ROYALTY ENTERTAINED.
Mineral Pointers Greatly Elated Over
Atsractiveneas of Richland Center
and Hospitality os Her People.

Last Friday afternoon marks time
that will long be remembered by those
of our citizens who journeyed to Rich
land Center under early fall conditions
of weather and over roads that were
as nearly perfect as can well be
imagined.
A committee of our common council
and other interested citizens, upon in
vitaticn of the people of Richland Cen
ter tc inspect their new municipal
opera house, planned the above mel-
toned trip
Officialdon beaded by Mayor Smith,
together with the leading citizens of
our neighboring city, were out in force,
and accorded their visitors sincere
welcome and a most royal entertain
ment.
The occasion was rendered the more
enjoyable inasmuch as the Mineral
Pointers were the guests of our neigh
boring townsfolk at a play given that
evening, which proved to be something
for which it was felt our folks had been
long Starving.
Richiand Center, a most beautiful
city, securely nestled among the hills
Forth of the Wisconsin river, is city
of boosters, as is we'll attested by the
modern and wonderful improvements
found on every hand.
1t is spoken of as our neighbor be
cause IL the fact that the automobile
has made it such, for the first car to
return was found to have made the
distance in two and one half hours.
1t is to be regretted that more Min
eral Pointers did not make the trip,
for it TAG a most profitable one. The
two cities have discovered through this
visit that they have a community of
interests and can and should aid each
other in the advancement OF this sec
ton of the state.
The workings of their plan of muni-
cipally. controlling the management of
their opera house was freely discussed in
all of lie details, so that its application
to conditions in our city, Interference TO
our opesa house, which is soon to be
opened Sshould insure for it success
from TN beginning.
The following townspeople who made
the trip to Richland Center have all re-
turned from there force of ardent
boosters Chas. Terrill, Henry Frieden,

Sing to the Sick and Shut-Ins.

Thanksgiving morning about half
past, six eighteen members of the Con,
gregational church choir met at the
