Rather chilly weather we are having of late. F. L. HARMS of Grafton sells the Gilt Edge Tonic. A most disagreeable rain occurred last Monday morning. The Hilgen Springs Park Hotel is crowded to overflowing. Hancock and English clubs will be organized in some towns in this county. Pleasure and health seekers are making their appearance at the Springs daily to remain during the hot season. The population of Ozaukee county is 15,000 according to the figures of the census takers of the several towns. Rather small community, this. The republicans of this district are confident in electing a congressman this fall. Mr. DEUSTER has made a very good representative and stands a very good show of being re-elected. Major J. C. SCHROELING has no opposition thus far and will probably not have. Major has been a very efficient clerk of the board and the responsibilities of that office cannot enter into better hands. F. BOERNER is already making preparations to lay in a large stock of goods for the fall trade, and to this end is selling summer goods at a reduced price. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PERSONALS Mr. Chas. SCHLEGEL, of Saukville, was in Cedarburg last Sunday afternoon. F. L. HARMS of Grafton was over in Cedarburg last Thursday and had a new top put on his buggy. Geo. BACH of Milwaukee paid his numerous friends in Cedarburg a call last Wednesday evening. He remained but a few hours. Messrs. F. L. HARMS, Henry SMITH, R. SCHMIDT and their families were at the Hilgen Springs last Sunday taking in "the open air concert". Father HEMLOCK of Chicago and Father DURNIN of Milwaukee made a pleasant call on us recently. Father HEMLOCK seems to manifest more interest in THE ENTERPRISE than he does in the Chicago Times. Messrs. M. G. RUPPERT, M. ZIMMERMANN, of Port Washington, accompanied by Messrs. E. HORNKAL, E. MANNOW, N. LOEB; of Manistee, Mich. dropped in upon us yesterday afternoon and made us a pleasant call. Mr. Terrence FITZGERALD of Hartford made a most pleasant visit with his numerous friends here last Sunday. Mr. FITZ informs us that he has bought a farm in Dakota, containing 320 acres, he intends going on this fall. May it prove to him all he anticipates. Mr. Chas. CHAMBERLAIN of Port Washington, but in former years a resident of this place, paid his numerous friends in Cedarburg a pleasant call last Saturday afternoon. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN held offices of public trust in this county frequently and during his official life, has always very creditable performed the duties of each office that he was presiding over. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PICNIC At Milwaukee Falls Park, Grafton, Sunday, July 25th, 1880, for the benefit of St. Joseph's School. Good music and a good time may be expected by all. Tableaux in the evening. – Leo HALM, Jos. SPEHN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Winter wheat in this vicinity is being cut and by all appearances the crop will be an average one, which is better than expected. It was feared that the extreme heat of the fore part of last week would damage the crops considerable, but since the harvest has begun, better prospects are entertained by farmers. Rye, barley and oats are a very good crop – in some instances, above the average. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We will be compelled soon to print both sides of THE ENTERPRISE at home, the inside at present is printed in Milwaukee, and in order to meet the expense we will be obliged to undergo, we deem it necessary for every subscriber not having paid his back subscription, to remit at once, thereby helping us materially as well as favoring us which we hope they will grant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to see and feel the strength of the republican party in this county, an effort will probably be made to run a full republican county ticket this fall. That is the only true way of finding out the exact republican vote of Ozaukee county, and by nominating a good ticket, chances are that in a few instances republican candidates may slip in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The concert and dance at the Hilgen Springs last Sunday was well attended. The weather was clear but cool, bringing out a pretty respectable crowd who seemed to be well pleased with the concert given by the Tyroler Troupe from Milwaukee. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LEHMANN Bros. have on hand a large lot of rod iron for blacksmithing purposes which they are selling at reduced prices. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE SHERIFFSHIP There seems to be a general strife and scramble for the sheriff's office, and aspirants and candidates are looming up almost every day. Thus far there are three candidates in the field. red SCHLEIFER of this town has expressed himself that he would like to be sheriff – he making the third candidate. There are also two candidates – one in Port Washington and one in Saukville – that will soon acquaint the fact to the voters of Ozaukee county that they can attend to the sheriff's office as well as any one of the other candidates. LATER – Since writing the above, we are informed that Thos. FLYNN, A. HODAN, and Mr. PENTONEY, all of Mequon, will present their names before the democratic convention which takes place soon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REPUBLICANS IN SESSION The Republican county committee at a special meeting last Saturday, appointed the following persons to act with the present county and town committee: Mequon – Chas. BUBLITZ, Geo. McBEAN. Cedarburg – Arthur BOERNER, Chas. B. CARSTENS. Grafton – F. L. HARMS, Chas. STEWART Saukville – Jos. ALBRECHT. Port Washington – Nic ELLENBECKER, H. L. COE. Fredonia – Mr. O'NEIL The following persons were appointed to complete the county committee: Belgium – Peter JOHAN Port Washington – J. SIEVERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FIRE About twenty cords of wood belonging to the Wisconsin central near the track, burned last Thursday night. The fire department was called out, who done very good work, for a large pile in close proximity of the burning pile, was saved from destruction by their prompt and most efficient labors. The department saved at least one hundred and fifty cords of wood for the railroad company for which the company ought to be thankful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FROM PORT WASHINGTON The "Tennie & Laurie" is in Port! Hotel de DELLES has only one boarder. RUNKEL, the photographer, talks of Racine. The hottest day of the season was Tuesday, 13th inst. Kemp & Co.'s artificial well is rapidly nearing completion. E. R. BLAKE received several vessel loads of lumber this week. The picnic in Gleasner park on the 11th was well attended. SCHINDLER vs. WAGNER before Justice SCHWIN was settled Monday. Paul KOICK, the veteran blacksmith, is sick and his shop locked up. M. TIBOR, our marble cutter, speaks very "highly" of our express office. Louis LOESSER is on the sick list, as also is ex-register of deeds, GENGLER. Our village will be represented at the circus in your town on the 22nd. DENGEL, the ex-marble man, is agent for the Singer Manufacturing Co. MARTIN & WESTER manufacture a superior plow and find ready sales for it. The tannery folks had a holiday on account of some breakdown last Monday. ZIMMERMANN's Cornet Band will march to the picnic ground with the children to-day. Cherries are ripening and robin "redbreast" is suffering on account of his "sweet tooth". F. W. HAWES of the Continental Life Insurance Company is here. A. W. YOUNG is local agent. "Cheap" PHILAMON has his store well stocked and sells cheap, cheaper, cheapest!!! Mr. LEASON, the veteran pump man of Hingham, is stopping at the Union House. Out hotels are not so well supplied with summer boarders as they were last season, but they may come yet if this hot weather holds out. "You can't most always tell" who will be candidates. Perhaps some of those so very sure will find "a hair in the broth" before they get through. C. A. DEAN, Esq. is doing a flourishing business. He is one of the attorneys for the defense of CONRAD, Sr. the accused murderer of Fredonia. Hugo REICHEL "ye drummer" of BAUMBACH & ROSENTHAL is furnishing his customers with the wholesale price list of "Epicae," "Blue Mass" and other niceties. The result of the vote for school clerk, I am informed, stood as follows: H. B. SCHWIN 4, R. C. KANN 6, A. HEIDKAMP 14, M. C. RUPPERT 16. How are the mighty fallen? The corner of Main and Franklin Streets is now thoroughly reconstructed on the "tax cluber" plan. It is a thing of "beauty and joy forever" – to doctors and wagon makers. Politics are not much meddled with, neither political party seems to enthuse worth a cent. Since the only Greenbacker returned from the Chicago convention, he seems to be quieted down. MARRIED – Tuesday, July 13th, by Rev. Father WILLMAS, at the Catholic church in this village, Miss Margreta REUTER to Mr. Frederick TIPPMANN, both of this place. If Sheriff DELLES would lock up the youngsters that make night hideous with their noise as often as a wedding occurs, he would receive the blessing of all those who love rest and sleep. J. M. BOSTWICK, Wm. A. PORS, and W. H. THOLEN and their ladies have gone to Cedar Lake for a few weeks in search of pleasure and health. They are bound to enjoy life, "if it takes all summer!" Fishing is the main sport now and to witness the persistency with which our political "Goliaths" are adhering to this pastime one would think that the destiny of the nation depended on who was making the best haul of perch. Tramps are nearly as plenty as potatoe bugs and a great deal more annoying; as it is against the law to feed tramps on Paris Green. It is a question also whether that would have any effect to their invitations, even should our legislature pass a law making it legal to feed tramps on Paris green, it is a question which would give out first – the "pizen" or the tramps. Our school district meeting clearly demonstrated the interest of our community in educational matters, 40 votes were cast all told while at the road district meeting over 150 ballots were cast and the school district has a larger territory and population than the road district. About $3,000 were expended by the district during the year, of which sum $700 or about that amount went to the Sister School. The most remarkable feature of this place is the street lamps of the two leading hotels. When the moon shines in all its glory and sheds light on the just and unjust, you will always see the American and Union House lamps in full glory, but when nights are dark and gloomy and the rain is coming down in torrents, "nary a bit" will you see of those lamps. One reason of this, Hans says, is that the hotel folks think it's no use in a dark night to light up, fearing the light might attract the brazen faced tramps. Another reason is that the lamp lighter needs the light of the moon to perform his duty, which theory is correct I am not prepared to say, but will bet a "picayune" that whenever the full moon shines in all its splendor, the said lamps will be lit from 6 P.M. to 8 A.M. and when the new moon is written in the almanac those lamps will be darker than hades!
