Milton

Mrs. A. M. Thorpe has been suffer
ing with appendicitis this week and on
Wednesday was taken to Mercy hos
pital, GAINESVILLE, where she submitted
to an operation upon her arrival. At
last reports she was getting along
nicely.
Rev. Thos. Sharpe has been in Chi
cago much of the time the past week
with Mrs. Sharpe, who is in hospital
there. Besides recovering from the
operation Mrs. Sharpe has been troubl-
ed with pneumonia this week.
The mass meeting in the auditorium
Saturday evening was success in ev-
cry particular, about 500 being present
in spite of the inclement weather. Pas
tors r. M. Scott of the Milton M. E.
church and w. D. Hamilton of the Mil
ton Junction M. E. church gave five
minute talks in which they told several
good anecdotes and expressed their ap-
probation of the work of Milton col
lege. Mr.. John Gredler of Waukesha
was introduced and spoke of the rails
ing of the endowment for Carroll col
lege. He referred to the work and
need of the Christian colleges of the
state and the need of the moral train
ing they give for the development of a
better citizenship. Or. E. S. Bailey,
president of the Alumni association,
was called upon and gave talk on the
plans for the meeting of the alumni at
the semi-centennialc commencement next
year. He proposed that instead of the
usual alumni and toasts, one whole day
be devoted to q reunion of old students
and suggested that it be the day before
commencement. Pastor Randolph said
that when the task of raising $105, 900,
to bring the college endowment up to
$3.50, 900, was first laid upon him he was
depressed for weeks, but as plans had
formed and he had seen the response
of loyal old students and friends Of the
school, he had set the goal now at
$500, 900.

Cambridge

Nels Nelson Hatlebak died at his
home in Cambridge Monday morning,
November 18th, at the age of "a years,
9 months and IA days. The deceased
came to America 81 years ago and set
tied in Cambridge, which has since been
his home. His wife preceded him in
death four months ago.
The last one to put in one of the
Globe plants sold by Messrs. Tellefson
and Stair is Mr.. George Sherwood,
living five miles northeast of Edgerton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherwood are now thor
oughly delighted with the system
whereby they have light in any part of
the house and barn at the turn of a
button. The large round barn is pro-
vided with Is lights controlled by six
switches in convenient locations. A
light on pole midway between house
and barn lights up the whole yard. The
pig pen is lighted as we'll as the garage
and no more dangerous lanterns will be
needed at any place on the farm. The
house has 16 lights.
The wedding bells were ringing in
West Oakland last Wednesday evening,
Nov. 8th, when Miss Judith Orsby,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Ors-
by, was joined in holy wedlock to Mr.!
Oscar T. Lein. The nuptial knot was
tied by Rev. G. G. Krostu at the East
Koshkonong parsonage. Miss Margaret
Orsby, sister of the bride, was brices-
maid, Lloyd Lein, brother of the groom,
was best man. The bride wore beau
tiful gown of crepe de chine and geor-
gette crepe and carried a bouquet of
white roses. The groom wore a suit of
blue serge. After the ceremony the
bridal party drove to the home of the
brides sister, Mrs. Carl Schmidt, where
bountiful supper was served to the
immediate relatives and few neigh
bors. The following evening when the
young people arrived at the L. o. Lein
Sr. farm, where they intend to make
their future home, they were met by a
grand serenade.

team defeated his old teammates.
