attractions for our people on the Fourth, the

A very pleasant Fourth of July party was
held at the residence of Miss Ellicott last
Thursday, made up principally of our young
people. A very pleasant time is reported.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Baxter of Bangor, Wis.
are visiting their sons-in.law, Charley Law
renee, the harness-man, and j. W. Barber, de.
pot agent. 1t is their first visit to this county,

try. Never saw finer country in their lives.
The new double store. which is expected to
be completed next week. will be occupied by
Torgrlmson s. Hovda. general merchandise,
and Mr.. Bacon, drugs. 1t is fine corner and
helps the looks Of our street. Who says
Grand Meadow is not getting to the front?
Bacon's corner drug store narrowly es caped
from ire on the Fourth. Some Young Amer
lea, in his enthusiasm over the glorious.
Fourth, fired firecracker up the awning,
which soon ignited, burning it about two
thirds down before it could be extinguished.
Narrow escape.
c. F. Greening had the misfortune to slip
and fall from step ladder last week. He il
one of those bulldog sort OF chaps who never
say fail, and with the assistance of a good
hickory staff he managed to get around
though one could notice an occasiona
''ketch" in his "off sde.''
The Bear Creek cornet band have purchased
set of II fine instruments of Lyon & Healy
through Mr.. Greening, at a cost of $3.50. The
Bear Creek band is composed of some of oul
most sterling young men in the country, anC
it is safe to say that they will make q good
band, one that our community may feel proud
of. Success to the new band.
Some of our youngsters are indulging in
very dangerous pastime, that of using tn.
windows in certain vacant house for large
practice for their sling shots. 1t is a very
dangerous piece of business, and should the,
be detected IN such destruction of property
1t will fare rather hard with them. Better bt
a little careful, boys, and do your practice or
some other target.
Will Arnold returned from La Crosse las
week, after FIVE months ABSENCE. with
Smile brighter than the MONDAY sun. viii

but in moment of uneasiness, imagined tina,
he needed a "change of pasture,' but as be-
fore stated. he has returned and resumed his
position with Mr.. Greening, thoroughly con
vineed that Grand Meadow is little the hes,
place this country affords. and is as happy az
little boy with tin whistle. His many
friends are glad to welcome him back again
