from IL o'clock on.
Ray Fish has resigned his position

-Chas. F. Tallard, a former resident
of Edgerton seems to have secured the
primary nomination as democratic can
didate for state senate in Milwaukee
Tuesday in a special election to be held
to fill the vacancy caused by the ap-
pointment of Senator Fairchild to the
circuit bench.
The work of pouring the concrete
on the Swift street will be finished IN
one more day. Weather conditions
were such as permitted about 175 feet
to be laid each day. The contractors
have consented to permit the Washing
ton street Improvement to lay over
until spring.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. w. Sherman, who
have been visiting among relatives here
for week, returned to their home in

Train schedules were badly demon
allied Saturday. First car OF gravel

up traffic until after 9 p. m.
The regular monthly meeting of the
w. C. T. u. will be held at the home
of Mrs. Frank Pringle Friday after

-Edgerton dealers in bakery goods
have been advised of raise in the
price of bread. Hereafter cent loaves
will be sold for 6 cents, but 10 cent
loaves will remain at the old figure,
though their size and weight will not be
guaranteed. So the price of living has
nowhere reached the limit yet, we fear.
The annual chicken-pie dinner serv-

to complain as to the quantity or quail
itv of the meals served at their annual
dinners.
