Several inches of snow fell here last Mr. H. K. GANNON was in the city Sunday visiting his relatives. Auction at Mrs. E. HOFFMANN on the Green Bay road tomorrow. Attend the sociable at the Turner Hall tomorrow evening. A brass band has been organized in Mequon by Prof. A. WEBER. A girl baby appeared in the home of Peter LANDFRIED in this city. Keep your sidewalks clear of snow and ice and thereby save trouble and expense. Cutters as well as sleighs were seen in the city for several days last week. Sleighing however was very poor. Miss Carrie LYNCH of Antigo is visiting in this city, the guest of her aunt, Mrs. P. K. GANNON. The parochial school, formerly taught by Rev. GEORGII but closed since he left Cedarburg, was reopened last Monday. On account of the snow and subsequent cold weather, no work could be done on the willow ware factory building the past week. A humane society has been organized here with John F. BRUSS as president, Anton ERTL as secretary and J. J. KRUAS as agent. Mr. Chas. BOETTCHER of this city wishes to dispose of his property. It’s a good business location and can be purchased at reasonable terms. Washington’s birthday on the 22d inst. was duly observed in this city. Some of our business places remained closed and the stars and stripes were seen waving in all parts of the city. The Milwaukee & Northern railroad’s earnings for the second week in February were $24,900, being an increase over the same week in 1889 of $4,080. George Washington was born February 22d 1732; just 158 years ago inst. Saturday. He died December 14th 1790 and it took three weeks to convey the news from Mt. Vernon to New York. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. McGOVERN’s many friends will be pleased to hear that he is able to be up and around. He spent last Monday at his office, the first day that he spent there for over two months. ~~~~~~~~~~~ MUSIC VEREIN SOCIABLE On Thursday evening (to-morrow), the quarterly sociable and election of officers takes place. No special invitations have been issued and everybody is invited. Bring your friends and neighbors with you, in fact, tell everybody you meet to attend the sociable. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The Lutheran congregation of which Rev. E. G. STRASSBURGER is pastor, have purchased several acres of land of Mr. G. HESPE on the Hamilton Road, which will be used as their burying ground, the one near the Wind Mill’s being filled and the land adjoining could not be purchased. Consideration $500. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Every day since about a week, the Milwaukee & Northern R. R. has run upwards of twenty-five trains through here. Most of these were ice trains from Random Lake. On Tuesday, another wreck happened near Saukville, several cars ran off the track. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The cattle fair last Monday was quite largely attended and considerable trading was done. We understand that the law requiring peddlers to pay a license will be more strictly enforced henceforth than it was heretofore and so the number of gatherers of live-stock is expected to be reduced. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A boom has struck our city which has long been looked for. Some of our business men are contemplating to buy the elevators and erect a large malt house, the willow ware factory is being erected, and work will soon commence on the wire nail factory. All of these new enterprises will employ a large number of men. ~~~~~~~~~~~ No final action in regard to the movement among business men to consolidate the interests of the elevators at the station into a stock company, has as yet been effected. Since the business in that line is very slow at present, it was thought best to wait for a short time until some other affairs could be settled and the market in the meantime become more active. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Another humbug of a troupe called the Juvenile Comedy Company tried to entertain our citizens at the Turner hall last Thursday evening by dancing, singing and cracking some stale jokes. Our people have been humbugged too often and are not very apt to attend those entertainments en masse. The troupe consisted of thirteen members, all of them remaining at the depot during the night, as the receipts were too small to pay for a night’s lodging. They left for Plymouth where they showed Friday evening. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Tramps, though not nearly so numerous this winter as they were other winters, occasionally pay our city a visit. We noticed one in deep meditation on corner Sheboygan street and Portland Place Monday afternoon. The school children would say they thought he must be making plans or wondering where he would repose during the coming night. Marshall KRAUSE generally is very liberal in helping them to solve the problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~ ATTENTION FARMERS! The undersigned having started a willow ware factory in Cedarburg, is prepared to furnish farmers and lot owners with scions of the best willows at $2.50 per thousand, and will give the necessary information as to planting. The raising of willows will pay better than any other thing a farmer can cultivate; they will grow on high and low lands equally well. – Frank HEISS ~~~~~~~~~~~ Supt. KREITZER found ten teachers present at the teachers’ meeting held at the school-house in this city Saturday last. Miss Jennie REYNOLDS was the only representative from town Mequon and Miss Maggie WHITFORD from Grafton. Cedarburg lying nearly midway between Grafton and Thiensville seems to be the suitable place for holding these meetings in this part of the county. At any rate, arrangements should be made so that the meetings may be held alternately at Thiensville and Cedarburg. A full attendance from each of the three towns would insure excellent results without a doubt. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A VALUABLE PURCHASE Messrs. J. H. PAULY & Son, the well-known Milwaukee firm, have purchased of the heirs of the late Fred HILGEN of this place, the property on River St. consisting of three lots and the south part of Martin St. vacated and at present occupied by Messrs. FETTE & HAERTEL as a coal and wood yard. The price paid is $20,000. The purchasers intend to use the lots to extend their business now at the corner of Oneida and River St., from and after July 5th next week when the lease of Messrs. FETTE & HAERTEL will expire. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A circular relating to public school libraries issued by State Supt. THAYER, and given to teachers at the late institute for their perusal contains some excellent uses the books, a list of which is given in the same pamphlet, may be put to. All school officers should interest themselves and aid the teachers in securing the amount of money due them for this purpose. They should also suggest to the town clerk and Co. Supt. Just what books they desire and which will be of most value for their particular use. Remember, the books are furnished by the State and cost the district nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The NEWS should be found in every home. No child will grow up ignorant who can be taught to appreciate the home newspaper. It is a stepping stone to intelligence in all those matters not to be learned in books. Give your children a foreign newspaper which contains not one word about any one person, place or thing which they ever saw or perhaps ever heard of, and how can you expect them to be interested? But let them have the home paper and with places with which they are familiar, and soon interest is awakened which increases with every daily arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed, and those children will read the paper all their lives and become intelligent men and women, a credit to their ancestors; strong in the knowledge of the world as of to-day. ~~~~~~~~~~~ LIST OF JURORS DRAWN FOR THE MARCH TERM OF CIRCUIT COURT, COMMENCING ON MARCH 4TH ‘90 Mequon: Theodor BUBLITZ, Martin BARTHEL, Philip SCHLEGEL, Emil SCHMECHEL, Henry SEIBERLICH, Fred LINDEN.

All of our enterprising citizens are working hand-in-hand to further the interest of the city and the vicinity in general. Messrs. John WEBER, E. G. WURTHMANN, Henry WURTHMANN and Fred KUETHER last week purchased the property of the late WEHAUSEN Mill Company. It is just about a year since the Excelsior Mills burnt out and it seems strange that some wide-awake firm did not sooner take advantage of the excellent opportunity for calling into life some new enterprise. The present owners after repairing the building, intend to fit it up with machinery necessary for the manufacture of wire, wire nails and wood screws. They will employ quite a number of hands after the factory will be in running order. The new business has been incorporated under the name and firm of “The Cedarburg Wire, Wire Nails and Screw Company” with a capital stock of $30,000. We wish the new com! pany abundant success in their enterprise. ~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. BENTLEY last Saturday. Miss Ottelie LAUSEN of Watertown is visiting relatives and friends here. A number of our residents are still sick with influenza and other causes. Mr. and Mrs. WHITEFORD we are glad to announce are convalescent after a few weeks illness. An infant child of Mr. and Mrs. F. TILLMAN was buried last week. We are sorry to announce that Mrs. Geo. ANSHEUTZ of this town has for some time been seriously ill and small hopes for her recovery remain. Mrs. FRICKE, the aged mother of Mrs. F. L. HARMS, died last Friday morning and the funeral took place Sunday P.M. from the residence of Mr. HARMS. Mr. S. LEITNER died on Friday last aged 74 years. The funeral took place Monday. It affords us pleasure to be able to recall the statement we made concerning Mrs. O’RAGAN, as the intelligence has been received here that the lady is recovering somewhat. The information of her death that was brought and spread here was erroneous. The son of Karl JAGER, a resident of our village, is awaiting his trial in the Port Washington jail for burglarizing the express station here, to obtain articles he had ordered C.O.D. and which he was not able to pay for. The Express Co. had for some weeks been searching for the pilferer. Parents can not too deeply impress upon the minds of their children that honesty is the best policy, as such an occurrence is very lamentable and grieving to the latter. ~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON Mr. John STEIN and wife of Baraboo are visiting friends here. Messrs. W. LETTOW, C. ZIMMERMANN and A. EHLERS of Milwaukee were here on a visit for a few days. Mr. Theo. BECKER, son of Mr. Fred BECKER of our town, was painfully injured some time ago by a team of runaway horses. We are glad to state that the young man is recovering. Mrs. Ph. DAUM who, as we stated some time ago, placed herself under the treatment of Dr. SENN and had such a difficult operation performed on her has to the joy of her family and friends, returned entirely recovered. Hon. Adolph ZIMMERMANN celebrated the 76th anniversary of his birthday last Saturday. The old gentleman looks hale and hearty and his friends wish him many returns of the day. Mrs. C. KLUMB, daughter of Hon. Z. residing at Hayton, was here for the occasion. The event of the season came off on Saturday, Feb. 22. The Thiensville Minstrels, an amateur organization, produced themselves for the first time at Morhusen’s Hall. A large attendance was drawn. The audience appreciated he performance and commended very creditably upon it. Much of the success is due to the accompaniment on the piano so artistically rendered by Miss e. GOLTERMANN. The young men received such encouragement that they probably will give another performance in the near future. Last Tuesday the father of Mr. Carl WILLE died. The deceased formerly lived near Thiensville. ~~~~~~~~~~~ WAUBEKA The Misses Clara and Emma SCHIBE of Plymouth were the guests of Miss Bertha WITT at the station last week. Mr. J. H. KLESSIG is shipping considerable clover seed at present. Mr. Ed. BACH of Beloit spent a few days at the bed side of his brother, Geo., last week. Quite a number of our people attended the private dance at Fillmore. They report having a good time. Miss Gusta BORCHARDT spent Sunday at Fillmore. DIED – Mr. Geo. A. BACH at the Station, aged 21 years, of pneumonia caused by the grip. He was a member of the cornet band at this place. George was a good man of good habits and was a great favorite of all who knew him having lived here since a youth. He was the youngest son of Henry and Caroline BACH. The funeral was held last Saturday and was largely attended. Rev. FRANK preached the funeral sermon. On Tuesday last, Mr. John KREIG of Port and Miss Angeline PESH, formerly of this place, were married at Port. Rev. H. WILMMES officiating. May happiness attend throughout their life. Miss J. LAU of Milwaukee is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. LAU. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news! TM http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com
