company are not definitely known,
still it is known that attorney Tom
kins has been here from Ashland
looking over town affairs, and it will
not be surprising should the com
patty refuse to pay. Other large
tax payers are also said to be look
ing up matters, with view to con-
testing the payment of their taxes.
Rev. Ell. Peterson was down from
Duluth during the week, looking
after business matters. Mr.. Peter
son is in the grocery business at
Duluth, and it is not altogether con-
genial to him. He may return to
the ministry, as he has decided that
after all, it is more to his liking.
The grocery store at Duluth is doing
a very satisfactory business, &C;
cOrding to Mr.. Peterson and Thos.
Jensen, who is associated with Mr..
Peterson is well pleased with things.
Mr.. Peterson did not say what his
intentions were, but tits not unlike
~ that should he return to the
Ministry, that he may again become
a resident of Washburn.
Miss Armada Kidder, who is well
known to the people of Washb lrn
will give an entertainment here on
FEBRUARY, IL, under the auspices of
the ladies of the Congregational
Church. Those VINO heard Miss
Kidder last year will be anxious to
listen to her again, and it is ex-
pected that the evening given her
will be one of the most popular in
the course. Ia addition to the date
given Miss Kidder, it is expected
that the ladies will likely give con-
cert about the fifteenth of January.
Mr.. High will be here about the
fifteenth of March to fill one of the
evenings which the ladies have in
cluded in the course.
Mr.. L. M. Dickerson, who has
been agent for the Omaha railroad
here for the past three years, has
been promoted to the position oil
local freight agent for the compan y
at Sioux City, Iowa, city of 3d.
900 people,, and left Sunday for his
new field of labor. Mrs. Dickerson
will follow him as soon as possible.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dickerson have lived
in Washburn and Bayfield, for a
large number of years, and it is safe
to save that very few people could
leave here that would be more missed.
They have always taken prominent
and active interest in social matters,
where they have been leaders. In
his work as agent here MIR. DECKER.
son has always been popular with
the business. element, and with
others with whom be has been con-
stantly in contact. The dock inter
ests and other large holdings of the
Omaha company here require that
the agent be what might be termed a
'frst-class' man. and that Mr..
Dickerson has proven that he is
such is amply sustained by the fact
that the company has given him a
very substantial promotion. In
every walk of life he is a gentlemen,
and while Missionaries regret very
much the departure of he and his
estimable wife, still they are pleased
to know that he is on the road to
advancement, and it will not be
many years before we shall expect
to See Mr.. Dlckerson clear up at the
top in railroad circles.

berg, the mother, also by Mrs. John
Gustaf, of Ashland, all of whom

Mr.. Nels Tweedt, of this city, was
in Chippewa Falls, at the time of
