Our public schools will soon close for the hot season. A sidewalk is to be built in front of the Turner Hall. Niland Bros., 502 Grand Ave., buy and sell fresh choice butter. Mr. LUEDTKE built a very necessary culvert in front of his house. The Wisconsin Central carried over 800,000 passengers last year. Mr. G. EPPLE is having his residence near the depot repainted.

BARNUM and his great show will be in Milwaukee, Monday, June 21, 1880. Wool is coming in at the Cedarburg woolen mills every day from all directions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PERSONALS Messrs. J. R. and Byron CORNELL, of Goshen, Indiana, are in Cedarburg collecting. Miss Agatha HARTWIG was visiting friends in Milwaukee a few days the past week. Dr. CARSTENS, of Detroit, brother of Mr. C. B. CARSTENS of this place, was in Cedarburg last Friday visiting. District Attorney, James HEDDING, of Port Washington, was in Cedarburg last Saturday on legal business. D. WITTENBERG left last Monday on an extended business trip through this state. He will buy wool mainly. James R. TROTTMANN, of Madison, where he attended the State University, took advantage of cheap rates on railroads last week and came home to visit his parents and friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the meeting held in the Turn Hall by the turners and firemen last Friday night, no definite arrangements were made to celebrate the fourth of July. A committee was appointed to make arrangements for music with a Milwaukee band, and after reporting it will be decided upon whether the fourth is to be celebrated in Cedarburg this year or not. It is hoped that arrangements will be perfected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Patty House swindle at Fond du Lac is bad for a large number of influential and wealthy business men in he above named city. They recommending the Patty House drawing to be all on the square, but since the drawing it is learned that the lucky one drew with it a $32,000 mortgage, and the business men of Fond du Lac knew that fraud was going on all the time. The matter ought to be attended to. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We sent out statements to some of our patrons a few weeks ago, who would oblige us very much to send in remittance on same. The amount is very small for each person receiving a statement, but to us, if all remit, it will count up to a very large amount. Don't hesitate now, but send in the amount which will be thankfully received. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following are names of officers of the Cedarburg Lodge No. 105, I. O. O. F. who were elected last Saturday for the ensuing term: John WEBER – N.G.; J. C. KUHEUSS – V.G.; Charles WILKE – R. Secy; G. ANSCHUETZ – Treasurer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gen. U.S. Grant and party passed through Cedarburg last Friday, at noon, and stopped off about fifteen minutes. There was quite a crowd at the depot on his arrival who gave him a fine reception. Gen. Grant and party were on their way to Green Bay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geologists will find a large field to advance geology in and around Cedarburg. For instance, if the mounds at the Hilgen Springs were dug up, we don't wonder a bit but what some great discovery for geologists might be made. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. F. HILGEN, of the Hilgen Springs, will have a fourth of July celebration at his park, and in order to make the occasion a pleasant one, has engaged Chelokusky's orchestra. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. BARDENWOERPER, teacher in the Thiensville public school, will remove to Kansas the latter part of July, where he has been engaged as teacher in a private school. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hon. A. ZIMMERMANN, of Mequon, left last Sunday for the democratic national convention at Cincinnati, of which he is a delegate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TO OUR PATRONS AND OTHERS With this number of THE ENTEPRISE, we mark the subscription price down from $2.00 to $1.50 per annum in advance. Those of our subscribers that paid the former price ($2.00) on this year's subscription we will credit them 50 cents on the next year, thus giving them the benefit of the reduction also. In making the reduction, our present large list will be increased by hundreds. The size of the paper will be reduced one column on each page. In so doing, we can get our paper so much cheaper that we can well afford to take subscriptions at $1.50, and will contain the same amount of reading matter as heretofore. Now, gentlemen, there is no excuse for you not subscribing for THE ENTERPRISE, as the subscription price is within the reach of everybody. But when subscribing, prepare yourself with the necessary amount, $1.50, as such subscription must be paid within three months $200 will be charged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE REUNION Since the history of the city of Milwaukee there never was such a crowd of people in the Cream City as there was during last week – Soldiers Reunion. The mass that poured into Milwaukee with every train was immense. It is estimated that at least 150,000 strangers were there. All the principal streets were crowded and in some instances the crowd was so dense that one found it impossible to pass through without being jammed. Last Thursday was the principal day – when the grand parade took place – the procession being miles in length. It took from 10 o'clock in the morning till 3 o'clock in the afternoon before the last of the procession came upon East Water street and sought their headquarters. Never again will Milwaukee be honored with such a crowd of strangers as was present last week at the reunion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last Monday's storm is one to be long remembered in the north of this state where it has been terrific. Bridges between Stevens Point and Green Bay along the line of the Wisconsin Central were swept away. The rise of water in the rivers and creeks was from four to eight feet. Crops were damaged and in the whole it was the most damaging storm that Wisconsin knew for years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE THIRTY-FIFTH REGIMENT At the Regiment re-union of the Thirty-fifth Wisconsin Infantry, which took place at Milwaukee last Monday, members present were called to order by Capt. Archie H. ADAMS, who present the following resolution: We, the undersigned, members of the Thirty-fifth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, wishing to preserve the recollections of our old organization and old campaigns fresh in our memory, resolve to hold a yearly reunion the first to take place in Richfield's Garden, Milwaukee, on the 3d of July 1880, and yearly thereafter. At the next meeting, appropriate resolutions and by-laws will be adopted for future guidance. The resolutions were adopted. Prof. Paul BINNER was elected Secretary. The following members of the Regiment joined the organization: Andrew WARD, Adjt. Davit HUNTER, H. BRLEY, Max. BERHARD, S. M. CURRIER, John BROWN, Hiram CALKINS, Mich. BISCHERT, C. DOBBERPUHL, Wm. BENNETT, P. DITTOR, Chas. KAISER, Ph. KLUEBER, Col. Geo. H. WALTHER, J. W. UNDERWOOD, Capt. J. W. JOHANN, J. NEHLS, Fred. WUESTNECK, Alfred P. MARKHAM, E.D. BINGHAM, John BROST, John BILE, Lt. Chas. WALTHER, Wm. RHINERDT, H. P. SCRUBB, L. JASSEN, John BAUMGARTLE, John KUFHAL, Amand GRAT, Chas. W. ZENFT, Chas. B. WESS, Fr. SCHWEDE, Lt. Robert MARTINI, Lt. Paul BINNER, Capt. Archie H.

S. WINTER. Chas. KAISER offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved: That the thanks of the surviving enlisted members of the Thirty-fifth Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers be here-by tendered to our officers participating in our Re-union for their courtesy and liberality shown in entertaining us so handsomely. That the secretary be instructed to cause these resolutions to be spread upon the records of our organization. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FREDONIA ITEMS Dull. Local news scarce. Horse trade is lively at VOLMER's. Henry WITT of the firm of MEYER & WITT is going to Germany with the Turner Excursion. He is to be absent from home for several months for the purpose of buying goods as well in Germany as in New York. The pathmaster is fixing our streets as good as the small road tax can do it. In most of the villages, the license money is appropriated for such purposes. Why could not we have the same? A very impressive and solemn ceremony took place at the Catholic church of this place last Sunday, when about forty children were admitted to the church by the first communion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HORNS CORNER ITEMS Crops have never looked better. We have street lamps now, and the next thing will probably be gas. For summer clothing and dusters call at H. SCHELLENBERG's. R. A. BECHER, druggist of St. Paul, Minn., was here last week paying his father and friends a visit. Our wagon maker will use double force after this, he put up a fifty feet high wind mill. The bridge builders are hard at work here now. Mr. RETTBERG, the manager, intends to have the job completed by July 15th. Fred MENZEL, the capable carpenter of this place, is receiving congratulations of his friends upon the arrival of a ten pound boy. Pathmaster STEINKE reports that all the highway tax in his district is expended, which was not near sufficient to put the road in good condition; the tax payers of this vicinity think it a good plan if the honorable board of supervisors would expend an additional amount on our roads. A little ten year old daughter of Frank O'NEIL came very near breaking her neck a week ago last Saturday, while crossing over the bridge that is being torn down to make way for a new one. She was coming along and not noticing the opening where a portion of the bridge had been taken away – beckoning a little dog that she had with her – not looking ahead of her at the moment she reached the opening and fell before she was aware of her danger. She fell head foremost a distance of about ten feet, striking her head upon the rocks. The workmen did not observe her until she fell. Mr. RETTBERG, the contractor, at once picked her up and though she had broken her neck, but on bringing her to the store, found that life was not extinct and restoratives were at once applied and in course of an hour, was by herself again. All the injury she sustained was a gash on her head which she received in the fall, and wherefrom the blood profused freely. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ WI-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
