Pleasant Prairie.
There seems to have been quite boom
in real estate at our village and surround
ing country the past month. There has
been a number Of transfers. Auctions and
moving are the order of the day.
We were pleased to see Mrs. D. + Holt
on our streets on Thursday last. We hope
she will make her home permanently in
our village, for we can i'll afford to have
one leave US that takes such All active part
in the church and other good works.
Our new and obliging groceryman, Mr..
ID. Hollenbeck, who succeeds E. E. Gethen
seems to fit himself into his new position
very acceptably to his patrons.
Miss Annie Evans, of Racine, has been
visiting at Mrs 7. Maloney's the past
week.
1t was a genuine surprise we had perpe-
trated on US last Friday morning, when we
found the ground covered with good coat
of the "beautiul." This return of winter
does not prevent some Of our good people
from indulging in the "pleasures" of house
cleaning.
M. G. w. TAFT, Of Racine, has been
spending few days at A. F. McNeips pre-
vious to starting for Meriden, Conn where
he contemplated spending the summer.
There is quite a little interest manifested
in our Wednesday evening prayer meetings.
However, it cannot be expected that people
outside the church will become very deeply
interested in such matters if eve who pro-
fess" do not make it point to be present,
even if we have to make an effort and sac
riice little comfort in order to do so.
Our popular physician, I. 3. Lyon, who
has already ingratiated himself into the
good will of the people of this community,
is gaining rapidly in his practice and we
predict for him successful future.
Last Monday morning we observed Frank
Mcneil making his first trip of the season.
His newly painted meat-box and wagon
present an attractive appearance.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. Larson were called up
on to mourn the death of their infant son on
Tuesday last.
The mum" sociable at Mrs. c. E. Pack
mans was enjoyed by all who participated.
1t required no little engineering on the
part of the gentlemen present to keep mum
the allotted time. We must admit that
the reaction was terrible strain on their
nervous systems. The charades of the eve
ming were good, but the tableau presented,
"The Two Double Two" carried off the
palm.
We sadly miss the genial smile of the
proprietor of the Cru bier Exchange" at
his old stand. AS consequence thread has
gone up to 5 cents spool. We under
stand that he has taken Horace Greeley's
advice.
Two of our young friends seem very
much interested in the science of medicine
of late. 1t is wonderful the deep thought
and hard study they exercise in the pursuit
of knowledge; and it is appalling the ter
rible experiences they endure in testing the
wonderful conglomerations left in their way.
Tor they have happily instituted the idea
Of testing their medicine ON themselves be-
fo re they give them to the patients left in
tn cir charge.
There will be quarterly conference
m' .eting at the Pleasant Prairie M. E.
CHI arch, ESaturday afternoon, April 9th.
Sa bbath morning there will be social
mt 'eting in the parlors of the church from
half-past ten until eleven o'clock, after
VIII ich there will be the usual services OF
the day.
Last Saturday some one in our immedi-
ate vicinity most forcibly verified the old
ada &c, "That haste makes waste" We
hea rd the unfortunate one remark that the
mary kind acts rendered, sympathy and
offe RS of assistance piled high on the altar
of friendship, would more than atone fol-
the misfortune of a sprained foot, unpleas.
ant as that may be.
