NOTES FROM REEDSyILLE.
HE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

HE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
The Institute was opened promptly at
10 o'clock Tuesday, Feb. Goth by Thos.
Convey, who acted as conductor. The
attendance at the Opening session was
very good and IL continued to be during
the entire time; showing that the farmers
take an active and lively interest ID Such
matters when properly advertised and
presented 10 them. After few prellm-
mary remarks, the regular program was
taken up and the different topics present
ed according TO the practical experience
of those who undertook to handle them.
During the questioning and discussions
allowed on each subject, 1t was very plain
ly elected that we have practical farmers
in our own section of the state; and that
methods adopted in one section would
prove altogether impractical IN another.
At the evening session the hall was
very comfortably filed, abont one-thlrd
| of the seats being occupied by ladies.
Owing to the absence of Messrs. + ulIer
and Moves. who we're to discuss the prI-
| vate creamery and dairy interests, this
| part of the program was postponed until
| Wednesday p. ~, and the time occupied
| with music and recltatlons. Mr.. Coles
| educational address was interesting, IN
! strUctiye and practical. HIS personal
| experience 10 the education OF children
enables him to add proof TO assertion
| During his talk, lasting about forty-tive
| minutes he neld the attention OF the audi
ence most closely, and when he closed It
was the conviction of all, that the subject
was very ably presented. Master Hueb-
ner's rendition of The Amateur falme
drew out merited applause as did also
| the singing of Miss Stella Young. Ihe
session on Wednesday drew much larger
! crowd and awakened some animated DIS
cussion. \ large amount Oh literature
was distributed and one or two agrlc1l-
| tural journals secured number OF sub
scribers. lis an open question whether
the farmers derive benefit from these
institutes IN proportion 10 The expense,
but one thing Is certain, they aim 10 less
an the great evil of the farming cOmmun
ity, which is, an inclination 10 oppose and
crltlclse all change.
On Wednesday, Feb. 9th, the Reeds
vile Literary and Social Gut, gave an
entertainment IN Schulz hall the pro-
ceeds to be applied to the purchase OF
books for the public library. As a social
success it is conceded by all who attend
ed as the best of its kind; and consider
|, |
anclal standpoint the society has nc
canse Of complaint, about twenty dollars
being realized.
An interesting program OF vocal anC
instrumental music, recltations, tableaux
etc was rendered. And also the farce
comedy, wide Enough for Iwo," being
put on with much credit TO the perform
ers. viii Christensen In his comic Dutch
character and b. j. Treat 10 a negro rep
} resentation aroused the disabilities of the
audience. Miss Winnie Meany as liter
cry crank, presented her part we'll as die
Miss Ida EDerhardt In the part assigned
to her. Will O'Hara in his dashing po
lice uniform capuvated the ladies and w
kabat with his English wblskers, alSt
received favorable mention. Miss Stella
Young, IN a vocal solo brought out tn,
applause of the evening.
Miss Young has voice of much powe
I and sweetness which was duly appreclat
S ed as shown by the long continued ap
pause.
S Married: Hlavajeck -knorr. On Mon
day evening, Feb. 18th, Justice of the
D Peace L. Il. Meany united in marriage
Mary Hlavajeck of The village of Reeds

Richard Mansfield IN two of his plays

Oracle Mccullough entertained mum
Der of her little friends Wednesday after

DR.. O'ConneIl of Cato spent few hour
: in town Saturday last talking up a tele
; phone line between Manltowoc and Kau
kauna.
Assemblyman Maertz came home Fri
: day night much elated over the passag
of the municipal court bill which he IN
troduced In the assembly. This vii
practically do away with Justices Of thu
peace IN the county, but country just1c,
Is apt to reach somebody yet.
We notice that one of the county pa
pers has started boom for lawyer TO
the proposed Judgeship, who has certain
party affiliations. Now if any of the
other papers have candidates for tn,
position they should not delay in an
nouncing it. Let politics dictate nomina
lions for such positions and justice viii
run TioU.
We notice that the editor of The Press
seems inclined to criticlse the local c ON
having III charge the Institute at Reeds
vile. Well, no doubt it was a piece o
presumption, not to be tolerated, for tn.

without consulting the learned scaibe
but then they may be excused for not
knowing better. ~
