The Edgerton business men met
defeat Thursday afternoon at the hands
of the Fulton farmers in the ball game
played at the Fulton community picnic.
The final score was to IA. The pic
mic itself was a success from every
point of view and was most enjoyable
affair. The Fulton folk in the past
have gained reputation OF doing
things right and whenever their annual
picnic is held large crowd is on hand
to enjoy the day.
-Threshing from the field, which
lasted the better part of week, was
finished on the Hurd farm in Fulton
Monday evening. Close to 5000 BUSH
els were threshed of all kinds and the
yield was exceptionally fine. One field
of IL acres of oats yielded 80 bushels to
the acre, barley about so bushels and
| wheat also turned out well. Farmers
have been more than pleased at the re-
| suits thus far obtained from grain
yields where threshing has taken place.
In the past few weeks numerous
applications for carnival permits have
been made Edgerton in time past has
had some experience with the carnival
crowd and has come to the conclusion
that the farther they pitch their tents
from our city the better it will be for
US. The authorities in charge of city
affairs have fatty turned down every
application and in most cases they were
slapped down so hard that they will not
apply a second time. In short, the car
nival is not elevating for any city.
In Edgerton on Wednesday and
Saturday nights pedestrians should
never cross the streets except upon the
crosswalks. Do not cut diagonally
across the intersection of streets or
across the middle of the block, but turn
square corners and go round the inter-
section. BY doing SO you may save an
accident to yourself because the driver
of car cannot always tell where you
are headed for when you cut across
diagonally. The system of car parking
is very we'll arranged by the police
force and every precaution is taken to
prevent accident.
