WE have now new and complete
stock of fiannels. We have several kinds
of white and other fannels that will
shrink but very little. 1t is not general
ly known, and we would advise those
who do not know, that to prevent fan
mel from shrinking much, it is necessary
TO ring it in lukewarm, and not in cold
water. j. SCHUETTE & Bros.
A GREAT many people think that the
only attractions Two Rivers has as a
summer resort, are its city charter and
a great mistake as witness the following
facts: In Two Rivers lives Hallock,
whose wit and genial good nature can
charm the best cigar from an editors
pocket, and who can gather, inside Of
week, animals enough, including a shad,
to make dozen menageries. There too
lives editor Nash, whose peculiar smile
and knowing wink would mollify whole
army of communists. Near Two Rivers
is one OF the largest light houses on the
lakes, managed by that wonderful man,
Sam Stone, whom dozen doctors were
not able to kill. Two Rivers has the
most kind and gentlemanly railroad
agent in the world, except perhaps our
own Ryder The bracing air and beau
tiful situation of the place enable the
citizens to live SO long that the hinges of
the cemetery gates are eaten by rust and
the doctors mourn for custom, which like
the waTton lover in the song, cometh not.
Nature, too, seems to have done her ut
most for this fortunate place. A short
distance from the city are natural groves,
of sweet scented balsams, silver birchos,
towering pines, and cedars, whose beauty
rivals that of the cedars of Lebanon. On
the edges of these groves and along the
baSks of the murmuring rivers, can be
found all the flowers that are native of
this latitude, from the tall golden-rod, to
the tiniest hare-bell. While some of the
groves are carpeted by the most beauti-
full MOSES, aud by a variety of ferns that
is fairly bewildering, the whole forming
resting place so cool, soft and fragrant
that dainty Ariel himself might deign to
abide there. Verify Two Rivers is a
most beautiful place and the dwellers
thereof are exceedingly fortunate.
WE can sell the best goods cheap
er than any one else because we buy in
large quantities and have the lowest ex-
penses. Il. e. J. ROBINSON.
AT the examination of teachers for
State certificates held at Madison last
week, certificates of the first class were
issued to the following named persons.
Nj. McMahon, Kewaunee, Sercomb, Mil
waukee, Dwight Kenny, Darlington, \.
A. Miller Waukesha. Certificates au-
thorizing the holder to teach in any
school in the state for five years: Miss
Mary Lantry and Miss Salisbury. There
We're sixteen applicants. Every applicant
who essayed this year for the first time
failed.
Mr.. Mediation, was a resident Of Nee
me, this county and with the exception
of two years spent at the Oshkosh Nor
NAL School. acquired his education solely
through his own efforts. His success is
a good example of what can be done
through application. Miss Lantry is q
resident of this city and also unites in
dustry with good mental powers Man
itowoc county has reason to be we'll
satisfied with the standing it has acquired
in educational circles, through the energy
and ambition of such persons as Mr..
McMahon and Miss Lantry.
THE institute now in session in this
city compares favorably with any that
has been previously held in this city.
Up to the time of writing, there have
been SO regular attendants. Much credit
is due Supt. Walker in securing the
services of the Nestor of Institutes, Prof.
Graham, instead of the many expert
mentors who are now engaged IL insti-
tute work. Prof. Graham's ability is so
we'll recognized in this county and his
personal popularity among the teachers
and citizens, generally, is such, that any
institute conducted by him, has the most
ample assurance of unqualified success.
Teachers feel that they will be fully
compensated for the expenditure Of time
and labor, in increased knowledge of all
things pertaining to their profession, and
III consequence, their presence indicates
a desire to improve rather than a
polite courtesy to the ''powers that be.
OVER 400 persons made the excursion
from Manitowoc to Appleton on Sunday
last. With the exception of one feature,
every thing connected with the affair
passed eff pleasantly. \ number who
made the trip were of the opinion that
the omission to bring q quantity of beer
in kegs, from this city to the Park where
the festivities were held, would have
made the majority of the excursionists
feel that there was less to criticise in the
excursion. 1t is said that q number who
intended to make the trip, were dissuad-
ed from doing SO On account Of the ques
tionable taste of taking along cargo of
beer.
