DR.. Lyman j. Rhoades.
DR.. Lyman j Rhoades, who died in
White Pigeon, Mich, Christmas eve
ming, was very well known in Grand
Rapids where he visited many times
while resident of Stevens Point and
Plainfeld. Death was caused by
tuberculosis and the sympathy Of his
many friends are with the surviving
wife and relatives.
The Stevens Point Gazette in its
last issue, contains the following &C
count of his life and death:
Lyman J. Rhoades was born in
Michigan and was about At years of
age. He was son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gus. Rhoades, both of whom preceded
him to the world beyond. The father
was one of the first passenger con-
ductors on the Wisconsin Gen trail
road, and after leaving here was
located in the west for a number of
years, where he died. The mother
passed away many years ago and the
now deceased son is survived by a
Step-mother and half sister and a
half-brother, .who live in South Da-
kota. He also leaves one sister. Mrs.
Andrew Vieman, of White Pigeon,
Mich, with whom DR.. Rhoades and
wife had been living since going to
that place.
DR.. Rhoades came to Stevens Point
when a small boy, was educated in
our public schools and was a member
of the Old White School Association.
He was a graduate physician and sur
geon and after his graduation was To-
Gated in this city for a time and
thereafter at Plainfield for several
years. He then went to Fond du Lac,
where he continued his practice as
long as his health permitted. Dr.
Rhoades was a bright, energetic man,
social and genial, and was well versed
in medicine, in which profession he
would have been far more successful
had he been man of robust health. |
Besides those mentioned above, DR.. |
Rhoades is survived by his wife, Mrs. |
Florence Rhoades, who is the elder |
daughter OF the late DR.. and Mrs. |
John Phillips. He also leaves one

FORTY CARS OF
LOGS FOR PULP
Fox Valley Mills Receive an
Enormous Supply

Forty carloads of hemlock logs in
one shipment for the pulpwood supply
for the local mills arrived in this city
over the North W estern road, Wiscon-
sin division. Saturday, representing
about 100000 feet of logs. As the
shipments over the Ashland division
are even greater for this purpose than
over the Wisconsin division, the
growth of the practice of using hem
lock logs for pulpwood is aptly illus
trated.
About the first of September the
price of Y hemlock for pulpwood
tumh' Z IF from 81 per thousand to
SO and sl1 per thousand and for a
time the buying was heavy but it has
fallen off now and it is claimed the

If there be one better way than an
other to ruin town, it is for those
who live in it to go about apologizing
for its existence. There are some
who are always ready to say, by their
actions at least, that this place don t
amount to much. They will tell you
that the town is dead; that no one
would think of stopping here; that
some town adjacent is more respect
able, more enterprising, has better
people, better enjoyments, is ahead of
us in everything. This is all wrong,
Even if it be true, no one should ever
admit it, when it comes to making a
comparison. Every good citizen of
this town, should take special local
pride in all that pertains to home.
The schools, the churches, the amuse-
ments, the business, pleasures, the
picnics, the celebrations, in fact
everything should be looked on by
our own people as just as good as can
be gotten up elsewhere. The town
that says 1--WE can" will always sue
ceed The town that says, sob, |
don't know, l don't think it will
amount to much" is never of much
force. If you have no local pride,
borrow some.
