] -Thos. L. Stillman returned Thurs
day evening from winters stay at
Daytona, Florida, in good health and
spirits.
The first on the list to require the
attention of the new street commission
er is the piece of highway opposite the
cemeteries, which is in bad condition.
The proposition is to give this road
good coat of gravel secured from the
pit at Indian Ford.
Following in the wake of cold, driz-
zling rain and icy temperature which
prevailed all day Monday quite heavy
frost was visible again Tuesday morn
ing, which it is thought will put anoth-
er crimp into the fruit prospects and
early gardens. But the cold wave soon
passed.
w. D. North returned Saturday
evening from trip accompanying land
seekers to the Judith Basin, Mont. He
reports fine weather during his absence
and entirely escaping the big blizzard
that prevailed through the middle west
last week. He reports the country filling
up fast with emigration and land values
rapidly increasing. Winnie Smart, who
accompanied him, bought half section
| farm.
| The big barn, granary and hog barn
| on the farm of Henry ,Kranz a mile
and half from Lima, was totally de-
stroyed by fire Monday morning. The
origin of the flames is mystery and
were first seen in the top of the barn
and spread rapidly to the other build
ings. The contents of the other barns
were destroyed although no live stock
was lost. The property was fully in
sured.
Mrs. T. A. Perry departed Tuesday
on long journey to the City of Mexico
where she goes to bring back her little
granddaughter, Bertha Sloan Perry,
who will make her home here with her
parental grandparents in the future.
Bertha, the daughter of the late Oscar
Perry, was born in Mexico and has
since the death of her mother made
her home with her grandparents, Rev.
and Mrs. Sloan.
Instead of pulling up a record
breaking fish when his line was drawn
tight, Frank Buggs, boy fishing in the
Rock river at GAINESVILLE on Thursday
morning, pulled up mail pouch. On
examination by the postal authorities
it was found to be the pouch stolen on
the night of November II last from the
Northwestern depot platform there.
The pouch had been cut open, the con-
tents rifed, and from the tenor OF the
opened letters it seems that the thieves
made rich haul. The pouch was then
weighted and thrown into the river.
AT the close of quarter of CEN
tury of married life, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Stricken celebrated their silver
anniversary May 1st, 1910, at their
home in the third ward. There were
about hundred and fifty guests to
Join with them and the afternoon and
evening was passed in social way.
Rev. Spilman was present and made a
fitting speech for the occasion, the
wedding feast was served and the oc-
casion was equally as enjoyable as
when the happy couple were united by
Rev. Wildermuth Is years ago. They
received many beautiful presents, and
the we'll wishes OF their friends and
I'neighbors were prominently expressed
in many ways.
1t is seldom that city the size of
Edgerton is fortunate enough to secure
a musical entertainment such as the
D'Urbano's Italian band give, for
bands of this character are rarely dated
outside the larger cities. Jensen &
Pollard not only secured them for one
entertainment, but gave our people
three chances of hearing them and the
! large attendance at each attestS the
appreciation of the efforts of the hall
managers, and the high class music
furnished by the band. D'Urbano as
director and his musicians are number
ed among the best of musical organiza-
lions. and the vocalist, Miss Leonora
Amino, is sure to please any audience.
A concert on the street by this band
would be drawing card for Edgerton.
It's only a suggestion.

Interurban line near Portage which in
