Mrs. George BurIeson of Williams
burg, Va, came to Edgerton last Fri
day with intention of visiting
old friends in Edgerton, Bussey-
vile and on Albion Prairie. 1t is six
teen years since the Burlesons moved
to Virginia and this is the first visit to
the old home by Mrs. Burleson in those
years. She was spending some time at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Houge of this city, resting after the
journey. Monday of this week wire
came to tell her that her son Loren had
been killed in an accident, and she took
the first train out. Her friends are
saddened by her sorrow. There were
six children in the family, Loren being
one of the elder children.
1t was Jersey Week" the first
week in June, devoted to the celebra-
ton of the virtues of the Iovable Jer-
sey cow. The praises of the fawn
colored herd were sung throughout the
country and rightly so. In the state
of Wisconsin where $4,000 pure
bred descendants of the black on
white danes from Holstein, and 20, 900
light brown on white of the Guernsey
ladies roam over the verdant pastures,
there are also 5000 purebred daughters
of the highspirited beauty princess from
the Jersey islands. The Reporter will
fall in line by paying it's compliments
to one prominent Jersey herd in this
neighborhood, the one owned by j. @.
Emery & Son on their farm west of
Albion. This herd has for years been
the pride not only of the owners, but of
the community, and we hope it will re-
main so in the future. The herd is
pretty sight whether in the barn or in
the meadow; it is pretty in the milk pail,
in the churn, and on the check at the
end of the month. Here is to the Jer-
sey, the modest but efficient friend of
healthy babies, the pride of prosperous
owners!
