MEME.

Carey start for Chicago tomorrow.
Our schools are nearly all closed for
the holidays.
Large quantities of oak timber are be-
ing taken from here to Manitowoc.
DR.. P. E. Nagle of Ann Arbor. Michi-
gan, is visiting friends here. His good
natured, aflable counteuance is always
welcome in this, the home of his boy
hood
Coed sleighing now and every one is
reioiced thereat.
Farmers find it very difficult to pay
their taxes. The year has been very OPP
pressive and the taxes are none too light.
s splendid time was had at the concert
last evening aud the entertainment that
followed was a complete success. A nice
sum was realized.
Santa Claus visited all the good little
children on Christmas eve. He found
plenty to do, but he performed his task
most willingly.
Pat Burns won't sell any more oak
timber. He disposed of few sticks and
he mourneth much thereat. He is now
in an Americans" quandary.
Dennis White drives the fastest horse
in the neighborhood. He handles the
ribbons with the care and dexterity of a
perfect master.
Anton Walterbach has remodeled and
refitted the wagon and carriage shop
which formerly belonged to Geo. Doersch
and will open it as a cheese factory in
the early spring. Quincy Danforth has
finally rented Ohse's factory and viii
commence the manufacture of cheese as
soon as the season opens. AS an illus
tration showing how the cheese business
pays we will quote from figures handed
us last week by John l.. Edwards of this
town. MIR. E. had thirteen mich cows,
no more nor no less during the season.
4 He commenced taking milk to Ulm's
cheese factory on the 18th day of April
and ended on the 22nd of November.
| During that time he delivered 55,674
pounds of milk for which he received
/ S517.27 or an average of nearly $40 for
| each COW. Besides this he made suff
cient butter to supply large family.
This is certainly very profitable show
ing but we understand it has been beaten
| by August Stolzman and other men of
this township.
The members of the county board have
learned with regret of the resignation of
their fellow member G. w. White. The
chairmen of the "rural deestricts" were
so accustomed to follow his able and aifa-
ble leadership that he will be soreiy
missed and tears of regret will gently fall
from their sorrowful eyelids when they
contemplate his sudden ''taking off
With regret too they have learned of his
appointment to the city attorneyship.
To use vulgar but expressive phrase,
/ Charlie is a ripper. Already he has com
menced to whack everything in the
count, lying aud being situate outside
the city limits. The members of the
county board have been served with
/ notice which originated in Charles brain
/ and which would do credit to Black
stone or Rafferty,, probably the latter
/ With q genius chat is altogether remark
able ne asks the circuit Judge to appoint
three commissioners to review the recent
action OF the county board in regard to
/ the apportionment of taxes in order to
/ produce just valuation between all the
real estate of the county. Why he ex-
cludes the person al property of the coun-
/ ty from being ''sat upon" we don't know;
! probably the law does not allow it and,
without doubt, the city attorney is ex-
tremely happy that it is excluded. Real
estate, then, and real estate alone, must
be reviewed" Charley is friend of
ours and hence we will give him u cue
from which he can gather a rich case to
present to the commissioners. Here it is:
A certain very large grist mill in Man
ltowoc which does an immense business
Is real estate. 1t, together with the land
upon which i is situated, is assessed at
Tue enormous sum of $4,000, Now for
| the contrast. a certain very small grist
mill IN Meme which does only very
| limited custom work, is assessed at the
extremely low figure of Sc, 500. This is
| terrible. The mill in Manitowoc assess
ed so high and the one III Meme so low
Whose fault is Il? A word to the wise
j sufficient, and if you work upon this
mill question, Charlie, you must aud will
triumph.
The Tribune's polluted editor is as
angry as born idiot possibly can become
because MIR. Carey of this town refuses
to take his paper. True, Mr.. Carey is
rather ''close listed" in his general make
up and does not like to pay any money
when he receives no real nor imaginary
benefit in return. Besides, even since
he became democrat he is opposed to
| obscene literature, and hence the filthy
Tribune as carefully excluded from his
residence. In this course, if in no other,
be is in perfect harmony with the re-
spectacle republicans of the county, as
20 man of that party having the moral
welfare Of his family at heart will allow
the loathesome sheet to enter his door.
And speaking of the Tribune, allow us
TO say that the laseiyious quadruped who
funs Is says that he is not ashamed of
eighteen years plus two years Of his acci-
dental existence and is willing 30 leave
his personal record during that time to
bis few acquaintances. He says this too,
as an argument against Mr.. Carey's
/ course on the county board. Of course
