AMONG FARMERS.

The papers in adjoining counties have
taken up the cry that ManItowoc is poor
market for farmprodu and are urging the
farmers to seek t0tter market, the better
market il each case being the locality in
which the particular paper is printed.
Whether deserved or not, this city has now
the reputation of beng a poor market for
farmers ana the results are being felt.
L. will take soLe time to BEGAN the
prestige we have Lost. 1t must be done
by making Mapltowoc a much better
market than any competing point. There
are assurances that this will be done
soon.
The market at Manitowoc is on the
whole better than at most other places.
but it is not SO much better that farmers
are attracted. At some points in this
county as high price has been paid for
rye as has been paid here within the last
week and there is no denying the fact
that kewaunee Is leading us. 1t ls not
true, however, that farmers are selling to
aUy considerable extent. Most of them
are holding their produce, and advancing
prices prove the wisdom of their course,
il they are not IN debt.
But Manitowoc must hasten to make
the market here as superior to that of
other places as It's facilities enable it. 1t
must seek trade by deserving it. There
is no denying the fact that 1t has lost
reput alton among the farmers. This
must be r65tcTei a1d 1t must be done
promptly even if sacrl fl e be necessary.
There is great deal of disquietude
throughout the city and proprletors of
farmer hotels are IN no amiable mood be-
cause OF their lack of trade which they
attribute to farmers going elsewhere.
This is not wholly the reason for the dull
ness but II Is In part. Manltowoc must
be ID position to Sc ,ure the farmers
trade when they are ready to sell and the
fact must be made known that here is a
market equal to any and superior to
most.
Cooper st own farmers report that as
yet they have sold but little grain.
There is large quantity being held
There is general dulness in sales OF
farm produce at all localities. A gen
tleman who lately visited Kewaunee
says that during the last two mon hs
but little grain has been sold there a:
compared with other years.

most decided success, Work was con-
centrated on two subjects, reading and
language lessons,-the latter leading up
to technical grammar. There were so
enrolled and there was quite number

was The attendance at the lectures on
Friday evening. The speakers were Pro
fessors Hutton and Cheever. They spot 9

people from the village and surroundir e
