real estate, insurance and abstracts,
CentralIa, for kind remembrance on
Christmas with a copy of 1.-THE Horse
Review" published in Chicago, and
calendars for 1896, containing elegant
views of the Nekoosa Paper Co.'S plant
at Nekoosa; Grand Rapids Pulp and
Paper Co., at Biron's; City of Grand
Rapids with fine view of the left bank
of the Wisconsin river and Centralia
showing the right bank of the Wiscon-
sin river. The views were taken by
Mr.. Taylor and they are all fine and the
product of home talent therefore the
more appreciated. Besides these views
and this FIRMS advertisement they con-
tain brief sketch giving population of
the twin cities and the advantages
offered here for investments. They
have distributed 1900 Of these calendars
to their customers and other points
where they will do the most good. We
admire the enterprise manifested by
the new firm in our sister city and hope
more of our business men will be
inspired to do similar work to adver-
tise their business and the cities in
WG;n they live.

Uncle Toms Cabin Coming.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" never grows
old. There runs through it Il vein of
pathos peculiarly touching and sweet.
1t speaks the universal language Of the
heart. 1t reflects like the prism of the
innermost phases of the human emotion.
1t is more than a play; it is a moral
classic. 1t argues for two of the greatest
themes that can engage the mind
human liberty and Immortality of the
soul. Notwithstanding it's frequent
productions, there is absolutely only
one first-class company in existence
who properly present this foremost
American drama. 1t is refreshing to
see the old play in its natural habili-
ments once more. 1t is like meeting
an old friend after many years. The
manager doubtless believes in the
maxim, whats worth doing, is worth
doing we'll" They have brought
together in this production all the
requisites that 90 to make up a first
class entertainment. The Salter and
Martin mammoth, original spectacular
Uncle Toms Cabin Co. will appear at
Opera House Wednesday Jan. Sth.

DEATH OF JOHN w. DEGROFF.

have learned to look upon as a kind
friend and master. John Wesly
DeGroff, big hearted John, is no more
His death, so sudden, occurred yester-
day morning at 4:20 in the presence of
his faithful wife. But few knew Of Mr..
DeGrot7s sickness and not even the
members of the family dreamed that
his journey on this earth would termi
nate so soon. About four weeks ago,
he was taken down with a bad cold
which soon developed into stomach
trouble, his immediate death however
being heart failure. He was conscious
dissolution, leaning on the arm of his
wife lie walked from couch in the
parIOr to his bed chamber. AS he sat
down half reclining he uttered the
words, his last. Everything is getting
black" and drawing long breath
ansW cred Deaths call. Mr.. DeGroff
was born in the town of Metz, Cayuga
Co. New York, Oct. y, 1913. He came
to this state in 1914 with his parents,
settling in Dodge Co. In 1862 he
enlisted in Co. G. 25th Wis. Infantry,
and marched with Sherman to the sea-
Since the war but few men in this state
have had more varied or interesting
career, and has held various offices of
state. He was editor of the Buffalo
County Journal for Is years, disposing
of that paper to purchase the Marsh
field Times, which he did July l, 1891,
and which he owned at the time of his
death. He leaves a broken hearted
yI1 nd
o., Rob. r. and Winnifred to mourn
his sudden taking away. His oft ex-
pressed wish to be buried at Alma on
the banks of the great Mississippi river,
will be carried out, the funeral cortege
leaving here over the Wisconsin
Central at 2:3S Mondav morning.
There will be service at the house at
3 O'Clock p. m. Sunday. His death has
caused a burst of sympathy and pro-
found regret throughout the city.
We join heartily in the sentiment
expressed in the above obituary taken
from the Marshlield Times. John
DETROIT was true devoted friend-one
of the most faithful friends and advo-
Gates of the present Governor. He did
more towards aiding the Governor to
his present position than any other
man in the state. He should have been
rendered the best the Governor had at
his bestowal, but instead he received
the office Of assistant factory inspector
at salary of $1,000. This mark of
appreciation on the part of the Cover
nor was great disappointment to Mr..
DeGroff and his friends in Wood
county. The good man is now dead
and his labors are ended. May he be
crowned with the proper laurels due to
one who has been faithful and true to
those whom in life he believed to be
his friends. We mourn his principles
of character for they are possessed 10y
few. His memory will be cherished by
those who knew hin. Intimately. Hay
his bereaved family take heart in the
thought that hereafter he WILDE freed
from the trials and vexations of this
life.
