NO STOPPING SCHOOL
FOR FODDER PULLING

At the meeting of the Henderson
county teachers Saturday, Superinten-
dent Shitle said there would no stop
ping of the schools of the county in
order that the pupils might assist
their parents in making fodder this
year; giving as his reason the fact
that to do so would seriously impair
the work in the school and that teach
ers could not afford to stop for two or
three weeks at this time in the year.
This order was made by the county
board of education. and the teachers
we're instructed, in case the commit
teemen insisted on stopping school,
to notify them that if the school was
stopped for this purpose this year,
it would not open next year until the
first of October after. the harvest had
been gathered in.

around Hendersonville will be shown
throughout the South this winter in
an illustrated lecture given by DIR.

ted to have a great effect in educating

at meeting of the board Of trade
held in the auditorium Of the city hall
Monday night at which time Dr. Nor
ton showed some of the views of Ashe-
vile, which were especially fine. He
didn't attempt to make a lecture, but
took occasion to remark upon the
numerous unrivalled natural beauties
Of HendersonVille and especially
Laurel Park. owned by W. A. Smith,
which he said was undoubtedly the
most beautiful spot OF earth in all the
world, and this decision was not ar
rived at from mere Iearsay about
other places on the globe, but the
speaker himself had been all over the
world to see for himself and knew
what he was talking about.
At the meeting a committee COM
posed of W. Marshall Bridges, chair
man, w. A. Smith, c. e. Brooks and
DIR. A. C. Tebeau, was appointed to
raise the sum of $10O for purchasing
the slides and Tuesday they were busy
raising the money and selecting the
views. Hendersonville will get q
great deal of advertising out of this
lecture andlD Norton does not charge
anything for his services, only asked
the citizens of the city to pay for the.
slides.
He is accompanied on his tours by
Wayne Jackson, soloist Of ability,
who always renders several beautiful
#ly illustrated songs. He delighted his

readers of the Hustler may not be
verv familiar with this plan of mu-
tuai benefit, so little story about a
nearby town might be Interesting, and
give some idea of the plan of the sale.
In Greenville, S. c., in July the mer-
chants had dollar day sale. 1t was
we'll advertised. the daily papers were
ful, of attractive advertisements and
in consequence when the day of the
sale came there were crowds of people
in town. AS one cOuntryman express
ed it, 1T was like circus day so many
people." One merchant said he was
Offering a bargain in a ready-made
dresses and long before time to open
I'D his store, people were standing
around the door waiting to come In.
One of his bargains was dollar
dress. another a dollar shirt waist.
These dresses went like hot cakes al
though their style was not so new as
it has been a few seasons back, but
the material was good and they We're
fully worth the dollar. 49,
A drug store offered choice col
lection of toilet articles and his clerks
could not wait on all the customers.
Each store had its special dollar ar
ticle displayed besides their regular
line of goods was put attractiYely be-
fore this crowd of customers.
1t was like an excursion to town or
real holiday to people from the sur
rounding towns and country. Seeing
ones old friends and mingling togeth-
er and looking over the bargains gave
a day of pleasure as we'll as of profit,
and the merchants decided that the
day had been so successful that they
would offer equally as attractive in
ducements to their customers another
year and have another dollar day sale.
This paper will carry to its readers
the account of the bargains offered on
dollar day, and those in the surround
ing towns and in the country and in
Hendersonville are asked to read care
fully these advertisements and be
in town and On the street that day for
there will be many doing their fall
shopping early before the bargains
have been all picked up and you would
be glad to be one among the fortunate
ones.

Mrs. Nellie Young has returned
from a sojourn of nine months in Cali
fornia, where she had a most enjoya-
BILE time, including Los Angeles, San
| ia Monica and many other places of
interest in her itinerary. Mrs. Young
was unfortunate enough to sustain a
badly sprained foot and was in the
hospital for about three weeks before
coming home, and is still suffering as
a--result of the injury. She found on
reaching Baraboo that her home had
been broken into during her absence,
but as most of her valuables are kept
at the bank vaults, the robbers haul
was not as great as might be.
Monday afternoon an Overland auto
on it's way to BaraboO turned COM

cident stated that the car carried an
Illinois license tag and was going rap
idly and swaying from side to side and
in going into the road from the sand
turned a complete somersault Fortu-
nately the occupants were not seri-
ously injured, although it is reported
that one of the men in the car was
slightly hurt. The auto was not great
ly damaged, but the front axle was
bent to such an extent that it was
necessary to have it Strengthened in
BarabOo before the car could proceed.
Monday night about 10 o'clock while
at work in the local railroad yards,
William Pierce, brakeman, had the
misfortune to sustain a badly crushed
foot. He was taken to the BarabOo
hospital and it was at first thought
that it would be necessary to ampu-
tate the limb above the ankle. A spe-
ciaIist summoned from Chicago is of
the opinion now that the foot may be
saved, and will make another visit
here in few days.
Mr. Pierce, who lives on Blake
street, was on a run between James.

from his supper when he sustained the

Small Attendance at Lodi
At Lodi there was not such a large
crowd as anticipated. There was a
ball game between Merrimack and
Lodi, which resulted in score of 10
to 6 in favor of Merrimack. Several
from Baraboo were in attendance.
Fine Parade at Reedsburg
The Fourth in Reedsburg was large
ly attended by people from the sur
rounding towns and villages, and
many came from Baraboo by train
and autos. The parade was one of
the finest and largest ever witnessed
in the city. Nearly all of the business
places were represented. The boys
of 1776 were present with fife and
drum; the early settler with his OK
team and family was also there. One
of the floats represented the wives
of the soldiers in the civil war as they
were knitting and sewing for the
loved ones who had gone to the front.
Young America was also present.
The w. G. T. u. had an exceptional

Real Fire Alarm Sounds
The firemen had hardly returned to
the engine house when the fire alarm
was given. The blaze was In the
shops of the West Side Lumber Co.,
now known as Birmingham & Hixon,
on the west side. How the fire start
ed is mystery. The shop is a wreck.
That no one was hurt in the excite
ment is miracle, as the streets were
crowded with people, teams and au-
tomobiles. Traffic was stopped across
the bridge and ropes were drawn
across the street to keep the crowd
back
After the fire there was an il1umin-
ated parade, at which over 200 autos
were in line. After the parade, the
people found their way to the chau.
tauqua and the dance.
