SEYMOUR OFFERS $4,000 BONUS.

At the Business Mems association
meeting on Thursday it was decided
that the city donate $4,000 to the
Wisconsin & Northern railroad as an
inducement to build the road through
Seymour. The meeting was largely
attended and everyone present voted in
favor of the bonus. Seymour wants
the road if it is built.
A petition was circulated Tuesday,
and signed by nearly everyone, asking
the Railroad Commission to urge the
building of the road through Seymour.
AS the amount of freight and express
shipped in and out of Seymour is ten
times as great as that handled at Black
Creek, and with the s2O,O bonus, it
seems as if the company will act wise
and run their line through Seymour.

oCoNTo.FAIR, SEPT. S, 6, 2, and 9th.

! The Oconto County Fair dates this
year are Sept. 5, 6, and 9Th, and Sec
retary Chase is working hard to make
this years fair the best in its history.
Amsden's band of Menominee has been
engaged to furnish music and Mr..
Chase is letting contracts for numer-
Gus other attractions.
The Soperton ball team played with
Surfing at the Fair last year and the
contest was the best of any game
pulled off during the Fair. With a
little advertising in this vicinity the
Oconto Fair could draw large crowd
from this and neighboring towns if
arrangements could be made to get the
Soperton and Oconto Falls teams to-
gether at the Fair.
The Oconto Enquirer has the follow
ing to say about the games to be played
and it appears to be good arrange
ment:
There will be number of interest
ing ball games at the County Fair as
considerable rivalry exists between the
teams in the county, and besides look
ing for laurels the championship purse
could be nicely used by any one of them.
Games have been arranged between
Soperton and Oconto Falls and also be-
tween Lena and the Cubs. The plan of
having the winners in these two games
play it out is meeting with great favor
smong the fans and it is possible the
association will also hang sp a purse
for the county ch hnrnnionshin

WAS 1T "COLD FEET?"

What looks to us like a clear case of
"cold feet" occurred last Sunday when
the crack Bismark team of Green Bay,
who were.scLeduled to play here, failed
tu put in their appearance. Evidently
they were afraid their standing as one
of the best amateur teams in this sec
tion would take decided drop if they
they came.
The locals go to Laona next Sunday
and large crowd is expected to accom-
pany them as Laona slipped one over
on the home boys the last game they
played.
