LosT.-A large, black Newfound-
land dog, with white spot on his
breast. We first missed him on the
18th instant. He wore a large brass
collar with the name Of Z. Pomainville
inscribed thereon. Any one returning
the dog to the undersigned will be
suitably rewarded.
L. POMAINVILLE.
In another column will be found the
card of Mr.. NJ. G. Woodwork, an
nouncing himself as a candidate for
the Office of Police Justice In this
connection we wish to say that we
trust the voters of this city will give
Mr.. Woodworth their united support
for this Office. His long experience
in criminal and court matters has given
him peculiar fitness for such office.
The writer will not be a candidate for
reelection.
Rev. w. D. Cole, who occupied
the pulpit of the M. E. church Sab
bath morning aud evening, delivered
two excellent sermons for one so young
in the ministry. He is 20 years old
and has the ability of one of mature
years. He is laying the foundation
whereupon he will build grand future
life in the Christian ministry We
were proud of him as he discoursed so
eloquently in the interests of God and
hu manity. Oh were there more of
such young men.
Mute Mills spent few hours in
this city Thursday last before return
ing to his home in Chippewa Falls.
He had been east on business for the
Chippewa Lumber Company with
whom he holds an Important position
as superintendent. Mute is we'll paid
and is liked by the company having
been with them over five years. He
has charge of large amount business
and men.
The business men and people gener-
ally, of Pittsville, are making serious
error in permitting the suspension of
the Independent on account of meagre
patronage. The publishers have given
them spicy paper and one that could
result only in advertising the village.
A newspaper is essentially necessity
to any town that has any hopes or
of growing and should receive
a hearty support. The village will be
the great loser by permitting this ca
lamity.
Our readers are aware that Mrs.
George Henier Sr. has been troubled
with a large tumor on her right arm
for several years. The past year it
has grown more rapidly than previous
ly. Lately it became so large that it
pressed upon the nerves of the arm
causing unbearable pain. This neces-
STATED some medical interference. The
tumor was removed last Saturday by
DIR. Robinson and though Mrs. Zenier
is sixty-six years old she bore the
operation bravely.
Another change has taken place In
the Amigo press. The Forward" a
five column folio has been purchased
by John A. Ogden, of Waupaca, and
is now published as an eight column
folio. Mr.. Ogden starts out under
favorable auspices and will make the
venture an undoubted success. His
contemporaries Of the News Item are
practical fellows with a broad news
paper charity for their fellow men.
1t is doubtless well understood that
Marshal Carey. will be a candidate for
reelection. Tho Mr.. Carey may not
be all that some people would like to
have him it cannot be said that he has
not made faithful officer for the
people. 1t is conceded that he has
made an efficient officer. Those who
dislike him personally will now find
occasion to vent their spleen. Mr..
Turnbull, who is his competitor in this
race is man we'll known to our people
and competent to fill the office. IF
elected he will no doubt make an
excellent officer. So far as Mr..
Carey is concerned, everyone knows
that he is attentive to his business,
maintains good order and a strict en-
forcement Of the laws. Any unfair
critisisms on the eve of an election
should have little weight with level
headed voters.
Dennis Finney while in an intoxi-
Gated state was severely pounded by
Dennis McCarty and John Garihee
Friday evening near n. E Emmons
jewelry store. The trouble grew out
of the fact that Dennis McCarty
accused Finney of stealing $25 from
him, rbiob +bo lo+4o, .to,-tI J.:.l
