The news regarding the crops in this

The news regarding the crops in this
section is still satisfactory, and the pros
pect for an average yield of cereals is as
surfing. Apples will be light crop, few
of the orchards giving much promise.
The yield of small fruit will be fair.
Sleeper Brothers have determined
upon the erection of an elevator with
capacity of $4,000 bushels to be ready for
the handling the coming crop. 1t Will
be situated on the track Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, adjoin-
ing the WATERFOWL Elevator companys
building. This indicates business in the
grain line this fall, and the farmers about
here will hail the news with satisfaction.
There appears to be a fixed determ-
nation on the part of all concerned to
make the Central Fair for this year the
largest and most successful yet held by
the association, and to this end prepara-
tons are going rapidly forward The right
spirit displayed by our business men VIII
do much towards having the coming exhi-
bition of the Central Wis. Society eclipse
all previous efforts and the cooperation
of all should be had to attain the deslr-
able end.
We have received with the compli-
ments of Memo Stamm written thereon, a
neat pamphlet entitled Genius Reward
ed or the story Of the Sewing Machine,

of the Singer sewing machine, written
in captivating manner. 1t can be read
with pleasure and profit by the friends OF
anv of the numerous sewing machines
now in market Mr.. Stamm, the agent
of the Singer here, doubtless has num-
Der of these pamphlets for distribution.

Tony Deniers Humpty Dumpty
troupe gave an inimitable entertainment
at Turner Hall to a good-sized audience
last Friday evening. As every one
knows Humpty Dumpty abounds in lud-
icrous and laughable situations; and Mr.

the principal character of the piece. The
specialities introduced by the Denier
troupe added very much to the attractive
ness OF the ENTERTAINMENT lulelSpGloou do
they were through the play, and taken
altogether the audience were pleased with
their investment.
Our fellow townsman Hon. Jesse
Stone who sailed from New York ior
Liverpool, England, Saturday June 18th,
in the steamship Britannia, experienced
rather an exciting Fourth. Monday
morning at 1870 the Britannia in a
dense fog ran aground at Fillmore,
10 miles Northwest of Wexford, Ireland.
The passengers were all landed safely
and from Wexford Mr.. Stone sent cable
gram to his family here advising them OF
his safety The dispatch was received
In this city Monday afternoon before any
thing had been known of the stranding of
his steamer leaving his friends somewhat
easier than if they had heard Of the dis
aster of the Britannia before the receipt
of his cablegram.
