No news has appeared from this place for several weeks. Their absence was due to several reasons, 1st, the writer was told that no one read them anyway; 2nd, so much was happening that it was hard to decide what to put in and what to leave unsaid. But 3rd, and perhaps the more logical reason was that an unusual press of work has taken up all the correspondent's time.

Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Nudd of Lena, Ill., spent part of their honeymoon at Willard, going from here to Milwaukee. While here they were royally entertained at the homes of Wm. Dammeier and A.C. Altenbern.

John Olson and his four helpers came Monday morning and are now busily engaged in erecting a new house for A.L. Clair. The Greenwood Heading and Lumber Co. has secured the contract to finish the complete bill and shipped a car of lumber in on the Saturday previous.

Ignac Cesnik is in Joliet, Ill. on business connected with a land deal.

A number of young people from Greenwood had a picnic at Willard one evening last week.

John Sater of Price was a business caller on Monday.

D.S. Holsinger has nearly completed the cellar wall for R.R. Thomas' house.

Mr. Walters, the Greenwood Plasterer, was here Thursday and secured the contract to plaster the house of R.R. Thomas and A.L. Clair.

Already Willard has some things that others wish to model after. The Gorman settlers are planning to build a schoolhouse, just like the one here.

John Koshier is making hay for D.S. Holsinger.

Wm. Dammeier has purchased a horse of Wm. Abel.

Geo. Hintz has the prize cucumber field of Willard.

Mrs. A.L. Claire has been under the doctor's care the past week. She is suffering with a very lame back. She is better at this writing.

Mrs. Harvey Long assisted Mr. Clair on Friday.
