Mrs. Jay Wescott and daughters

she hoped The Reporter would come to
her new home regularly.
p. M. Ellingson, who has been at

"A linen shower was rendered Miss
Anna Knoll at the home of her uncle,
John Rousch, last Thursday evening,
to which about forty guests were pres
ent. The evening was passed at cards
and lunch was served. 1t was most
pleasant affair and the hour was late
before all departed for home. Miss
Knoll, who in the near future is to wed
Mr.. DeWitte Castator Of GAINESVILLE,
received many gifts that will be useful
in housekeeping.
W. J. Schumacher commenced on
| Monday to remodel the Beihling store
building to be occupied by w. A.
Borgnis in the near future. The entire
front is to be removed and a modern,
up-to-date one put in it's place. The
new front will extend some over six
feet out from the present line. With
the remodeling of the whole store and
a good location, coupled with Mr..
Borgnis' business tact, the stand
ought to be good one as business
getter.
The dates of the GAINESVILLE fair
have been set for Sept. l, 2, 3, A. One
of the features of the free attractions
vii! be thrilling airplane flights by
Lieutenant Diggins who will perform
every stunt that it is possible to do
with an airplane. He is fearless fly
er, we'll versed in the game, and capa-
BILE of furnishing number of thrills.
For long time he was attached to the
Royal Flying corps of Great Britain,
later becoming connected with the
American aviation section overseas. AS
another feature of the air program he
has agreed to carry passengers in some
of his less dangerous flights. No doubt
a number of local people will avail
themselves of the opportunity of rid
ing in plane for the first time.
"A company of about thirty-fve
friends assembled at the home Of John
Thoreson and wife on Rollin street last
Friday to participate in celebrating the
twenty-ffth anniversary of their we'd
ding day. It was a complete surprise
to the Thoreson family but a most
pleasurable evening was passed. The
company came with well filled baskets
and bounteous wedding dinner was
served. Mr.. and Mrs. Thoreson were
presented with some handsome pieces
of silverware besides purse of money
in silver. Guests from out of town
were Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson, Mrs.
Adolph Olson and daughter of Slough
ton and Miss Margit Emerson of Chi
cago. Mr.. and Mrs. Thoresen have a
host of friends in Edgerton not present
at the Friday evening gathering who
join in extending to them hearty con-
>gratulations.
For throwing beer bottle through
the windshield of car he met .on the
road between Beloit and GAINESVILLE one
night last week and injuring the occu-
pants quite seriously, Harold Smith, a
Rockford taxicab driver, was sentenced
to three year term at Waupun. Smith
claimed that the reason he threw the
bottle was because the driver of the
large machine refused to dim the pow
erful headlights. He was in the wrong,
of course, and so was the man he met.
If there is any one regulation regarding
driving autos which ought to be strict
ly observed, it is to dim the lights when
two cars meet. The powerful head
lights carried by some cars put the
driver of car in the opposite direction
