A Romantic wedding TrIp

hOmaruc wedding Tip
About the hour of noon Sunday, Jas.
Nj. Smith, who resides two miles west
of the city, and whose life is somewhat
colored with romantic incidents, spied q
team and sleigh, containing gentleman
and two ladies, making heroic efforts
to penetrate the huge drifts of snow out
in his field. He courteously assisted
the travellers, who, by way Of explana-
tion for being out in such inclement
weather, stated they had urgent bust
ness in Viroqua-an engagement that
couldn't be broken. Mr.. Smith admon-
ished them it would be impossible to
go through, but the anxious young man
persistently declared it imperative they
should do SO. Having had the FORE
thought to provide himself with a shovel,
he Immediately commenced throwing
"the beautiful" around in such q man.
ner that Mr.. Smith had to take protec-
tion behind some of the higher banks
the brave hero could not overcome. AZ
ter realizing his physical nature could
not possibly last in such laborious effort,
the dstermined-tc- get-married gentle
man finally "threw up the spougue. just
as he had arrived in front of Martin
Rott's place, and confessed to his solici
tous friends, Messrs. Smith and Rott
the fact that he had very pressing en-
agement with Rev. Coram, of Viroqua,,
who was to tie the matrimonial knot for
himself and lady in the sleigh. Mr..
Smith and his friend, after some time
elapsed, finally caught on" and with
alacrity determined TO make the anxious
and pleasant people happy and satisfied
by helping them out of their difficult
ties. After partakingot Mr.. Rott's hos
pitality and good dinner, that gentle
man hooked up his team and conveye d
them down to the romantic and prett ,
town OF Springville, where Rev. Peck :
ham tied the connubial knot. He drov e
back with them to Mr.. Smiths. who en-
Gertained them nicely during the even

Vacation begins March 7, to continue
one week. Examination next week.

in few weeks.
A large number of the pupils of the
high school attended the teachers meet
ing Saturday.
The pupils Of the school regret that
this is the last week of Miss Butts SER
vices in the high school. Many Of the
pupils have shown that the work in lit
erary readings has had large measure
OF ethical value, has broadened their
views Of literature, and has given an
added interest to their other work.
The program of the literary society
for Friday night was we'll rendered.
The recitation of Eben Sweger entitled,
THE Charge OF the Light Brigade" de-
serves special mention and commends-
ton. Singing of the pupils of the lower
departments was much enjoyed. Ora
ton aud Rotations of Henry Peterson,
Lydia Woods and Barbara Munson
showed marked improvement over former
efforts. The interest of the evening
centered about the contest for places on
the joint debate with Sparta. The
judges selected were Frank Briggs, Cyrus
Butt and Ray Graves. The decision Of
the judges was in favor of Roy Williams,
Louis Spellum and Robt. Wilkins, with
Knut Alness as alternate. The success

thought and forcible in their expression.

UNCLE BEN.
ny ROB n'LINK,

BY BOB q LINN
He was a friend to young and old,
The law of Christ obeying,-
He guarded we'll his Masters fold,
And kep. the lambs fro'n straying.
He loved to speak OF God the Good;
Ofpeace and self-denial;
OF Christ, the bond Of brothe rhood,
And help In every trial.
He felt the Fatherhood of God,
And held that men were brothers.
a Iowly path the good man trod,
And left dispute to others
He seldom spoke of sovereign grace,
Or dwelt on themes depressing
The lig at of heaven was on his face
And in his smile a blessing.
Dear Uncle Ben!-He's dead and gone
Rrt yhere?-Ah, that's the question:
No answer-WeIl, I'll give you one,
Or rather make suggestions
God has purpose in his BIRTH
Loves secret--can you keep III
He sowed the peace OF love on earth,
And somewhere else he'll reap 1t.
He lies, yor say, in wonder grave,
His spirit none discerning
All, He who sent him here can save
And answer life's sad yeaTning
Ware better far for such as he
Forget his Iifel NJ, never:
II Love hath immortality,
Then he viii live forever.

pecially if that degree of intelligence
and care are exercised that ought to be
to secure the best results, lis an item OF
great Importance and value. Then no
farmer can keep COWS without learning
to be a better farmer unless he be the

A LIVELY CHASE FOR THE WEED.

The Growing Districts Have Been In
Tested by Tobacco Buyers. Anxious TO
Gobble Up the Filthy Stuff-No Persist
emit push in ernon County.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter re-
ports unprecedented activity in the to-
bacco market of that section. There
has been no tumbling over each other
by buyers in this county. Three or
four outside buyers were riding during
the week, and their principal aim seemed
to be to pick up low grade tobacco, of
which, we are advised, they purchased
considerable. Nels Solverson, repre-
senting Suffer Brothers, OF Philadel-
phia, purchased several good crops.
The local buyers also took many hold
ings. Deliveries at the warehouses
were quite brisk. For information of
Vernon county growers, we append the
following from the Reporter:
"No animal that roams the country
or eats hay is 80 easily stampeded as the
average tobacco buyer-this is fact
that can be demonstrated to certainty.
Who would have suspected a few weeks
ago that half hundred tobacco deal
ers would now be found chasing each
other over the growing districts, raising
one another on prices and contracting
for large acreage without examining the
merits of the tobacco? Whenever pace
has been set there is no telling what G
stampede can be created among lot Of
hypnotized tobacco buyers. Ridiculous
as the spectacle is, it is the grower who
is best entitled to stand back and lsugt
at the performance. He is the bene
ficiary. When the buyers are in hot
chase after tobacco, then is the time
when the farmer is master OF the situa
tion and able to dictate the prices whic
are always larger when competition ii
brisk. A dealer confidently informs us
that he believes 10000 cases we're sole
during the rush last week. One buyer
in this market is credited with having
nineteen agents in the field doing thei
level best to buy more tobacco than thu
| other fellow. Prices remain about al
heretofore. Fine selection, six cents TO
wrapper and binder grades, seems abou
the limit, while the export grades are
selling freely at about four cents under
Vastly more tobacco has been sold I'm
der five cents than over that figure
| Our list of sales this week aggregate
more than 1000 acres, representing 5000
cases, and at best we can give but {
fraction of the transactions that have
occurred. Probably more than one-hal
Of the crop has been contracted for
The limit for warehouse handling woulc
