ITEMS FROM TWO RIVERS.


Fred Schnorr who made this place his
home for a number of years, and was
quite popular among the young folks,
recently took passage at New York for
England where he will reside in the
future.
Miss Irene Harkins of Ahnapee is at
present visiting friends in this city.
Some of the Kewaunee county farmers
have recently adopted a practice which
was not an uncommon one in this county
in the early days. They leave home
during the night with grain, arrive here
in the morning, and after disposlng CT
their load start for home. The price
paid here for grain must be comparatively
good otherwise outsiders would not be
attracted.
81. M. Scove the Manitowoc ship
builder came up on Monday last to in
terview his Two Rivers friends.
DR.. @. FL. Oswald has been under the
weather for some time past.
All the factories at this place are now
running in full blast, and large quantities
of wooden ware in various forms are
being shipped daily.
The life-saving crew at this place have
received orders from headquarters to
disband on next Saturday the 10Th inst.
The crew will be kept on duty about
two weeks longer than formerly, but
considering the fact that navigation has
not entirely closed, the crew are dis
charged early enough. One year ago
after disbanding they were called upon
to render assistance to the crews of two
wrecks in one night. 1t is not entirely
the wisest kind of economy to have the
men off duty at time when their SER
vices may be called into requisition.
There are probably fewer idle men in
Two Rivers than in any other town of
its size in the state, and as a consequence
the professional hanger-on around sa-
looms is rdra aiUs.
Two Rivers still has its full quota of
railroad men, the immigration which
caused so much dissatisfaction in Mantle
voc not having affected this place.
Mrs. Weichart, wife of Henry Weichart
of this city, died last week after an illness
of some years duration. The funeral
took place from the Lutheran church on
Sunday last.
A New York woman's aid society
recently sent to the e-saving crew at
this place quite stock of interesting
reading matter, and supply of clothing
designed for the use of crews of wrecked
vessels who may be in need thereof.
The antiquated fish shanty is fast
disappearing from the banks of the east
river. The building of docks and the
failure of late of the fishing business is
the cause.
The fact that taxes are going to be
mighty high this year is what is just now
giving the average citizen of Two Rivers
q ho VI tlO OluOS. I1OSal CABCnSGS nave
run higher than usual this year, and
goodly sum must be raised to pay off
railroad indebtedness. Voting for rail-
road was all right to talk about, but the
people are now beginning to reap the
fruits of the folly.
All of the fisherman from this place
who have been plying their vocation at
points north of here during the past sea-
son, have returned to their homes for the
winter.
Two Rivers will not send delegation
to the Milwaukee convention. There
was at first some talk of doing so, but
after the thing got worked up it was
found that Nash and Dick Mueller were
the only Irishmen in town aud they were
too modest to elect themselves.
Quite number of interesting meetings
of the literary society which is run under
the auspices of the teachers and pupils
of our city schools, have been held re-
Gently. By charging small admittance
fee to those who attend the meeting,
quite snug little sum has been raised
which will be devoted to purchasing a
library for the use of the school.
Richard Endress returned from his
annual fishing expedition to the Lake
Superior region on Saturday last. He
looks as though the climate of the far
north agreed with him.
Mr.. and Mrs. P. Flynn left this place
short time ago and will in the the
future reside in Manitowoc. The old
folks have quite number of friends
here who will wish them we'll in their
new home.
The foundation for the new iron bridge
was completed about two weeks ago.
According to the terms of she contract
the superstructure should be completed
by the 18th of this month, but judging
from present indications it looks as
though the contractors are going 10 be
behind hand. In the meantime consider
able inconvenience is caused by the
delay.
