before the construction of the stone
walls will be begun
Mrs. Jessie Sipes and children are
now residents of Wausau having
moved here recently from Hazelhurst
Mr. Sipes win continue in his position
with the Yawkey Lumber Co. at Hazel
hurst and make visits to his family as
he can.
The advantage of having the numer-
Gus macadamized streets, so many of
which were constructed this season,
has been made apparent the past week.
Where vehicles sank six inches in mud
on the old dirt streets they could he
drawn high and dry on those of crushed
rock.
DR.. H. A. Frost, w. B. Philbrick and
son, VIII Philbrick, have associated

While at work with the road roller at
the corner of Fourth and Jefferson
streets Friday afternoon, the same was
driven into the gutter near the Phil
brick restaurant and got stuck. The
previous rains had soaked the ground
up so that the massive piece of machin-
cry sank to a great depth 1t was
nearly midnight before it was extri-
Gated

With the setting of the sun Friday
evening marked the beginning of the
Jewish new year This month is called
Tishi and the lst and 10th days are ones
of repentance and reformation and
have only religious names. These two
days are the only ones of the whole
year that are strictly observed by the
least reckless Israelite The new year
just ushered in is numbered 5Gd2 on the
Hebrew calendar,
On Sunday evening the attraction at
the opera house was Lincoln Carter's
Fast Mail" This play is said to be a
very creditable one, and like all of Car
ter's plays draws large houses, the
Grand being packed like a can of an-
chovies. 1t is also like the rest of his
plays, abounding in scenery, red lights,
mechanical effects, etc, to please the
eye, with very little room for what
would justly be considered first class
acting.
AT Valley Forge" was the attraction
at the Opera House Saturday evening,
and was presented to a fairly large
audience As its name indicates, it
dealt with events of passing import
ance at the time of the war of the
American revolution. While the play
was fairly good, yet it was not of the
merit of Toll Gate Inn' or Nathan
Hale" Some things brought out in
the story looked preposterous, and the
cast was not particularly strong one,
Sheriff August Marquardt has added
another fine specimen to his already
large herd of blooded stock on his farm
on the hill on the west side. Last week
while at the state fair he purchased a
registered Shropshire ram, three years
old, and as fine an animal of that
species as one seldom sees, the price
paid being $50 The animal took second
premium at the state fair. August de-
lights in raising blooded stock ard
expects in a short time to have as fine
herds as are to be found in this eection
The drouth has been broken at last
ald it came none too soon. The
ground had been baked up for con-
siderable depth and the streams were
drying up and many in the farming
section depending on wells for their
supply of water, have experienced
much difficulty of late in getting a sup
ply sufficient to meet the demand.
In many places the grass had become
dried up and had the dry spell contin-
ned much longer much distress would
have been felt. On Monday, a week
ago, rain fell which continued at in
teryals through the day. This merely
soaked mp the top dirt and prepared
the way for the deluge chat followed on
Wednesday and Thursday, aud at other
