Sparks, a number of relatives and friends were invited to help celebrate the occasion. There were nineteen present and all did ample justice to the oysters, roast turkey and other good things to eat. Mr. Sparks is in better health now than he was a few weeks ago and still takes a lively interest in the affairs of church and state. ___________________________

Coloma and Vicinity Fred Gloede has moved on to the Fousch farm. A son was born last week Wednesday to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Carlton. Myron Herrick, of Minocqua, has been here the past week or two visiting old friends. John Cardo and little son returned last week from Chicago where they had been to receive treatment in the Pasteur institute for mad dog bites. Miss Cory Turner’s cow, which was bitten by a mad dog about a month ago, was killed yesterday after several days of suffering with hydrophobia. Scores of people came, many from a distance, to see this cow since she was taken ill and no one questions it being a genuine case of that terrible disease. Kill your dog if you value the lives of relatives, neighbors or stock. _______________________________
