The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1882-03-23
LIBERTY.

DR.. Nagle of Manitowoc put in appear
ance at Meme on Sunday last.
J. F. Sims, formerly teacher in this
vicinity, visited friends around here for
few days last week.
The boys from this locality who have
been wintering in the northern pineries
are returning home richer and heavier
men than they were when they left.
John Hogan and Anthony Kelly Jr..
intend going to Iowa soon to purchase
land and settle down.
Miss Katie Dempsey began her sum-
mer term of school on Monday last.
There is an idea prevalent here that
splendid land can be purchased for q
mere trife in Clark and Wood counties
or that it may be taken up under the
homestead act W. F. Hahn has taken
100 acres, and some more are preparing
to visit these places and follow suit if
they find the country what it is reported
to be.
w. F. Hahn is going to start grist
mill during the coming summer. We
predict that the undertaking will be sue
cessful even beyond that gentIeman's ex-
pectation, as he has the energy, business
capacity and honesty to admirably fit
him for the undertaking.
The many friends of James Mahon
will be pleased to learn that he is slowly
but surely recovering from his recent
protracted illness.
It is quite surprise to us ruralists to
hear of Manitowoc men contributing to
fix road outside the city limits. We
believe the records of other cities of Wis
consin might be searched in vain for a
like act of generosity. Yet suppose we
will still travel over that piece of road as
unconcernedly and independently as if
we owned it and will never think of run
ming into ditch to avoid standing col
Lar or top buggy.
1t is fact that is not gene' ally known
around here that more mail matter is re-
ceived at and sent from Osman post-of-
fee than any of the neighboring offices.
The postmaster says that SO far during
this quarter commencing Jan. LIST, forty
registered letters have been sent from
his Office, which is probably more than
double the amount sent from any other
Office in the southern towns.
Thomas A. O'Neil, formerly well known
in pedagogic, literary, and other circles
in this county, but who has lately been
telegraph operator on the Wis. G. r. r.
at some station near Colby, is stopping at
his old home for few days. Tom is in
fatuated with his new place of abode and
will remain here only long enong to look
after some property belonging to his
father which is not yet disposed Of.
There has lately been some transfers of
real estate property. Thomas Byrne, of
Manitowoc, sold forty acres OF land to
John Guidinger, of Liberty, for 81 900.
The land is situated in the southeastern
part of Liberty and formerly formed part
of the estate of Darby Clark. Daniel
Shanahan bought 25 acres of land from
Dennis Shallue q few days ago. This
tract is situated in Liberty and is entire
ly separate from Mr.. Shallue's farm in
Meme. We have also been informed
that Michael Herr Of Meme. disposed
of his farm and hotel, the purchaser be-
ing son in-law of Mr.. Colway of Nee
me. We also heard the buyers name
but know of no combination of letters
that would give any adequate idea of
how it is pronounced.
st. Patrick's day was celebrated in the
usual manner at Meme. In the even
ing the society met at their hall and elect
ed the following officers: President, p
J. Conway; Vice President, Ed. Barnes;
Secretary; Dan. Shanahan Jr; Librarian,
Jas. Sullivan Jr.; Treasurer, Peter Flan-
nigan; Standard Bearer, Christ. O'Con-
nor; Spiritual Director, Rev. Roche.
After the election of officers the program
of exercises that had been prepared for
the occasion was carried out. Rev. r.
J. Roche spoke on the present agitation
in Ireland and also gave his opinion as
to how Ireland could be most benefited.
P. II. Hewitt delivered an exhaustive ad-
dress on tie benefits of society in gener-
al and of temperance societies in particu-
lar. Hon. John Carey read his speech
from manuscript after the manner of his
great prototype JAS. G. Blaine. His
ideas went TO show that it was just, right
and proper that the 18th of March should
be celebrated here in America as we'll as
elsewhere in cor1memoration of the birth
of Ireland's apostle. The next meeting
will take place In four weeks from the
date of the last
