Spencer Brook correspondent All
are waiting and wishing for fall Of
snow to facilitate the hauling Of hay,
wood, fencing, ETC., but so far we are
on wheels.
The little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Marvin was brought down from the

les. The little one is doing we'll at
the present writing.
H. G. Head writes P. M. after his
name now. He is postmaster at

teous and there is no reason why he
should not make an excellent Nasty.

Marriage Failure?' J.
J. L. Boomingdale started last
Thursday on trip to Deadwood and
other places in South Dakota. He
goes to visit relatives and friends, and
if suited with the country may locate
there permanently. 5Ir. Bloomingdale
should have equipped himself with
plenty of ammunition and firearms,
as he may be called upon to do some
Indian fighting if he would save his
scalp.
| Spencer Brook correspondence: The
wolves for miles around are making
nights hideous by their bowling. It is
not safe for children to be out after
dark. A bill should be introduced in
the legislature this winter to raise the
bounty so as to induce their extermi-
nation, as it can only be done by the
employment Of hounds to drive them
from their lairs in <day time where
they can be shot.
The notices for special meeting
in district No. 1, are posted, calling
such meeting, Jan. 9th, at Z o'clock p.
m. The meeting is called for the pur.
pose of taking steps to secure the
erection of new school building.
More school room is needed, all are
agreed on that point. If it is decided
to have another school building let it
be good one, one that we all can feel
proud Of, and let it be built of brick
and by home men. "A neat, substan-
tial and commodious building is what
is needed. And the Union is decided
lily in favor Of using home material and
employing home men in the building
| of it..
A pleasant time was enjoyed by a
party Of music-loving people at the
residence Of Mr.. Benz. Soule last Sat-
urday evening. Mr.. Chas. Lester, a
friend Of DR.. A. L. Faulkner, from St.
Paul, an accomplished musician, ex-
ecuted some delightful music on the
piano. Mrs. Marvin, Judge Dickey
and Frof. Williams favored the COM
pany with duets and solos. Again or
Sunday afternoon, at the residence of
N. A. Ross, we had the pleasure Of
listening to Mr.. Lester and the Misses
Eva, Sophia and Della Ross and Lola
Jesmer. Miss Eva Ross is musician
in every sense of the word, her execu-
ton is perfect. The other young
ladies develop rare ability in thia line.1
Princeton may we'll be proud of her
musical talent. We all hope that Mr..
Lester will visit us again.
The census shows that Mile Laos
county has 80 old soldiers and five
widows Of soldiers. Of this number
Princeton has So; Greenbush q; Milo
is; and Milaca 9. About 80 Of the
number receive pensions. Many Of.
the remainder are deserving Of and
should receive liberal pensions. The
writer calls to mind several, who are
totally disabled, who have been trying
for years to get a pension, but have
not succeeded, as yet, in getting cent
Of what they are justly entitled to-.
There ought to be some plan of speed
lily bringing these meritorious cases to
u
the attention of the department in
such manner that their claims would
be Immediately allowed. An old vet

defender of his country's flag, and is
