friendship, and we shall much miss his
cheerful presence at the meetings of our
Board
ReSolued, That we tender to the family of
Mr.. Billings our heartfelt sympathy in this
their great affection.

Scribed upon the books of the Bank, and

Snow began falling about 10
o'clock p. m. Wednesday, the storm
continuing with few Interruptions I'M
til Thursday afternoon. The blank
ct OF snow now covering the ground
is about fourteen inches thick. The
storm is general throughout New
England, the snow south of us being
a little heavier, and in the vicinity of
Boston an inch and half of hail fol
lowed it. The yesterday morning
train on the Woodstock railroad came
in on time but was about three and a
half hours late in the afternoon.
Trains from all directions were late
in getting into the Junction, the
Northern express due at I.3o p. m.
pulling in three hours and 20 min
utes behind time. The Montreal
express was also several hours late.
The weather rapidly grew colder
yesterday evening and this morning
it was 70 deg. below zero-the low
est mark yet reached this winter.
One of the purposes of the village
meeting to be held Monday evening,
Jan. 7, is to see whether the village
will vote to establish 4 system of
sewerage, and in view of this i'm
portant matter the meeting should
be large one. The question of the
necessity of putting in such system
is not dcbatabe-it is only Il matter
of how it can be accomplished, and
how soon. A sewerage system is
something that must naturally follow
the other successful enterprises of
the last few years looking toward
village improvement, and every one
interested should be ready to work
for it, fight for it, and, if voter,
vote for it. Some may say issue
bonds. others, pay as YOU &C, and
some will be in favor of laying sec
ton at a time. But the point is to
get the work started, and started
right, and to put dollar into it with
the idea of putting another dollar
with it-not to stop when the enter
prise is once set going. Let every
voter be present at the meeting.
The time is ri pc for it-busness,
good health, and this present day
and generation demand it.

The reelection of Chairman
II. G. Thorn, was one of the most
becoming acts Of the republican
state convention. He is honest,
clean handed, clear headed, jealous
for the party, and with his two
years experience is undoubtedly the
best equipped man for the position
that could be selected.

Brief Biographies Of the Lives and Services Of
the Republican Candidates for State ofaces.
WILLIAM HENRY UPHAM.


was born at Nestcbester, Mass.
on the Sd Of May, 1S4l. He is the
eighth child of the eighth generation
of the defendants of John Upham,
who came to America from England
in 1885. At the age of IL he came
with his mother to Wisconsin. He
was pupil in the school of Col. J. g.
McMynn, in which were trained so
many men who have contributed to
the glory Of the Badger state. When
the war broke out, be was just 20
years Of age. His home was in
Racine, and there in March, 1851,
he enlisted in the only Wisconsin
regiment that was in the Battle of
Bull Run. He wac wounded, and
the retreating Unionists left him on
the field for dead. The rebels cap
tured him and he was imprisoned In
Libby. But the news that he was
dead reached Racine, and under the
impression that il was correct, his
funeral sermon was preached in
the First Presbyterian church Of that
city by Rev. Mr.. Hutchins.
The young soldier was in prison
seven months, during which time he
recovered from his wound. Then
he was released on parole, and went
to Washington to report to the Of
ficers of his command. He was
taken to President Lincoln, who was
always DESTROYS of opportunities to
question men who could give infor.
nation concerning matters on the
inside of the confederate lines. The
President was 80 much impressed
with the brightness and capacity of
the young volunteer that he appoint
ed him to a cadetship at West Point
From this institution he was gradu.
ated in 1866, with the rank of second
lieutenant. He was assigned to the
Fifth artillery, and in 1857 trans
ferred 10 the Fourth battery
u. S. A.
Two years later he was promoted
to first lieutenaucy, and soon after
resigned, returning to Wisconsin
and entering civil life. He gained
experience in theiumber business at
Kewaunee and in Shawano county
and in 1871 founded the town OF
Marshtield, building in the midst OF
All uncut wilderness saw and shin
gle mill, which became the nucleus
Of Il large and flourishing commun
ity, the soul Of whose prosperity
was the Upham Manufacturing com
pany. On June 81, 1887, Marsh
field was burned TO the ground. One
Of the largest employers of labor II
Wisconsin, Maj, Upham has never
had strike at his mills. He is 8
born leader of men, and he com
mands the respect and allegiance as
well as the confidence of all. Hls
manners are democratic. There i,
no nonsense about him. He is in
the fullest sense Of the word man
of the people.
