Life in Viroqua from the Vernon County Censor:
APRIL 15, 1925
Appropriate and impressive Easter services were held in nearly all of the Viroqua churches last Sunday. Fragrant Easter lilies and other blossoms were used to decorate the pulpits in honor of the day. The weather was perfect and it seemed like everybody went to church.

APRIL 8, 1925
The season for trout fishing in this state opens May first and NOT April first as is the impression of many who have been seen on the creeks the past week. Remember that every Izaak Walton League member is obligated to report all offending parties. So look out for your bacon. Why not wait until May first and give us all a chance. That’s the real sportsmanlike attitude.
The Viroqua police officers have been conducting a vigorous campaign against violators of our arterial ordinance the past week and as a result fifteen have been arrested and fined.
Quite a little excitement was caused Tuesday morning by the report that the window in Chas. S. Slack’s business place had been pierced by a bullet. A small round hole was made and it did seem that a shot had been fired through, but diligent search failed to reveal a bullet, but a small rock was found and the plausible explanation is that the pebble was picked up and thrown by an automobile.
Red Mound April – Resner Axlen had the misfortune to lose two of his nice Holstein cows, and sent at once for a veterinary who thought it was anthrax and to be sure sent in a blood test to Madison... Spring work is being rapidly pushed too conserve the little moisture there is. A few are done seeding.
