Mrs. w. w. Williams of Norwalk,
CAL, arrived during the week for an
extended visit to her son Frank and
old time friends in Edgerton.
Miss Bertha Volkman of Eau Claire
and Miss Emily Sewell of GAINESVILLE,
former teachers here, are guests at
the Mabbett home for a few days.
Harry Bucknall and wife went to
Sun Prairie last Friday, where they
remained over Sunday as guests of
their son George and family and other
| relatives
"A half dozen Beloit autos filled
with boosters for Dell Chamberlain for
sheriff, accompanied by a band and a
quartet of singers, paid Edgerton a
! visit Wednesday afternoon.
"A small telescope containing boys
clothing and package was either TAX
en- by mistake or placed in the wrong
buggy here Wednesday evening. No
tify Will Wright or leave at City Gro
Gerry.
The announcement is sent out from
Madison that the grading Of a section
between Stoughton and Edgerton of
| the Madison-J anesville interurban line
has been let to a contractor and work
will commence at once. Well believe

| The new barn on the farm of Sam
uel Clark in Albion was christened with
dance given on Tuesday evening, at
tended by about so couples from this
city and countryside, which proved
most enjoyable affair. Williams or
chestra furnished the music.
The federal courts are disposed to
strictly interpret the law as regards
dunning people on postal cards. Re-
| Gently a Beloit minister was arrested
and brought into court, charged with
having sent another minister post
card asking for remittance of $500
which he claimed to have coming. He
| did not know that it was violation of
the postal laws to send "dunning let
| tiers" through the mails in other than
sealed letters. Judge Sanborn SEN
fenced him to 60 days in jail and to pay
fine of $1OO, but suspended the SEN
tence and fine.
The main travelled road to James
vile is now getting into the best con-
dition it has been in for years and with
little more work will become most
acceptable highway. The town of
GAINESVILLE has graded the remaining
section south Of the Fulton line, and if
the road drag could be employed now
after each rain this road would soon be
in good shape. The newly graded
stretch in Fulton, however, needs roll
ing before anything can be said in its
favor. Unless this is done soon the
road will be well nigh impossible after
rains.
1t was sane enough 4th in Edger-
ton this year, that's certain. There
was not enough stirring on the business
streets during the day or evening to
| keep those who wanted quiet day
from being lonesome. The nearest to
an item of news The Reporter could
discover was the misfortune that befell
little Carl Jacobson, son of our baker.
He was busy shooting frecrackers in
the early morning when his reserve
supply in one of his pockets got on fire
and there was plenty of trouble for
scared boy as his clothing also began
to smoke. DR.. Smith, who was pass
ing at the time, stripped the clothes off
and the last seen Of him he was skid
ding under bare poles around the cor
ner toward home with what was left of
his clothing in his arms.
What a graceful act it would have
been had L. E. Gettle resigned his po-
sition as clerk on the school board
Monday evening and let the annual
meeting elect successor who lives
to the duties of the position. Mr.. Get
tie is now serving the state as secre-
tary of the railway commission, has
purchased a home and removed his
family to Madison and cannot in the
nature of his Office give much attention
to school matters in this city. The
clerk is generally conceded the execu-
tive officer of the school board to whom
something is paid for the time he de-
votes to his duties and above all should
be resident of the district and Access
sible when needed. In reply to ques-
| ton raised at the meeting, Mr.. Gettle
very properly explained that he still
held his voting residence in Edgerton
and illegally could hold his Office which
he would continue to do until voted out
out by the district" No one doubts
