John Walters of Oregon and his
wife were in Edgerton Wednesday to
call on old friends and acquaintance.
Mr.. Walters called at the Reporter
Office to see the boys. He is as cheer
full as ever. He raises 80 acres of to-
bacco on his 600 acre farm, and seemed
to think that this is not the worst
country to live in.
The welcome to Rev. Atkins and
farewell to Prof. Frank Holt and fam
lily arranged by the members of the
Congregational church last Sunday was
attended by more than hundred peo-
pie who gathered in the church parlors
directly after the close of the morning
service. A picnic dinner was served
and pleasant social time enjoyed.
The Jefferson county fair Sept. ID
to II inclusive, promises to be one of
the finest in the history of the county.
The management is making big prepa-
tons for the night fair. There will be
ten big free acts and monster display
of fireworks. The horse races will be
worth coming long ways to witness;
the stock exhibits, including the cham
pion heifer of the county farm, are
certain to interest everybody. Jefier-
son county can deliver the goods.
The way in which the women have
been preparing to make proper and in
telligent use of their new given right
to vote is an indication of the influence
which they are going to exert as vot-
ers. Previous to the primary election
they came together in meetings and
ascertained in detail the things for
them to do. Such meetings were held
in the Albion town hall under auspices
of the Campus club, and in the library
hall at Edgerton upon the call of the
Federated Women's clubs. Good sized
crowds came to both meetings. The
Albion meeting was addressed by men,
the Edgerton meeting by women, Mrs.
Deist and Mrs. Howell of Madison.
The men have nothing on the women
speakers when it comes to making
clear and vigorous statements.
| The Atwell-Dallman Drug Co. had
its cellar broken into a week. ago last
Wednesday night and quantity of
whiskey stolen. The robber or robbers
had entered through the front stairs
leading into Mr.. Quigley's place of bus
mess, the front door of this room al
ways left open, and from there passed
through the Badger cellar into the
cellar of the drug store. A Ratchet
and bar had been used to force open
the doors between the rooms in the
Easements. The door leading to the
alley had evidently been opened from
the inside and the loot carried to rig
of some sort waiting there. The job
finished, one of the party locked it and
walked out through the front entrance
to the Quigley quarters. The load,
which is said to represent seven cases
of pint bottles, had been driven to the
Edgerton Driving Park. Under the
grandstand the bottles had been emp
tied into larger containers, and the
boxes and empty bottles left. Several
interested parties went up to view the
remains. That the robbery had been
engineered by persons who well knew
the lay of the land is evident.
