OCONOM0WOC.
One OF Wisconsin's FayOrite Summer
Resorts.

Situated on the Lacrosse division of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway,
thirty-one miles north of Milwaukee is
the beautiful and picturesque city of
0eonomowec Its population numbers
between two and three thousand people,
whose hospitality is extended to every
visitor who enters its gates. The city
itself is only fair sample of Wisconsin
towns, its notoliety being achieved by
its attractive surroundings, which have
made it an objective point for the
sportsman and pleasure seeker, who have
commenced to arrive in large numbers.
Oconomowoc is rightly termed ''the
city of lakes" being literally surrounded
by sparkling sheets of water, over which
blow gentle zephyrs that fan the cheeks
and dispel the heat, which would other
wise be annoying in the summer months.
In the Immediate vicinity of Oconomowoc
lies twenty four lakes, in whose waters
swim fish in abundance, and the angler
who goes forth in the hope OF securing
good string" is seldom disappointed
Elegant residences have been erected on
the shores of these lakes by the rich of
Milwaukee and Chicago, and some of
them are perfect palaces, and will even
outrival their city residences, Nicely
constructed drives abound, and some
gay" outfits can be noticed. The
season has now fairly opened, and
everything is life and hustle, On
e ch lake are numerous row and sail
boats, and steamers. The hotels are
well adapted for the accommodation of
large numbers of guests at liberal rates.
AS we said before the people of
Oconomowoe are noted for their hospi-
tality. and among the foremost of them
are Mr. and Mrs Chas. NJ Hartwell, as
an ARGUS representative can testify to.
Mr. Hartwell is an early settler, and al
one time was sheriff of the county He
takes great pride in his town, and is one
of the prominent citizens, Conductor
Fuller was also his guest as can be seen
by the following paragraph from the
Free Press of that city:
Among the seekers after pleasure this
week Is Mr. Thos Fuller, a passenger
conductor on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road, who runs between Rock
Island and Milwaukee. He is the guest
of Mr., c. III. Hartwell, and is social
gentleman. He fishes almost necessarily,
and evidently enjoys the sport, although
he does not bring home many specimens
He accounts for it BY saying that his
Zine broke" the bait was no good or
the wind was not in the right direct
ion" If his Rock Island, friends receive
any fish from him, they will know that
he purchased them from the fish market.
This was rather ''stunner" on the
genial con" who was working hard to
catch enough fish to ship to his Rock
Island friends He redeemed himself,
however, during the last day of his stay,
and large box of pickerel and bass was
received from him on Monday by his
friends here. We viii vouch for him
that he did not purchase them at a fish
market
