The Lancaster school ma'ams
while in Platteyille enjoyed the hos
pitality of the Columbia hotel. Mr..

makes his guests feel that he has 4
personal friendly feeling in their well

The editor OF the Herald had the
pleasure of a brief visit to Platteville
last week and enjoyed visiting old
friends, among which is the normal
school-one OF the most cherished
friends of all. Platteville is improy-
ing constantly. The new Bayley
block is justly the pride of the city.
Its offices and store rooms surpass in
beauty and richness of finish and com

this part of the state. We also had
the pleasure OF inspecting the new
Journal office which is furnished with
a complete outfit OF modern machinery
and furnishings for news, job and
book binding office.
