THE SUN AND THE WIND.

A Dispute once arose Betwixt the
north Wind and The Sun, or at least,
Hsop says SO, as to their Respective
Superiority, and they agreed TO See
which could first induce a Traveller to
part with His cloak. The North Wind
began and blew through his Whiskers,
with very Cold Blast indeed, accom-
panied with a shower of wet, Wet
Rain. That's where the Wind Got
Left. The Traveller exclaimed: "Darn
this Journeying on Foot, anyway. I
shall save time, attain Green old Age,
and leave a Respected name to my
children if l travel on that Famous
Line, the Wisconsin Central" And he
came In out of the wet" and bought a
Ticket, and rode in the Luxurious
Coaches, and slept at night in the
Magnificent Sleepers furnished by that
line.

Rev. S. Smiths Departure.

Last Sabbath evening farewell union
services were held at the NJ. E. Church
In honor of the pastor who just closed
four years active service in these COM
munities. During this time Rev. Smith
and wife have worked themselves into
the hearts of our people until it seems
hard to part with them. Their genial
and Christian graces have won for them
a warm place in the hearts of the
church membership, as well as the citi-
zens generally. Mr.. Smiths labors
have been arduous and fearless ALWAYS
preaching the simple gospel truth as he
found it. His place will be hard to fill.
The following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the congregation:
WHEREAS, Brother Stephen Smith has
been for the last four years pastor of
the First NJ. E. Church, of Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin, and by his faithful
ministrations, his exemplary life, and
his earnest labors has contributed much
to the general interests and the spirit
ual prosperity of said church, therefore
RESOLVED, That it is with great regret
that we realize the necessity for his
removal and that wherever he may go,
We can heartily commend him as one
who does the Masters work fearlessly,
relying always upon the approval of
Him he SO faithfully serves.
RESOLVED, That in severing our rela-
tions with him and his faithful wife we
can only say that their Christian exam
pie and influence will be cherished and
remembered and our prayer is that we
may all meet in the home of the finally
faithful.
Rev. Loomis, Prof Groesbeck, Messrs
F. J. Wood and d. J. Cole, all spoke
highly of Rev. Smiths labor in this
vinyard and bespoke for himself and
good wife a long and happy future. In
closing Rev. Smith spoke very earnestly
of the pleasant associations he had had
in these cities and would look back
over the past four years with pleasant
recollections.
He took his departure Monday morn
ing for Oshkosh, where be will join
his wife and there fix up his new
residence, lately erected, preparatory
to occupying the same. The REPORTER
joins with their host of friends in these
communities in wishing them many
wears more of usefulness

TOmahawk Pulp Mill.

A. NJ Pride one of the proprietors of
the Tomahawk Pull p Mill inform us that
everything is now in running order at
the mill at South Tomahawk. AS the
resident representative of this company
he has been faithful admirer of the
"Hatchet City, from the start Other
towns down the river held out induce
ments to the company to locate there
but the many superior advantages pos
sessed by this city decided the question
in our favor. OF all the many wealthy
men who have come to this city there
is none better liked or more thoroughly
respected than Mr.. Pride. He is a
self-made man but he was cast on an
excellent pattern. He is liberal, gener-
Gus and whole souled in the extreme
and deserves ail the good there is on
earth. BY the way THE ToMAHAwK
trusts that, now he has the pulp mill in
running order he will begin the consid-
Grafton of the construction of a paper
mill.

Sad Death of John Phiel.

1t is always a sad duty to write the
obituary of a friend and citizen, but
sadder still when death comes by
accident in the full vigor of good health.
This week we chronicle such an event.
1t appears that while Mr.. John Phiel
was doing his chores at his farm in the
town of Sigel, this county, last Friday
evening, he was attacked by Durham
bull IN the barn ward and was gored to
death in few seconds. No one being
close at hand it is supposed that Mr..
Phiel was passing through the yard and
the bull turned upon him with above
results. He screamed and the hired
man who was in the wagon shed near
by came Immediately to his relief He
had already gored him in the stomach
and chest so that his inwards were
exposed to view The man was breath
ing but unconscious. he was
Immediately taken into the house and a
physician sent for. He came to his
senses and told of the accident and
lived about four hours Mr. John Phiel
was born in Ruberga, Smollan, Sweden,
the 18th day Of August 1922, and was
therefore 81 years, one month and two
days Old He came to this country in
1852, stopped few months in the
vicinity of Chicago, and thence to Wood
county where he has ever since resided.
He followed the occupation in early
days of making shingles and logging.
Latterly farming. He had often met
with accidents. In 1886, and in 1888, he
was thrown off a wagon by runaway
team receiving severe injuries and
would have died from them, but for
the fact that he had an iron constitution.
He served his time in the defense of
his country as private in company G,
18th regiment
The funeral service took place Mon
dav afternoon at the Lutheran church
in the town of Sigel, Rev. c. Msltson,
officiating. A large number of his
comrades were present at his funeral.

CHOLERA IN MICHIGAN.

DR.. F. D. Larke, of Rogers City,
Michigan, says the epidemic of last year
in Presque Isle County, in which so
many persons lost their lives, was chol-
eric dYsentery instead of cholera as
first reported. He used Chamberlain s
collie, cholera and diarrhoea remedy
and says it succeeded, where all other
remedies failed. Not single case was
lost in which it was used. This Rem
edy is the most reliable and most sue
cessful medicine known for collie cholera
morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea and
bloody fux. 25 and so cent bottles for
