An exchange says that one of it's
reporters dreamed the other night that
the editor decided to get out paper for
once in his life that was entirely satisfac-
tory. Every item was carried around to
different houses and if any objections
were made it was killed. At four O. clock
the paper went to press as usual and
when the patron unfolded it they found
nothing but blank sheet. The editor
slept sweetly that night realizing that
he had printed nothing to offend any
body and that his paper was for once
entirely satisfactory.

The occasion is the one hundred and
twenty second anniversary of our
National Independence Day, which oc-
ours on Tuesday, July 4th, 1899. And
you may depend upon it that the day
will be glorious one in Edgerton, for
the patriotic ones have put their Shout
ders to the wheel and are going to give
it rapid spin. From the grand salute
at sunrise to the last fzgig in the even
ing will be one continual round of sport
and pleasure such as was never before
planned and carried out in this city. No
city in the state of Wisconsin is better
fitted, better situated or has better &C
commodations for Fourth of July cele-
bration than has Edgerton, and her
citizens are this year going to spare
nothing to make the bird of liberty rent
the air from A to lizard with her patri-
otto screams. A procession as long as the
moral law, a speaker that can speak,
ball teams that can play bail, dinner
