On his return from Princeton Mr..
G. J. Kruger stopped over a few hours
the Fourth, in this city. A short
time was spent in the REPORTER
Office. Mr.. Kruger gave US his short
experience in and about Princeton.
He says Wood county farming lands
are as good as those around Princeton
only requiring development to surpass
them.

OLD MOTHER SHIPToN.-Consider-
able "stock" was taken in what Moth
er Shipton said would come to pass in
the year 1881 by those who are ready
to swallow down every within that floats
along; but these same persons will suf-
fer from having all sorts of humors for
years, before they will believe that
fifty cents worth of Swayne's Oint-
ment will effectually cure them. Min
listers, judges, lawyers, and even ply
sicians have testified to it's merits.

MARRIED saturday July LIST at
Kilbourn, Mr.. Hugh Hurley of Sara
toga and Miss Clara Merrill of Friend
ship. Mr.. Hurley is we'll known to
the people of this city and county.
For many years we have known Hugh
and admired his cheerful disposition
and kind heartedness, wondering how
he escaped cupid so successfully. He
has finally succumbed to the inevita-
BILE and his friends extend congratula-
tions.
A general discharge of conductors
took place again on the Green Bay
road this week. Messrs. Monahan,
Aldrick, Landon and G. E. Smith are
among the number. There are many
changes taking place on this road
which leads one to believe John I.
Blair is giving his personal attention
to the road This line is sadly in
need of frst-class manager of the
freight department.
In 1861, Mr.. Henry Fexlix, sober
industrious and hard working man, en-
listed sin the Union army and while
engaged in battle received a gun-shot
wound in the head, which necessitated
his discharge and has troubled him
more or less ever since. More recently
however, his eye-sight has become
affected therefrom and through attor-
ney Williams applied for a pension
which he received Saturday in the
sum of $3.50. It's pleasant to know
the boys in blue are receiving little
attention in a substantial manner.
The mill of Mr.. ". H. Cochran
closed down for two weeks and the
boys will take vacation, Mr.. Coch
ran employs about 90 men besides his
logging crew. This mill is a portable
one and its efficiency surpasses the
most sanguine expectations of both
Mr.. Cochran and D. z. Bisbee, the
manager. They expected to cut about
10000 per day but on looking over
the work they find the mill has
averaged nearly $4,000 each day.
They run daytime only and now have
piled in the yard about l, 800, 900 feet.
The logging crew find it very hard
work to keep the little mill supplied
with logs.
MORE New R1Gs.-Messrs. Ed
wards & Hooper, liverymen, have Just
purchased enc more carriage and also
a handsome three seated Extension
Top Barouche, with side lamps. 1t is
beautifully finished, costs the delicate
sum of $500 delivered and weighs
$50 pounds. It was made to order
by W, NJ Treanore at Ripon and is a
model Of beauty. These men are
taking great pains to supply the public
with first-class livery rigs and deserv-
ling the large patronage they are get
ting. When you call on the boys for
a livery you may expect to be treated
courteously and get the best at mod
crate prices.
