to our thriving town, for we believe it is
composed OF representative men Of the
section from which they come, and the

them competitors worthy of their muscle.

prevail and that our citizens will exert
themselves to make their visit pleasant
in every respect. .........Mr. }. a. kahler

gentlemen took an excursion ON the
steamer Honitoaooc, to Kewat1nee and
Wolf River The day was very fine and
no better one could have been selected.

ant time, it does not half express the
pleasure enjoyed by all who took part
in it..........The latest evidence of the
rapid growth of Manitowoc, and with it
all the concomitants of a great city, is the
opening of a concert saloon. The

The South pier has received eighteen
new cribs. This carries it out nearly as
