The semi-centennial edition OF the Ke-
nosha TELEGRA PHI COURIER is beauty,
and no mistake. Mr. L. A. Cass, it's en-
terprising publisher, is deservedly proud
of this beautiful piece of work. The
TELEGRAPH Co URIER now commences on
it's second fifty years of life with the best
of prospects. The semi-centennial num-

ond number of this kind and that we may
be here to SEP it.-Chacdg0 newspaper
