EN-. Nye Pluck. a chicago rlower

Last Wednesday afternoon, at the
home of the groom's parents in Viola,
Mr. E. M. Nye of Viroqua and Miss
Miss Minnie Herman of Chicago were
united in marriage. DIR. and Mrs. Chase
and Miss Tillie Herman accompanied
them to Viola. Mr.. and Mrs. Nye are
now established in housekeeping over
Surenson's store.
Mr.. Nye is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. G..
H. Nye, formerly of Lancaster and now
of Viola, and during his few months
presence in our city as proprietor Of the
Optimo, his pleasing personality and
habits of industry and morality have
warmly commended him to us. Mrs.
Nye is lady of pleasing address, and
although comparative stranger to us,
we doubt not that she is well qualified
to win permanent place in the affec-
lions of Viroqua people. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nye are an especially welcome addition
to the musical circles of this city through
being vocalists of real merit. We ex-
press the sincere wish that the current
of their welded life may flow as peace
fully and harmoniOusly onward toward
the golden sunset of life's decline as
were melodious the serenading airs OF
the Third Regiment band.

On Monday the city Of Viroqua was
a waving sea of flags and bunting with
sentiment and patriotism ripe for the
annual memorial day exercises. Sell
dom if ever, has there been more gen.
eral observance of the occasion with
our citizens and the throngs that joined
from the outlying country districts and
villages. The procession that wended
its way to the cemetery was the lar
gest and prettiest that we have known.
constituted of the rsgimental band, old
veterans, state hospital corps in uni
form, Woman's Relief Corps, county
training and city schools, including the
young men of the high school, who
turned out in full number. The usual
ceremony of garlanding soldiers graves
with wreaths and boquets was tenderly
performed by children of the schools,
after which the regular program was
carried through with General Rogers
as master of ceremonies, who said to-
day was the forty ninth anniversary of
the organization of the first company
TO go to the front
The numbers by the male quartet,
recitation of Lincoln's Gettysburg adj
dress by Albion Lindemann, Jr., brought
response liberal and apprecirtive. Fir
ing of salute to the dead, singing by
children of the schools were inspiring
features.
The memorial address by Mr.. w. N.
Coffiand of this city breathed the right
ring of patriotic sentiment No fifteen
minute talk ever made on the grounds
on like occasion did greater credit to
the speaker and found more favor.
Good, thoughtful suggestions and
sentiment were crowded into every
sentence of the address.
The fact that Viroqua has a fine mill
tary band, ready to respond on every
public occasion of this kind without
hope of reward or compensation is a
satisfaction to this city and community
Memorial Sunday services were held
in the Christian church last Sabbath
morning, when a fine congregation par
ticipated. The Grand Army and Re-
lief attended in a body. The annual
sermon and address by Pastor Nc
Callum was in his well appreciated vein
of oratory and thoughtful, patriotic
words.

A GOOD JOB OF LATE DELIVERY
Farmers Making Final Disposition Of
Their Belsted Tobacco Holdings

Ole A. Kalvestran was in the city
from Gays Mills, where he has man.
agenent of the local Equity tobacco
warehouse. He states that many crops
are being delivered for packing and en-
tered in the pool and that it will take
about two months to clear away the
work there.
A good deal of bundle tobacco has
been delivered in Viroqua during the
past week. daily receipts being quite
heavy. Some of this weed is delivered
to local packers while portion is
shipped to outside packing points.
OF tobacco matters elsewhere the
Edgerton Reporter comments: There
is so little effort now being made to
lift the remnants of last seasons to-
bacco crop as to scarcely deserve a
mention in this column. An occasional
transaction however, is made around
former quotations or even less figures.
Some deliveries are yet coming of
crops previously weighed up and settled
for on the farms, and warehouse work
is still hanging on at several packing
points, though most of the large OPP
orators have finished the seasons pack.
Fine rains have fallen during the
week but the nights continue much too
cool to promote the desired rapid de-
velopment of the seed beds. The young
plants however. are reported as taking
good root and making Roadway with a
prospect of reaching proper size in
time for the usual transplanting.

OBSERVERS FUN AND SENTIMENT
Some Pleasant Catches That are Ex-

HE has achieved success who Las
lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect of
intelligent men and the love of little
children; who has filed his niche and
accomplished his task; who has left the
world better than he found it, whether
by an improved poppy, a perfect poem,
or rescued soul; who has never lacked
appreciation of earth's beauty or failed
to express it; who has always looked
for the best in others and given the
best he had; whose life was an inspira-

Many republicans who are such from

was defeated, as he should have been.

election Mr.. Ekern was almost immedi-
ately rewarded for his infidelity to
party by appointment to the position
of deputy insurance commissioner.
Now. to further demonstrate his dis
regard Of the primary law. he asks re-
publicans of Wisconsin to make lin
their nominee for one of the highest
positions in their gift. Possibly such
disregard of the primary system and
