exercises at that church in commem-
Grafton of WaShingtan's birthday,
The church parlOr was tastefully
decorated with flags and bunting and
the little "cherry tree was not left
out. A large number were present to
listen to an impromptu program
suitable for the occasion, and to join
in an informal, good time. The
ladies of the society were costumed
to represent colonial DANES which
added to the attractiveness Of the
occasion. Light refreshments were
served and each one attending was
presented with suitable little
souyenlr,-a miniature hatchet with
a bunch of cherries in water color.
Everyone enjoyed the evening very
much,

WOOD COUNTY JUDGE

We had forgotten that the citizens
of Wood county would be called upon
at this spring election to elect
county judge. The present occupant
of that office is w. j. Conway, who
was first elected In the spring of 1901,
and who is just completing his first
term. He has been a pains taking
and efficient official and we believe has
given general satisfaction. He will
be candidate for reelection.
Whether he will haye opposition we
have been unable to learn. His
nomination paper is being circulated
and literally signed by citizens of
Grand Rapids and surrounding
country.

I have just received notification of
an assignment at Spokane where they
pay better salaries. The Board of
Education here, did not wish to
release me, so they promised to hold
over the position there for me until
the end OF the semester. 1t is thought
the salaries will be increased here
for next year and if so L shall remain
here as the climate is much more
preferable, that of Spokane being
nearly like Wisconsin.
After reading about the severe
