from trip to Wisconsin.
Get your minds made up as to whom we
will have for Village officers.
Elk marshal j. G. Hancock has returned
from trip to his old home in Vermont.
The sleighing in this vicinity is very good
for nothing, and in bad streaks at that.
Mr. and Mrs. w. w, Griswold left M on
day for St. Paul, to be absent for few
days.

CoLD.-The chilled blasts, or blasted
chills, of last Saturday made the average
citizen hug his fireside. Trade was at a
stand still, and the rushing business of the
day was monopolized by wind and snow.
Workmen were busy yesterday, remov-
ing the old smoke-stack on the Davidson
elevator, and replacing it with new one.
The old stack was ten inch, the new one
is fourteen inches in diameter, of heavier
iron, and ten feet longer.
Go IT.-Seven marriage licenses were
issued, by the clerk of court, during the
month of January. This being leap-year,

dull season of the year.
A large audience assembled at Goods
Hall, last Tuesday evening, the attraction

entertainment was fair of the kind, and
had one good feature-brevity.

host of anxious friends, that his rhyming
machine is again ready for work, and hav-
ing been provided with several late i'm
provements. is prepared to grind out even
worse doggerel than heretofore.
On AGoNY.-In about four weeks we
will have our annual village election, and
from appearances the slate makers are
busy figuring just how it will, or rather il
their opinion, should be. There are only
four candidates for marshal so far.
SPRlNG.-Seeders and drags are now be
ginning to occupy the attention of oul
farmers, and to those wishing to purchase
