Obituary.
ROBERT G.. GREENE.

RODEnA - NhcEANEI'
Robert @. Greene was born in Edger-
ton, Wis, May 49, 1870. His mother died
wnen he was nine years old, and he then
made his home with an older sister. He
came to Lodi in January 1896, and was
engaged in the clothing business for a
few years After leaving this business
he went on the road as shoe salesman
and by his pleasant manner and strict
attention to business, won for himself
such success that last spring he was en-
ployed by one of the largest firms in the
United States : the Brown Bros. Shoe
Co. of st Louis to represent them in
Wisconsin. On the 17th of May, 1899,
Mr.. Greene's marriage to Lora L. Slater
Of this city was solemnized. To them
was born one sol David Sylvester-a
bright little fellow in his fifth year. Last
September Mr.. Greene bought home
here, on which improvements were made
and more we're in contemplation. Every
thing seemed to indicate happy and
prosperous future, and why he should
be stricken down, leaving hearts to ache,
just when life seemed brightest, must be
carried to higher authority for answer.
Mr.. Greenes home life was ideal he was
a most tender and considerate husband
and father, and it was these traits of
character, shown in less degree to his
friends, that made him 80 universally
respected as man. He had no enemies.
And while his death is bitter sorrow
for his bereaved ones to bear, it will be
sweet consolation to them to know
that his brief life was so fruitful of those
qualities that go to make for the real
man. Mr.. Greene was member of the
Lodi Branch of the Equitable Fraternal
Union, with which society he carried
life insurance policy of $4,000 He also
held an accident policy in travelling
mems association, which, it is said, car
ries $1,000 death benefit,
Among those from away who came to
attend the funeral were: Mrs. Henry
Cox. a sister, her husband and two
daughters; George Greene, brother;
Mrs. Dickerson, a sister, and her son
and daughter, from Edgerton.-Lodi
Enterprise.

1t Never Came Back.

Ten years ago farmer put his initials
on silver dollar and went to town and
spent it with a merchant. Before the
year was out he got the dollar back
again for poultry and spent it again.
Four times that dollar came home to
him for products, and three other times
he heard of it in the pockets of his
neighbors. The last time he got it in
exchange four years ago, he sent it to a
Chicago mail order house that amassed
100000 selling third rate goods at first
rate prices. He has not seen that dollar
since and never will. That dollar will
never pay any more school tax or road
tax for him: never help build up town or
community: never bless or brighten the
home of his neighbor. He sent it en-
tirely out of the circle of usefulness to
him.

What the EdgertOn Company Has Pro-
vided at Large Expense.

tIucu al d Lorkc LApouSo
The annual meeting of the Edgerton
Telephone Co. was held Saturday even
ing and the only change in the present
board of directors was the election OF
Andrew Mcintosh secretary and treas
urer in place of w. 4. Shelley, whose in
terests have recently been taken over by
the other stockholders. The company,
which is purely a local affair, has been
in existence little over six years. start
ing with a modest capital and about. 80
subscribers. The business developed
much more rapidly than the earnings
could provide for, continually calling
for additional capital. until the COM
pany now finds itself with property
that cost four times the original invest
ment Last season extensive improve
ments we're made, practically rebuilding
the entire system, involving an expense
of between $1,000 and $1,000 for cable,
new switch board and installing the
same in new office block built by Ladd
& Holton. The company now prides
itself on having as complete and ur-to-
date telephone system as can be found
in any interior town, with capacity suf-
ficient to care for any increase of bust
ness for some time to come. The COM
pany has also discovered that the oper-
ating expenses increase much larger in
proportion to the revenues as the system
expanded, or in other words, an exchange
of 200 Or less subscribers can be operated
cheaper in proportion than larger ones,
and it is selling it's service too cheap in
some cases. In order to compensate for
the large investment made last season
the company unwillingly decided that a
reimbursement of rates is made necessary.
After February 1st the price of resi-
dence phones on full metallic circuits
will be advanced to $l.25 per month,
which is still cheaper than the same ser
vice is given in GAINESVILLE, Madison or
almost any town about US. Party lines
and business phones will remain as
heretofore. There are very few resi-
dences in Edgerton or farmers homes
within radius of ten miles that cannot
be reached by telephone and the COM
pany will endeavor to keep the rates for
what has become a necessity within the
reach of every body. If the rates were
cheap enough when the company first
began to do business with less than 100
subscribers, they are relatively much
cheaper now when the exchange offers
its patrons the benefits Of reaching near
ly four times the number Of subscribers.
The company has decided to offer the
public the stock in the treasury formerly
owned by w. A Shelley, and anyone de-
string safe and permanent investment
can secure az interest in this semi public
utility. Information concerning the con-
condition of the company may be OBJ
tanned from the secretary.
The present board of directors of the
Edgerton Telephone Co. are T, B. Earle,
j. M. Conway, P. G. Brown, Andrew Nc
Intosh and f. w. Coon.

There is one entertainment that every
one ought to patronize. 1t is the Goth
annual ball of the Edgerton Volunteer
Fire Department to be held in Academy
hall, Friday evening, February 3rd. The
proceeds of the annual ball goes to the
treasury of the Department and is used
to help defray expenses. For attending
meetings, practice and work at fires the
members of the company receive no
compensation, and to add to all this
gratuitousslabor, they each year get up
an tsannual ball. 49, What more could be
expected of an organization that is
banded together for the sole purpose of
protecting the property Of others? 1t is
true that there are many people who do
not participate in dancing, but at the
same time they ought to be willing to
aid so worthy cause by the purchase of
ticket whether it be used or not.
From every standpoint the Firemen's
annual ball is conducted in manner
creditable to the organization and wor-
thy the patronage of all. This year the
committees in charge are preparing for
royal good ii ne. Smiths orchestra has
been engaged, the Fire Department will
act as reception committee and the floor
managers are S. A. Warner, J. A. Jensen
and Geo. l.. Ogden. Dance tickets are
one dollar and supper will be served at
the Bon Ton for seventy-6ve cents per
couple. Tickets are now ready and
agents will call upon you some time in
the next few days. No one should turn
them away without buying a ticket, and
all will be warmly welcomed at Acad-
envy hall Friday evening, February 3rd.
