In the repairs being made to the
old Parrish store building, it has been
found necessary by those who have it
in charge, to tear down the old
wooden awning that has covered and
protected certain number of our old
citizens from the rays of the sun and
rains ever since it's construction.
This corner, and the front of this
building, has been a rendezvous for
such men as Judge Webb, Joseph L..
Whitney, S. H. Smart, DR.. James
WEIGH, William Corcoran, Chief of
Police Garihee, Edward Huban,
Lucian Berard, Edward Wheelan,
James Mccarthy, Geo N. Wood and
others. as they at times sit here for
short periods of time in the evening
and discuss local subjects of general
interest, politics, etc, but they never
gossip about their neighbors. The re-
moval of this awning is to be re-
GREETED because it takes away the
shelter of the place. 1t will also have
a tendency to disperse the crowd that
has been in the habit of congregating
there. The membership of this club
will be obliged to select another
suitable place to swarm unless our
friend, Smart, will furnish a substi-
tute therefor in settees of modern
pattern. The loss of the assemblage
of the members of this club may have
a depressing effect upon the patronage
heretofore enjoyed at this corner.
We move that immediate action be
taken to provide a suitable substitute
for meeting place.

Morgan for social call. He informed
us thathe resided with his parents
near the mouth of Moccasin Creek,

Monday from Nekoosa he could hardly
locate himself or recognize the place
The changes had been so great. He
som found many old settlers whom
he knew in his boyhood and is greatly
enjoying his trip. While here he
used to live with DR.. &. f. Witter
and went to school. He said his
father died in Wood comfy before
they left here and his mother died in
Elroy. He says he has one sister,
Mrs Grant, and three brothers all liv.

periences with considerable pleasure
and is glad to note the many favorable
improvements in the old home of his
childhood. He expects to stay only a
few days when he will return home
to Elroy.

An Age of EXPERTS

We are living in an age of specialism;
an age when success can only be at
tanned by the. concentration of every
thought upon the answering pursuit
of single object. Musty theories.
and quack cures cannot stand out
against progressive medical science.
Recent discoveries are forcing old
methods of treatment iD the shade.
Extraordinary diseases require extra.
ordinary treatment. This is the kind
given by the Illinois State Specialists
of Rockford, Ill.,. who state the time
to cure various diseases elsewhere IL
this paper. Sincere devotion to theil
art, unimpeaChable medical talent
and skill have placed these expert.
upon pinnacle never before reached
by other doctors. All afflicted should
write for appointment card to secur,
