The ladies of the NJ E. church will
serve supper next Wednesday after
noon from to Z o'clock.
The Ladies society of the Norweg-
ian church will be entertained by Mrs.
John Nelson in the basement of the
church, Thursday, July II.
Mr.. Smith, advance agent for the
Chautauqua to be given here the last
week of the month, was in town yes
terday arranging the details for the
entertainment.
Dogs played havoc with flock of
sheep on Frank Browns farm in Full
ton Sunday night, killing and manning
about Is head. 1t is safe to say that
any dog caught in that neighborhood
will stand a small chance of getting
away alive for some time to come.
The wedding of Elsie "A. Wussow
and Albert H. Fake of Chicago takes
place at the home of the brides faith
er, Charles Wussow, at eight o'clock
this evening. The father of the groom,
Rev. Robert Fake of Missouri will
perform the service.
The latter part of this month Ed
gerton will be favored with Chautau-
qua given under the auspices of the
Federation of Women's clubs by the
Jeffries- Wicks System, one of the lead
ing bureaus in the west. We begin
this week the publication of a series of
articles and illustrations depicting some
of the talent employed for the event.
The series of entertainments will be
fourteen in number. and the bureau
has number of these Chautauquas op-
Grating in this section of the state, the
talent going from one place to another
each day, making a complete change
of program daily. The programs will
be conducted in large, we'll ventilated
tent, centrally located on the high
school grounds. 1t is hoped that our
citizens will give this venture the lib
eral patronage it deserves. Few can
afford to miss it at the low price of adj
mission for the series of entertain
ments, which are of an unusually high
character.
Probably a great many people OF
Edgerton would be pleased to see an
addition built to the Child high school
building, but the action of the school
meeting in springing the proposition
without any previous notice to the pub
lie, seems very likely to meet with
some criticism. The levy of $10,0 tax
on the district by 22 votes is hardly a
fair expression of the wishes OF the
community. A matter of this import
ance should be freely discussed before
final action is to be taken. The COM
mon council is not permitted to expend
even $500 in improvement for the city
without ample notice being given the
public and the taxpayers an opportu-
nifty to be heard and yet twenty-five
voters in a meeting attended by less
than forty taxpayers saddle $4,000
tax on the community when they were
not even looking for or expecting it.
If the addition to the school building
is needed for school purposes by all
means let us have it and the city would
welcome any donation towardit, but let
it be done by consent of the taxpayers
after a fair notice has been given and
not by snap judgment seems to us
the proper procedure. 1t ought not
to hurt measure of this character to
take the public into it's confidence.
While driving up Main street on
Thursday morning, Alfred Summers
was struck by runaway horse be-
longing to the GAINESVILLE Pure Milk Co.,
which came dashing up main street be-
hind Mr.. Summers light wagon. The
milk wagon locked wheels with the
lighter wagon throwing Mr.. Summers
to the pavement, cutting large cash
in his head. The cut was of an ugly
nature it being located on the top
of the head. Mr.. Summers is expected
will suffer no i'll effects from the acct
dent. GAINESVILLE Recorder.
