We have been pleased TO listen to IN
the Pleasant Prairie church. The pro-
gram rendered by the children in the
morning was good, and showed there
hal been great care taken IN their
drilling by those who we're instru
mental in giving to the audience such
a good program. The services in the
evening, conducted by Mrs. Hattie
Fox, we're good, and characteristic OF
the day. They we're much enjoyed 0y
the large attendance present. The
program consisted of readings, solos,
duets, and other music by the choir,

certainly must have surprised them
selves when they found they were once
more h church, and we would suggest
they continue in the good way The

Az the election Tuesday the best
men were elected in every casa
thing which has not been done for some
time-and the voters of Pleasant
| Prairie may thank themselves for the
splendid victory won. 1t was, how
ever, achieved not only by few, but
by the united effort of all voters. The
DOll list ran up to 379, which shows
that every voter must have voted. At
the reading of the report Of the work
( done by the town board great deal Of
ldispleasure was shown and not little
" kicking" done. The thistle com
miasioners' fees were entirely thrown
out and not accepted by the voters.
The gross injustice done the taxpayers
by the outgoing board was evidenced
bv the report which was read of the
expenditures during the past term.
The " kick" was not on the amount
spent, but on the manner in which it
was spent. We hope for better and
Clear or work of the town board this
term, and think we will not be dis
appointed.
