with her sister, Mrs. Heddles, at Lake

The marriage OF Frank Young and

service with bright singing and short

The music pupils OF Mrs. Matte
HaylocI< gave most interesting recital
at her home on Main street Monday
evening. There we're assembled about
forty parents and invited guests, to lis
ten to fine program that gave evidence
of skillful training. Light refreshments
were served and the evenings entertain
ment much enjoyed.
The celebration and picnic here on
the 4th gives promise of being worthy of
the large attendance expected. In the
race program there are four events and
this alone will be worth the small ad-
mission charged. The ball game, GRAFTON,
music and good evening program will
make something doing all day long.
Announcements ore made in large ad
on inside pages of this issue.
AT 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
June 25th, Mr.. Ross Coon and Miss Maud
Whittet were married at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. FL.
Whittet in Milton. Those in attendance
from here were: Henry Ebbott and
wife, Mary and Alyce Ebbott, Olga
Hanson. Mae Davis, Clara Pomeroy,
Cassie Scofeid, Frank Cook and wife,
John Bickle and wife.
Mr.. Horace Warner of Washington,
D. c., was guest Of his neice, Mrs. w.
T. Pomeroy, for short time this week.
Mr. Warner served during the civil war
in the same company with G.. 81. Dickin-
son in the 22d Wis. Vol. Inf. and these
veterans held most enjoyable reunion
here after an absence of 40 years. He
was the only survivor of father and
two sons that enlisted at Fulton and he
left an arm on a southern battlefield.
The annual banquet of the alumni
of the Edgerton High School, held at
the Carlton hotel Wednesday evening
proved very pleasant occasion. One
hundred and seven covers were laid for
a most delightful repast served by
Landlord Touton. The toasts, literary
and musical program published last
week was carried out to the satisfaction
OF those present. Because the regular
graduating exercises did not take place
at the usual time, diplomas were pre-
sented the graduating class on this oc-
caslon.
-Unfortunate is the man who per-
mits himself to be elected to the Office of
alderman in towns of the size of Edger-
ton. Whatever he does he is sure to be
abused berated and condemned by
certain portion Of his constituents. He
is seldom given credit of doing what he
thinks is right, his motives are miscon-
strued and his official acts subject to
censure. IL he does not respond to the
petitions and vagaries of those who de-
sire to reform the world, he is an enemy
of the people and liable to be lectured
from the pulpit and by the press. He
cannot please all and generally ends by
offending great many more. The bus
mess men of the town cannot afford to
take the Office and men without business
qualifications do not make the best al
dermen. It is coming to a pass when no
self respecting citizen will accept such
will be lowered. The fruits of such con-
dtions are already apparent in our own
city where two aldermen, elected this
spring, have resigned because of criti-
cism and unpleasantness engendered.
What is needed i. more charita bleness
and less fault finding. Give the men
elected to such Office credit for at least
trying to do what is right and the CON-
munity would get along good deal bet
ter. After having elected man to Office
to represent your interests, give him a
chance to exercise his judgment without
the embarrassment of petitions on every
inconceiveable subject. If he is wise
man he will represent the prevailing
sentiment.
