Miss Grace Hutchins of Oakfield,
Wisconsin, is visiting few days at
the home of her friend, Miss Ruth
Holland.
Rev. Gilroy of Fond du Lac held
services at the Congregational church
Sunday evening. He gave sermon
which was we'll worth listening to and
which was enjoyed greatly by the few
present.
Remember the big dance this COM
ing Thursday. The Hazel Crawford
Orchestra, the best in Northern Wis
consin is to furnish the music. Al
PRAY, the star man with the scru D.
bling brush, is to have charge of fixing
up the floor. Therefore there will be
good music and good floor; come
out and help make a good crowd $"
there can be more of these parties.
| am told the Phelps baseball team
iourneyed to Watersmeet Sunday to
play ball. Evidently the journey
over the rough roads between Phelps
and Watersmeet was too much for
them as they were so tired after their
hard ride that they could only stand
up through four innings. Up to that
time it was a good game, to 1 in
Phelps favor, by the way, but sad to
relate there were nine innings in the
game which considerably changed the
score. Let Watersmeet tell the finals
which were IA to A.
Miss Billie Burke entertained, to-
gether with "Fatty' Arbuckle, at the
Happy Hour Theatre last Saturday
evening. 1t is understood that Doug
las Fairbanks is to be here this coming
Saturday evening, so it will well
repay everyone to come. Douglas
generally performs better in front OF
a large crowd.
Remember Tarzan of the Apes,
serial number two entitled ''The
Romance of Tarzan" will be here on
the 23rd of August.
Fred Kildow, the scout master OF
this section, is to give the boys OF
Phelps weeks outing down on
Spectacle lake. Such things are
great for the boys as it helps to make
men of them and they are very fol-
tunate to have such an able scout
master as Mr.. Kildow.
Say, did you know that Phelps is
having some building program this
season 1t is surprising the number
of houses and barns that are springlne
up all around. Robert Marti's new
home is near enough to completion SC
that he has already moved in. Louis
Reightley has also partially moved tc
his new home overlooking Big Twin
and the Eagle River road. Carl Lar
son is putting the finishing touches
on his place located just east of town.
Then out on the Hazen road there are
still other activities. Mr.. Mackay,
Senior is busily engaged laying the
foundation for his new home. He is
located cornering on the Alvin and
4
Mr.. Goss who recently purchased an
eighty from the H. P B. Land Dept.
is putting up fine log house. Mr.
Goss is hustler and will soon have q
nice place. At the corner where the
Camp Three road branches off from
the Hazen Road, still another house
has gone up and the gentleman who
is located there, name unknown, has
already made considerable of a clear
ing. Besides all of these houses that
haye been built, there are barns with
out number that have gone up this
year to hold these immense crops Oi
hay and grains. Things certainly
look good this year for the Phelps
farmers.
w. L. Convey of the Land Depart
ment says next year will see some
very great changes in the country
around Phelps. There are some good
farmers who have bought places this
year and by next summer there will
be great showing. This past week
