FrOelich. The former handles every
thing in the line of staple and fancy,
groceries and cOttagers can manage to
live high on that which they can pur-
chase at this weIl-conducted store Mr..
Smith also keeps milk and cream which
he has shipped up every other day from
the Marathon County Dairy Co.'s plant
at Wausau, thus assuring all of the best
pasteurized products. Besides the
stores, several cottages have been
built by those who are in the employ of
the Blue Grass Land Co., in clearing
land, etc. This makes the nucleus for
quite a village. Sayner station is about

depths are fish galore and millions of
fry are being added each year from
the hatcherieS. This, with the various
thoroughfares which connect the vari-
Gus lakes, will make it at all times a
delight for sportsmen. If one wants to
get fish in quantity, and large ones at
that all he has to do is to take tent,
blanket and fishing tackle, and seek
one of the many lakes within a mile or
two of Plum and he can be satisfied to
the fullest extent. if he puts in a full
day at fishing

man who had kept count, says that he
has seen not less than thirty deer dur

is against the law to kill these animals
only during the month of November,
they roam about at will and the stroller
is liable to spy one at most any time.
SpOrtsmen assure us that at certain times
during the year duck hunting is great
sport, that at the various rice lakes,
ducks congregate in great numbers
Berries grow wild and in plenty up here
In June and July comes the straw
