Harvey Pease fell from tobacco
shed in Fulton one day this week thrust
ing nail into the feshy part of his leg,
making painful hurt.
A team driven by young Peach of
Porter, loaded with tobacco, took a
lively turn about the city fountain Tues
day morning, overturning the load. One
or two cases we're badly splintered and
the tobacco scattered about. The team
was stopped near the Heddles lumber
office.
-Edgerton now has drink places
galore and there is no necessity for
palates becoming dry and parched for
the want of spurious, matted or mixed
connections. The council at a special
meeting Monday evening granted Ii
censes for the opening Of two more
drink shops, one in the Banks building
and one in Jos. Pollard's building on
Henry Street. It means one thousand
dollars more for the city fund
The Ellsworth Concert company APP
peared at the Congregational church
last Friday evening under the auspices
of the Edgerton Cornet Band. A rather
small house greeted the Ellsworths, but
the entertainment which they gave was
first-class in every respect and was
highly appreciated by those present.
Being that the band boys were interested
patronage ought to have been double as
large.
Next Wednesday evening the cele-
brated Schubert Symphony Club and
Lady Quartette will give program of
great variety, consisting of lady quar-
tettes, mandolin and guitar, violin and
vocal solos. A lady quartette is always
a source of delight to lovers of beautiful
music, and the Schubert Lady Quartette
is one of the best. Mr.. Goodwill Dick
erman, humorist will also appear in a
delightful program of refined comedy
characters.
When this summer has dropped into
it's niche of the past, and another sum-
mer shall have come, it's then that some
one ought whisper in the ear Of he who
chases the "sprink" cart around, to turn
on less water. Macadam streets were
never laid in Edgerton or any other city,
that it's citizens might wade and drive
through from one to three inches of
mud every time they venture upon the
street, but that it might be dry and
hard and smoothe: Excessive sprinkl-
ing spells the pavement as we'll as max
ing disagreeable transition.
Geo. WEIGH, one of the steel gang,
who was arrested in this city several
weeks ago for enticing two little girls out
into Clark's pasture, and later on the
charge of burglary, that of breaking into
the house of Mrs. VIM. CARMEL, is free
man at last. After spending several
weeks in jail pending trial, Welch ap-
peared before the Municipal court in
GAINESVILLE last Thursday and asked to be
allowed to plead guilty to the charge Of
malicious mischief. The permission was
granted and Judge Fiield sentenced him
to five days in jail. He has probably
paid partial penalty for wrong doing
here.
Members of the Norwegian Sunday
School drove to Crystal Springs last
Thursday for their annual outing and
picnic The day was most pleasantly
passed, and among other amusements
they were treated to ride on the steam
er Columbia from the Springs to James
vile and return. Each year this society
have an outing of this nature and they
are looked forward to by the members,
especially the younger pupils of the
school, with great expectancy and they
always prove most enjoyable.
Something is radically wrong in
Stoughton, for the fire bug" is out with
his brand betimes the morning while
people have not yet left their BEDS
Another attempt to start destructive
fire was made there early Monday morn
ing, but the blaze was discovered before
it had gotten under full Roadway. The
fire was set at the barn of E. T. King,
adjoining which is the livery barn of
Walker Bros. and other buildings. A
lady living near saw the fire about four
in the morning; it had just been started
and was easily extinguished. A bundle
of kindlings and hay, partly burned, and
a hole in the floor of the barn, told the
story. Just week ago fires were started
