NOTES FROM CENTERVILLE.

NOTES FROM CENTERVILLE.
John Schaeffier terribly mangled his
hand recently in running feed cutter.
1t is feared he will lose his hand. Mr..
Schaeff1er is sober, industrious young
man and his numerous friends sympath-
lie with him In his misfortune.
Mr.. Carl Bergner has gone into the mer-
chant tailoring and gents furnishing bust
ness at Cleveland. Mr.. Bergner is an in
tell1gent and energetic young man and
possesses considerable business capacity.
We have no doubt he will make success
of his enterprise.
The interior arrangements of the
school house at Nennig's have been al.
tered so as TO add to the convenience Of
both pupils and teacher. Mr.. Thomas
Conner who is teaching the school eI
presses himself highly pleased at the i'm
provements made. The seats have been
so placed that the greatest blackboard
surface will be in front of the pupils IN
stead of behind them. This will consi-
derably increase the usefulness of the
blackboard.
Our teachers recognize the fact that in
organization lies their main power not
merely to benefit themselves from busi-
ness standpoint, but to add to their eff
cheney IN professional sense. The form
er can only result from the latter, ard an
organization which does not lend it's main
| energy to improving the TEACHERS, will
| never do much toward improving their
condition.
We learn with pleasure that the pro-
spective association of Manitowoc coun-
ty teachers will not concern itself direct
ly with the regulation Of wages. Neither
will it assume the functions of teach
ers' agency" It's chief purpose SO far as
we have been able to learn, is to improve
the teachers. Thus the Association will
commend itself ut once to every progress.
sive teacher and citizen, and the suspi-
cion which teachers union might have
aroused Is disarmed at the very start
Teachers are learning that when their
| professional ability and scholarship are
improved, patrons will be more inclined
to listen to their demands for better sal
aries. The Manitowoc County Teachers
Association which was permanently or
gained last Saturday will be powerful
J means toward such improvement. The
teachers OF Centervllle are all on ''deck.
Married: Saturday, Nov. "a at the
home of the bride, Mr.. Joe Nennig of ouI
town and Miss Helen Bayer of Sheboy-
gan. Joe is hearty good fellow and
fully deserves the companIonship of the
young lady whose heart he captured. We
therefore extend our sincerest congratu
latlons to the young couple, and hope
that their bark may GLIDE smoothly o'el
life's mystic sea.
Miss Emma Vogel spent a few days
with parents and relatives in this vicinity
recently.
Life insurance agents have been ramp
ant hereabouts lately. Mr.. Ed. Schmitz
of Manitowoc and Mr.. Jos. Shambeau Of
Two Rivers are among those who visited
the vicinity.
Election over Mr.. Wehrwein is agar
himself, that is-a teacher.
Mr.. w. G. Wehrwein has become the
happy and proud father of chubby
baby boy.
Among the Centervllle teachers who
attended the preliminary meeting of the
Manitowoc Co. Teachers Assn. last Sat
urday we're Louis Baumanp, Thos. Con
nor, Albert Mill and Otto lander.
A meeting of our Centerville Literar,
Society will be held at Nennig's Hall
Saturday evening, Dec. 8, 1895. An un
usually interesting programme consist
ing of essays, declarations reading and
debate will be presented for the enter
tainment of the public and 1t is hoped
that large attendance will reward tn,
efforts of our teachers and pupils.
Mr.. Gail lander of Mishicot spent
day In this vicinity recently visiting hi
brother, Otto lander.
Oyster suppers were the fashion her
Thanksgiving day.
We learn with pleasure that Mr., Willie
HUM has begun work IN the manufac
ture of brooms. He has already filled al
order for the first hundred and will pusI
the work vigorously forward If we ar
not mistaken Willie is the only person il
the county who Is engaged in this line O
work and he deserves the encouragement
which the entire local patronage would
afford. Merchants all over the count,
will find it as favorable to their INTEREST,"
to buy here as elsewhere and ought t,
leave their orders for brooms in Lh,
county.
The day is late for such matters, blu
not having noticed it sooner, we feel lm
PEELED to say now that the remarks of tn
Mishicott correspondent to the Mantle
voc Press shortly before election relativ
to the Mishicott and Manitowoc count,
democracy exhibited degree of bat
taste, bordering on the barbaric. You
humble correspondent taxes persona
interest in the parties accused, hence thu
retort. Let us remind our worthy con
temporary that there is such q thing al
being too sharp. You are liable "to fal
down and cut yourself" my dear friend
The article we have reference too shoule
never have found it's way into print, ever
into a republican paper and just before
election. q
