EXHIBITORS.
Crowds visited the Woman's De-
partment yesterday and found much
to interest them, for the display is
unusually good and Miss Caldwell
has bee congratulated not only by
the fair management, but by many
friends on the splendid showing of
Woman's work here, and its ar
rangement. 1t is difficult for the
initiated to quite grasp what it
means to carry on the work of the
woman's department of the fair. 1t
requires more than executive ability,
more than work, more than energy,
for to it must be brought infinite tact,
unlimited patience, unremitting eff
fort. All of these has Miss Cald-
well given to the work of the wo-
mans department this year, and it
is not difficult to understand why
this work reflects such credit on the
county, with her as its executive head.
For several years she has been in
charge of the woman's department
of the fair, and her services have
been invaluable.

Special Correspondence to the Herald
The writer of Grant County History
in his article published in The Her
aid, May 9Th, mentions the name of
Willis st. John, who came to these
regions in 1882. 1t is true that he
was very successful man as lead
miner in the early days of "Snake
Hollow, now Potosi, and until one
of the Wild cat banks of the time
went broke he was d man of wealth,
and then he went broke. No. not
exactly broke, he still owned section
3, town 2, range 3 and other lands
in Potosi. The loss of his money so
preyed on his mind that he became
demented. There were then some
INSCRIPTIONS men living in Potosi,
who took advantage of his mental
condition and swindled him out of his
possessions. Mr.. St. John died a
poor man, but not as bachelor nor
a single man, as the historian says
it was thought he had. He died and

son and daughter. The son, John st.
John, then very young man,
answered his country's call and in
April, 1861, enlisted with Capt.
David McKees, Company C, Second
Wisconsin infantry regiment. He
was killed at the battle of Gaines
vile, Virginia, August %, 1862.
The daughter, Marcia st. John, short
~ after the war had ended, became
the wife of Herman Buchner, of
Piatteviille, who afterward moved to
Lancaster and served four years as
clerk of the court of Grant county,
and who subsequently became a
prominent Lancaster attorney. Mrs.
Buchner died at Lancaster several
years ago. Mrs. ST. John was a
familiar figure in Potosi, and every
one had kind word for Aunt Betsey
She died at the home of her daughter,
in Lancaster, number of years ago.

materials. the only difference being In
the mechanical form the product takes.
