Boscobel.


you all hearty greeting from the fair
city of Boscobel. We would like to
shake hands with you all, and make
your acquaintance; but as this is not
possible we viii content ourselves by
sending you pen greetings through the
columns of the Herald.
No indeed! Our city is not dead or
even dying, despite the hard times that
prevail over our country, and the alb
sence of good sIeighing which make it
difficult for the farmers to bring in their
wood and produce. But wood is plenty
and most every one was well supplied
and ready for the cold snap that brought
the thermometer down to 30 deg. be-
low zero.
Lewis and Huffman two of our thrv-
ing merchants are looking little blue
since the damaging of their store by
fire on the 18th, but they are thriving
young men, and we hope soon to see
their genial faces behind the counter
waiting on their many customers.
The pie social held at Miss Emma
Hummels was decided success in ev-
cry particular, and was enjoyed by old
and young.
Rev. Thrall, father of Mrs. E. w.
jenny, is seriously i'll.
What is the matter with Galloway,
Walker and Miller. We presume it is
the loss of their efficient and obliging
lady clel Miss Nellie Muffley, who
has gone Lacrosse to take a
course in shol ,-nand and type writing.
But we know her place will soon be
filled, for these worthy gentlemen are
well liked by all whom they employ.
Prof. l.. l.. Lightcap takes part in
the teachers meeting at Wauzeka.
Saturday. Several of the High School
pupils expect to attend also.
Our new industry, the Boscobel Wool
en- Mills lately Incorporated as stock
company, is in thriving condition. A
little more capital would be a great
help. Those desiring TO purchase
shares may do so before March 1st for
$500 each, as Mr.. Stickler desires
that the stock be taken at once, and
has decided to allow per cent interest
on all stock purchased as an induce
ment. We wish the establishment
bright future.
Miss Eta Jacobs has been engaged
to finish term of school at the White
school house in Crawford County. We
will miss her bright face from among
us but wish her success.
A very sad accident occurred
at Soldiers Grove last Monday
morning about 8 o'clock. Two
sons OF J. w. Sanger aged y and Z
years respectively were drowned in the
mill pond of the Kickapoo river. The
boys were on their way to school and
crossing the ice, it being much nearer
way. A treacherous air hole escaped
the boys notice and they were precipi-
tated into fourteen feet of water Mr..
Sanger was formerly blacksmith in
this city and he and his wife have many
friends in this vicinity who extend to
them their sympathy, in this, their sad
bereaY ement The funeral took place
Thursday.
Mrs. 7. Crouch has been laid up with
neuralgia IN her right arm and shoulder.
That is the reason Rev. 7 Crouch has

the past week and failed to make his
round OF appointments on Sunday last

church will meet with Mrs. Geo. Wick
ems en- Friday afternoon of this week

We presume our former city milk
man. Mr. Wilson. thinks that during
these Grippy times the people need
medicine more than milk, as he has
given up his former occupation aud
gone to selling Quaker Remedies. Mr..
c. Guernsey now supplies the city with
milk.
We invite all interested IN the cause
Of education to pay a visit to the Bos-
cobel High School. You will consider
it time well spent if only to make the
acquaintance of Prof l.. L. Lightoap
He will greet you with a CHEEKY smile
and give you warm welcome.
