Shortville (22 Jun 1916)

(Last Week)
W.J. Winters and family came down from Tripoli Saturday in their new Chevrolet car. Mr. Winters returned home Monday, but Mrs. Winters and children will visit relatives here until after the 4th.

That much talked of undefeated Ridge baseball team, with Ziebell of Neillsville as pitcher, met their Waterloo at Shortville Sunday when they played our baseball team and were defeated by a score of 7-8, and which might have been more had the game been finished. However, it was a good game and both teams made a fine showing.

The Misses Bernice Irish and Hazel Cramer attended the dance at Granton Thursday night.

Mrs. Frank Tupper and Mrs. John Wall of Evansville are here visiting relatives.

Feutz Bros. autoed to Marshfield Saturday afternoon and attended the cheese makers convention there that night.

Irma and Clyde Nelson of Ladysmith and Ralph Nelson of Neillsville are here visiting at the Stevens’ home.

Ruth Carter and Bernice Irish spent Monday and Tuesday visiting at Ed. Short’s and Walter Bell’s.

All the young folks around here attended the barn dance at Ross Galbreath’s Saturday night and they report a most enjoyable time.

One of the worst storms of the season visited us on Monday afternoon. The rain came down in torrents and the ground was white with hail stones.

A.E. Wilding and wife have moved into the Vasgis house on the old Dave Taylor farm.

John Hall returned from North Dakota last week. He reports that crops there are looking good. We are looking for Ed. Hagie to come back soon, too.

Clara Frantz has the John Kauth, or Sleepy Hollow, school for the coming year.
