Fire Department held Monday evening
scored even greater success thar any
of its predecessors. Over 300 tickets
were sold and the attendance fairly
packed the hall during the concert
hour previous to the dancing. Hatch's
full orchestra furnished the music and
with the assistance of Prof. Arlington
added much to the pleasures of the oc-

the generous support accorded their
annual party.
On Friday night of this week the

The Sun Prairie team comes here with
a fine record of games for the season

locals against Baraboo last Saturday
would seem to indicate, however, that
Sun Prairie will meet team which it
will be difficult to defeat when she
meets the local boys. 1t seemed to be
the opinion of those in attendance at
the game Saturday that it was the best
game ever played on the local floor

consent of all the members. Mr.. North
alone remains to conduct the growing
real estate and loan business the firm
has successfully built up. Mr.. Went
worth found that his tobacco business
and farming interests required so much
time he was unable in justice to him
self to remain in the firm, though he
will still retain his Office and desk room
in the present quarters. Mr.. George
Blanchard desired also to devote him
self more exclusively his law business
and so retires from the firm but for the
present will retain his office in the same
suite in the post office building. D.

ability amply qualify him to continue
the business of the old firm.
