Harvey T. Cox: "Our party of four
brought home eight deer from the hunt
ing grounds of Taylor county. We
were twenty-seven miles from nowhere,
and we were free from the terror Of
lead from other than our own guns.
Besides being fortunate in securing all
tine deer allowed US by law, we enjoyed
4 81 lendid month of camp life, each
mem )er of our party gaining in flesh
and health. | was unfortunate in the
loss of good driving mare, one of my
team being so badly injured that was
obliged to purchase an animal to drive
home with, and can tell you that it is
almost impossible to buy any kind of
horse in northern Wisconsin. -

John S. Jenness, Cashton: "It seems
good to get back to Viroqua if only for
a day, with the OH friends, where |
lived with my family for number of
years. We are contented people of
Cashton, but we like to visit, all of us,
the thriving city of Viroqua and her
people. Cashton has been doing well
the past year, but we are out of sorts
because of the prospect that our new
tobacco warehouse will not be operated
this season. Citizens generally feel
that the American people, who have
the house rented for a series of years,
are not treating the town as they
should"
