Mine Host Wagner, OF Lancaster.
took in the sights and scenes of this
village last Saturday. We understand
he was looking after the interest he
owned in the World Renowned Circus
of Ferguson & Williams. He got cash
for his interest and then took his de.
Iparture for his home, no doubt hoping
that he would never have the same bus
mess call him away from home again.
The Georgetown base ball club was
here last Saturday To play the Pnl,si
nine, and those who had the pleasure OF
witnessing the game say it was the best
that was ever played in this place, but
tho Georgetown club was like all other
clubs that come here. got beaten. But
they are all good players, and more
gentlemanly fellows were never in our
town. The people of Georgetown
ought to feel proud of her boys, and
we know they do.
Ferguson & Williams circus had
very fair audience TO witnes their per-
Torrance last Saturday. Considering
the size of the circus and difficulties
which they could not at present prevent,
it was as good as shows generally are.
We predict. that if they are not already, |
they soon will be, a busted company. |

we saw him last week between the /
Plates and he informed us that he was !
ON the road to matrimony; that no had (
found his beau ideal at last, and that in
the near future he would take unto
himself a bride. We hope that IL it is

wife, for Harmon is a good fellow

village last Sunday visiting with CIar-

Miss Minnie Greene went 10 Homer,
Minnesota, last Monday to visit with
her sister, Mrs. Lily Burns, and it is re-
ported that she has a very lucrative
position there and that she will not
be resident of this place again. We
hope such is not the case, for Miss
Minnie is ono of the ladies whose place
cannot be filled by every one, especially
in the Sunday School and church work.
Wherever her lot may be cast, We wish
her to be successful, for she is deserv.
ing of success.
Messrs. Miekish & Krieser are doing
very large business this year selling
agricultural implements. They are
agents for the Champion Co.. and from
the number of binders we saw leaving
their depot one day last week, we
should say that they will take the
premium here tkis year, for selling
more than any other firm in Southern
Grant County.
Miss Annie Swalo who has been an
attendent at the asylum for some time,
came home on Sunday last to spend an
indefinite length of time. We are sorry

gain her former strength and vigor in
short time.

ful term of school on Boice Prairie.
Jim Dene, while in Chicago last
week, purchased one of the finest
counters that could be found in the
! city, he will place it in his bar room
this week. and then we expect there
will be matinee every afternoon at
Jim's for the next month When he
gets it fixed up you must look at it for
it is perfect beauty.

from Van Buron up to onr village and
is snugly located in No. 1l2. He is
