ton OF about 800 people and connected with the
Green Bay and Western Railroad. The Grand
Rapids Pulp & Paper Company is located here
1t is pleasing and refreshing to visit
the paper mills at Nekoosa, Port Ed
wards, South Centralia and Biron for
they impress one with the magnitude of
that industry upon the Wisconsin river
A few years ago it was supposed that
water III the Wisconsin river was not
suitable for paper-making, now Its con-
sdered better than the waters of the
Fox river. Just why this is true we do
not know, but the fact is true, that the

Biron and called at the company's
Office where we found Mr.. G.. S. Biron,
the general manager, and his book
keepers, Messrs. John Schnable Jr,
and John Steib, all busy with the bus1-
ness of that office. While there we
learned that the company had pur-
chased 1000 cords of fuel wood from
the farmers for which they paid out
over $4,000. They have already re-
ceived over 5000 cords of spruce and
poplar over the Green Bay railroad and
Still more coming. This plant manu-
features a fine grade of paper and
considering the times and demand for
paper, is successful in obtaining their
share of the trade. A visit to the mill
revealed perfect running machinery,
convenient arrangement of depart
ments, with the raw material entering
at the east end of the mill and passing
out at the west end finished product
ready for shipment to all points south
and west where most of the pro-
duet Of this mill is sent.

We note in the last issue of the
Necedah Republican that the town is to
pay for a wagon bridge across the Wis
cOnsin river of which is stated to be
under construction near the Schlanpitz
farm. We wish to state that the above
is mistake; while it is seemingly true
that the town board have devoted most
of their time at the expense of the
town along with the towns money, or
in other words the towns money when
levied and collected by the way of tax
alton, to the letting and building of
bridges across Yellow river, it is only
natural to suppose that they would be-
gin on the Wisconsin river when there
is no room for another bridge to be
found on Yellow river in this town.

after Sumter was fired upon, as a
private, and remained in the war until
the last gun was fired, and came home
brlgadier-general, was a member of
the assembly again, and that was his
last term in the Legislature.
[ never think of the TWenty-third
Wisconsin regiment without recalling
both Gen. Hobart and Gen. Joshua j.
Guppey, who was colonel Of the
Twentv-third.
The Legislature that year, 1867, elected
a United States senator. The Repub-
liCans without a caucus voted unanim-
ouslY for the reelection of the late
Timothy O. Howe, who served eighteen
years and finished long term of service

the cabinet of President Arthur.
The regular Democratic candidate for
the Senate was the late eX-Congressman
Charles A. Eldredge Of Fond hu Lac,
whose first election to Congress was in
1862. and was followed by five other
elections. In 1862 he defeated Lieut..
Col. Edward S. Bragg, who had been
nominated without his knowledge or
consent by what was known as the
Union Republican party while he was
in the army.

the last of August, 1862, at Camp
Randall, leaving there for Cincinnati
two weeks later. 1t reached Memphis
in time to participate in Sherman's
unsuccessful movement on Vicksburg
III December, 1862, and was active in
the destruction Of railroads then of
great service to the enemy. It's first
sharp fight WAS at Arkansas Post IN
January, 1868, where 1t acquitted itself
so heroically that the brigade and
division commanders gave it high praise.
When the Twenty-third was formed
and just ready to make charge, after
being under fire for a long time, the
enemy hoisted a white flag and the
garrison was surrendered At this
battle six were killed and thirty-one
wounded. That whole winter was an
active one with the Twenty-third. 1t
was sent on numerous raids for one
purpose or another.
