| The Unity Stock and Farm COM
pany of Unity is new corporation
that filed it's Incorporation papers
with Register of Deeds John Sell last
Saturday. The capital stock of the
company is $40, 000 with shares of 800
each. The incorporators mentioned
are Henry M. Weber, W. H. Dougher-

was organized for the purpose of car

Some of the county roads are re-
ported to be in a depiorable condition.
The continued rains this spring have
kept them soft and the traffic over
them has caused deep ruts and holes
to be cut in the driveways. In many
instances the roadbed proper has not
been fit for travel, and farmers have
taken to the bitches and along the
sides of the roads. The new road
building system it is hoped will rem
edy many of the prevailing evils this
season, and in time will bring about
such an improvement in the country
roads that travel through the county
will be a pleasure to the farmer as
well as the city folks.
There have been many strangers in
the city the past week, attending cir
cult court session and in conversation
at the court house, most every one

in Wausau must be dream. Every
body making Wausau visit would
like to make the city his home. The
only necessary thing to accomplish a
wholesale influx of new residents is
furnishing well paid employment.
| The Advancement association is try
ing to secure such industries for the
| city as will be of benefit principally to
the laboring class and we hope that
the association will soon be rewarded
| with success.
At meeting of the ]4sster House
| Painters and Decorators association
held last evening at the Commercial
club rooms, fifteen new members were
initiated. The meeting was well at
tended, and besides the initiation
exercises there were many matters
| pertaining to the convention to be
here the last two days of July and
the first two days of August attended
to. This convention promises to be
the best attended convection to be
held here this summer there being
over five hundred members who will
attend, the most of whom being ac-
companied by their wives and fam
lilies. The local association is doing
everything possible to make the affair
grand success.
Acting under instructions of the
council, City Eng ineer B. G. Gowan

amizing of Grand avenue, from Stur-
geon Eddy road south to the city
limits, and for the matchmaking of
Jefferson street, from Fifth street
east TO tie st. Paul railway tracks,
and from the cast side of the tracks
to the slope of the hill. The plans
will be submitted to the council at its
next regular meeting, June 4, at
which time it is thought the work
will be ordered done. Both of the
streets mentioned have been iii de-
plorable condition for some tine, and
property owners along those thorough
fares have several times asked the
council to make the necessary inn
proveMents.
