If you are in need of a good, fine and durable suit of clothes, give them a call. If you want a good reliable lawn mower or force pump, go to C. W. LEHMANN & Bros. They are selling the bet manufactured in that line. The birthday of Mrs. Wm. TOLL was celebrated last Wednesday, also that of Miss A. GOTTSCHALK on Monday last. Many lady friends attending at both. City marshal KRAUSE celebrated his birthday in grand style last Friday evening in the basement of the Turner hall to which he invited a number of his friends. The monthly fair in this city last Monday was quite a large one, but prices on livestock were altogether too low. Farmers left early being busy on their farms. The prize bowling at the Apollo hall bowling alley will be continued next Sunday, as the whole number of tickets have not been sold. There are five valuable prizes and are worth about $15. ~~~~~~~~~~~ The marriages of Albert LUEDERS to Miss Mary BECKMANN and Herm.

THOMS informs us that his sons killed eight foxes one day last week in the vicinity of his farm in the town of Mequon near the toll gate by digging them out of their burrow in the ground. They have been doing a great deal of damage in the neighborhood, carrying of fowl, etc. There are still a number in that neighborhood and those who wish to participate in an old-fashioned fox hunt should pick out this place as their hunting ground. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A BANK IS NEEDED Manufacturers of late seem to have become aware of the many natural advantages present in and near our city for the establishment of their several plants, and from what we hear daily, other establishments are favorably considering their location here. Perhaps we are not yet in need of a stock exchange but we certainly lack one forcible agent toward prosperity in our city, and that is a Bank. To say that such an enterprise would not be supported by our community would be to show ignorance of affairs. It is to be regretted that some capitalists do not at once take steps towards organizing a “money store-house.” Nearly every other city of the size of Cedarburg has its Bank in successful operation and here it is only a question of beginning to be crowned with success. The businessmen should make an effort for such an organization. The Marshall & Ilsley bank would do well to establish a branch here. ~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON In Mr. Chas. GERLACH’s cheese factory in this village, work commenced last Monday. It is rumored that our meat market owned by Mr. H. ROERBORN will soon change hands.

Mr. Alex ZASTROW of Port delivered bulbs, plants and shrubs of every description to his customers here on last Monday. Our carpenter, Mr. A. MEYER, is busy at present with the construction of several nice ice boxes for prominent hotel keepers of our county. Any one in need of anything in that line will do well to call on him. Sunday last, Mr. A. PFLOEGER indulged in an extensive buggy ride with his new outfit which is composed of a dandy little pony, handsome harness, and a fine hand made buggy made by Mr. H. KOHLWEY Jr. A few weeks ago, we referred to the newly organized lime Co. which ere to erect their kilns (unreadable) quarry, and at that time called it a rumor. But at present, it affords us great pleasure to state that their intentions are founded on facts. They say they will take hold of it in such an earnest and business-like manner and work it on such large scale, that they will meet with great success. And why not? Nature makes it convenient for them as the location is so excellent that it requires but little labor to get everything in running order. Also the rock being of superior quality and in such inexhaustible quantity that the business, when once established, may be looked upon as a permanent institution. A side-track of the M & N will be connected with their kilns, which is also a great step of prosperity to our village. The company is composed of Messrs. MINTZLAFF, LIESENBERG & TURNER, who are shrewd and enterprising gentlemen. Their earnest endeavor is also to put ! their shoulders to the wheel and shove the cart towards our village, and do all they can in our interest. Now citizens of Grafton, our cart will after a few more hard exertions be completed, and then let us with united force put our shoulders to the wheel and perseveringly try to meet the other cart. ~~~~~~~~~~~ MEQUON The farmers in this vicinity are busy at sowing.

HILTY of Milwaukee. His wife survives him. The remains were interred in the Mequon cemetery. Requiescat in pace. ~~~~~~~~~~~ BELGIUM (Received too late for last week’s issue) On Saturday, the remains of Mr. Dominick MAYER were interred at the Catholic cemetery of Holy Cross. Mr. MAYER was an old settler and a well-to-do farmer, who lived 1 ¾ miles north of Holy Cross.
