tanned by Charlotte Johnson and Anne
liza Holland at the latter's home.
The Lincoln Chautauqua with an
excellent program will be held at

many worthy attractions.
w. A. Shelley was out from Mil
waukee for a short stay early in the
| week. He has recently opened branch
store at Waukesha in partnership with
Assemblyman Lang of that district,
which he reports is enjoying a fine
trade.
-Theo. Clarke advertises elsewhere
in this issue that he has sold out his
piano business in GAINESVILLE and is clos
ing out part of the stock at his Ed

Now is the time to get piano at bed
rock figures. Notice his ad.

The Madison Gas and Electric Co.
has entered into a contract with the
| Southern Wisconsin Power Co. to re-
ceive all power from the Prairie du Sac
dam after October 1st. Current will

With the exception of 1882, the 4th
! of July, 1915, was the coolest on rec
ord at the Washburn Observatory. The
thermometer register 81 degrees at the
lowest point Sunday and furnace fires,
heavy wraps and other winter comforts
were almost necessity. The precipi-
| tation for June, while it rained Is
DAYS, was only 1.35 inches or 2.75 in.
below the normal.
The Lyric will show "The Diamond
from the Sky" Monday. This is said
to be the greatest serial picture ever
produced, costing $500, 900, and featur-
ing Lottie Pickford and Irving Cum
mings. The first chapter is in three
reels, the following chapters in two
reels. There will be good comedy
subject shown also. Ten thousand dol
! lars is offered to the man, woman or
child who submits the best suggestion
for a SEQUEL to "The Diamond from the
Sky"
The Chautauqua opened suspicious
ly Monday with program that was
very satisfactory. The attendance was
! fully up to expectations Notwithstanding
the various independence day diver
slons. Some of the best talent of the
series is reserved for the closing days
of this week. Those of our readers
who have not yet patronized these en-
tertainments should not fail to do so
tomorrow and next day. The general
impression is that the management is
furnishing even better program than
last year and in every way worth its
price.
-Edgerton experienced a sane 18th
this year and the general opinion seems
to prevail that we like it. Of course
many of our people attended out of
town celebrations, some at Stoughton,
! a few at the horse races at Sun Prairie
and others the auto races at GAINESVILLE,
but those who spent the holiday at
home in their own way, away from the
crowds, hustle and noise of an old time
4th appreciated the change. There
were picnics, fishing parties and fam
lily gatherings plenty, but the quieter
and saner methods of observing the
holiday is gaining in popularity.
In response to an invitation from
Mrs. Scott Hatch, the w. c. T. U. to
the number of about thirty, women and
children, hied themselves to the Hatch
cottage on Rock river June "a, with
baskets we'll laden with good things to
eat and spent very pleasant day.
Dinner was served at noon and after
that a fine program under the leader
/ ship of Mrs. Greenwood was enjoyed
by ALL Lila Clifford in her usual pleas
/ ing manner, gave several fine readings
