IA movements is afoot among some of our
most influential citizens to induce Rev. G.
| Caverno, to deliver his really fine lecture
entitled aBoots,'' at this place during tie
hohdaystor thereabohts. We hope By all
means that the movetne Will be success
ful. 1t is one of the. most original and
pleasing lectures we have ever heard and is
just the thing to stir up inteile ctually. We
need as g people just such mental food as.
this lecture furnishes, and we hope that if
Mr.. Caverno comes, he will be greeted with
one of those "tip top" audiences Fort At

Considerable dissatisfaction is expressed
BY many of the prominent citizens Of the
village Of Jefferson, over the recent action
OF the Board Of Supervisors in anpexlno
the southern tier of sections in that town, to
the town of Koshkonong They give the
situation as follows +ef5
lst. In equity the ceded territory is re-
spcnsible for its share Of the Indebtedness of
the whole.
I'd. That prorata share of the tax for
previous indebted ness will certainly be lev
led on the property holders Of these sections
which in all probability they resist. This
will end in long course of litigation, ex-
pen sive to both parties. To us it seems as
If the first position was a just one, although
we do not know what the law is on that
subject. We are decidedly in favor of re-
ceiving these sections, providing it can be
done in justice to all, but If it is going to
entail lawsuits and bad feelings between
towns, we are not infayor of it. Union

There is not town Of its size in the State
that ships near as much butter as Waterloo
does. 1t is not an uncommon sight to see
rom ten to twenty wagon loads at the de-
pot awaiting shipment
It is expected that the C hrstmas ball in
the Badger State Hall will prove the at.

The small boys of this village are about
as precocious a SET as one will meet with
