In last weeks issue of the HERALD
the Plattevillc correspondence contained
an article headed eHoodlumism" which
is worthy careful consideration. Cities
are not the only sufferers from the
element referred to- In almost every
community, Christian people and
institutions are subject to ANNOYANCE
from them and Fennimore is by no
means exempt. A certain class of
young people seem to think their man
hood and womanhood enhanced by de-
riding and treating lightly what others
of the community regard as sacred.
This detestable spirit crops out at
church meetings, disturbing the rights
and peace of worshipers 1t is seen
on the streets, where only within the
the last.week honest Catholics wearing
the badge appropriate to their observance
of St Patrick's day were compelled to
see number of our young "bloods"
derisively sporting the same badge.
Again by a class of hoodlums, Young
enough to be at home and in bed by
s o'clock, following uprespectable church
going people with deriding and bias
phemous epithets. Parents can do much
to stop this conduct. If they do not,
examples should be made by legal
measures that will insure the rights of
law abiding citizens from such encroach-
ments.
Mr.. Tom. Tormey has returned from
his California trip, looking well. He
expresses himself well satisfied to be
back again on Wisconsin soil, which he
regards as good as any under the "blue
canopy.
DIR. MeDermott and has wife have
been for week or more at PIT. Andrew,
Richland County, called there, we under
stand, by the serious illness of Mrs.
McDermott's father.
Miss Sadie Sims, is home with her
father, Rev JAS Sims for the summer.
her school at Mt. Hope having Just
closed its spring term. Miss May Sims,
of Bloomington, is also taking a weeks
vacation from her school work by a
visit home.
Lawyer Arthur, of Lancaster, was in
town Friday, looking after some business
here. Walter Pollock also stopped
over few hours the same day. Walter,
by the way, has an eye for beauty and
knows pretty girl when he sees one.
A titled foreigner, no less than an
Earl arrived in the village last We'd
nesday night and took up permanent
quarters with Hawley's Prime Minister.
He will become naturalized Immediately
but cannot vote for q years. We
hope at the end of that time his grand
father will still be distributing the
mails
Gus Wenzel was also made happy
Friday morning by bouncing girl
baby which has come to his house to
STAY.
A company from Washburne pre-
scented the cantata of Queen Esther" at
COVERS Hall on Thursday evening.
They are amateurs, the company being
organized, we understand, to give an
entertainment at Washburne at the
school closing exercises under the
direction of Prof. Dyer 1t was unfortu-
nate perhaps that the date was selected
while protracted services were being
held at the NJ. T.. church, and the roads
in such impossible condition. unfortunate
too that only day or two previous
notice of the entertainment was given.
The audience was small but so far as
heard from were well pleased with the
performance
Song service will be held at the
U. b. church Saturday evening, March
q, under the direction of Elder Talbot
Regular church services at 1890 A. NJ
March %.
The Powers auction sale closed Sat
urday, the tag ends of the stock going
at slaughter prices. Sheriff Richards
is good fellow, but we hoped we won't
ever have to see him up here again on
similar business. Such sales are death
to regular trade and make hard sailing
for our merchants who must credit
largely and yet are expected to COM
pete with these smash-up prices. 1t
is more than limited that the end of tie
Powers affair is not yet but that ex-
tensive legal complications may ensue
before the avails of the sale are paid
over to any creditor. The lawyers likely
will have good picking before it's settled,
it current reports are true.
Geo. Moody has sold his match team
to j. B. johnson, of Monfort, for 1895.
Fred McNair was seen striking
bee line for Spring Street on Saturday.
He must have found the person he was
looking for, as he wore contented look
on his way back Monday.
Will Palmer was taken seriously i'll
on Sunday and is under the doctors
care at the Fennimore House. His
trouble is said to be congestion of the
brain. ~
