Mr.. and Mrs. David Eastman are
home, after delightful winter in
southern California.
Mrs. Bertha Martin leaves this
week for Farview, Mont, where she
will visit for the next several months
with her brother r. 3 Eastman and
family.
keenan, Bennett came home from
Chicago, last Friday. Dr.. A. j.
Ochsner, the noted surgeon, did not
md IL necessary to operate on his
patient.
Mrs. L. A McGonigal, formerly
of Lancaster, but for six years
matron of the Wales tuberculosis
sanitorium, has resigned her position,
the resignation to take effect June L.
Saturday was pretty light day
on the streets of Lancaster. The
roads were mighty sloppy and there
was no way for running an automo-
bile. Some of the merchants, how
ever, say they had pretty good day
trading.
Ralph Thurber, half owner of
Richland Republican Observer, died
at his home in Riehland Center, last
Friday night He was newspaper
man of ability, genial fellow and
had a wide circle of friends. He
was about 40 years of age.
Ed Creamy says that these rains
have done wonders for his pastures,
which had come on slowly, because of
the drouthy conditions during April.
And the new grass. which is growing
faster than the cows can eat it, is
having a splendid effect on the milk
flow of his Jerseys and near Jerseys.
Ed has been considering the matter
of installing a milking outfit, and the
increasing flow may prove to be the
deciding factor.
William Fache, Sitter, caused
the arrest of Meyer Smookler, of
Madison, last week Friday, on the
charge of obtaining property under
false pretense. The case involves
quantity of junk that Smookler
bought from Fache, and for which it
Is claimed that no consideration was
paid There was a preliminary hear
ing before Justice C. w. Burrows,
Saturday forenoon, and Smookler was
bound over to trial IN circuit court,
under bond of $1,000, which defend
ant was unable to give, and ne went
TO Jail. He was defended by two at
torneys from Madison.
John R Wilkins, the Livingston
Jersey breeder, says the Grant county
.Jerseyites will have a big time over
at Fennimore on June IL, which is
Friday. And when these Jersey
breeders get together there is good
time on foot, as The Herald man
knows. This Herald man attended
sort of winter picnic of Jersey
breeders over at Livingston, last
February, and had the time of his
life. This picnic will be held at
Theo. Wehrle's place, and after a
picnic dinner Prof. Humphrey, of
Wisconsin University, will speak.
AS for the prospects of that coming
picnic, The Herald man can prog
nesticate the finest ever, especially
If Mrs. John r. wilkins has to do
with it. She can't be beaten on a
winter picnic.
George Barrows, clerk of court,
had the misfortune to lose mis- gold
watch the day the incoming train on
the Northwestern jumped the track
the last time-abeut six weeks ago.
George knows he lost it that day, be-
cause he drove his Metz car out to
inspect the disturbance. 1t was rot
so bad for Mr.. Barrows to lose his
watch, as it was for him to not tell
about it for several days, which hap
pened to be the case. Finally, he
told The Herald man, and was advis-
ed that perhaps a want Adv. !"
would bring in the lost time piece.
In spite of his incredulous smile, he
gave up reluctant quarter to pay for
the advertisement, and it was print
ed. That little 5-l;ner appeared in
the issue of April %, Grant County
Herald, and Mr.. Barrows had for
gotten all about it, except that he
still wanted to see the good watch
once more. But he really never ex
Pected to gaze upon it. Last week a
stranger walked into the office of
the clerk of court and asked to see
the man whe was advertising for
q lost gold watch. And ne had it.
Z was somewhat disfigured, but an
hours work by Lancaster jeweler
put it back to ticking, and it shines
