The mosquito season is here. Last Sunday was bock beer day. The lumber business is booming here. Are we to have a circus this year? Are we to have a base ball club this summer? Get a bath at the Hilgen Springs every Sunday. Indications point in the direction of a hot summer. J. F. BRUSS has a sidewalk built in front of his store. Decoration day was not observed here last Saturday. WILKE has commenced working on the road last Tuesday. Farmers think that we have rain plenty for a while now. Grafton has very good power for manufacturing purposes. Quite a number of strangers were at the Hilgen Springs last Sunday. Corn and potatoes are up and farmers are preparing to plow them. C. GOTTSCHALK will run his bus daily to Milwaukee next week – Re-union week. Tramps have no business running over the country, they can find plenty work now. A number of our citizens went to Chicago yesterday to attend the republican national convention. A little child of Mr. W. LIESENBERG was seriously bitten last Sunday by a vicious dog owned by Mr. Chas. LEMKE of this place. While Mrs. GRONEMEYER was engaged hanging up wash last Monday, she had the misfortune to fall and break her right arm above the wrist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sheep shearing time has commenced and stock raisers are happy in this respect. We have a due and perfect regard for rams, wether's ewes and yearlings and are even willing to take lamb and green peas for a noontide meal, but if you want to bring your wool to a good market, take it to the Cedarburg Woolen Mills as they will allow you all it is worth and won't grumble at the buying thereof. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AGRICULTURAL FAIRS Within some few years past, the agricultural interests of the county have been greatly aided by the means of agricultural fairs and shows, at which not only the products of the field, cereal and vegetable, and horses and cattle, have been exhibited to the public, but every new invention connected with cultivation has been brought to the notice of the farmer. Not alone have we our great national fair, but we have also our State fairs, county fairs, and even town fairs, in every quarter of the Union. The value of exhibitions of this character cannot be over appreciated. They are more instrumental in spreading a knowledge of agricultural science, as well as creating a generous rivalry among our farmers than any other means which could be adopted. The finest breed of horses, the best cattle, sheep, and hogs, the rarest poultry, and the richest specimens of grain, green crops and fruits, are always to be found at these fairs. The amount of money expended upon them, for getting them up and for prizes cannot fall short of from a million to a million and a half of dollars annually. This subject is recalled to mind just now by the fact that a movement has been not only started, but is already far advanced, by liberal subscriptions, to make Cedarburg the location of a fair of this kind for the six towns viz, Grafton, Cedarburg, Mequon, Granville, Germantown and Jackson, as being the most central and easiest of access. It is probably that all the agricultural fairs of this year will receive a greatly increased interest, and will attract a more numerous attendance than ever, in consequence of the prospective abundance of the crops. The farmers are elated at the prospect, they feel rich in advance in contemplation of their well-stored garners, and will, no doubt, visit the fairs in much larger numbers than usual. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DRAWING OF PETIT JURORS The following is a list of Petit Jurors drawn June 1st, 1880, to serve at the June term of the Circuit Court of Ozaukee county, Wisconsin, for the year A.D. 1880.

Dear Sir: I observe in looking over your last issue, you have been misinformed in regard to the fight between the WEIL's and myself. I will give you a true report as the trial will prove. While in LEMKE's saloon, on the 22nd inst., I was invited by an old friend to take a glass of beer with him. Geo. WEIL, who happened to be with him spoke up and said "he cannot drink with me," and the next moment called me names too profane for publication. I then said that my friend invited me to drink with him and he would pay for it. Then Geo. WEIL's brother, a young lawyer here, spoke up and said, "Let him alone, I can whip him alone," and at the same time repeating the same foul language. I then left the WEIL's when I saw my life was threatened and went to Jacob HAMBACH and told him to get my revolver, which he had in his home, over said saloon. We then started for my home, and when about one-quarter of the way, the WEIL's came behind me unawares, and said, "Now e have got them," repeating at the same time the same foul language. At the next moment I received a heavy blow on the back of my head from some heavy weapon, followed by one striking me with his fist, and then I fell. I then raised from the ground and tried to defend myself with my cane. Geo. WEIL got me down a second time and I received more heavy blows on my shoulders and arm. About this time lawyer WEIL, his brother, took HAMBACH by the throat and he told WEIL to let him alone or he would shoot, but WEIL continued his hold, whereupon HAMBACH fired three shots. Then the WEIL's left their victims and ran. That is a true statement of the fact, the decision of the Justice Andrew MARTIN will prove for to-day, the WEIL's were fined $5.00 and costs each, and placed under bonds of $100 each to keep the peace for six months. Yours truly, Otto BOESEWETTER ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PROCEEDINGS OF THE TOWN BOARD Cedarburg, May 19th, 1880 Board of Supervisors met at Town Clerks Office. All members present.
