Implement dealers say that the
farmers are starting in early to buy
farm machinery. And further, that
they are buying good stuff. One
dealer has sold 13 manure spreaders,
up to the beginning of last week.

is accounted good farmer.
William Hoffman, who lives
about four miles west of town, has
a record of constancy of which he is
proud. He has lived on the farm he
now occupies for So years, and in all
that period there has not been death
in the home. He still occupies the
house that was on the farm when his
people bought it, although it has
been rebuilt and done over a con-
siderable. And Mr.. Hoffman has
taken The Herald about all the time
that is some member of the family
has taken it, so that it has been COM
ing to the Hoffman home. The
Hoffman farm lies in the bottoms of
Grant river, and with all that, Mr.
Hoffman says, his family has never
had the "shakes. - He declares there
never was a case of ague in his
family. Mr.. Hoffman was born in
Kentucky, and came to Wisconsin as
boy.
Next week Saturday, in the
evening, the boys in blue, and the
ladies of the w. r. O., will hold
celebration of the surrender of the
Confederate army at Appomattox, on
April, 9, 1865. In that connection
it is pertinent to mention that A. c.
Morse of this city, was present on
that occasion and witnessed all of
the proceeding that was within the
limits of his vision. He had been in
the federal army for four years, in
the army of the Potomac, was at
Gettysburg and a dozen other fierce
fights, and still lives to tell the
tale He did not get away without
few reminders, two of which were
in the form of wounds. But he got
off pretty we'll, considering that he
was in the "Iron Brigade, = COM
bination of warriors that saw as much
service and as savage service as any
like number of men in all the army.
There may be other old soldiers in
Grant county who witnessed the sur
render of Robert E. Lee and his
drabbled army at Appomattox, and
if so The Herald would like to hear
from them. Who will be the first to
speak?
