LAKE PEwAuKEE. July 27.-This headquarters
OF rural retreats is again In full tide, but with
increased facilities for adding to the tastes and
pleasures OF the sojourncr over all previous
seasons. First, the village itself is more at
tractiye than before, having become incorpo-
rated, during the past year, with an honest
Board OF Trustees, pledged to economy, with
Mayor Bo]les ut its head. Judge Parks presidcs
in the Police Court, and, with Officers Pope aud
Parsons as his aids but little chance is given for
the success Of yagabondism, which is an irl-
proyemcnt on former years; while the streets,
sidewalks, bridges, ETC., all show that day OF
reformation has arrived. During tho past
season drug and jewclry-storcs have been built
and occupied. A cheese factory, mcrchant-nlill,
and steam cracker factory, are all in full
operation, and the lime Of Pewaukec, shipped
from here in large quantities, has
been known for years in Chicago Us the best in the
market.
The village and immediate surroundings are
by Nature delightful to the eye at this season Of
tho year, and, if ever built up, rurul village
would be one of great beauty.
