PRESTO CHANGE

OHANY strange things
JUk have happened during
this war but none more
strange than the remarkable
change which has come in the
fortunes of Nicholas Romanoff
during the past six months.
Only a short time back he was
the czar of all the Russians
with an authority such as no
other potentate possessed. To-
day he is an exile in the Siberia
to which his word had banish-
ed tens of thousands of his sub
jects, many of whom never
came back. Many of these
prisoners have been released
and are now back in Russia.
The change of position has
been accomplished with but lit
tie shedding of blood. Verify, |
the world is moving.

OF our fine constituency and large cir

FENNIMORE TIMES TOPICS.

Ed. P Mcclure was badly hurt last
week in the Lampe-Highland mine, a
large rock fell on him, breaking his
leg in two places and brising his body
severely.
Perry Munns has sold his fine 16O-
acre farm north of town and with his
family expects to move to Fennimore
as soon as he can find a suitable loca-
ton. The Munns family have lived on
the same place for about As years. 1875
acres of the farm were sold to Albert
Mauer at $3.50 per acre, also all the
stock and everything on the place, and
AL expects to move on the place in the
spring. The other thirty-five acres
were bought by Henry Gehrke, the
land adjoining his. The deal was
made through the Fennimore Land Co.
Neighbors to the number of nearly
fifty gathered at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Perry Munns, north of town. on
Monday evening for social good time.
The women came with well-filled bas-
kets and pals of oysters and good will
in their hearts. The men had a de-
bate on which was the best cheese
or separator and if Prof. keenan, had
been there he would hardly have had
chance to say word Everybody
had a most enjoyable time and the
Munns family are indeed loath to part
with their old friends in the Bethel
neighborhood, whom they assert are
the best ever. They have sold their
farm which has been in the possession
OF the Munns family since 1916, when
Mr.. NUNS father, Squire Robert
Munns, the first justice in the town, re-
ceived it from the government and
moved on the place in 1916. It has
been the home of Mr. Munns for sixty
eight years continuously and where
they have spent their entire married
life. Small wonder is it then, that
heart pangs are felt in leaving the old
place, every foot of which is dear to
them. But they are getting along in
years and Mrs Munns' health is none
too good and they deserve to take life
comparatively easy. They have rent
ed the Dempsey home in the north
part of town, the property of the late
VIM. Marsden, and expect to move to
town Thursday. Such desirable citi-
zens are surely welcome to Fennimore.

INGLY OF OLD HERALD AND
EARLY LANCASTER DAYS.
Editor Grant County Herald:

Editor Grant County Herald:
His honor, the mayor Of Lancaster,
recently sent me two copies of the
Herald and as l served part of my ap-
premiership under Cover & Goldsmith,
1855, 81, it was with much pleasure
that l read its pages in eager search
for some name familiar in the days
that / spent so happily in the old Her.
aid office. Halister was foreman when
[ started in. Lon. G. LaGrave, follow
ed me as devil, and John Barnet, fol-
lowed LaGrave, and 1 was foreman.
The Herald was then a folio, four
pages, and had circulation Of $500,
and was the best county newspaper
in Wisconsin. Cover was a good writ
er, and his editorials were quoted far
and near. Goldsmith was a good
printer and had served his time with
Harper Bros, N. Y.
The Herald was then printed on a
Washington hand-press, and it was no
small job to make 5000 impressions
each, week, and LaGrave and I renewed
our strength with case of ale, which
was kept in a cellar under the office
To reach this secret vault we had to
pass through Judge McGonigals. front
yard, and in doing so passed his kitch-
en- door, and his good wife also used
the cellar to cool her baking which
largely consisted of cakes, cookies and
pies, and she always had a supply on
press day. which he was ever ready to
divide with us.
Now, this was long time ago, and
Lancaster was not a city. But 1 can
remember when there were 10000
people gathered in the woods in town
and on the prairies around and about
the town. The occasion was the hang
ing Of Brewer for the murder of Dr.
Lawson. l was witness Of the event,
want to see another.
Governor Dewey, the first territorial
governor of Wisconsin and the first
governor after the state was admitted
to the union, lived in Lancaster, and
when [ was nine or ten years old
spent many pleasant hours at his home
or in the old court house listening to
Ills WISE anu always. interesting COIL
versatiOn.
| suppose there are some old per-
sons who read your paper who will
remember a STAKEHOLDER who brought
twenty or thirty slaves to Grant coun-
ty with the purpose Of making slave
territory Of Wisconsin. I suppose
many Of their descendants read the
Herald.
Isaac Shepherd was the head of the
colony. When the state was admitted
to the union, without slavery, Mr.
Horner, the owner of the slaves gave
them a tract Of timber land six or sew
EN- miles west or southwest of town
where they improved the same, reared
their children and educated them.
Shepherd was noted for his honesty
and industry. It was said of him:
''His word is as good as bond!"
