s0mely Entertained.

Nesper is a thriving little village on
the c., NJ & St. Paul and Port Edwards
Railroads and about ten miles from the
County Seat 1t is known for its bust
ness activity and her hOspitable people.
Among the most prominent are those
who entertained their friends last
Wednesday evening at the residence Of
Mr.. j. w. Cameron. Mr.. Cameron is
the life and head centre of the extern
sive firm of the Sherry, Cameron CO.,
and when he undertakes anything
nothing is left undone. He also has
corps of assistants in the persons Of l..
B. Kelley and G. F. Kellogg, who make
excellent running mates. In the recep-
ton they all had a hand. While we
would not deprecIate the excellent
qualities of the men We cannot over
look the pleasing and soclable qualities
of their wives, who are popularly known
in Wood county. However, the strong
combination formed and united in Civ
ing the reception, was an assurance on
the part of those invited that nothing
would be lacking, and those who at
tended can assure the readeas that
every thing was perfect.
A large dancing hall or pavilion, 2SX
48, had been erected between the resi-
dences Of Mr. Cameron and Kelley
specially for this occasion, which was
brightly illuminated with electric light.
The residences were beautifully decor
ated with flowers and the premises
generally were attractive in every re-
spect
