MEME.

4 temperance meeting will be held in
the ball next Sunday night. An elabor-
ate and well prepared programme viii
be carried out on the occasion.
Efforts are being made by Mr.. New
house TO secure daily mail to Edwards.
Some immediate change is needed, as all
the mails we receive make complete
circuit of the Lake Shore before they
reach us. So inadequate are the present
mail facilities that it takes eight days to
obtain au answer to letter sent to She
boygan, distance of fourteen miles.
On, Key, wilt thou not have pity on US
and raise the curtain which almost is
olates us from the rest of nankind2
Some person, who seen. ed to be I'M
conscious of the danger that might come
from firing revolver through the win
dows OF an occupied house, scared all the
inmates of the Nlanitowoc House Oh new
years night, by wantonly emptying the
contents of his "seven- shooter" The
balls entered the window and passed
through the ceiling, lodging in the Sec
ond floor. Nobody was injured, though
for few minutes the inmates were par
alyzed with fear. Neither ruffians nor
banditti are SO numerous that a man
need be armed to the teeth in order to
take an evening walk of half mile, and
he who does carry such deadly weapons
and uses them so carelessly can not be
pronounced III normal state of mind.
Ashley, Dixon & Co., the world-re-
nouned illusionists and ventriloquists
stayed at the Manitowoc House last
night. They were on the way to Maple
Grove, to give an exhibition in the
hall of Thos. Mangin, Jan. 10.
2. Phillips has just completed the fin
est residence in the county. The paint
ing, granting, ca.cimining and frescoing
was done by G. Il. Klein, and reflects
credit upon the artist, Mr.. Klein has had
Il number Of years of experience in both
United States and Germany, and but
few modern painters can rival him. And
those who endeavored to dwarf his
growth in Meme must have been IN
aware Of the stamina of the plant which
has SO lately begun to grow in orr midst.
He thinks that the "blue- washers" and
''black Manufacturers" of ManitowCc
will no longer be needed to 'sembellish"
the walls of Meme hotels, at least not
while modern Michael Angelo or
Raphael is in our midst.
The sentiments of "Moses" meet with
almost universal appreciation from the
taxpayers of the county, and they seem
to think a similar character ia every town
would be indispensable in the present
crisis. The teachers are the only ones
who seem to feel iabilant over the "do-
ings'. Well, it is seldom they get
Christmas present anyway and why not
feel grateful?
The dull monotony attending teachers
meetings and debates, which has hung
like cloud over US SO long, is now about
to be broken up by the entering of one
of the steadiost, noblest, industrious,
young men and one of the fairest, meek
est, generous, young women into the
connubial state. Only the prologue has
as yet been played to this pleasant drama,
and as we have made solemn VOW never
to mention names until occurrences have
actually taken place, we can not consist
emily disclose the names of the charac-
ters who are about to enter into their
coniugal relationship. But one thing
we are loathe to say: some of the young
men are at present bearing look of des-
they seem to think that Gu
pid will never hear their supplications,
and life Of ceiibacy seems to be their
fortune.
