The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1911-01-06

Henry TellefSon has been conIneu
to his home with severe cold for
few days this week.
Rev. MacInnis is preparing a box
of clothing to send to the children OF
destitute families in Chicago. Anyone
having children's clothing, boys or
girls, to spare can leave same at the
parsonage. The box will be sent on
Friday of this week.
Some handsome calendars have
been distributed by the business houses
of Edgerton this season. Both banks,
Peters Bros, Leedle & Co., Tall &
Shaw as well as others, but none OF
them have anything over those sent
out by the Edgerton Cigar Co.
The new proprietor of The Carlton,
Mr.. Cutlery, has already started some
extensive improvements and expects to
largely refurnish the hotel, putting
everything in order for an up-to-date
hosiery. George HARRISON has been
engaged as day clerk and jamie Clarke
as night Clerk.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. G. Hanson enter
tanned the Jensen family gathering on
New Years, at which nearly forty were
present. Among those from out of
town were Osman Gunderson and chill
dren of Stoughton, Mel Johnson and
wife of Madison and S. L. Emery and
wife of Albion.
TT re was pleasant family gath
ering at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j..
o. Henderson on Thursday last when
the children came home for holiday
greeting of their parents. Among those
present were Will Henderson and fam
lily of Fulton, Aft and family of Milton
junction, DIR. Fred and wife of Slough
ton, Mrs. Nichols of Viroqua and A. E..
Skinner and family of this city.
The Mems Club of the Congrega-
tional church held another interesting
meeting at the home of Ed Peters Fri
day evening. The postal bank bill was
the topic for discussion, led by L. E.
Gettle and Roy Wright, who brought
out the main provisions of the measure
and told what the government intended
to accomplish by guarding the savings
of the people. Refreshments were
served those in attendance.
The county board, which is in ses-
sion, met with surprise Wednesday
when it became apparent that the re-
firing register of deeds, c. H. Weirick,
following a decision in Dane county,
had neglected to draw his salary and
had withheld the fees of the office in
stead. Acting under advice of his coun-
sci, it is claimed that no legal contract
had been made with the board relating
to compensation. AS it is estimated
that the fees collected amount to about
81, 900 more than the salary, Mr.. Wei
rick can probably meet his expenses in
the litigation with the board which
tried to prevent his copying the records
and failed.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders in the Tobacco Exchange bank
was held in the directors room Tues
day afternoon, when the entire list OF
officers and board of directors, consist
ing of Andrew Jensen, w. S. Heddles,
w. A. Shelley, VIM. Bussey, c. G..
Biederman, D. l.. Babcock and Alex
White, were reelected. The reports
presented showed that the bank had
enjoyed a larger business during the
year than any in it's history. Nearly
| Sc, 900 had been expended on the Bank
block in converting it into a modern
and up-to-date building. For the con-
venience of farmers and others who
need convenient and inexpensive place
to keep their valuable papers, the bank
has added new section to its safety
deposit vaults which are rented as low
as $1.00 per year each.
While out on the farm assisting his
brother Herman about two weeks ago,
August Kruger was bitten in the foot
by dog, but no particular attention
was given the wound as the dog was a
young puppy and did the biting in a
playful mood. The wound became in
fected, however, and few days ago
blood poisoning set in, which has caus-
ed some alarm as to the outcome. DR..
| Martin is now in attendance and it has
been necessary to insert drainage tubes
to dispose of the pus. While present
| conditions are favorable, it will yet be
some days before the dangerous infec-
ton will be wholly disposed of. For
the past few days Mr.. Kruger has suf-
fered most severely from the pains,
but everything is being done to relieve
him and prevent amputation OF the
foot. The Reporter, with host OF
frieds, hopes that from now on condi-
