The r. N. A. entertainment given
last Wednesday night at the M. w. A.
hall was largely attended. The sun
bonnet drill was a very interesting
feature of the entertainment. The re-
ceipts were quite large and all report
very enjoyable time.
The mill is again running full blast
and Walter Carey makes typical
"dusty old Miller After again seeing
the amount of business brought to our
little village by mill we cannot help
but wonder how we got along without
one so long. There is no better power
in the country and Wi1mot is bound to
be a good milling point as long as
there is grain to grind. Bear in mind
that you can~exchange wheat for flour,
that they grind graham, corn meal,
buckwheat flour and feed. Give them
trial.
The dancing season is here. The
Wi1mot Prosperity Club has been or
ganized and will give a series of
dancing parties at the M. w. A. hall
this coming winter. The boys will
spare no means to make these parties
the most enjoyable and entertaining
in this vicinity. The second dance
by this club will be given Friday
night, Dec. IA. Music will be furnish
ed by Prof. Graf of Kenosha. Tickets
SO cents. Supper so cents per couple.
Everybody invited to attend.

A prominent farmer in this locality
has just completed an extension to his
cattle barn. The amended structure
presents the '11OSl Unique OWS1lluS
place for stock to be found in the state.
The main building, which is about
Skis was built some time during the
administration of Andrew Jackson.
About twenty years ago it began to
slide down hill but was promptly pre-
vented from doing SO by being secure
1y spiked to big bur oak tree. Many
ingenious innovations can be seen
around this barn, one being the con-
venient method of feeding the stock.
They stick their heads through the side
of the building and are fed on the out
side, an attendant standing over them
with a club to see that each animal
gets its share. The barn being some
what narrow and sliding, an animal is
occasionally found in the morning on
it's back with it's feet sticking up. The
facilities for getting out of such diff
culties are excellent: few boards
are removed from the side and the un-
fortunate beast sna1ed out by the tail.
| The proprietor says that such little
accidents tend to make the beasts
more hardy and leaves them to take
care of themselves.
