Concerning McGrath.

We have received the following COM
munication relating to John McGrath,
who was fatally shot on the morning
of June 9:
WAUPUN. June u, 1895 Editor Va
tertoaU1o Republican,: After reading the
account OF the shooting at the house of
Mrs. Ryan Sunday night, [ found par
ties who were acquainted within cGrath
He worked for farmer about three
miles north of this city. He was con-
side1ed harmless fellow, but some
times a heavy drinker. People who
knew him here think he must have
made mistake In going to Mrs. Ryan S
house when he was drunk. He is
said to have no friends in this country,
but has a father and brother in the
old country. Those who knew him are
sorry of his sad fate. The gentleman
who did the shooting is not really to
blame, but people ought not to be too
hasty on such occasions. Yours,
JOHN SoLoN.
The Jefferson Banner gives this in
formation:
McGrath was in this city for month
or more. He appeared to be seeking
ployment, and when he secured q
job labored faithfully, until he was
paid, when be would spend all he had
for liquor. His home he claimed was
in Louisville. XIV.
The body was taken to Jefferson last
week Tuesday night and buried on the
poor farm at county expense.

THE FARMERS DAY.
They Enjoy Themselves at the Big Pic
mic Last ThurSday

They Enjoy Themselves at the Big Pic
mic Last Thursday
Last Thursday was a gala day for the
country people of this vicinity, the oc-
casion being the first picnic given by
the Watertown Farmers club on Con-
cordla island. The city had festive
appearance, and many of our residents
took half-holiday and joined with
their country friends in the afternoons
outing. Some of the principal streets
were decorated with greens, while the
business houses generally were fes-
tooned with bunting, flags, etc.
Preceding the picnic an industrial
parade, aboundingi in amusing features,
took place. The procession formed on
North Water street at l O'Clock and the
line of march was east on Main street
to Concordia island. Crowds of peo-
pie gathered to see the sights. In the
lead was the Watertown Cornet band,
attired in most ludicrous costumes Iat-
ter the style of the proverbial ebay
seed" The chief idea Of the parade
was to depict the old and new modes
of farming, and this was done by a
complete display of agricultural i'm
plements both in and out of use. The
firms thus represented were +. w,
Lehman, Roper & Son, William
Schultz, j. F. Bramer, the E. Kunert
Manufacturing company and others.
Two floats containing groups of chill
dren, one presided over by decrepit
schoolmaster, and the other by
spruce young scnoolma' Jam, showed
respectively the country school Of forty
years ago and that of o-day. An old
time husking bee and the group por-
traying the manipulation and victims
of the familiar "shell'' game formed
pictures of interest often associated
with the experiences of our rural in
habjtants. There were many other
features of the parade worthy of note
which we do not now recall, and on
the whole it was very we'll conceived
and effectually carried out. About the
only thing not true to life was the
farmer who wore a silk tile while in
charge of an agricultural implement.
C. May & Sons had display showing
the process of creamery buttermaking,
and other firms represented in the
procession were Molzahn & Feisst,
wholesale liquors; Globe Milling COM
pany. r. p Koenig q Co., Schempf
Bros, dry goods; w. F. Trachte. pianos
and organs.
Throughout the afternoon and even
ing the island swarmed with human
ity, and all seemed to hugely enjoy
themselves. The weather was perfect
for a picnic. For the young folks there
were jumping and running contests,
heel-barrow races, catching creased
pigs, and various other recreatiOns,
while many of the older people fre-
quented the bowling alleys. The music
furnished by the band of fifteen pieces
was of the highest order, and the re-
mark, "How we'll the band playsI was
heard on every hand. The festivities
closed with a dance in the pavilion in
the evening, which continued until
nearly midnight. The Farmers club
reports profit on the picnic of about
500.

Scheme for a COUNTY Seat.

Under date of February 7, 1856, the
Jefersonian, from which The Jefferson
Banner is now publishing extracts,
said in regard to Watertown's then
great desire to become county seat:
"It is probably we'll understood
throughout the county that an effort is
being made to form a new county,
wherein the city of Watertown will be
composed of a portion of Dodge and
portion of Jefferson counties. The
name intended for the new county
thus formed, we do not learn. That
the bill will pass the legislature is not
entirely certain. although we learn that
the Republican representatives from
the Lake Mills and Palmyra districts
are in faver of the movement, which,
with the Watertown representation.
show a numerical preponderance in
favor of this new county movement"

That lovely creature now so much
in evidence is thus happily described
by The Oconomowoc Free Press:

now being made; her sailor hat is on
her head, her shirt waist is snugly
belted down. "brother's tie" looks
poem between the REFERS of the half
open jacket that has the sauciestt cut
her as she steps, and she is pronounced
to take life as she finds it. There are
many other phases of this luminary,
but whether she is dressed to kill' or
comes in the above simple little uni
form, there is no doubt in these hal
cyon days she is potent factor for
consideration"

A Reliuious Wave.

Never in the history of Eastern
Kentucky has there been such re-
vival of religion IA is now sweeping
over these mountains. From Cum
berland Gap to tho mouth of the
Big Sandy this movement is going
on. This revival began more than
II year ago, AMI has been spreading
ever since. At Now Spring church.
in Lee county, Il meeting of three
weeks was held in August, 1893,
which resulted in so conversions.
That meeting continues to this day
in its effects on that and adjoining
neighborhoods. 1t has spread ovrr
parts of Lee. Wolfe and Owsley,
aud to date in these counties ut
least 600 sonls have boon blessed.
During the early part of 1894, Rev.
4. J., Pickett, of Wilmore, held
revival meetings ut Williamsburg,
Pineville, Barbourvillc and Jack
son, and the effect of these efforts
~ still visible at most of these
places. At London, recently, DR..
Carradine, of st. Louis, and Rev.
T.. L. Pickett have conducted u
meeting in which 200 persons have
been reached. In Laurel county
several revivals preceded this one.
In tho Sandy Valley there have
been many great meetings iii the
past year. The interest is increas-
ing, and we sincerely hope that re-
vivals will 60 on until they shall
reach every community in the
mountains Of Kentucky.--Jockson
