ty had its final meeting last Wednes-
day in the church. The meetings
have been discontinued for the sum-
mer. The ladies decided to serve
lunches at the fair this coming Sep
TENDER.
The new cement curling and aprons
on Mcclellan street, between Second
and Sixth streets, are new innova-
ton in Wausau, and if generally
adopted throughout the city would
very much enhance the beauty of its
emerald lawns and boulevards.

of the Wausau Tent & Awning Co.,
was a pleasant caller at this Office
while in the city on business. Mr..
Lipski is furnishing the awning for
the Mott Fruit & Produce Co., and
while in the city called on several of
our business men" -Grand Rapids

During the reunion of the Alexan-
der family at Plum lake last week a
dance was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Alexander a pavilion recently
erected on the shores of Plum. A
very enjoyable evening was spent by
those present. The pavilion is an
addition to the lake and provides an
excellent place for dances to be given.
Miss Lula Kollath of Wausau, who
was visiting at the l. R. Hughes home
with her friend, Miss Jennie Hughes,
in Wild Rose, returned home last
Wednesday. "These two young ladies
became friends nine years ago, when
they were both very young girls, in
the ST. Mary's hospital at Oshkosh,
where they were both receiving treat
ment. They had not met since that
| time, and the visit was one of mutual
enjoyment" says the Wild Rose
Times.
The Wisconsin statute prohibiting
the making up Of an upper berth of
| a sleeping car until the berth is en-
| gagged, has been annulled as IN
constitutional taking of private prop
erty without compensation by the
supreme court. Now it is up to the
Pullman company to be decent and
keep the upper berths, when not en-
gagged, closed. 1t does not require a
law to make some respect the wishes
| of the travelling public.
Doubles are being played every
evening on the Y. NJ. G. A. tennis
court every evening. Great interest
has been manifested by the younger
as well as the Older members of the
association in this game. Another
court conld well be added and would
be used as constantly as the present
one is. There are really no good
tennis courts in the city. The game
is one which affords splendid exercise
and lots of good fun. There should
be more courts where Wausau tennis
players could play.
An organization consisting of all
| the officers, directors and employees
of the twelve banks in the county of
| Portage, has been formed. The or
| ganization is called the Bankers
County Development association and
the object is to promote good fellow
ship ana in the developing of the
banking, agricultural and general
business interests of the county. The
association was formed by L. W.
Dunegan, G. S. Orthman and A. H.
Henderson, cashiers of the three
Stevens Point banks.
A number of farmers who have
been in the city, report that the crops
so far have looked very unfavorable.
The crop of rye, however, is conceded
to be growing rapidly. If the present
sunny, warm weather continues
marked improvement in the growth
| of the crops will be evidenced within
a short time. The long rainy spell
we had will begin to show its effect
very soon. The farmers certainly de-
serve good returns and then-well
this is said to be one of the seven
years of the Lord in which things
must be plenteous.
The distribution for the year 1915,
of the fry propagated at the state
hatcheries, has just about been COM
pleted. Some lS2 million of the var
iouS kinds of fish have been planted
in lakes throughout Wisconsin.
Great stories are related concerning
how quickly the lakes and streams
become restocked when planted with
fry from the state hatcheries, when
