Respectfully yours,
G. e. BASFORD & Co.
NJ. Zion, Township Of Harrison

The farmers of this part of our town
are very jubilant oyer the prospect for
small grain and hay, but they are hav-
ing the blues over the persent outlook
for the corn crop.
Barney Vannatta was the happy
recipient of fine large boy. 1t is of
the usual weight and Barney says the
baby is soldier. The father, mother
and son are all doing as well as could
be expected, considering the fact that
the HERALD agent came along and
almost scared the "old man" out of his
wits.
Irwin Vannatta has bought the John
H. Wilson farm and he is now snugly
domiciled in his new home, and is
happy as a lark We wish him album
dant success. for he is one of the good
honest men of the county.
j. p Jacllly says he is rs happy as
Barney and will 90 one better they
are twins, and they are all doing admir-
ably. j. p. thinks he will be able to
survive the shock but if history should
repeat itself he don't know what wo uld
become of him,
One of the most successful farmers
in this section of country is Herman
Rouse. He is principally engaged in
the raising of stock.
We had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
j. Z. Stewart of Baraboo, the gentle
manly agent of the nursery firm of A.
G. futile of Baraboo. He informed US
that he had made quite thorough
canvass of our town and had met with
very good success. Mr.. Stewart came
in our midst total stranger but his
pleasant and affable manner made for
him host of friends.
Leander Knox is the blacksmith in
this part of the county for miles around
and a more experienced, or better work
man cannot be found. He has all the
work he can do, and he gives satisfac-
ton to all who call on him.
This neighborhood is greatly in need
of Post-Oflice, and VIC think it would
be wise to petition the Hon. p. Nj. Gen
eral to locate an office heIe
Miss Dora Long is teaching school
in the Bowmer district, and a more
successf III teacher the district has never
had
The Mt. Zion school is being taught
by Miss Millhouse of Galena, and the
action Of the board in procuring the
services of Miss Millhouse has proven
beyond doubt that they acted wisely
and well, for she is proving to be the
most successful teacher that this dis
trict has had for years.

CHILDREN's DAY.-Last Sunday eve
ming the NJ. Z. church was crowded to
overlooking to witness the children IS
day exercises. The church was hand
somely decorated for the occasion.
Beautiful MOSES and stately ferns
formed the floor to the summer
house" This feature of the decoration
consisted of three arches covered with
arbor-vitae interviewer with white
flowers. Around this were placed
flowers of great many varities lend
ing to the scene an air of beauty and
fragrance. The program was unusually
interesting and entertaining, consisting
of songs and recitations. The most
attractive feature of the evenings enter
tainment was the decoration of the
cross. A band of small girls, dressed
in white, marched across the platform
in front of the cross, each one leaving
bouquet IS she passed. These were
placed on the cross In such q manner
as to form the word Reclaimed. I The
entertainment as whole was 4 success
and everyone who attended was well
pleased with the entertainment.

STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE Last
week Friday young man by the name
of Frederic Hahn, in the employ OF
Conrad Vesperman, near Fennimore,
failed to put in an appearance at sup
per time, and a search for him revealed
the following facts: He had been har-
rowing during the afternoon and was
seen as late Us five o'clock, in the field
When Mr.. Vesperman went out to look
for him, he found the team tied in the
field and Hahn gone. He was traced
to Fennimore, where he had been seen
by different people. While there he
bought a jacket and overalls, and went
to the saloon for beer and crackers.
He left the saloon about half past nine
that evening, and since then all efforts
to find any trace of him have been I'M
availing Mr.. Vesperman came to
Lancaster to consult Mr.. Buchner in
the matter, and! Charlie Bennett was
set to work on the case. He has been
for two days trying to trace Hahn but
can get no clue to his whereabouts.
1t seems singular thing,as Vesperman
says he was owing Hahn SIS, that he
left all his clothes, and that he was q
steady industrious young fellow whom
he liked well. 1t is supposed that he
L L L.
made his small purchases in Fennimore,
as he got them on vesperman's ac-
count, and did not even pay for the
beer he drank. He had in his possession
a note for so. against his brother,
which was not found in his trunk, and
which he may have negotiated. No
reasons can be assigned in explanation
of this singular disappearance.
