Doesn't ii strike the readers of the
Reporter as rather singular that when
ever that paper resorts to personal at
tacks 1t IS always over the signature of
some unnamed person?-Enterprise.
The above is not correct. Whenever
we have anything to say, we speak
right ont il meeting. The Enterprise
is always pleased to say in such cases
that we have opened or mud battery"
The REp6RTER's columns are open for
the people to express themselves. If
they desire to retain their identity and
we are willing they should. they shall
have that privilege. Some things are
spoiled BY knowing the individual and
his identity. Bro Editor that's the
trouble with your heavy editorials.
Remember that every man has opinions
peculiar to himself. Perhaps that's
your trouble. For the present we are
running the REPORTER and when we
see fit TO allow our friends to speak
their sentiments over a or any other
signature they shall enjoy that privi-
lcgc. You are not asked to believe all
you read for if you did your own
paper would lead YOU astray every

tered the little girls forehead over the

CORRESPONDENCE FROM VEsPER

Being reader of your paper for
sometime. and not seeing anything
from our thriving little town for some
weeks, | thought [ would remind you
that we are still alive and doing bust
ness. Many things are Transporting and
among the rest the big turn out of the
Democrats last Friday night, .occasioned
by the speech Of that great apostle of
free trade Col. Villas, at Marshfeld.
The faithful must all hear him, so an
extra train was sent up from Port
Edwards for their accommodation
When the train started from Centralla
it had on board all it could carry, and
when it got to Fishers crossing it
whizzed by with hardly whistle of
warming where - Or 20 were waiting,
q very disappointed crowd. They
stopped in Il field about SO rods east OF
Joe Whites and held Il consultation and
decided to Gerrymander Vesper. They
left another sad faced crowd giving vent
to their disappointment, and when
they got to Nesper never halted not
withstanding about 80 were waiting.
This crowd adjourned from the depot
to P Fanagan's saloon the sure solace
Of disappointed Democrats. When the
writer was coming home from work he
met 10 or Is of them going to catch the
train and they sang out "Marshfeld or
Bust" and when they came back after
the train had left them, written on
every face was, busted by -. At the
dawn Of early morning the lights
at the saloon were still burning but
the Glory had departed for all
was still and [ asked myself where O!
where are the faithful? Where are the
Watchdogs OF Democracy? and echo
answered where?

IN Memory of Tennyson.

The Woman's Culture Club had very
delightful session last Tuesday evening,
the following Tennyson Memorial pro-
gram being presented:
Biographical Sketch ....... Mrs. W. II. Leuhr
Ethics of Tennyson's Poetry~....Mrs. J. L. Dugas
Song THE Brook" Miss Laura Reeves
Reading. THE Brook Miss Lima Hasbrouck
Reading. Vision of Fair Women
Miss Stella Jackson.
Quotations from the Laureate's works
were given by the Club. The music
was particularly delightful the soft
tones Of the guitar especially adapting
themselves to the voice Of the singer
and mellow notes Of the song.
For the next few weeks the study of
Architecture will occupy the Club, and
in connection there will be study of
the Worlds Fair buildings.
It has been whispered around the
Club room that sometime in the future
an open session will be given, when the
"sterner sex" will be allowed to see the
thorough and interesting work the Club
is doing.
