In an North Andover correspond
ence last week it was announced that
the oyster supper given there in
Behlmer's hall a few evenings
previous was in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
Remey. We are now informed that
it was given in honor jointly of
Mr.. and Mrs. Remey ard Mr.. and
Mrs. Droullard.
The heating system at the depot
is now in good working order and
seems to be satisfactory to the com.
pany. 1t is probable that further i'm
provements in the surroundings of the
station will be- made in the spring.
The board platform on the south side
will without a doubt. be replaced by
brick pavement The exterior of the
depot will doubtless be given several
more coats of paint. At present it
has a notified appearance that is not
exactly beautiful. The company has
still considerable work on its hands at
this end of the line.
The Lancaster high school boys
are already making plans for the base
bali season which they expect to be a
very successful one. The schedule
will be completed as early as possible
and it is planned to have a fair quota
of games at home. The best teams
of the section will be played. The
schedule includes two games with
Dodgeville high school. one to be
played here May IA and one at Dodge
Vile May 80 and the local students
hope to get revenge for the defeat
administered in debating by the orange
and black representatives

Notwithstanding the fact that
there have been no snow blockades
to impede railroad traffic the trains
during the past week have been from
fifteen minutes to two hours late.
The G. g N. W. seems to have as
hard work getting It's schedule in
regular working order as it did keep
ing the tracks Clean several weeks
ago. The present irregularity is ex-
planned in various ways, 1t is said
that since the freight tie-up the
"dinky'' engines on this end of the
division have met with difficulty in
moving the long trains. The fact
that the noon train is late so often
is blamed on the Milwaukee Madison
train. 1t is said that the latter finds
it almost impossible to run according
to the schedule time.
In an account of the recent de-
bate writer in the Dodgeville Sun
Republic delivers himself of the fol-
lowing candid comparison: 1.-THE
songs sung by Lancaster were parodies
on all the late and ancient popular
hits and were given in a way that
surely surpassed the imagination OF
the Dodgveille rooters. In them
were all the snap and liveliness that
makes school songs interesting but
Lancaster's yelling was decidedly on
the bum. Although Dodgeville was
outnumbered nearly four to one we
made more noise and had more
unison in cheering than they did.
Good natured rivalry was shown dur
ing the roofing periods. . In the
same article the following appears:
"After the debate an informal dance
was given at Knapp's rink and some
of the Dodgevill1ans attended. Thanks
to the girls and boys of Lancaster the
Dodgeville people were entertained
most pleasantly. We expect to en-
gage with Lancaster in interscholastic
contests hoth on the nIatfOrm and on
