Last Friday night, Chas. Burpee gave a dance in his recently completed big new barn, at Christie. M. C. Ring and R. M. Campbell went there, after Rob had finished his part of singing at the Milkmaid's Convention, held here in Neillsville. They reported a very enjoyable time at the dance. Burpee has been requested to give another dance in his new barn. That dance will be held on the evening of July 3rd
