June is making a record for good
growing weather. The river daily
marks notch lower as the thermom-
eter marks higher. 1t is counted the
month of roses in this latitude, and the
time for poets to dream love sonnets in
all attitudes. Here we have not had a
surfeit of either roses or poetry.
Mr.. VIM. Nobel, of Prairie du Chen
is in the city for few days. He is an
expert piano and organ tuner, and has
done some frst-class work while here.
He tuned both of the Congregational
| church organs, also st. Johns church
organ in a most satisfactory manner.
He has been in the work for nearly
twenty-five years and brings testimon-
| ials from we'll known people in neigh
boring cities.
Mr.. Samuel Stotzer, of Portage, man
ufacturer of monuments, spent the lat
ter part of last week in town. He has
the contract for the John Edwards and
Emile Rossier monuments, beside quite
a number of others. His work and ma
terial are first-class, and our already
beautiful "City of the Dead will be
greatly improved through his efforts be-
fore the summer vans. His state agent
| W. NJ. Slowey has set twenty-six hand
some stones in Forest Hill Cemetery.
Appleton Post.-Mr. J. d. Witter, of
Grand Rapids, came over to Appleton
Friday morning and affixed his cogno-
men to the splendid bond filed by the
CONNER cial Bank with the county
Judge, to indemnify depositors against
| any and all losses. Jerry is one of the
most genial, liberal, broad minded and
aggressive business men in Wisconsin,
and while he goes waltzing around his
individual exchequer, that contains up
wards of half million glistening dollars,
he never forgets his obligations to the
country nor attempts to shoulder for
ward his own interests at the expense
of others. The millions that are now
legally staked by each of our banks to
guarantee depositors would make any
future run as ridiculous as company of
cripples in a sack race on crutches.
