Tobacco Notes.

Tobacco sorters wanted at warehouse
No. II by Andrew Jenson.
w. S. Brill has been receiving at out
Of town points this week.
Mr.. A. Calm, representing Bach Bros,
New York leaf dealers, is in the state
this week.
C. Hopkins is looking after bust
ness interests in the Kickapoo Valley
this week.
The latest arrival of tobacco men in
this market is Mr.. L. W. Scott of Boston
He is accompanied by his wife.
The pay roll at the United Cigar Man
ufacturer's warehouse in this market
last week was something over $1,000.
Mr.. E. c. Tallard, who has been in the
employ of E. Hoffman & Co, and G. L.
Culton for several years past and most
OF the time their travelling salesman,
severed his connection with that firm on
Saturday last and on the same day was
engaged by the New York firm of Meyer
& Mendelsohn to take charge OF their
Wisconsin business. This firm intends
to operate quite extensively in Wisconsin
leaf in the future. Mr.. Tallard's long
experience in the tobacco business ought
to make him a valuable man in any de-
partment of the trade. He has taken a
lease of Warehouse No. 2 for office and
storage purposes and is now actively en-
gagged in his duties.

Read1ng-MelOdy. MRS. M2Wnlnney
Reading-3rd Lesson in Music by Marchesi -.
Mr.. Taylor.
The club is doing good work, and it
deserves the support of everyone. Ed
gerton has splendid talent for such a
small place and the musical club has
been an inspiration to serious work, as it
holds up high standard of excellence.
Itis very helpful to anyone who expects
to perform in public, and the young mu-
sicians, as students, ought to give it
their hearty support. We cannot get
out any more than we put in. The next
meeting will be held Feb. 18TH at D. /.
Wilson's. Everybody is invited.

| Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Tallman of James
vile have been guests of Edgerton
friends during the week.
The Misses Minnie and Mae Isaacs
were happily surprised last Friday even
ing by about thirty of their young
| friends.
Mrs. p NJ. Ellingson took her little
daughter to Chicago hospital Friday
for surgical operation which has been
successful.
"A birthday surprise party was plan
ned by the gentlemen friends of Atty. l..
E. Gettle Wednesday and proved very
pleasant gathering.
Miss Stella Ogden has resigned her
position at the Edgerton telephone office
| and Miss Jessie Stewart has been en-
gagged to fill the vacancy.
Miss Kelley, assistant in the high
school, gave a pleasant party at the
home of Mrs George Wilson Friday
evening, in honor of her sister, Miss
Clara Kelley who was up from Beloit
| for short visit.
The stock horse, "Voulez Vous," i'm
ported from France eight weeks ago by
| Mclaughlin Bros of Columbus, Ohio,
and brought to Edgerton five weeks ago
by their agent, John Farm, has been
sold to a company of fifteen men for
$4,000. Horsemen all agree that he is
| the best stallion ever brought to this
| city and the introduction of such horse
| cannot help but raise the standard of
! horses in this locality in the future.
| "Voulez Vous" is a french Coach, three
years old and weighs 1900 pounds.
THE Vendetta" by Marie Corelli
unquestionably one of the most interest
ing and widely read books of it's time,
will be seen here in dramatic form Feb
| 10th. Several dramatizations have been
made of the book, but the one used by
| Gilbert Faust and his company has been
| pronounced by competent critics as by
far the most cleverly conceived. Mr..
Faust and Miss Carr have starred in
| this play for several seasons with great
success. Their portrayals of Fabio and
| Nina, the leading characters, are said to
be wonderfully realistic and intense.
They are we'll supported and perform
ance of unusual merit is looked for.
| The Mozart Symphony Club of New
York City, whose appearance in Fulton
as the fourth number on the lecture
course, Tuesday evening, Feb. 3, is one
Of the finest concert companies in the
| country, and has met with wonderful
success in all the large cities in the
United States. It consists of four mu-
sicians who preform on eight different
| instruments. Marie Stori, the violinist,
| is also prima donna soprano soloist of
wide reputation. One of the instru-
ments they play is viola D'Amour, an
| instrument of fourteen strings, over 200
years old, the second of its kind in
America, and its music is simply en-
chanting. We believe this will be the
| musical treat ever given in this part of
| the country. Remember the date, Tues
day eve, Feb. 3, at the Fulton church.
