Equity Meeting Postponed.

Owing to the recent thaw and rain
which has brought the tobacco in case
throughout the country and has enabled
the farmers to take their tobacco down
from the poles. it has been deemed nee
essary to postpone the proposed county
meeting of tobacco growers which was
fixed for the 18th of December. This is
due to the fact that farmers will be busy
stripping tobacco, consequently would
not have time to attend the meeting, but
arrangements have been made with one
of the most able speakers in Kentucky
TO be with US week some time the be-
ginning of the new year when arrange
ments will be made to hold meetings in
Rock, Dane, Vernon and Crawford coun-
ties with. view of making permanent
arrangements for the sizing, and handl.
ing of our tobacco prior to the pooling
which will be done if not disposed of in
reasonable length OF time.
1t Is rather unfortunate that it is
found necessary to postpone these meet
ings, but it is hoped that the growers
will have their tobacco in the bundle by
the first of the year and be in better
shape to attend meeting than they
would now under the circumstances.
The Rock county meeting of tobacco
growers of the A. S. of E. will be held on
the 17th, at the City hall in GAINESVILLE
and large crowd from various towns 10
Rock and Dane counties is expected to
be In attendance.

GEORGE WILLIAM GESSERT.

George William Gessert passed from
earthly cares at his home in this city
Sunday afternoon, Dec 8, 1907 Funeral
services were held from the Catholic
church Tuesday forenoon, conducted by
Father Harlin, and interment was made
in Fassett cemetery.
George Gessert was born on the home
farm, one mile east of this city, Feb. II,
1877, third child of John and Caroline
Gessert On Sept. %, 1901, he was united
in marriage to Miss Jennie Horton and
from this union two children we're born,
Irma and Mary. For more than year
his health had been poor and last spring
he went to New Mexico in hopes that
the change in climate would prove bene-
fetal. but to no avail and he returned
home only to remain with wife and
children but few short days. The
sympathy of all is extended to the wife
and family in their hour of sadness.

Tobacco Notes

Mr.. M. L. Souders, with the Empire
Line at Cleveland, Ohio. and Mr.. j. P,
Wolfe, who represents this territory,
were calling on Edgerton friends We'd
nesday.
Farmers who desire to have their new
tobacco assorted and packed in ware
house style, at reasonable price, and
storage furnished if desired, may learn
something to their advantage by calling
at the Office of E. M. Hubbell. 2w4
John O'Leary OF this city is the first,
of whom we have any knowledge, who
has marketed tobacco. He delivered the
product of half an acre, Tuesday, to the
American Cigar Company for $3.50. This
is no indication, however, that the to-
bacco market has opened, for Mr..
OLeary contracted his crop before it
was planted Viroqua Republican
The American Cigar Company is "up
against it" as much as anyone during
this financial stringency, and in order to
|curtail expense has given notice to re-
duce it's local force here to one man.
The present status of the tobacno mar
ket is not encouraging for an immediate
moving of the past seasons crop. The
farmers, who have organized for the
marketing of their crops, and it looks a
little as though they we're going to force
the farmers to hold their crop until they
got good and ready to buy it. The indie
pendent buyers are tied hand and foot,
for they still have their last years pack
ing on hand with no apparent market
for it. 1t looks to an experienced to-
bacco man whom we talked to few
days since, as though the growers would
be fortunate if they found market for
their this years crop before March of
next year.-Brodhead Register

Recruits for the Service Being Solicited
I'm the Country.
Serg. Carr of the q. S. Marine Corps
was in town Monday looking up recruits
for the U. s. Marine Corps and while
here appointed DR.. B. L. Cleary examin-
ing surgeon. Applicants for enlistment
must be between the ages OF l9 and IS
years. The minimum height is feet, 5
inches, weight 120 pounds and must
have good eyesight and hearing.
Recruits are now being sent to Wash
ington, D. G. This is a very desirable
station and young men have plenty of
spare time to be to themselves and see
around the city. They are not cooped
in but ara given ample opportunities.
This is true of any station or ship to
which they may be assigned during their
service.
After enlisting young man has no
further expense. The government gives
him transportation and meals enroute.
His pay is absolutely above all expense.
His board, guar tiers and clothing are tie
best; his allowance for clothing is about
five dollars per month, which supplies
him with every article of clothing he
wears as we'll as his uniform, and if he is
careful with his clothing the balance
saved is paid him in cash when he is
discharged; this frequently amounts to
over one hundred dollars. If he is sick
his pay does not stop, and he has no
bills to payson account of his sickness.
If be becomes unfit for active service.
the government takes care OF him for
life. At the end of four year enlist
ment he gets four cents mile from the
place of enlistment to the place OF dis
charge for his transportation home. He
does not leave the service broke, but has
comfortable sum with which to begin
civil life.
His pay depends altogether upon his
qualifications, only the beginner receives
the lowest pay of thirteen dollars per
month; this is increased by promotion,
length of. service, qualifications as ma
rineman on the target range, for his
qualifications as signalman at sea and
for other qualifications. In foreign pos
sessions his pay is 20 per cent. higher.
Bright, ambitious men can expect rapid
promotion, there is no bar to the highest
ranks in the service. The better the
man the better are his prospects. En-
tering the Marine Corps does not mean
that q young man gives up chance of ad
vancements Ambitious young men are
the type desired.
While the duties of marine are
purely military, the service gives oppor
tunities to men who desire to earn more
than the regular pay. Men who can do
office work not only receive extra pay,
but their service is made congenial and
light. Cooks and bakers are in demand;
they receive extra pay and are we'll paid.
BARRIERS and tailors are always in de-
mand and their opportunities are made
especially attractive. All men employed
at special duty are excused from the or
binary routine and are given the best
opportunities. Men are not required to
work at their trade but are given an op-
portunity to do so, with extra pay, if
they request it. @

Obituary..
f. r. wEsCoTT.

After long and painful illness, Frank
lin r. Wescott, for over fifty years res
ident of~Albion, passed to his final rest
early Monday morning. For number
of years he had been a great sufferer,
but with remarkable energy and per
sistency he kept at his work until seven
or eight months ago.
He was the son of Rial and Mircy
Shaw Wescott, and was born in Berlin,
Rensselaer, county, N. Y, August 6, 1927
In early childhood he moved with his
parents to Oneida county, N. Y, thence,
after year or so, to Alfred, N. Y. Here
he grew to manhood, developing the
rugged hillsides of the Empire state.
He wasqaarried to Miss Harriet Lang
worthy October Is, 1851. Four years
afterward, joining the tide of emigra-
ton westward he settled in Albion
June, 1856. and united with the Seventh
day Baptist church of that village.
Four children came to bless their
home. Their son William died in Fort
Atkinson less than two years ago. The
three daughters, Mrs. Sarah Conway OF
Chicago, Mrs. Louise Babcock of Osh-
kosh, Wis, and Mrs. Marian Davis of
Albion, have had the privilege of minis
tering to him during his last sickness.
These, with the faithful companion who
has been the JOY and inspiration of his
life for more than fifty six years and who
has patiently, bravely and tenderly cared
for him during these months OF helpless
ness, are left to mourn his departure.
Mr.. Wescott surprised his many friends
by surviving surgical operation last
August, which he went to Chicago to
have performed. This would not have
been possible for one of eighty years of
age had he not lived strictly temper
ate life. He had never INDUCED in the
drink or tobacco habit. He will be
greatly missed in this locality where his
genial face has been so familiar for more
than half century.
A large company of relatives and
friends assem- bled at the home on Fri
day afternoon to pay their last tribute
love and respect to a loving husband
and father, kind neighbor and faith
full friend. The service was conducted
by his pastor. Burial in Fassett ceme-
terry, Eagerton.
