Booming a Town by Auto.

The Fort Atkinson business men par
ticipated Tuesday in what is probably
the most unique, as we'll as successful,
auto excursion thus far credited to any
city in the state. Fifty automobiles
were in line and each car represented
some business firm. Each car bore the
firms name and business, and also a
Fort Atkincon pennant. The autos
travelled about block apart, making a
line five miles long. A big automobile
truck carrying the Fort Atkinson band
led the procession. The days tour was
to Oconomowoc by the way of Jeffer-
son, WATERFOWL and Johnson's Creek,
returning through Rome, Sullivan and
Hebron. Aside from the pleasure feat
ure, the tour gave Fort Atkinson's
merchants and manufacturers some
splendid advertising.

Motorcycle Accident at Utica.

A bad accident occurred at Utica last
Friday evening. Joe Stoke was rid
ing motorcycle and met A. 0. Staff
and Gust Tergen and in some way he
ran into the horse and broke one of its
front legs. The horse fell onto the
motorcycle and rider, who received only
few scratches. The machine was
badly bent out of shape. The horse
had to be killed on the spot. There has
been little too much of this fast rid
ing on the streets of Utica of late, and
perhaps this will be a warning to 9TH
ers. The horse belonged to Tergen and
is quite loss to him as he is farm
hand working by the month.

and the hours from to were pleas
antly passed. Mrs. Crittenden is one
of those kind dispositioned, aged ladies
and guests always feel warm welcome
IN her presence. She was the recip-
lent of number of presents in memory
OF the day, and all joined in wishing to
be permitted to gather many more
times for like occasions.
