Word has been received here of the
very serious illness of little Billy
Smoker, who is in the Muirdale San
itarium near Milwaukee. This little
fellow will be remembered by people
here, as he was of very lovable ma
ture. He was the youngest child OF the
late Mrs Ed. Smoker, and is victim
of tuberculosis. He was unable to
stand erect, as the disease had at
tackled the spinal column. He wa,
sent to the sanitarium in the hopes o.
benefitting him, and for while he did
seem to improve, but late news of him
does not give much hope of recovery.

P. A. Bishop is home from a six
weeks trip of Wisconsin and Michigan
fairs, where he has acted in the ca
pacity of the official race starter. He
officiated at MaustOn, Berlin, Amigo,
Rhinelander, Ashland and Ironwood,
Michigan, where he was confronted
with a good field of horses at every
meeting. Mr. Bishop stated that the
secretary of the IronwOod fair in
formed him that five years ago there
were just two blooded animals exhib-
iting for premiums while this year
there were one hundred and seventy
four showing for premium. He furth-

largest exhibit of live stock shown
that he has seen at any county fair.

very pleasant season, but is back now

past master.
A most excellent piece of work is
in progress on the Cuba City road at
the Weigel corner, where they are
cutting off the extreme sharpness of
the turn there and making it a good
big round one. This has always ap-
peared to be a dangerous curve, al
though not as many serious accidents
have occurred there as at the Hayden
corner on the Dubuque road. 1t
would be a wise thing to treat that
corner as the Weigel turn is being
fixed.
