Alice Wendel has finished the dressmaking course at Marshfield. She came home Thursday and returned again Monday to sew for a while.

Irene Heath went to Withee Saturday evening to visit a friend. She returned Sunday afternoon.

A.W. Stewart and wife were at March a few days last week. Al went fishing and caught one fish.

Mrs. M. Blankinship and little son, of Zion came home Thursday evening for an extended visit.

Jesse Bradley having recovered from the smallpox and being released from the pest house came home from Wausau Friday none the worse for wear. D. M. Hanson went to Mayville Saturday morning to spend a few days with his aged father, who is quite feeble.

Atty. F. F. Groelle of Stevens Point made our village a call one day last week.

Bert Ross and family moved last week into the house recently purchased by Mr. Duitman.

Allan Johnston has been quite ill with pneumonia and Sunday J. W. Gardiner had him removed to his home that he might receive better care. It is a case of a father neglecting his sick and motherless son, to follow drink.

Last Friday evening a crowd of our young people went to a social up at Frank Picket’s new house.

Those in attendance were: J. W. Gardiner and wife, Misses Finch, Biggar, Heath, Crowell, Hanson, Damon, and Griffin and Mrs. Damon and Whitmore.

Oh yes! And Will LaFever went too but he - well, he didn’t go in the load. All enjoyed the social very much and as for the new house the old "house of seven gables" can not compare with this one of eleven gables. One young lady was heard to remark that she would like to live there, but you must promise not to tell the young man who lives there.

The dance, which was arranged for two weeks ago is to be given Friday evening at Radllof’s hall.
