1t is reported that couple was mar
ried recently in the town of Rib Falls,
without waiting for the customary
period to elapse after the departure
from this life of others who had con-
sorted with them from and after prsvi-
Gus marriages. The woman, who is the
mother of four children, buried her hus-
band about six months ago. The groom,
it is said, four weeks ago stood at the
open grave of his former wife and at
his recent marriage wore crepe band
around his hat in touching memory of
her who was dear to him 10 life. He
will now know what it is to be blessed
with children, as none were born 10
himself and former wife.
Blueberries are being brought into
town in small quantities., harvested
south of here. Reports from Northern
Wisconsin are to the effect that the crop
this year will be a record breaker
Cold weather kept the growth back and
and blossoms did not appear until about
the first of June, and no frost having
fallen since that time there is an assur-
ance that crop will be the heaviest in
many years. Last year the blossoms
on bushes that grew in open spaces
were destroyed by late frosts and only
those plants that flourish in heavy tim
bered lands bore fruit. This year there
will be berries everywhere, in the open
as well as in the timber.
