the Kenoshas.

Miss Della Kingsland, typo at this
office, was the lucky one at the Saturday
evening performance of the Galloway
Company. She was the recipient of an
elegant gold watch. The Company are
putting up a good show, and best of all

What next? We really begin to
think that Kenosha is waking up. The
latest movement on front is that of put

proposed road will run from the depot to
