All those interested in the education
of the boys and girls of Grand Rapids
today the men and women of this
city tomorrow-have special reasons
to be thankful. 1t is a source of
gratitude that the people of this city
realize more fully than those of most
cities in Wisconsin the value of an
education. The evidences of this are
on every hand. They consist in the
generous support which makes it
possible to secure as teachers those
VINO have had training in some of the
best Normal schools and Universities
in this country-and who also have
had the experience in the work, which
has demonstrated their ability to
successfully perform the high duties
of teachers. They consist in the
modern and we'll equipped school
buildings. They consist further in
the fact, that the support is suf-
ficiently generous 10 enable the
schools of this city to offer to the
pupils in this city-nCt only the old
time training in the studies of our
fathers-but also training in several
CT the new lines which are now
recognized as necessary part of
modern ducation-music, drawing
manual training.
We are especially grateful to the
Women's clubs of this city for the
generous support aud for the initia-
tive which has made the last named
department of work possible here. 1t
is well within the truth to say, in a
spirit of profound gratitude, that but
very few schools in this state have as
complete a course in this work from
the kindergarten to the high school
we have in this city.
We are grateful too for the spirit
that would add those things which
may now be lacking at the earliest
possible opportunity.
Finally it should be source of
gratitude to every citizen-that all
these things are offered free to the
children of the rich and poor alike.
Fl. S. YOUKER,
Superintendent of city schools.
For the confidence shown, of the
liberal patronage given uG, we have

of the coming year, the REPORTER is
in better health than ever before. 1t
is now semi-weekly and as the years
go by it expects TO watch with much
pride the growth of Grand Rapids.
The REPORTER has never enjoyed a
better patronage. Forty-seven years
is long time, but when forty-seven
more milestones have been passed, we
trust the REPORTER will still be
visiting the homes of the people of
Grand Rapids and of Wood county.
The REPORTER is thankful for the
place it occupies in the hearts of its
readers.
/ am especially thankful for the
general prosperity OF our country and
locality; for goou health and the
fine Clientele that have in and about
our city. j. w. ROCKWELL.
Our genial and accommodating
assistant postmaster, w. B. Raymond
says, he would be truly thankful if
the postof1ice inspector could regulate
his trips to about once in two years as
on his last trip he left about two
years work for the future.
H. G. McCann is thankful to the
public for it's very liberal patronage
of the past year, as success in business
means to have the support aud good
will of the public at large.
Thankful for the good health and
prosperity Of our country, for the
prospect of a President which has
been elected from people at large
and not by click or clan; that the boys
that went out hazing did not get shot;
that we do not have to buy tooth
picks to get the vension out of our
teeth. The scarcity of deer means
more game wardens to protect the
few left.
S. A. STAFFORD.
Why am L thankful! For more
reasons than / can tell. But among
them are abundant harvests, settled
political conditions, and general

gratitude fer the beautiful fall

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
George Brown OF Milladore,
Severely Iniured-His Arm
Mutilated by a Charge of
BuckSh0t.

AS George Brown of Milladore was
on his way to the hunting grounds
about 7:30 Monday morning he met
with an accident that nearly costs
him his life, and may result in
permanent injury to his left haud and
arm. He was carrying shotgun
loaded with buck-shot when he slip
ped and fell to the frozen ground.
One barrel of the gun was discharged
by the fall and the recoil threw the
gun out of Browns hand and into
such position that when the second
barrel was discharged the buckshot
struck the man in the side.
Browns hand was badly lacerated
and he received several shot in the
arm and shoulder. He was able to
get help at once and was brought to
this city and placed under DR.. Lath-
rOp's treatment at the hospital.
While the injuries are very painful it
is probable that the injured mao will
fully recover in short time.
Mr.. Brown was accompanied here
by Henry Vanderheuvel who was
with him when he was shot. The
accident occurred in the town Of Eau
Pleine about six miles north Of
MilladOre.
Milladore is not Mr.. Browns per-
manent home, He came there about
year ago and is employed by
Vanderheuvel Brothers ia their log
ging camp. near which he sustained
his injuries. He is single man and
formerly resided at New Lisbon
Marshfield Times.

The Reporter is Thankful.

For profits, for circulationS, for the
loyalty and energy with which it is
served by its employees. These
things are important. They are close
to thriving county paper. But there
is something more and bigger. No
newspaper can long succeed that does
not build up a circle of friends.
People who believe in it's principles,
swear by its honesty, glory in its
independence, rejoice because of its
aggressiveness and enterprise. Yes,
the REPORTER is thankful for it's 4Sth
birthday. The REPORTER has gone
forward steadily; there is more than
one subscriber today who in the past
Al or 4S years can testify that we have
done our work pot only for our own
interests, but for the interests of
others.
What we have said in the columns
of the REPORTER we believed are
right. We have made mistakes and
were willing to correct them, we have
endeavored to encourage a spirit of
confidence between ourselves and
our readers. We want them to feel
that we are working for the best
interests of the community.
Forty-seven years and all the time
working for the interests Of Grand
Rapids. The first editor outlined the
policy of the paper as set forth and
expressed by the Chicago convention
which first nominated Abraham
Lincoln.
1t is not for the present editor to
say just how well the REPORTER has
lived up to the policy outlined by it's
first editor. yet we believe that in
the main, the paper has clung to it's
first ideals. There have doubtless been
stormy times in the forty-seven years
and we believe that with the opening
