right man in The right place. The rink
is kept in superb condition and the

entertain wholesome regard for one

Lisberness and bis Ice rink. we have
striking example Of the So much appre-

Skating as an exercise is considered

iously practiced, no doubt can possibly
exist as TO its being anything else Be-
sides being conducive of health, skating
as pastime is unequaled. Therefore
we unhesitatingly recommend Mr.
Lisherness's ice rink as the proper
place to go when sullen, vndictive
modes assail you. and we also believe
in all verify that one can, for a time st
least, cast of that omnipresent, tired
feeling which we can read so much
about in all almanacs, if we're inclined

The building season in Lancaster
has closed after a busy year to the
builders. A large number of new
houses have been erected, many of
them Of good size and modern archi-
lecture. We would like had we time,
to mention the names of those who
have made new homes in our city, or
who have largely improved old ones.
The prospect for a prosperous build
ing season next year is excellent, and
carpenters are already figuring on
contracts. Many of the new homes
made in our city during the past few
years have been made by farmers,
who have spent nearly lifetime on
the farm and have concluded to take
it easy the rest of their days and we
know that they are wise in their
choice. To those who contemplate
making new home in some town we
do not hesitate to extend an invita-
ton to look over the many beautiful
building sites to be found in the diff
ferent parts of Lancaster. A county
| seat always possesses advantages for
large acquaintance over surrounding
towns even if it is not superior in
beauty and location, but when the
natural beauty of Lancaster is taken
into consideration we do not hesitate
TO challenge comparison with any 9th
er town in Southwestern Wisconsin.
Come and look the city over for your
selves and make homesl here You
viii meet win . cordial welcome.
The lecture given by Gen. A c.
Smith, Of Chicago, in the Odd Fellows
hall last Saturday evening, was exceed
ngly interesting. The General has
just returned from journey up The
Nile and through the Holy Land, and
as he is a man of large ability and a
most excellent sight-seer, the talk was
full of plain, pleasant information.
There was no attempt on the part of
the speaker to indulge in oratory, but
if ever a man had the attention OF his
audience from the beginning of his lee
ture to the very close, Gen. Smith most
certainly is the one. He did not come
here for the purpose of lecturing, but
for the purpose OF visiting bis old friend
VIM. Barlow, Esq, whom he has known
since boyhood. His account of his
journeyings was so attractive to MIR.
and Mrs. Barlow that they prevailed
upon him to meet much larger circle
of friends than their home could accom-
modate, and the result was this most
excellent and truthful description of
people and things as they now exist in
lands where civilization was hoary with
forty centuries before America was dis
covered. Not one of those who heard
the impromptu lecture will ever think
seriously of going to those historic
lands to make q home Aside from rich
historic incident these Eastern lands
have nothing that will induce immlgra-
ton or even visitation. The general is
quite confident that there is more good
arabic land in Grant county than there
IS in all Palestine, and he knows Grant
county well, for he lived before the re-
