The stupidity of some newspapers
in stirring up strife in the pleasant lit
tie town of Sitter over the Fache

Rev. R. Pengilly OF Bloomington
preached two able sermons Sunday
morning and evening in the Metho-
dist church in Lancaster. The gentle
man was formerly located in this city
and on Sunday multitude OF admir-
ers gathered to hear their old pastor

the north side and an elevation will
be built SO that the scraper can be
, run into the main building.

of Archbishop Katzer who admins
tered the sacrament of confirmation
to about 200 persons. There was a
large attendance of people from neigh
boring towns. Rev. Father Pape, of
Potosi, and Rev. Father Kramer, of
Prairie du Chen, were present and

the poetic mind; the young people
who participated will never forget
the day.
Lake Mills Leader: Mr.. and Mrs
William Joeckel have taken their de-
parture from our midst to make their
residence in Lancaster where Mr..
Joeckel will be in charge of Joeckel
Bros clothing business. 1t is not
pleasant to lose such good citizens
from our midst whose acquaintance
has been so long enjoyed. but the
necessities of the firms growing
business calls them to the new field
} where Mr.. Joeckel's business capacity
and energy are to be exercised, and
the good will of their many friends
will follow them, and the hope that

J live in the hearts of our citizens. and
the citizens of Lancaster are to be
congratulated on this new acquisition
to their business and social circles.
