at the regular term of circuit court
for Richland county, in session at
Richland Center.

Farmers are late this season in
getting to work in their fields, but a
small number of them having as yet
made beginning. But they are not
worrying any. They say there is
Just about so much cold weather each
year and if it don't come one month
it will another. While March was a
backward month and April to date
but a slight improvement, they look
for good weather from now on.
The adjourned term of Circuit
court last week occupied but few
days. The most important cases on
the docket were actions for divorce

In the BOnham matter-really very
interesting case, no decision has as
yet been made by the court. Judge
Clementson will file an order within
few days announcing the ultima
tum, and it is likely that about May
1st a second adjourned term will be
held for the completion Of business.
We crave the kind indulgence of
our readers tonight if this issue of
the Herald possesses many noticeable
shortcomings. Brief acquaintance
ship is a poor qualification for a
news gatherer. Our correspondents
throughout the county contribute a
generous supply of interesting mis-
cellany from their respective local
tiles, for which they have our thanks.
We trust all viii continue the good
work The latch string to the
Herald. abode hangs on the outside.
Come up, lets get acquainted.
Every young woman who be-
comes wife at eighteen to twenty
five years of age has right to expect
forty years house keeping. For 965
days every year, three times day,
there ale hungry stomachs to be
filled and capricious ralates to be
gratified. The blushing bride at the
altar has before her the practical
proposition of preparing 10000 meals.
Add to this the bearing and bringing
up of children, the varied duties of
the household, the demands of society
such as she may meet, and it is easy
to see that the ''bride elect" has a
herculanean task with no chance of
going on a strike.

to be determined.
