Thomas H. Wilson drove in from
Mt. Hope last week Wednesday, just
to do little marketing and buying.
He said the roads were better than
before the thaw, although around
town the sleighing looked mighty
dubious that day. We advised him
to wait until after the evening freeze
before starting home, but he allowed
that the slipping was good enough
for him.
Henry Schloesser, Bloomington,
was in town last week Wednesday
and called at the office of The Herald
to see about little matter of BUSH
ness. He is one of those who thinks
life is not quite right in the country,
without he has a frst-class county
newspaper to read. He says his
father has read The Herald so long he
cannot reckon back to the beginning.
Henry stayed over night, and then
got restless for home. And as the
sleighing was playing out we could
not blame him for wanting to get
back to Bloomington before bare
ground stared him In the face.

town of Hazel Green, was in town

then he says he will surely take a
good long vacation. When he leaves
the old farm. he will go to Dubuque
and live. He thinks that a good
place to retire to, especially as he
has a son in school there. Incidental
", Mr.. Doyle mentioned that the con-
tractor who is now at work on MAX
ing the fill to Eagle Point bridge is
having his troubles. The earth is
frozen all the way from Is inches
deep to the bottom of the earth, and
every yard of dirt that is moved has
to be blasted loose. Mr.. Doyle
thinks the contractor is having hard
shedding to make ends meet on the
Job.

years. He likes Lincoln, and says
it is one of the most agreeable cities
