No matter what time of day or night, the

the best known and oldest retail grocery

"When we first opened the Jefferson Avenue

Dear Mrs. Babcock-Please receive
and communicate greatful remembran-
ces to all our old settler friends, as
we'll as our sympathies to the sad and
bereaved | have taken a brief inven-
tory of my mental resources and am
therefore sure that it is far wiser for me
and better for your anticipated jubilee
of old settlers that | make no attempt
at answering your solicitations. At the
same time | will say:
That when I think of the boon, which Dame
nature has spread,
With the hand of proiusion on our wandering
heads,
OF love in return for meet of the same
A lingering remembrance that friends do claim
l am led to rejoice of a truth from my heart
When with the dearest of friends do part.
For then it were pleasant in memories shrine,
From the store of my friendship to transfer
line,
But who are the dear ones who claim from my
hand,
A tribute more magic than kings can command
Who else but "old settlers" those dear to our
hearts,
Should receive the best wishes friend can inn
part,
That God in his goodness will keep and con-
troll,
Is the most devout wish of my inmost soul.

OLD SETTLERS,
Meet in Eighth Annual Re-Union at
Central House, Feb. 3, 1898. ~
ONE HUNDRED FIFTY PREsEN

For this occasion the Central House
was made more bright and cheerful
than ever before, If such was possible,
in honor of the pioneers of Wood county,
who had weathered the storms and en-
cured the hardships of those early days
A large number who had resided here
twenty years and were thirty years of
age and over responded to the public
invitation which had been extended
through the newspapers. The list we
append will be of interest to all old set
tiers who were unable to be present,
as follows:
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1898-02-10

A perusal of the list by those who
were not present and are numbered
among the pioneers will be impressed
with the fact that many are absent and
will never again respond to the roll call.
They naye gone on before to that land
to which we are all journeying. These
reunions are most enjoyable because
they give an opportunity for the old set
tiers to intermingle and exchange the
experiences of bygone days. Each
ones life forms an important link in the
history of this county, any part of which
if missing, would detract from the inter-
esting "reminiscences Of the whole.
At $50 Mr.. F. j. Wood called the as
semblage to order and announced that
the evenings program would open with
singing "Auld Lang Syne" in which all
were invited to join. Hon. Chas. NJ.
Webb then delivered the address Of
welcome. as follows:
ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
l am informed that quite a lengthy
program of exercises has been prepared
for the occasion, shall therefore per-
form my part with becoming brevity.
Those whose efforts have brought about
this meeting, have requested that shall,
IN few appropriate words, bid you vel
come here. By this is meant, suppose,
that l am to assure each one present, in
behalf Of all the others, that his or her
presence here was earnestly desired,
and is gratefully appreciated. This for
NAL assurance of welcome TO each and
all is hardly necessary, but its express
sion was desired, and is hereby accord
ingly made.
On former and similar occasion, and
upon like invitation, l prepared and
| read brief address, giving something
ofthe conditions that existed here when
our county was in its early youth, and
making some reference to the changes
and Improvements which the interven-
ing years have wrought. That address
is, | suppose, part of the literature of
tie Old Settlers association. The ma
terial there recorded need not now be
again stated. If for any future use it
shall be deemed of any value, it will be
within easy reach. If not it will slum-
| ber, with the vast mvriads Of facts and
fragments, important and unimportant,
which have in their day and place,

Chinese Convicts In Columbus Grew Thin
on Regular Diet.
The Chinese in the penitentiary at
Columbus, o., have been suffering from
hunger. They have grown thin and I'M
healthy looking, but no ono could de-
termine what the trouble was. There
are four of the natives of tho Celestial
empire imprisoned there, and but one
of them can speak English, and he does
not speak it intelligently. After max
ing many signs and with the assistance
of his limited vocabulary English,
Sam succeeded In making tho officials
understand the cause of their troubles.
It developed they were actually suffer
ing from hunger-not because they have
not been given an abundance Of food.
but for the fact that it doesn't agree
with them. Rice is what they wanted.
and II they could have only made them
selves understood there is no doubt
that they would have traded several
meals for a pound Of rice. The troublef
of the Chinese finally reached the ears
of Warden Coffin, and Sam Leo, who is
the only one of the four who can speak
English, was called to the warden's
Office for an interview. Sam said they
could not live without rice. After much
questioning it was finally discovered
that Sam wanted three pounds Of rice
for each meal for the four of them. He
was asked about meat and said they
liked some COW, cali, hog or sheep some
times, but never wanted any bread or
butter.
"How about rats?" was asked Of Sam.
"Chinee no eatee rats, replied Sam,
with sober but indignant look on his
face.
Instructions were issued to give each
of the Cinnamon raw rations to consist OF
one pound of sugar and one-eighth pound
of tea weekly. Each day there are to be
given three-quarters of pound OF beef,
pork, veal or mutton, one pound OF po-
tatoes and as much rice as the superin-
tendent of subsistence considers neces-

Priyute Dining Room.

The private dining room is one New
York institution that people from the
country know very little about. 1t would
surprise good many New York people to
know how many houses there are that are
simply story after story of tiny, closetlike
rooms, corresponding to tho cabinet par
ticulier of Paris. In the larger restaurants
and hotels there are plenty of private din
ing rooms for parties, but absolutely none
for gentleman and lady alone. But
there are other places not SO particular.
Some of these restaurants where almost
all the dinners are served I'm private rooms
are eminently respectable. One, rather
far down town, is a sleepy old place, which
is haunt of upper Bohemia. Nothing
could be moro chilly than its bare little
rooms with their mahogany tables, picc
Qlass and four chairs. The dinner is cx

which to indulge it can go there with per

dining lcons are luxuriously furnished
