He must be a person of small
capacity to observe who has failed
to note the new beauty that autumn
gives to Lancaster, town pretty at
all seasons of the year and framed
now in a fringe of gold surprising
in loneliness even the glad green
colOrs of summertime.
New companies are likely to be
added to the Wisconsin National
Guard sometime during the coming
year and several cities have already
.started,mOyements to organize COM
panies and endeavor TO secure
official orders for the honor of
having a company which belongs
to the guard. If such is the case it
wouldn't be a bad. idea for Lancas-
+er to get in line.
The farmers of Grant county
will jingle shekels in their pockets
this fall. They have the stuff to
exchange for the coin and it will
bring a good price. There is moth
ing in the shape of famine around
this neck of the wOods-not a bit
it. The average Grant county
farmer can stack up by the side of
any farmer on earth with crops,
coin, good health, contented wives,
fair daughters and stalwart sons.
As a rule, editors look on the
bright side of things. An example
of this is shown by an editor in
another state, who in recent issue
says: I'VE desire to thank that
generous hearted subscriber who
left that one hundred pound pump
kin on our doorstep. Now if some
more of our subscribers will kindly
bring us a pail of lard, a cord of |
wood and sack of flour, we will
try and obtain the salt, spice and |
water, and will make such a batch |
of pies as will keep the wolf away |
from the door until spring"
Epidemic among horses? This
may sound funny but nevertheless
it is true. According to veterinarl-
ans large number of horses are |
afflicted with colds, due largely to |
the sudden change in the weather. |
So far no animal has succumbed but |
several serious cases have been re-
ported to veterinarians. There are
many cases of coughs and colds |
among horses in this vicinity. The
sudden change in the weather is !
the prime cause of the sickness.
During the day the animals are
subjected to sweating and at night |
it is generally cold. Some cases
develop into pneumonia. In many
cases the colds are accompanied by |
fever.
Governor Davidson, at the
request of Governor A. B. Cum
Minis, of Iowa, has appointed dele

the constitution providing for the
election of United States senators
