"REMINISCENCES

The venerable Frank Brainerd, who
still considers himself young III spite
of his eighty odd years, was in the city
Monday from the Chippewa. He was
inuuiring where he could buy good
secondhand typewriter: said he would
prefer to use one instead of a pen.
Though he has never had any expert
ence operating mechanical writer,
he thinks he can soon learn to. His
work in his younger days was largely
handling sawlogs. SiXty-three years
ago this month he was engaged IN pill
ing up logs and burning them on the
'sFlambeau farm" 16 miles southeast
of the site of Ladysmith, when the
Daniel Shaw Lumber Co. started to
clear his farm, Which has since ac-
ouired considerable fame as an agrl-
cultural estate in this part OF the c0un-
try. Mr.. Brainerd said that if it had
not been for the State of Mainers-he
was born in Maine-the world war
would be going on yet.

know what corduroy is, unless It's
corduroy pants. 1t took Leroy McGlll
TO show 'em. You wouldn't think that
Roy would know what corduroy is,
either-heS a lawyer-but he does.
He was travelling toward home from
Mobile a couple of weeks ago III a f1lv-
YER and cot as far as Decatur. Alabama.
when he came to bad spot in the road
"a very bad spot. There were nine
cars stuck in the mud right ahead OF
him, and cracker" with span OF
mules was busily engaged in pulling
out those cars at five dollars per pull.
He said something in an undertone to
Ezra Hess who was riding with him as
ballast. and got out and investigated.
At one side of the regular Travelled
track he took slant at the terrain ana
then at some SassafraS SapllngS grow
ING alongside and said. 1T is good.
In half hour he had nice little
corduroy Improvement across the worst
part of the bad spot. With Whoop he
stepped on her" and went across with
out further ado leaving a number OF
y n-mOuthed southern gentlemen
gaping at him. But when he reached
the Tennessee river a little further on.
he found that stream four miles wide.
The bottom lands being Hooded with
high water. and the corduroy Scheme
inpractitaf there so he sold his bu2
and invested the proceeds in railroad
tickets and war tax and came on home
by rail.

continuous publication and entered up
on its twenty-siXth volume.
Established by our present county
clerk, f. E. MunrOe, at ApollOnia, when
this was then the wilds of upper Chip
peWa county, this paper is older than
either LadySmith or RuSk county.
For over thirteen Hundred weeks
without missing an issue, it has faith
fully chrOnicled the news and portrayed
the growth, Improvement and develop
ment of that part of the great Badger
state that has been its field.
It's files. all intact. are complete
and detailed history of Ladysmith and
Rusk county from their birth until to-
day.
During its quarter of a century of
Iieye it can safely be said that the III
fuencc and earnest support OF this
newspaper have almost without eXcep-
tfon been behind every proposition OF
movement that meant betterment OF
city or county.
Most wonderful has been the deyel-
opment and progress that il has wit
lcseed. Particularly in recent years
I.adyrlnith and Rusk county have beer
forging ahead by leaps and bounds.
The Npws-Budget is trying hard tf
hit fast enough pace TO keep up witt

To every man and every woman who

For the facts developed by this great

are at work in America-and what kind
of country this country is to be.
The Interchurch World MOveny tent
is evidence that business men are real
izing what business owes to Christ, and
in the name of Him the Protestant
churches of North America make the
following appeal:
Men thought Jesus Christ a dreamer

George Heaverin, of Apollonia isn't
much of fellow to indulge in vain re-
grets, but it is easy to see that he
would be in a happier frame OF mind
today if ApOllOnia was the present
county seat of Rusk county. George
has spent seventy years in Wisconsin,
coming to this state frOni Louisville.
Kentucky, near which pace he was
born. Twenty-nine years he has passed
along Chippewa waters, III Chippewa
and Rusk counties Two years before
Rusk county was created the time was
ripe. he said, for splitting old Chippewa
and creating new one from It's
northern part with ApOllOnia as the
county seat. He and the late Emory
Hill Matched plan at that time TO
execute the dividing process through
the legislature as was done later by
others. They needed the assistance OF
the late Frank Stevens, then a power
in northern Chippewa. Stevens couldn't
see it the way they did and would not
enter into it: so the matter LAID
dormant until other men with other
interests took the matter up and after
a bitter fight in the Legislature and
through the courts the new county was
put on the map. For two years 1t car
ried the name of Gates, but the legis-
lature changed it to Rusk in honor OF
Jeremiah NJ Rusk. former governor
of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Heaverin said that he might as
web be worth 100000 now, as any other
sum. if Stevens had seen the project as
Hill and he did.
