There will be complimentary dance
rendered by the young ladies to the
gentlemen at the Armory Wednesday
evening, January 20. Those having the
matter in charge are endeavoring to
make it one of the most enjoyable occa-
sions of the winter, and judging from
similar efforts in the past they will be
successful. The Armory will be decorated
for the occasion and the gallery will be
open for spectators.
This has been an easy winter thus
far for railroad men in this section. If
"winter" sets in anywhere, it generally
strikes the st. and L. C.road. But this
season the snowplow has been run to
Swanton only once; to Hardwick as
aften; and but two or three times "up
Victory way" What may happen be-
tween this and April it isn't easy to
guess, but the railroad men appreciate
the absence of blzzards thus far this
winter.
