Gleanings

Postmaster Hartson has received the first invoice of postage stamp books. The stamps are of the two cent denominations and are bound in small books of 12,24 and 48 stamps each, and are sold at an advance of one cent each to cover cost of manufacture. The pages are of six stamps each, interleaved with paraffined paper to prevent premature adhesion, making a book of convenient size to carry in the pocket or pocketbook. Greenwood is one of the very few small offices to have received them so far, and we believe the first in this county.

A daughter was born on Thursday to Rev. and Mrs. Paul Hull. Thursday was the birthday of her majesty Queen Victoria and Rev. and Mrs. Hull being former subjects of the queen promptly named their little daughter Victoria in honor of England's beloved queen.--Stanley Republican.

While Rev. Hull was here Wednesday he stated that the above omitted the little girl's first name which is Pauline. Only Mr. Hull was a former subject of the queen. Here are best wishes for Pauline Victoria Hull.

Fred Vine, of the Lac du Flambeau Indian Agency, is visiting in this vicinity. He expects to be placed in charge of work at Yanktown, S. D., in the near future.

D.M. Watson and son Loren were down to Neillsville Thursday to see about an operation for appendicitis, from which the lad has been suffering more or less since winter. The operation was not performed then, but they went down again Wednesday when it probably will be. Drs Kennedy and Matheson, assisted by an Eau Caire physician, will perform the operation.

Greenwood is to have another fraternal society. It will be known as the Husling Knights of Woodcraft. It is a purely social organization, composed only of Modern Woodmen. A petition for charter has already gone in and it is signed by over twenty Woodmen so that without a doubt the organization will be perfected here.

By the way, that lumber yard that we are hoping to see come in, ought to be duly appreciated if it were here now. The way a few hundred feet of lumber that happens to be lying around for a few days is run after to see if the owner would sell it, shows how a good yard would be appreciated.

Monday his mother was with him most of the day, but in the afternoon when she went out, locked him in a room, upon her return, he had disappeared. The boy was seen going north on the "Foster" road near this city Tuesday morning by Geo. Philips of Warner, whom he asked not to tell anybody that he had seen him. He was bare footed and scantily dressed.

For the past week,or more M. Marvin, who is over 80 years old, has been in a very low condition, so that his demise was expected at most any time.

The pedal of the wheel struck the boy over one of his eyes and if it had been an inch lower the result to the eye would have been serious. Willie stopped the wheel as soon as he could and did all possible to help the boy.
