In the shipment of stock made by
P. G. Brown Monday were about dozen
bulls and among them some ugly Gus
toners that were disposed of by farmers
on account of their recent disposition to
be uncomfortable. It is believed that the
prolonged hot weather is responsible for
the ugliness and some valuable animals
were sold because they were unsafe to
be kept longer on the farms.
This is the third week of the longest
heated term the oldest resident can re-
call. Some time each day during the
entire three weeks of drouth thermome-
tiers have reached close to or above the
100 mark. A few local showers have
fallen this week, but brought scarcely
enough moisture to dampen the parched
lips of nature. Nothing but general
rain and plenty of it will save the crops
now.
The event of the season is to come.
It will take place at the Driving Park,
August 7th. Fathers Mathews T. A. &
B. society picnic is booked for that date
and in all probability will draw the larg
est crowd to be seen in Edgerton this
season. Special attractions and enter
tainments are being arranged for and
the society feels confident that the pic
mic this year will be larger and better
than ever before. The purses and prizes
are liberal and there is no limit to the
long program of races and games. Good
music will be furnished and all are in
vited to attend this picnic.
