phases of the question whion we're
never dreamed of by many of those
present. 1t was decided that the next
regular meeting of the club shall be
an open one and that the same be held

A head of cabbage, weighing twenty
pounds, was presented to this office
Friday morning by Delisle Bros, of the
town of Weston. 1t was about fifteen
inches across the top and solid in fibre.
These gentlemen also brought to town
that day citron weighing twenty-five
pounds. 1t was as large as an ordinary
sized water melon. Last week we men
toned the fact that S. +. House, of
Unity, had raised a cabbage weighing
sixteen pounds, which was thought
large one, but the one above mentioned
and raised closer to home, discounts it.
Last week Herman Habeck, of the
town of Bern brought to Athens num-
Der of potatoes the largest of which
weighed two and and one-half pounds.
We would not mention these facts but
as further proof of what the people of
this county already know-that Mara
thon is the banner agricultural county
of the state.
At meeting held Sunday evening in
Liederkranz hall the Wausau Dramatic
club was organized and officers elected

The club starts out with fair sized
membership. The object of the club is
to give German operas and plays dur
ing the season in which the cast will be
made up of local talent almost wholly.
There is plenty of talent to select from
and many of our best singers have
handed in their names as members. In
its work the club will be assisted by
G.. Rosenbaum, who came here lately
from Philips, and who,ha had much
experience in organizations of this kind.
AS yet no arrangements have been
made for an opera or play of any kind,
but this will come after the club is
more fully organized. Another meet
ing will he held later, when some plans
may he formed for giving an entertain
ment.
