GRANT COUNTY HERALD, LANCASTER, WISCONSIN, WED NESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1916.
—Mrs. B. D. Smith has been ill for
the past week with an attack of grip.
—Mr. and Mrs. Alma Noble of Ellen
boro, are parents of a baby boy, born
Saturday, Dec. 22. Mr. and Mrs. Jess
also living in Ellenboro, are parents
of a baby girl, born Jan. 23.
—Mrs. W. S. Sandilans returned to

—Mr. and Mrs. John Stitzer, of Mt.
Hope, are parents of a baby girl born
Saturday, January 22.
—Mrs. Florence Schmidt, of Excel
sior, Wis., returned home Monday af
ternoon. Mrs. Schmidt attended the

lis.
—John Bathon, of Wilmont, Minn.,
has been visiting in Lancaster and vi
cinity for the past few weeks with
friends and relatives. Mr. Bathon left
Grant county thirty-two years ago and
homesteaded in western Minnesota,

still has a warm spot in his heart for

—Dr. Ernest Wray O’Neal, pastor
of the Joliet, 111., Methodist church,
lectured Thursday evening at the
Hatch opera house on “Popular Fal
lacies.” One of the popular fallacies
according to Dr. O’Neal is that bodily
health has nothing to do with success.
Another, that intellect can take the
place of character. The attendance
was good and the audience thoroughly
appreciative.
—Manager Hatch presented “The
Trail of the Lonesome Pine” Monday
evening to an audience which was just
about half the size the merit of the
production demanded. Mr. Hatch has
made some excellent offerings this
season, but it would seem that his ef
forts to get the best are not thorough
ly appreciated. The company present
ing this adaptation of John Fox, Jr’s,
novel, were excellent actors through
out particularly Frank Ireson, who
will be remembered as “Uncle Billy”
in “That Printer of Udell’s.” Mr. Ire
son is adapted physically and mentally
to play lovable old men’s parts to per
fection, and his performance as “Uncle
Billy” in Monday evening’s play was
right up to his standard. The rest of
the company was well balanced and
each rendered his part with artistic
correctness. As Huck Finn says,
“There may be other shows better than
this one, but it’s plenty good enough
for me, and they’ll get my patronage
every time they come to a town where
I am.” (Huck sneaked his way un
der the tent when no one was look
ing.)
