the Tribune and Enterprise tickle one
another each week by their silly
twaddle. When either makes an
error it is called an adjustable error
or something still softer. Whew
what brilliancy. What stuff
Children's Day was appropriately
commemorated at the NJ E. church
morning and evening. The building
was handsomely decorated. The little
ones did nicely and the speeches were
real interesting. The music and sing
ing by L. f. Cole, HI. Watner, Mrs.
D. j. Cole and others was particularly
good on this occasion.
Will Jackson is fitting up his red
brick building in Centralia, east of
Garrison's store. for a saloon. The
boys say he will use the first floor
for saloon and make a gambling room
of the second story, while the third
will be converted into a resort. It
seems that Will should heed his dream
and be wise before it is too late.
Geo. H. Patch, of ST. Point, Pres
ident of the Pencil and Palette Club,
will be in this city to-day. to organize
class in perspective drawing. He
will meet all those wishing to join the
class at the residence Of Mrs. G. O.
Baker at 2 O'Clock p M.
Messrs. Moon and Townsend, of
Pittsvile, were seriously burned
about the head and breast while en-
deavoring to save their personal prop
erty from the second story of the
building burned at that place last
Wednesday. No great loss Of proper
ty. The factories all shut down and
the men assisted in putting out the
fire.
The Swiss Bell Ringers were
greeted with full house last Wednes
day evening, and eciprocated the
compliment by giving a frst-class en-
tertainment. Commodore Foote and
his sister are a show in themselves.
and were heartily encored at every
appearance. Mr.. Foote was a well
come caller at the REPORTER Office
with whom We enjoyed an interesting
conversation
At the State Medical Convention at
Milwaukee last week, DIR. Edison, of
Centralia, was elected as delegate to
represent Wisconsin in the National
Medical Convention to be held in To-
peka, Kansas, next month. This
should be conclusive proof that the
DIR. is physician in good standing
not only amongst the physicians of
this State, but the nation as we'll and
should forever set at rest the repre-
hensible rumors that have been so
freely circulated here for the past ten
months.
Mr. Julius Matthews is making
black ash barrel hoops at his farm in
Sigel, during spare time, and has now
on hand quantity. While on our
way to Vesper Monday we had a few
moments chat with him and learned
that he had in his crops and they were
doing we'll; that he had $4,000 barrel
hoops ready for market and they were
worth from 5 to 7 dollars per thousand
Julius thinks Wood county as profit
able country to live in as any part of
Dakota. and that is where he is sound.
The many friends Of Mr.. Joseph
Timm Jr. are highly pleased over his
rapid recovery from his recent injuries
when he lost an arm. We are glad to
note with others the superior abilities
Of Drs. Witter and Robinson as sur
geons. DR.. Witter is an experienced
