COMMUNICATION
WAS FICTICIOUS

In the issue of the Record Courier
of May 2Sth, there was published a
communication relative to the teach
ers of the Genoa School. At that

identity of the author and it was
published in good faith, as is other
articles of like nature Tuesday
AFTERNOON the supposed writer call
at this office and denied that she was
the author of said communication !
by personal investigation the Rec
ord-courier learns that both Mrs.
kohler and Miss Genocchio are cap
able and efficient teachers and during
ther incumbency the Genoa school
has been in capable hands and the
trustees of that school have recog-
nized their ability and as fitting re-
ward for their faithful services have
reelected them to teach for the com
ing term.

Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1915-10-07

About forty members of the Dodge
vile chapter of the order of the Eastern
Star went to Mineral Point last w ednes-
day evening in response to a special in
vitation to visit the Mineral Point
chapter and exemplify the initiation
work, also to be guests at a banquet
given in their honor
The members of the chapter at our
neighboring town proved themselves
royal entertainers and the Dodgeville
people came home full Of enthusiasm
over the hospitality which they had
enjoyed Dodgeville Sun-Republic.
Now is the time and this is the place
to say that all the honor associated
with this notably happy and memorable
occasion does not belong to the Mineral
Point ladies' What the Dodgeville pa
pers and people may say is duly appre-
ciated, but the evenings doings devel-
oped that the special honors fell upon
the ladies from the county seat. They
proved themselves stars not merely as
members of a grand order by that
name, but as talented and impressive
performers in eNemphfying the beauti-
full work. But few teams in the state
can equal and scarce, indeed. are those
that may excel
