SHOUTS FOR WAUSAU.

A late issue of the Marathon Times
contained the following compliment
airy dissertation in reference to Wau-
sau and for the adoption of like
slogan for its village:
THE Wausau visitors during the
past three weeks were surprised to
see in the evening, over the handsome
new city hall, in brilliant colors the
new Wausau slogan sign Work For
| Wausau." The sign, it is said was
| donated to the city by the Street
| Railroad company, but the city of
Wausau pays the company twenty-five
dollars a month for operating expenses.
'The writer has heard numerous
people from outside of Wausau express
their admiration for this sign, or
rather for the progressive spirit of
Wausau as exemplitied by the same.
Wausau is, indeed, progressive and
prosperous city and is held in high
esteem all over the state, and well
may all the people Of Marathon coun-
ty be proud of her county seat, the
mistress of north-central Wisconsin,
our German Athens on the banks of
The Wisconsin river. But while we
may thus all share in the Just fame

not also learn from her, why not
catch the Wausau spirit? The busi-
ness men of WauSau have learned to
adopt the maxim of marching separ-
ately and striking together.
"While they, each and all, do not
sacrifice their individuality, and have
still plenty of time and energy to fur
ther their own business interests,
they on the other hand, realize full
we'll that in union there is strength,
and that by working harmoniously
and zealously for the welfare and pro-
greSS of the entire community they
at the same time are promoting their
own interests. And thus the Wausau
spirit is forming a nucleus from which
a spirit of progressiVeness has grown
which will not only benefit the city
of Wausau but every city, village or
hamlet in the northern Wisconsin
valley. Advancement associations
similar to that of Wausau have been
organized in nearly every neighboring
city and village, who by combined
efforts work not only for the progress
and development of their own town
but for the whole territory as such
Marathon could learn much indeed
from WauSau. While we have splen-
did opportunities and business men
of great ability doing excellent busi-
ness, what we lack is that get togeth-
er spirit, by means of which so much
could be accomplished.
