SCHOOL FAIR.

A very interesting and instructive
school fair was held in the Norrie
school last Friday evening; the princi-
pal of that school, Miss Hermanson,
arranged to have each of the scholars
bring vegetables from their homes
upon which lst, End and Bird pre-
umims were given. The result was
that a very handsome display was
made and the fair was largely
attended. The judges were +. w.
Fausch, Mrs. Avg. Sch@itzSe and Mr..
Gates and the display included about
everything raised on a farm frohf a
peanut to pumpkin. The children
were very enthusiastic and say that
they are going to have gardens of
their own, and hold larger and better
fair next year. This is the first school
fair so far as known, ever held in
Marathon county.

BEAUTIFUL WISCONSIN.

If we had but one more year to live,
we believe that we would ask to stay
in Marathon county, Wisconsin. AS
we look out now upon the green and
gold of rich grass land and plentiful
harvest here and all over the upper
Mississippi valley, it seems as though
this must be the best of earth.
Go to any part in Marathon county,
breathe the pure air, drink the re-
freshing water, and see the cOmforta-
bic homes, big barns and herds of cat
tie, listen to the hum of the mower as
it cuts three tons of grain to the acre,
gaze on the fields of corn, barley and
oats and if the scene does not appeal
to you as the garden spot of the
universe, then you are not to be
charmed by the richest blessings
nature ever bestowed upon a country.
We cannot all live in Wisconsin, nor
all in luxury, or in marble halls, but
there is yet room for thousands in
this good country of ours where
health makes happiness and happi-
ness riches.
The great west may boast of her
the Alberta country of
her waving fields of wheat, the Da-
kotas of their fertile prairies but
there is not in any, all of the bless
ingS found in Wisconsin, a state that
has produced its millions in forestry
and ore, state unequalled for its
natural water powers, and better than
all, state that still awaits its soil
development to make it one of the
greatest wealth producers of any on
the map,
Some of us are not satisfied, but it
is only because we are not well in
formed about the relative values and
to be found here and in
other sections. Those who have tried
to find better locality and know
whereof they speak, declare that there
is no better to be found all things
considered. Marathon county is con-
sidered to be one of the best farming
and dairy counties in the state; the
larger papers will quote figures to
prove that the southern part OF the
state is the place for the ambitious
farmer, but tell us, why is it that so
many of these young industrious
farmers, leave so rich a field and
come further north, and locate in
Marathon county? Edgar News.

TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1878.

The back wing of the old Eoiter

We are informed that G. P. Hasel-

The freshet has come at last and
our lumbermen are happy. Large
quantities of umber belonging to
Scott & andrews, Huntington &
Beebee, j. K. Leahy and j. Woodlock
have come down from above and passed
over the falls. 1t is reported that
about 100000 feet of logs have come
into the bonmS.

A MIX UP.

Up in Northern Wisconsin there
has been a decided mix up in the
partridge law, and the result was that
the people up there enjoyed several
days of hunting and bagged a good
many partridges before they were
stopped by another opinion from the
Attorney general.
The 1913 legislature passed an act
making it unla wful to hunt partridges
until Oct. lst instead of from Sept.
10th as previously permitted. The
law is one which requires very fine
discrimination and is somewhat of a
puzzle to the Attorney general. Last
week he gave us as his opinion that
partridges could be hunted after Sept.
10th and few days later he issued
another decision that they could not
be hunted until Oct. lst. In the
meantime everyone who had shot
gun up at Eagle River and Rhine
lander were out chasing birds.

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines

If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary bronchi-
tis and pneumonia use cough medi-
cines that contain codine, morphine,
heroin and other sedatives when you
have cough or cold. An expectorant
like ChamberlainAs Cough Remedy is
what is needed. That cleans out the
culture beds or breeding places for the
germs of pneumonia and other germ
diseases. That is why pneumonia
never results from cold when Cham
herlain's Cough Remedy is used. 1t
has world wide reputation for its
cures. 1t contains no morphine OF

PROPERTY PURCHASE.

The Wausan Box and Lumber CON-
pany last Thursday added tive acres
to its ground by purchase from L
Latshaw. Mr.. Latshaw purchased
this property about a year ago with
view of putting up factory on same.
A change in plans enabled him to
consider an offer made by the box
company and which he finally ac-
cepted. The company commenced
last winter TO manufacture its own
box lumber and this necessitated
having considerable more room on
which TO pile its logs.

in part, ARE that dangers which
might be apprehended in such q form
OF treatment are actually present
therein. He finds that patients SUBJ
jected to this treatment have not i'm
proved but have lost ground.
He finds that where the tubercu-
losis condition had affected one side
PRIOR to inoculatiOn with the serum
(sic) there was after such inocula-
ton an unnatural rapid DEVELOPMENT
of the tubercular process on the
hitherto healthy side, which indicates
that the operation of the alleged cure
had q tendency to accelerate rather
than retard the progress of the dis
ease.
1t seems to me that 1t would be
culpable for us to longer hesitate and
that our duty now is to insist upon
such a regulation and supervision of
this enterprise as shall prevent the
preparation upon the public of a dan
gerous and cruel fraud.
The wide advertisement of the
serum has had an affect of awaken
ing final pitiful hope in the breasts
OF conscienceless men might turn
into an immense financial profit.
There has been time and opportunity
