"Wednesday, while the people here
abouts were uncomfortable under tenn
perature ranging from 10 to 80 degrees,
those at West Superior, the other end of
the state, were shivering under raging
blizzard of snow, a storm that reached
US Thursday morning. From midsum-
mer heat to snow is one of those light
ming changes in weather the Oldest in
habitant can scarcely recall the like OF.
w. Fl. Clarke attended the meeting
of Rock county assessors which was held
in GAINESVILLE Tuesday, called by Super
intendent of Assessors Mcintyre. The
meeting was held for the purpose of pre-
pairing for active work the men who ap-
praise the real and personal property of
| Rock county. It was especially urged
upon the assessors that they be equit-
able and impartial in making their as
sessments and that similar methods be
used in all parts of the county.
-Edgerton is especially favored with
! handsome shade trees along the walks.
But in many cases they are sadly ne
elected in regard to pruning and through
this negligence become a nuisance to
| pedestrians. All shade trees which Dor
| der sidewalks should be trimmed not less
than nine feet from the ground up.
They would thrive better, furnish more
shade and admit free circulation of the
cooling summer breezes. Let every one
properly prune their trees and their acts
will be appreciated thousand fold,
The duplicate boiler at the water
works pumping station, which was put

furnished by F. O. Am brose of jefferson.
The grating and fire brick in the old
boiler will be removed and new ones put
in their stead. The duplicate system is
! considered safeguard in case Of acct
| dent, and also gives the superintendent
| an opportunity to keep the boilers in
good repair.
"A little surprise party greeted Will
Bardeen upon his return from Milwau-
kee where he had been to attend the
Photographers convention. It was in
the form of nice, neat, nine pound baby
boy, which came to the Bardeen home

Bardeen arrived home Thursday he well
coined the surprise party in his usual
warm, friendly way and asked it to look
pleasant while he took photograph of
the handsomest baby on earth. Young
Mr.. Bardeen is perfect image of his pa.
| Between now and the first of June a
number of changes of location by bust
ness firms will be made. Frank Ash has
rented the store room recently vacated

cupy the same at once. Herman Lid
ECKER has rented the store now occupied
by Mr.. Ash and will move into the same
as soon as it is vacant. After some
needed repairs are made to the store
where Mr.. Lidicker is, John Mawhinney
will move there with his meat market,
and the place which he will vacate will
be occupied by Geo. Lynts, who will con-
duct meat market there. These con-
stitute more changes than Edgerton has
ever before had in single month.
