Mother, dear mother, come home
with me now,

You said you were coming right home
from the club
As soon as you'd lost all your mum.
Dear Bonnie is sick and poor father is
wild,
AS he sits by the fire in despair
Mother, dear mother, come home with
me, please,
If for husband and children you care.
Mother, dear mother, come home with
me now,
The clock in the steeple strikes two!
The cook is disgusted with fathers re-
marks
That he utters while waiting for you.
At ten you were coming, at twelve you
came not,
And now the last car has gone by.
If bridge whist keeps on in our family
I fear,
Well all want to 60 off and die!
Mother, dear mother, come home with
me now,
The clock in the -steeple strikes
threei
Poor father says home is no longer the
place
That one time he knew it to be.
Dear Susie. and Mabel, and jake. and

Oh, play the last rubber and come with
your child
Who waits for you here in the hall
Mother. dear mother, come home with

This issue of the GRANT COUNTY
HERALD appears on its 64th annual
anniversary of its birth at Lancas-
ter on March 81, 1913, and has lived
a course of usefulness to its many
hundred readers, and advanced the
interests of all citizens and localities
in the county with a measure of sue
cess. That its course for the mary
years past has met with the general
approval is attested by It's still large
and growing clientage, and the
friendly expressions of good will on
every hand. This makes necessary
no promises for change In the Her
AIDS future management, and it
viii continue to pillow along IN the
even tenor of its plain and earnest
way-a respectable, truth-dealing
city and country journal. Be 1t
known. that the HERALD is the old
est continuously published weekly
paper in the state, barring probab ably
the Kenosha Telegraph. 1t has ap-
peared in the biennial list for the
last four years, and will continue so
70 do until the public requirements
demand its enlargement to a daily.

In the Days Of Long Ago.

The territory that now comprises
Grant equity passed with W-scOn-
sin Tor Ousconsin, as it appears on
the early-day maps from hand to
hand in the past several centuries
up to IT'S, when she finally came
into the hands Of the Americans.
She was owned by Spain from 1920
to 1920, by France from 1920 for
century and a half, when j was a
part of New France" with the
present Canadian and American
states contiguous to the st. Law
renee river, the great lakes and
south to the Ohio river. All this
territory fell to the possession of
England from 1868 to IT'S, as is
we'll known. Then thro' develop
ment of the great Northwestern
Territory, and consequent changes
of territorial and state lines, this
county became a part of Illinois
Territory, then Michigan, and last
IL Wisconsin Territory. Grant coun-
ty was sliced off Iowa county in
1886, and the county seat located.
Previous to this time for years
Wisconsin Territory was composed
of Iowa, Milwaukee and Brown
counties.

THE FAIRY WEDDING.

Last night. While I was fast asleep.
There was fairy wedding!
I know it. though I wasn't there:
The very grass we're treading
Is starred and jewelled and see here
The little banquet hall
Beneath the valley lilies!
There was room. you see. for all.
And on, the cOb-web table.
With flower petals spread,
While the tiny Ginning lily-beus
Rang softly over head!
Just see the dandeliOn gold
The bridegrOOm's father gave them
Though can't tell just why it was
They did Mt think TO save them.
The dear old plum tree giantess
Shook down her petals white;
She saved them for this very time
The fairies wedding night
q think, between US two, that she
Was just three times as nice
As silly human beings
Who only scatter riceD
They didn't throw old shoes for luck:
They a never be so rude
Their custom is prettier one,
So 1 have understood:
For the guests all drink the couples healt
out of crystal dipper.
From golden punch-bowl, full Of dew
Here it is: a lady 's-slipper."

BAGLEY.


The ladies of Bagley gave dinner
to the voters last spring election,
and did so well that they will do
the same at this election. So come
and vote like all good citizens, and
take dinner with the ladies at the
city hall. The money will be used
right here in town where every
man, woman and child will be bene-
flied.
Surely spring must be near at
hand, every thing seems to point
that way This winter Must go on
record / think as rather sickly
season; bad colds and lagr1ppe has
been you may say epidemic; and to
cap all, many of our people are
suffering with what they call pink
eye. Mrs. John Harvill was very
low with pneumonia, and now six
weeks later is but slowly gaining
her strength. Mr.. Harvill had the
grippe and Vina Brierley, the hired
help, was granting, so the home had
the appearance of a hospital for a
few days at least.
The dance at the City hall last
Friday night was partial failure
owing to bad roads and sickness.
Last Saturday night our Literary
club gave an entertainment at the
City hall program that took at
least % hours to render. The gate
money amounted to about twenty
dollars, and entire satisfaction given
a we'll pleased audience. We are
proud of the ability and talent DIS
played by our home cub and wish
them greater success.
We heard this morning that Sam
Patch who has been suffering with
pneumonia is recovering.
Owing to the bad roads and much
sickness, the revival meetings in
Bagley were discontinued. Rev.
Rayfeld and wife were called back
to Prairie du Chen to attend a
funeral, and our pastor, Rev Kildow
was called to oficiate at two funerals
at home. The first was that of old
Mrs. Sheppard, 80 years old who
lived with her niece, Mrs. Margaret
Cantrell of Bagley. The latter was
Mrs. Casper Ready, about 20 years
old. She died at the home of her
daughter Mrs. Chas. Styles of N.
Dakota. Her body was brought
back for interment beside her hus-
band in the Lutheran cemetery.
The funeral was from the Lutheran
church, Rev. Kildow pastor of M. E.
church'oficiat1ng. The Ready family
are old and we'll respected citizens
of Wyalusing.
We are still in the grasp Of Ia
grippe and must of necessity rest
our case right here, hoping that in
the near future . q I may be as
well as ever again.
