The Independent telephone line
running from Edgerton to GAINESVILLE has
been completed. This gives connection
with the whole Independent system, and
by an agreement with the Bell people
with that line also. Before this agree
ment was made the Bell company
had but lit > business from this station
except on the toll line. On the new line
west of here, constructed by thirteen
farmers at cost of eighteen dollars
each, a station has been put in at the
Hanerville creamery, giving that section
complete connection with the telephone
system of the state. Farmer lines are
easily and cheaply constructed and are
slowly threading the rural districts in
every direction.
Conductor VIM. j. Durbin, who for
nearly quarter of century has had
charge of a passenger run between Mil
waukee ard North McGregor, retires
from the conductor service of the road
on the 18th inst. Durbin, who is one of
the most popular men on the line, has
been elected chairman Of the board of
the order of Railway Conductors, and
maintains an Office in Milwaukee. He
will be their representative for all griev-
ances arising between the ST. Paul com
pany and conductors who are members
of the order Mr.. Durbin will relinquish
his run on the road, but will retain his
right to resume it at any time. The
change will promote J. P. Ward, former
ly of Madison, from the position OF
freight conductor, which he has held for
many years, to that Of passenger con-
ductor.
The season for band concerts is APP
preaching and the greater number of
our citizens will be glad to once again
have the privilege of listening to the
weekly program to be given by the Cor
net band. Forget not though that it
costs real money to keep up musical
organization like the Edgerton Cornet
band, and it will be necessary for bust
ness men and citizens to make contribu-
tons for a concert fund to insure the
concerts during the summer season. I'm
doubtedly solicitors will call upon you
in the next few days, and when they
come make good by liberal subscrip-
ton. 1t is said, and rightly so we think,
that Edgerton has the best band in
southern Wisconsin, so why not support
it literally? The band concerts furnish
entertainment to several hundred peo-
pie weekly who perhaps would not come
to town were it not for the musical pro-
gram. That's another good reason for
liberal support.
