/ II. 3. Earle loaded car at Evans
Vile Monday with agricultural imple-
ments and horses for Rice Lake. The
car was accompanied by Jake Ressler of
Fulton who will have charge of Mr..
Earle's farm near that city this season.

-Edgerton was given fairly good
write-up by the Madison Journal Mon
day evening, in which it conceded it to
be the tobacco metropolis" of the state
that was paying out about $4,000 per
week to the employment in the tobacco
industry. In reviewing the business
firms Of the town names are considerably
mixed, but the city is given a pretty
good send off.
There seems to be the best of rea-
sons for anticipating something good in
the appearance of the tBeggar Prince"
opera company at Royal Hall next Sat.
urday evening, April 4th. While the plot
OF the play is not complicated it is inter-
esting and amusing and serves to intro
duce capable company in bright songs,
pleasing dances, attractive costumes and
appropriate scenic effects.
AT the republican caucus held in
the city hall last Friday evening the fol-
lowing were named as city committee
for the ensuing year: f. w. Coon, E. M.
Hubbell and R. J. Maltpress. At the
democratic caucus held in the city hall
Saturday evening those named were: T.
A. Ellingson, Christ Hoen and Alfred
Henderson. There was small atten-
dance at each caucus, indicating little
interest in matters political this year.
The Offices of mayor, city treasurer and
assessor are not to be filed this spring,
the present incumbents holding over for
another year. And to this may be as
signed the cause for the lack of interest
which is manifest.
James Mcbride, former resident
of Porter and this city, but now living at
Tomahawk, is down for visit with old
friends this week. Mr. Mcbride recog-
nizes that the death of the late VIM. Ell.
Bradley is serious blow to Tomahawk
and northern Wisconsin, who was spend
ing thousands of dollars annually to de-
velop the resources of that part of the
state. He says the beautiful city which
he created in the pines is, however, max
ing Roadway. There is plenty of good
farming lands in the vicinity for sale
cheap and it is just the place for enter
prising, strong armed young people to
come and build for themselves homes.
AS the lumber is cut away the settlers
are fast filling in and building up the
country.
Mr.. Chas L. Culton is arranging to
cut quite large amount of hard wood
timber this season on the Virginia plan
tation which he bought few months
ago. The tract is located on the James
river, 40 miles west of Richmond, Rock
Castle being the name of the station on
the G. & 0. R'y. There is about 400
acres under cultivation on the planta-
ton, the balance being timber, white oak
and pine. 1t is estimated that there is
at least four million feet of white oak
timber on the tract consisting largely of
second growth trees two feet or more in
size, making splendid wagon stock for
which there is good market. Mr.. John
j. Culton has been in Virginia for the
past month looking after the property
and Monday next Frank Horton will
accompany car load of mules from
Chicago which Mr.. Culton has pur-
chased for use on the farm and in the
lumber camp.
