W.D. Rose transacted business at Withee on Monday.

Chas. Neinas left Tuesday on a combination business and pleasure tript to Chicago and Piano, Ill., and Milwaukee and Appleton, Wis.

Fred Hart has installed a large gasoline engine and meat grinder in his butcher shop.  The engine he purchased from W.J. Thayer.

Mrs. Herman Wegner, who has been indisposed for several weeks past, is able to be up and around again.

Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Beeckler went to Fond du Lac last week Thursday.  They are since visiting at Sheboygan and Waldo.

Mrs. Amelia Davis has erected a horse barn on her farm.  Ernest Crevecour did the carpenter work.

Mrs. Christ Guenther had the misfortune to dislocate her left shoulder through a fall from the proch one day last week.

Miss Mabel Welsh and her little daughter Arlene came home from Eau Claire Wednesday.  The little one apparently well on the road to recovery.

Gene Anderson, brother of Mrs. Peter Paulson, was taken ill with appendicitis at Neillsville and was taken to the Marshfield hospital for an operation on Tuesday.

Grandmas Williams, who live with her son Henry, while going up the steps of the back porch one night last week, fell and struck her head against a milk can and suffered painful injuries about her face.

The gasoline engine in the News office went on a strike last Tuesday just as we were going to put our Linotype machine into operation and if it hadn’t been for the generosity of W.J. Thayer who volunteered to loan us his new engine, a Stickney, we probably would have been unable to publish on time.  We were so well pleased with the new engine that we decided to purchase it after a day’s trial.

We are experiencing most unusual weather here for this time of the year.  This the 3^rd day of December sees many signs of spring, both out of doors and in.  Dandelions are in blossom, rose bushes leafing out, lilac bushes budding, pansies coming up self-sown, etc. while indoors spider scurry about and flies are numerous.
