should have SAID z. 0. Hillman.
Mr.. Henry Oestreich celebrated his
35th birthday last Thursday. Quite
a number Of friends gathered at his
home to celebrate Among the guests
were Mr. Louis Luebke and family of
Manitowoc
That willy fox has again made his
appearance in the neighbOrhOOd.
However, the pursuit of sly Reynard
usually terminates in no more than
the Incidental slaughter of few SOUR
rels or rabbits.
A pleasant little gathering Of card
players took place at the residence of
Mr. Ira Boyer last Wednesday. Those
present enjoyed themselves to an ex-
tent which only those addicted to card
playing, can appreciate.
Some one has suggested that the
river would make a fine driveway for
sleighing parties, etc. The suggestion
is not without merit and it is surpris-
ing that the river has not been made
use of for such purposes long ago.
Some of our young sports were in
terested in the result of the Corbett
Mitchell fight. SO much SO, that they
went to town IN order to be among the
first to learn the result They were
SO elated at the outcome that, when
they returned they fairly painted the
town red"
Without doubt, the leading dance
before the opening of the Lenten sea
son, will be the masquerade that will
take place here Sunday Feb 4 Prof.
Novy's Orchestra has been engaged
and of course a good time may be an
ticipated.
The good sleighing has brought
with it an increase in teaming. Each
morning long before sunrise until
about 10 o'clock, an almost steady
train of wood and log teams may be
seen winding their way through the
village, enroute for Two Rivers and
ManltOwOc.
Those young men who, last Sunday
thought to have fun" by frightening
horses driven by ladies should beware
of a repetition of their recklessness
lest they get themselves into trouble.
Such peculiar diversions are not at all
In good taste and by indulging in
them. these young men do not place
themselves in favorable light in the
eyes of the public.

An interesting case of petty larceny
was brought before Justice Crate one
day last week. A youth by the name
of Finklemeyer stole cow-hide from
a'neighbor, one Mr.. Ramesh of Gibson,
and sold it to our butcher, Louis Lev
enhagen, receiving $3.50 for the hide.
The young gentleman is quite char
acter in his way and seems utterly de-
void of shame. When asked how he
appropriated the money derived from
the sale, he impudently replied,
"blowed it in" Though this was the
first time he was brought to trial, the
court could find no reason for the
special exercise of mercy, and showed
its disapproval of such conduct by
sentencing him to thirty days impris-
onment in the county Jail, besides Civ
ing the fellow good talking to which
it is hoped sank deep into his heart
and will induce him to mend his ways.
The red barns" are soon to be torn
down. The old saw mill is likewise
doomed to destruction These build
ings are intimately associated with
the early history of Mishicott. Their
destruction is indicative of new con
ditions, necessitating the removal
of these useless structures. They have
long ago fulfilled their mission and
are now of no real use to anybody.
They will probably be replaced by
more substantial dwellings.
