"A large snow shovel and Street
Commissioner Cook have been in effect
ual operation upon the street crossings
for the past two days. And there was
ample space for action too, as the recent
snow and sleet had coated the walks
with ice of the quality opposite to ad-
hesiveness. Many of the sidewalks
about town that afforded anything but a
firm footing could have been improved
by the same method which Mr.. Cook
used uDOn the crOsSWaIks
"A couple of cases of diphtheria have
developed in town during the week, both
of which are now under quarantine.
One case is in the family of Robert
Bruhn in the Sd ward and the other a
child in the Bartz family on the Driving
Park road The weather of late has been
especially favorable for developing con-
tagion and our citizens ought to use
every precaution against it's spread.
Parents should see to it that children
affected with any kind of sore throat be
kept out of the schools, where contag-
ious diseases are easily disseminated.
The Chronicle at TT. Atkinson has
suspended and the plant sold to other
parties. In any town of 3 or thousand
where as good family newspaper as the
Jefferson County Union is published,
there is no excuse for a second paper.
The people of such towns are better
served as well as harmony of the com
munity preserved by single publication
than by half a dozen struggling papers
trying to fill a long felt want. Some
body with more than the average amount
of brains was trying to make the Chron-
icle live, but there was absolutely no
field for a second publication in town
so we'll occupied as Ft. Atkinson is by
the Hoard family.
In writing for his book, the diction-
airy man says of the word Grand" that
it means something of higher rank, more
dignity or Importance than other things
of the same nature. And for this reason
the boys of the Cornet Band styled their
ball "a Grand Ball" It is proposed to
make it something better than the ordi-
nary ball or dance in more ways than
one. IL you attend this ball all appoint
ments for your pleasure will be care
fully looked after. The date of this
Grand Ball is Tuesday evening, January
23d. Tickets are placed at Is cents and
after you have become hungry good

for IS cents a couple. Attend the
ball, have good time and help the band
along just little.
Somebody of a proverbial turn of
mind once wrote, "as the days begin to
lengthen the cold begins to strengthen"
From our library we select the most re-
liable almanac and learn therefrom that
the days are gradually increasing in
length; then we turn to the weather fore
cast in the daily papers to see if the
cold is dealt out in right proportions to
correspond with the above adage. And
by this method we are frank to say our
confidence in the adage business has
received such a shock that time alone
will fail to heal. Anybody in the future
wishing us to take stock in an adage
will have to have it subscribed and
sworn to before a notary public, and
then we will request a personal acquain-
lance with the notary before accepting
it as a perfect rule to follow while jog
ging adown the line of life.
-F'ooling around with the affections
of young lady is very apt to make a
young man so bold that he will venture
nigh unto the gates of trouble even after
notice to the contrary has been posted.
And such is the case of a young man
who lives not thousand miles from
Edgerton. Repeatedly he had been
notified by the father of certain young
lady that the attentions he was bestow-
ing upon his daughter might be used to
far better advantage in some other di-
rection. The young man was slow to
