will be Brundage & Furguson. -
We met Doc. Witter, who owns the
pump that will cure the rheumatism.
the doctor is the most. genial man we
have met, at least we felt SO when he
passed US over silver for the Journal
We called on |. l.. Mosher, . County
Treasurer, who is working hard. get
ting ready to make big sale of land
on The, 18th of May They are to be
sold for taxes, providing they are not
paid before =.
3. K. Clark, Of the Rablin Housr,
Is very agreeable man, especially to
those who settle for board in cash. ~
Our old friend Lem. Kroner, has
charge CT the bus line and express of
fee.
l.. P Powers, the attorney and
Land Agent seems contented, and
speaks well of the prospects IN future
for Wood County lands he reports
many new settlers during the past
year.

Geo. Peck's Views:-Geo. Peck,
III the last issue Of the San, has this
timely and appropriate notice:
"Grif j Thomas, of Berlin, de-
partment commander of the order
known as Grand Army of the Republic,
an association of soldiers of the late
war, has issued an order recommend
ing the celebration of Decoration Day,
May 80. Those live soldiers who are
decorated with health, happiness and
and large hearts, should remember the
tenants of the little mounds, who stop
ped rebel bullet, or a southern dis
ease, and laid down their bundles for
this star spangled country, where now
rebels that shot them or diseased them
are as sassy as they were twelve years
ago, and are knocking chips off OF
northern shoulders, and asking what
we are going to Go about it."

Progressing The Improvements
on the Methodist Church are going or
slowly, but perhaps with reasonable
dispatch. The calcimining is finished
and is superb job. Mr.. Colcord has
not only demonstrated his skill in this
art, but conquered the prejudices of
some who thought the attempt to cal
cimine would be failure.
For one more Sabbath the Church
and S. S. will be held at Garrison S
Hall in Centralia.

On account of the great increase IN
Spafford & Coles trade, D. j. Cole
has been compelled to resign the Office
of Secretary ofthe Wood County Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical Association.
l. 0. Schultz has been elected in his
place. Schultz will be a good man for
the place.
With corps of officers MOI surpas-
sed in energy and ability by any in
the state, with an executive boarl Of
efficient and experienced men, backed
up BY the population of Wood County
who are becoming alive to the fact
that the growing interest in a genuine
Agricultural Fair is becoming more
apparent every day. 49,
With a strong desire Of many who
have never aided the society before, to
place on exhibit, this fall, articles Of
merit aud worth. With all these fair
prospects in the future fer a society
which is already strong, We predict no
possible shadow of show for failure
But on the other hand we think
that with the future prospects of the
Society, our next Annual Fair, will be
double in interest TO any ever held
here before.
