OLD SETTLERS.

Mr.. .. IOrrlSOn came to Manltowoc
Rapids In 1913. He was then a young
man of 20 years. He left Norway two
years before and these he spent at Port
Washington where he attended school.
His first work at the Rapids village was
clerklng In the store of Baker IL Boards
ley. There were t'iree general stores IN
the village at that time, the one mention
ed, one kept by Charles Kingholz and
one by Adam Bleser. l.. Sherman had
shoe store and tannery. 1t was still the
county seat and the village is described
as beautiful. The number of saw mills
along the river made business lively. The
surrounding country was then being
settled, but the pioneers found 1T reces-
sary white clearing their lands to make
provision for present wants by making
shingles. The Rapids was the chief mar
ket for this article of barter. Though
Manltowoc was then supplied with stores,
a great many of the Manitowoc people
even as late as 1850, made large part of
their purchases at the Rapids Mr..
Armsby came to the village about the
same time Mr.. Torrison did. Both Young
fellows slept IN the garrett of the store
building. Their bed was of the primitive
style, being made up on the floor.
The Rapids had quite an advantage
over Manitowoc in the fact that the road
leading TO the latter passed through the
former. What is known as the Calumet
road was not then open. In 1850 Baker
Il Beardsley removed their stock to Mani
towoc. Mr.. Torrison came with them, still
IN the capacity of clerk Soon after the
stock was sold to E. r. Smith and Cap
tain Smith and Mr.. Torrison remained
with them for two years. He then formed
a partnership with man named Nordvi
and they opened general store near the
Wlndlate House. Later they rented from
K. X. Jones the building now known as
the Jones Library building and remained
here until the store was removed to
Eighth street near the river.
There are few men who started life as
a clerk IN village store and who enter
ed business for himself with his savings
as capital, who have done more than Mr..
Torrison has. When one looks at his
large store, fine residence and his other
extensive property and then thinks of the
clerk IN the village store A years ago, he
cannot help admiring the industry and
business ability which have wrought the
change.

BEWARE OF OINIMENTS FOR
CATARRH THAT CONTAIN
MERCURY

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucus surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by T. j.
Cheney Il Co., Toledo, o., contains no
mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucus sur
faces of the system. In buying Halls

republican candidates and platforms are
proving boomerangs. However, it Is
