Pastor Harriss of the M. E.

any more yarns about the hunt
this year. The rabbits have
heard that Scott is coming and
will be present in large numbers
to play tag with him.
The Skanse Brothers who are
in business at Minneapolis, send
the Courier a very neat calendar
for 1906. It has the picture of
the three boys on it-Peter, Mat
and Oluf, and they all lookas ma
tural as life and they are pretty
good looking fellows, anyhow.
Here's hoping that the Skanse
Brothers will more than double
their business the coming year.

Theo. Thompson denies that
he and his girl had to walk eight
miles coming home from a we'd
ding last week and says it was
only a little over seven miles and
a half. He and his little brother
AIDE and their ladies went out to
this wedding in sleigh, and the
driver-which was Theo.-got
ratified, tried to drive over a big
ditch and tipped the rig over,
and dumped the ladies out onto
the cold, cold, ground, and they
say that the team ran away. We
don't know anything about it so
ask the boys themselves they
will be delighted to tell all about
it.

A local minister recently
preached a sermon on debt pay
ing and at the conclusion of his
discourse asked all those who
we're trying to pay their debts to
stand up. Everybody in the
church but one man arose. The
minister asked those who had
stood up to be seated, then turn
ing to the apparent black sheep
in the flock said my friend how
is it that you are not doing the
same as those friends and neigh
bors?" II am the editor and
those who have stood up are my
subscribers, (" replied the lone
some one. The minister reliev.
ed the tension by saying "let US
pray" and the EDITORS Amen
rang out loud and clear above
them all. Gentle reader, if you
owe your editor anything now is
the time to make good at the
dawn of this glad new year. It
is a good time to subscribe for
some of your friends and is bet
ter than getting q letter from
home. Try it.

EDWARD WORKMAN.

Adnuluaf LOT MEMBER OF Assembly
According to reports published in
the daily papers yesterday, Gov. Da-
wilson has appointed Edward Nord-
man of Polar, Langlade County as a
member of the State Board of Agricul-
trict succeeding A. Emmerich of Mar
athon County. The state board is com
posed of two members at large and one
from each congressional district, APP
pointed for three years. This board
have charge of the State Fair. They
are paid expenses but receiving no 9TH
es compensation.
The appointment of Mr.. Nordman is
a most fitting one from every stand
point. He is one of the most progress
i've farmers in the state and has made
q thorough study of the agricultural
problem. Mr.. Nordman is a pioneer of
Langlade County here some
twenty years ago as district school
teacher. He has now some five hun
bred acres of land located on beautiful
Muller's Lake and is transforming it
into a model farm.
Mr.. Nordman was for several terms
County Superintendent of Schools
good and faithful officer. He served
one term as supervisor Of Assessment
of Langlade County and we venture to
say no country has ever had more
faithful and intelligent supervisor.
With infinite plans he equalized the
valuation of the county, leaving a firm
basis for the work of his successors
For number of years he has been
farmers institute conductor. He has
also served several times as member
of the county board. Ed. desires 10 be
konwn as plain farmer and without
any frills has always performed the
public duties that have, for the most
part, come To him unsolicited, faithful
~ and well. lie will make one Of the
very best members of the State Board.
He has friends almost all over the state
who will congratulate not only Mr..
NOrdman, but Gov. Davidson as well
on this most excellent appointment ~

as courteous as mixed blood, equitable

TO make us? Do we not sometimes CON
found issues, confuse Observation-Disclosures
with politeness, and believe that. be-
cause good-breeding comes from the
heart, all good-hearted people are con
sequently well-bred? Yet there are

are seldom or ever polite 10 them. DR..

tradiction was the guiding principle of
his talk. II is guiding principle with
people Of much intelligence to-day. and
il gives 10 conversation a rough acerbi-
ty, destructive alike Of pleasure and
persuasiveness II is supposed TO be a
masculine preogative, but, like other
masculine preogatives, has been usurp-
ed by an advance guard Of women. -

Died Sunday Morning with Pneumonia
Only Sick Few DAYS.

Rev Perry A. Reno, pastor of the
First M. E. church of Sharon, formerly
pastor of the Reynoldsville M. E.
church, died at the parsonage in Sharon
Sunday morning, March 4, 1906, after a
brief illness with pneumonia. Rev.
Reno had bad case of grip, and pneu-
monia followed. No one in Reynolds
vile knew that he was seriously i'll,
and telegram from Sharon Sunday
evening, to editor of THE STAR, an
nouncing his death was surprise and
shock to Rev. Reno's many friends
here. His death was announced in the
various churches in town Sunday
evening
Rev. Reno was born at Clarksburg,
Mercer Co., Pa, within five miles OF
Sharon, September 10, 1862, and was in

having been moved from Reynoldsvlle
to Sharon in the fall of 1904.
Rev. Reno was pastor of the Reyn.

credit is due to him for the fine stone

being built in this place. Rev. Reno
talked new church long before he got
the trustees to his way of thinking
During his last year here Rev. Reno
solicited and got subscriptions for some
thing like $4,000 toward building the
new church.

devoted husband and father. He was 6
Jealous and hard working minister o.
the gospel. He took great interest
in the young people Of his church, ant
there are some young men holding goot
positions to-day because Rev. Reno en-
couraged them and urged them to higt
ambitions in life.

contributed money to fund to buy {
beautiful floral piece to send as toker
of their love and esteem for Rev. Reno
