Our new churches, Evangelical and Baptist, are nearing completion.

S. H. Hugaboom and wife have returned from Oshkosh. While away they bought a large lot of furniture to adorn the newly finished rooms in the Central.

Mrs. Geo. Bramble returned home yesterday, from a trip to Weyauwega, Wis. We hear that Mrs. Bramble is to open a millinery shop. This is a want long felt in our community. We hope rumor is well founded.

Miss Lela Evans left town on Monday last, for Green Bay, where she contemplates a two month’s visit. She was accompanied on her trip by her brother John Evans, of Green Bay.

We had extensive ‘cyclone’ one day this week. It carried Foster’s mustache away, as though it were a feather. No other lives lost.

B. G. Miltimore and his sister, Miss. Eliza, left town yesterday for a short trip down the line. This is the first vacation "Brad" ever took.

Mr. D. O. Miltimore visited in town the first of the week. He has just returned from a trip to California.
