Saturday, April 17, 1897 Appleton Post: There is at least one consolation that the office-seekers have had while the president has been indulging in a vacation. The other fellows have not been appointed during his absence. One of the Pages in the senate, a boy 11 years old, made a forcible plea for the passage of the anti-cigarette bill on the floor of the Senate the other day. He has been christened "the boy orator of the legislature." Spring Millinery Opening We wish to announce to the citizens of Friendship and vicinity that an Opening Sale of Spring and Summer Millinery goods will be held at the Millinery Parlors, April 20th, 1897, from half past one until five p. m. In the evening from half past seven until half past ten. A Prize hat is offered to ladies and gentlemen. A guess is given on the price of the hat for the nominal sum of ten cents a guess.
