Mrs. CORRIGAN was about 40 years of age at the time of her death. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There was a statement made in the West Bend Times of the 4th inst., that the grafters from Indiana (CORNELL Brothers) were swindlers. The CORNELLs are now in Cedarburg collecting for their work and don't seem to have any trouble whatever, notwithstanding the statement made in the West Bend Times. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cyclones, freshets, and torrents of rain are again ravaging the west, while on Monday, a week ago, snow fell at Minneapolis. The summer has thus far been one of alternate droughts and floods, while midsummer heats in May have in some places been followed by June snows. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY There has been a great deal said of late (by parties that we know don't mean to do Cedarburg any harm) about the Agricultural society project that is at present being worked up for the towns of Cedarburg, Grafton, Mequon, Jackson, Germantown and Granville. As a great many of our readers are perhaps not yet aware as to how the society will do its business, and that they may be misinformed regarding the management, we undertake to give them an inside view as to its management. The following is the plan the association will carry on business: First – To have a specified premium list published at least a month before the holding of the fair – giving the amount of premium of each article in each class. Second – To pay premiums in full as advertised. The above plan will insure the exhibitor that he will receive a prize of some kind, and he will just know what and how much he will received. Each person will also receive a premium list that if he intends bringing something to exhibit, he can at once see what he will receive before he comes to the fair. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GRAFTON CATTLE FAIR The cattle fair at Grafton last Monday was unmistakably one of the most paying fairs for the business men and sellers of stock that was experienced in that burg for a long time. The streets were thronged with people who either wanted to buy or sell something. Horses was the principal object. Over twenty horses exchanged hands within an hour, all of which a good price was paid for. Horse dealers from Chicago were present, buying up everything in the line of horseflesh that could be bought. While at Grafton on the above day, we heard some business men remark that it was unmistakably one of the most successful fairs for years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE BRASS BAND QUESTION A proposition was made to some of our musical inclined young men in regard to organizing a brass band here by Mr. G. BACH, of Milwaukee, last Thursday, that ought to be well considered before it is cast aside. The proposition is very fair, and a better opportunity to organize a brass band in this place will never be had in a long time to come. The Grafton boys will assist in organizing a good band here if enough help cannot be found in this place. Can't Cedarburg start a brass band? is a question that is very often asked us by outsiders. Well, Cedarburg has got good musical talent, but there is a lack of energy. Strike while the iron is hot, boys. A meeting of the young men of this place ought to be called at once and we can assure them that if they have any intention of organizing, this will be the best opportunity ever offered them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE FOURTH The fourth of July is not to go by unobserved in Cedarburg this year, but a grand old time will be had. The Turn Society and Cedarburg Fire Company have consolidated with Mr. J. F. HILGEN, of the Springs, and will take a hand in and celebrate the day at the Hilgen Springs. In the evening, a dance will be had at the Turner Hall, and a very select programme will be carried out. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
