Former GAINESVILLE Merchant Dead.

The news of the death of w. H.
Greenman of the firm of Bort, Bailey
& Co. of this city and Beloit was a
shock to his host of friends in this city
where he made his home for many
years.
The sad news came to his partner, F.
J. Bailey, last Monday from Utica, N.
Y, where Mr.. and Mrs. Greenman
were visiting relatives.
Mr.. Greenman's health has not been
the best for some time, and his visit to
the east was for recuperation and rest,
in the state where he was born and
where his youth was passed. "A mer-
chant in the state of his birth, he be-
came merchant in Wisconsin, and
choose GAINESVILLE as his home, until
about year ago when Mr.. Bort re-
tired from the firm which necessitated
his removal to Beloit in order to man
age the firms business there. Re
corder.

Safe and Sane Fourth.

1t was a sure enough sane and safe
Fourth in Edgerton this year. The
sign of nothing doing" was posted
everywhere about town and at some
hours of the day quietness was sodense
that it could almost be cut up. People
mostly stayed in the shade on their
own lawns or went out of town where
the eagle was advertised to do some
screaming stunts. Stoughton induced
three or four hundred Edgerton people
to see their celebration, where the
Courier-Hub says 1000 people saw a
one-sided ball game and balloon as
cension and then comments thusly:
'.The program, such as it was, began
on time, and was carried out as we'll as
could be. That there should have been
more features for the entertainment of
the immense crowd of visitorswas self
evident yesterday
MANY visited the lake and river re-
sorts and the celebrations at Fort At
kinson, Whitewater and Milton were
also patronized by Edgerton people,
but the larger share we think, stayed
at home and enjoyed the benefit of a
quiet day. There was but little powder
burned and hence no accidents, and in
short, a sane and safe Fourth.
