&c. Peck of the Peck Mercantile
has returned from trip to
Huron, South Dakota, and while
there dame nature gave vent to genuine
western blizzard. Did the wind blow?
Mr.. Peck says one could not see across
the street and it was dangerous to
venture into the open. He was forced
to remain in a hotel for three days
with nothing to do but watch the
snow laden air sail by. He noticed
a woman going down the street sup
ported by two men and it looked as if
they would have to abandon the kind
ness. In places the ground was bare
of snow and in others the beautiful
was piled in great impossible drifts
almost as hard as ice. The railros d
cuts were filled, wires were down ard
all train service was abandoned by the
railroads for several days. Business
was entirely suspended.
The trainmen gave their 25th annual
ball at the X. G. hall Monday evening.
The Imperial orchestra furnished the
music and about 120 couples attend
ed. Supper was served by the order.

A novel scheme for raising money
for the library at Prairie du Sac is
being successfully worked there. The
first week in March Miss Baker enter
tanned four ladies from to o'clock
one afternoon, serving cake and coffee
and asking that each contribute ten
cents to the library fund. The next
week these four each entertained four
and the treasury was enriched by
$1.6O. The third week the sixteen
will entertain s1xty-four and
the last week two hundred fifty
six will be invited Ito participate in
the fun and to contribute to the good
cause. Since that will take in nearly
all the available ladies of the village
the chain will end, but If all do their
part 1874 will be given to the Ii
braly and Prairie du Sac will be bene-
flied socially and intellectually.
