The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1919-06-13
Lincoln Chautauqua starts Monday,

j
June 80, aud lasts six days.
Gov. Philip, George Hudnal, L. c.
Whittet and S. Banks came down from
Madison on the evening train Saturday
and went to camp at Koshkonong for a
/ short stay.
To all appearances there will be no
4th of July celebration in Edgerton this
year. Happy reunions and family
gatherings will be patriotism enough
for this year.
p. M. Ellingson, who has been at
the Lockwood hospital for several days
on account of infection in flesh wound
on one of his limbs, is slowly mending
and probably will be able to return
home in few days.
| w. A. Rorgnis has rented the Behl-
ing building, lately occupied by Pyre &
| Wanamaker, and will in the course of
| few weeks remove his stock to that
store where he will have ample room
to display his stock.
Jay Campbell, recently returned
from service over there, son of Fred
Campbell and wife, left Tuesday morn
ing for Tuscon, Arizona, to fill an en-
gagement with mining company. He
expects to be located in Mexico later
| on.
The annual picnic of the Rock
| County w. C. T. u. will be held at the
county farm Tuesday afternoon, June
18th. There will be good program.
Flowers and papers will be distributed
to the inmates. A picnic supper will
be served. Be at the library at o'clock
sharp.
"A camping party composed of
Miss Hahn, Miss Lyon, Miss Berg
strom, Miss Olson, Miss Gustavson,
teachers in the public schools, and Mrs.
Lloyd Severson of Stoughton, chaper-
oned by Mrs. Almer Aalseth, were at
Kegonsa the last few days of the week.
They broke camp Sunday.
"A record kept by the local council
of defense of the names of soldiers,
sailors and marines who enlisted with
the army and navy from this commun-
ity, and posted in the window at the
post office, shows that 126 officers and
men are yet in the military and naval
| service of our government.
AT the alumni banquet last Tnurs-
day evening, held at the high school
gymnasium, about one hundred and
eighty were present. The officers
elected for the ensuing year were:
President, Mrs. Dean Swift; vice pres
ident, Walter Mabbett; secretary, Roll
land Kellogg; treasurer, Miss Isabelle
| Mcintosh.
The drive for the Chautauqua will
start Friday. Ringing of bells and
blowing of whistles will make the an
nouncement. When called upon by
ticket sellers for the Chautauqua be
prepared to buy and buy quick. The
price of tickets will be $3.50 for adults;
$1.1O for children. These prices in
clude war tax.
New sidewalks have recently been
laid on the approaches to East Fulton
street bridge. These will be appre-
ciated by the travellers that way and
by the residents beyond the creek in
particular, for it has been a slippy,
dangerous place in any damp weather.
The east side approach extends as far
as the Trailer plant.
The Lincoln Chautauqua will begin
their engagement here Monday, June
80. There will be six days and the
program is one that should attract
large audiences each day. The Chau-
tauqua comes to Edgerton under the
auspices of the Federation of Women's
Clubs and that is one more reason why
it should be given liberal support.
Apparently the sentiment is wide
spread favoring the purchasing of the
Ole Moen and some adjoining proper
ties for central city park. 1t is a
large proposition and there are many
others who are of the opinion that due
deliberation should be given before the
final step is taken. The question of
bonding the city for so large an amount
would be very properly handled if the
taxpayers were given an opportunity
to vote upon it.
"A district convention of the organ
ization known as the Norwegian Luth-
eran Church of America will be held at
Stoughton, Wis, for the week COM
mencing with June 18th. at which all
of the churches located east of the
Mississippi river and affiliated with that
organization will send representatives.
The delegates elected by the local Nor
