The Village to Go Ahead Again This
Year.
Wv. E. Powell, who was in the city
from Ingram the first of the week, says
that his town is going to push ahead
more rapidly than ever this year.
He says that there will be more
building this year than last year and
that the structures will be of a super
ior quality.
Heretofore there has been no land
man there, but that essential feature
is now covered and is expected that a
goodly number of new settlers will be
secured.
A businessmen league is a new
feature calculated to stimulate growth
both in the town and country.
The subject of incorporation as a vii
lage is a live one that is likely to be-
come reality.
The News expresses the sentiment of
the people Of Ladysmith is the wish
that all the towns in the county should
forge ahead each one developing on
lines Of natural advantage. There is
opportunity enough for all Of US,

To Gain Flesh.

You must try to not worry or cry:
both of these. Sleep all you can,
drink a quart of fresh, rich milk
daily, with plenty of corn bread, fresh
fruit, macaroni and take sugar with
rice and cream desserts. Use the
cocoa butter to massage the face and
neck. l do not recommend any treat
ment for hollOws under the eyes.
They will soon leave when you cease
losing flesh.

MUSICIANS ASSOCIATION
Proposal to Act on the Suggestion to
that Effect.

Some time ago a suggestion was
made in the News that it would be we'll
for the musician or the county to meet
and form an association for mutual
benefit and amusement.
w. H. H. Ingle of Ladysmith thinks
it a good idea and says that if the mu-
sicians of the county will take the mat
ter up with him by mail, he will en-
deavor to shape matters with view to
a permanent association.
It is suggested that convention be
held at some point in the county and
that it end with an entertainment.

where in the city at five cents per
quart. THOMAS GUNDERSON.

SELECTING THE SITE
Locating the Carnegie Library Will
Engage the Public At

After deciding to have Carnegie lie
brary comes the question of location.
The concensus of opinion appears to
favor the ground occupied by the
Flambeau town hall east of the water
works building. 1t has been suggested
that the town of Flambeau should be
willing to contribute the site in eX-
change for the use Of the library.
Some of the officers of the town have
been interviewed on the subject and
found favorable to the proposition. 1t
would appear to be fair proposition
and equitable to all interested.

CAMPAIGN AT INGRAM
Contest on for the Craftsmanship of
the Town.

A correspondent at Ingram says: AL
though defeated by narrow margin in
the caucus, Fred Arrowsmith, at the
urgent request of his many friends, has
consented to try out the issue at the
polls for the chairmanship of the town.
While making no promises, those who
know Mr.. Arrowsmith, know where he
stands and his record on the school
board ought to be help to him in his
contest. A fair field is all he asks.
The News wants to see Ingram go
ahead. 1t want to see good govern
ment prevail there. We know Fred
Arrowsmith and esteem him highly
We believe that no better man could
be found anywhere in the county than
he for any Office. We trust that he
will be elected. The people at Ingram
should remember that their chairman
will be member of the county board,
and herein lies our main INTEREST, for
there we need active, quick -witted men
like Fred Arrowsmith. No one who
has watched the proceedings of the
county board needs further argument.
