Another train load of lambs from
the Wood Live Stock Co. of Spencer,
Idaho, came into the Edgerton yards
for a short stay this week, and topped
the Chicago market when forwarded.
The Wood Live Stock Co. is a Mormon
concern and conducts one Of the larg-

The Whitewater Register is run
ming very interesting account of ''The
Early Taverns III Wisconsin," written
by j. H. Lachner. From the same we
learn that the town of Johnstown in
Rock county derived it's name from the
fact that John A. Fletcher, in an early
day, was one of the four men all named
Ohm who laid out the township. Hence
the name, Jamestown.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. HubbelI left
on the Thursday morning train for
visit to the Pacific coast, spending some
time with Mr.. Hubbell's father at Los
and with their daughter who
has been with her grandfather the past
year. They will also visit the exposi-
lions and make the journey leisurely,
stopping at various points of interest
en- route, expecting to be absent sew
eral weeks.
The Lehman Bros. are shipping
their road building outfit to Avalon,
where they have a contract of 5000
yards of concrete highway through the
village. They finished their work on
the cemetery road Saturday, where
about 1000 feet of curb and gutter was
built to protect the concrete road from
washouts, such as occurred few weeks
ago. It is expected that the cemetery
road will be thrown open to traffic in
few days.
"A most excellent lecture course
has been secured to be given at the P.
M. church on Albion Prairie the COM
ing season. The first of the series will
take place Thursday evening, Oct. Il,
given by the All Brothers Quartette in
a program of many unique features.
The quartette is composed of full
brothers who have an unusual gift as
musicians. An entertainment we'll
worth the attendance of the entire
Prairie community is promised.
The frost is surely on the pumpkin
but there is very little of the fodder
vet in the shock. The first really hard
freeze to mark much Vegetation in this
locality came Friday night and it was a
singer, too. The corn fields and all
tender vegetation have been blackened
by it and the trees have taken on more
of the autumn tints since Much of the
corn was green yet but something like
half a crop will be harvested. Tobacco
was practically all shielded but the
frost was almost severe enough to
touch the uncured leaf within the sheds.
Weather permitting, it is proposed
to close the baseball season with an at
traction that will appeal to every local
fan on Friday afternoon. The Chicago
Leland Giants have been secured to
play the Edgerton city team which will
be reinforced by some professional tai
ent, among which is Billy Sullivan and
James Scott, a present member of the
pitching staff of the White Sox. The
game is given under the auspices of
the T. A & B. society and will start at
2:30 o. m Admission 25 cents to ALL
There are in all 356 makes of auto
mobiles registered in the state of Wis
consin. Of this number pit makes are

sented by less than 10 cars. Eighteen
makes are represented by less than 10
cars; II makes are represented by 500
cars and over and represent rs per
cent of the total cars. Of these II

Buick second with 5,765; the Overland |
third with 4,470; the Studebaker fourth |
with 2, 545, and the Maxwell fifth with |
2, OLA. The above is taken from the |
state reports. One amusing thing |
about the valuation of cars is that in |
