SPENCER, WIS. HOME ITEMS

John Affolder has purchased the building formerly owned by S. H. West, east of the Baptist church and is furnishing it for a furniture store.  We might suggest that the upper story would make a good dwelling, but as John belongs to the fraternity of bachelorhood, such an idea would be out of place.
