ably the most unique of anything being
put out in this line.
Frederick w. Spencer of New York
has been visiting at the homestead and
old time friends here this week. Mr..

mines and the opportunities will be
found on another page of this paper,
which makes mighty interesting reading.
The 4lst anniversary of J. P. Coon's
birthday was the occasion of pleasant
gathering at his home Tuesday evening.

and in few choicely chosen words he
referred to the absolute necessity of such
an article in the family on certain occa-
sions and expressed his sincere thanks.

The milk train that leaves GAINESVILLE
at 7:3O each morning for Milwaukee was
caught in wreck just as it was leaving
the depot at GAINESVILLE Wednesday by a
belated North western train and thrown
from the rails The steam arising from
the engines on zero morning prevented
the engineers observing the approach of
either train at the crossing and while
both were running slowly they were un-
able TO stop until the crash came. The
Northwestern engine struck the Milwau-
kee train between the tender and bag
gage car, crushing it and injuring Bag
gageman Jackson slightly. The passen-
gers were considerably shaken up but,
nobody was hurt. Fortunately the dam
age was confined to the rolling stock.
