Rev. j. G.. Preus and family of
Rochester, Mimi, who have been in
this state some time visiting relatives
at Mcfarland and DeForest, came
through Edgerton the latter part of
the week and took time to pay Mrs. A.
Jensen, Rev Grefthen and The Re-
porter pleasant call. Rev. Preus is a

The MELVILLE road which has been
the purgatory of all drivers is grad
ually being whipped into shape. The
road is rounded up, the bitches cleared,
and gravel filling hauled on. 1t is a
stony road, and stony gravel is hauled
on, but as the stone is raked off and
the dragging process assiduously at
tended to the road is becoming smooth,
even in those horrible hills, making it
pleasant for travellers, both those who
haul loads and those who travel for
pleasure.
-Threshing is in progress through
out the vicinity. The oats run rather
light, barley somewhat better in most
places; but the small grain crop in this
section is falling short of expectations.
The corn crop looks like bumper. The
hay crop is also light, though housed in
very good condition. Early potatoes
are promising a very light yield; in
many fields there is hardly sign of
the tuber, though the vines are green.
Rain may still produce fair crop of
potatoes.

some in Arizona, others in South Da-
kota, and others in Illinois, who had
not met in years. One car came from

pared for picnic outing and supper,

james Arthur was in from the
camp on the Haight preserve, at Lake
Koshkonong, last Saturday. He and
his wife are enjoying their summer
outing. There are about 80 cottages in
the camp, set on nice green lawns under
large naples and elms. Wells of flow
ing water in abundance furnish the
campers with the finest water supply
anywhere, and serves also all purposes
of refrigeration. Edgerton folks who
own cars may spend day most pleas
antly by taking round of the big lake
visiting the different camps situated
upon its shores.
"A number of parties motored to
Madison last Sunday to watch the home
team win another of the Tri-County
series. Waunakee plays Edgerton at
the Athletic field next Sunday. The
Waunakees are live players and will
put up an interesting game. After re-
cent victories it behooves the Trailers
to play every game at the top of the
GGdtu SOOu lOLIu. AS LIIC Settles pro-
crosses the interest in the outcome
grows, and Edgerton wants to carry
home the banner this year, and will if
it does not slip any cogs now. After
the game next Sunday only two more
games remain to be played on the home
