LOCAL GOSSIP

Fine weather.

School picnic the 15th.

August BOHRTZ is a good horse shoer.

Threshing machines are on the move.

A heavy and ceaseless rain fell last Monday.

The hum of the reaper is still heard in the land.

Dance in the Turn Hall next Sunday evening.

Mill feed constantly on hand at the Columbia Mills.

F. SCHUETTE still keeps the lead and is selling more cigars than ever.

Business in our several business houses seems to be on the improve.

Quite a number of strangers were in Cedarburg the fore part of this week.

E. LAU, of Hamilton, has a large run in the blacksmith line at present.

F. BECKMANN will have one of the best hotels in the state after it is completed.

Quite a number of our citizens take regular baths at the Hilgen Springs bathing rooms.

Charles GOTTSCHALK carries quite a number of passengers to and from Milwaukee every week.

Our Port Washington correspondent says the tail end of the republican county committee will bolt.

Considerable wool is shipped here to the Woolen Mills every week from Milwaukee and other points.

One of our county officials, it is said, allowed himself to be bulldozed by the Bellows. Such county officers are of great benefit (?)

We have been doing considerable job work for Milwaukee parties the past few days. Good workmanship and low prices is what brought it.

Two Milwaukee orchestras will play in Cedarburg next Sunday. Prof. BACH's Military band and Prof. HENSLER's Jugend Kapelle.

Henry HAAS of Thiensville has posters out to the effect that he will have a picnic and dance in his park on Sunday, August 15, 1880.

HENTSCHEL and JOCHEM shipped several bushel cherries to Milwaukee last week at 70 cents a bushel. Didn't pay the picking, in our estimation.

B. WEBER, at the depot, will accommodate travelers and strangers in first class style. He has been remodeling his hotel and has it now in the best of order.

Lumber goes out of the Hilgen Manufacturing Co. lumber yard as fast as it is shipped. Four carloads has been shipped to them daily for the past week. Lumber can be purchased as cheap here as in any place in this county.

Politics in Ozaukee county are getting rather serious - at least it seems so by the manner a certain present county officer is scouting around and making men promise him that they vote in a certain way. He must have something in view!

The WIRTH Brothers will move into their new shoe shop soon, and will enlarge their store to the length of the old building. They will put in the largest stock of boots and shoes ever brought to this town as soon as the building is completed.

Mr. J. C. CORRIGAN has received the contract to furnish Milwaukee county with wood the ensuing year. The amount required is 1,800 cords. Mr. C. has 6,000 cords of wood on hand now and will before a great while, have ten thousand cords. He is dealing extensively in the wood business.

Our Port Washington correspondent stated a few weeks ago that they have a tax payers ring. Why don't the Advertiser and the man that is politically rotten and fairly stinks from the effects speak for the tax payers of Port Washington if there is such an organization existing in that burg?
We unintentionally failed to make mention last week of the children's picnic of the Lutheran church in GROTH's grove, directly west of the village, which took place last Sunday a week. The afternoon was taken up in music by the church orchestra, swinging, drinking and eating. Although the rain interfered somewhat with the amusements, a very pleasant time was had by old as well as by the young.
MEQUON
While on a business trip through Mequon last Thursday, we, of course, brought up at the Mequon House, A. HODANN, prop., one of the most pleasant landlords in the town. In the hotel, we found Hon. A. ZIMMERMANN sipping his glass of barley juice, with whom we had quite a chat on the presidential situation; he is confident of the success of the democratic party this fall and says they are bound to win - as a change must and will be had.

We also visited the Mequon Brewery, ZIMMERMANN & GERLACH proprietors. These gentlemen, through hones and fair dealing, have worked up quite an extensive business and are selling more beer this year than ever before, though, as Mr. ZIMMERMANN puts it - the farmers are almost too busy to drink.

The REIMENSCHNEIDER hotel was also given a call, but Mr. R. had just left to attend to some business in the vicinity. By the way, the REIMENSCHNEIDER hotel is also a very good house and cannot be very easily beaten.

Mr. SEYFERT, the dry goods and grocery man, as usual, was kept rather busy behind the counter and a nod of the head to him was all the chance we had to speak to him.

From Mequon we proceeded to Thiensville, and had just time enough before train time to call on Mr. F. DUWE, wagon and carriage maker. The above gentleman we also found busy. Mr. DUWE is known to be one of the best wagon and carriage makers in the county. He ships quite a number of wagons to Minnesota and Dakota annually. From Mr. DUWE's place we started to the depot and arrived there just in time to board the train for home.
Wheat is said by one of our millers and one whose word may be relied upon, will bring as much as $1.25 to $1.50 this winter. If this should proof to be true it would pay farmers to keep their wheat in the granary until that time comes when the price is as above stated.
Dentist DILLINGHAM will be in Cedarburg next Monday. Persons who have tooth ache and now are patiently awaiting the doctor's arrival will, on their way to his office, be relived of the pain until after he is gone - then - "oh, dear, this tooth almost turns me crazy."
GRAND EXCURSION AND CONCERT OF THE BACH'S FALL ORCHESTRA NEXT SUNDAY AUGUST 8TH 1880

By an advertisement in another column it will be seen that a grand excursion; the first and undoubtedly the last this summer; by Chr. BACH's Orchestra; will take place next Sunday, August 8, 1880. It was considerable trouble on the part of Mr. Geo. BACH who has the management of the excursion, that the officers of the Wisconsin central were induced to allow an excursion train to run over the line on a Sunday (they are opposed to Sun. excursions) but finally consented to the arrangement as above stated.

As this will be the first and undoubtedly the last excursion this year, the public should avail themselves of the opportunity - and turn out en masse on the above date.

F. DUWE of Thiensville has the largest blacksmith and wagon manufactory in the county.

Tramps are quite frequently passing through Cedarburg this time of the year. This is their season off.

Will we have another excursion to Cedarburg this summer is the all absorbing question with some of our citizens now.

J. F. BRUSS, the north side grocer, is laying in a heavy fall stock of groceries, by which we would infer that he means to do a big business this fall.

Cedarburg boasts of a veterinary surgeon, and one who, it is said, will do credit to any town. His name is Mr. BETCHER, lately came from Germany.

The Juvenile band of Milwaukee attracted a great many strangers to this place last Sunday. this being but the second time the band was in Cedarburg.

A match game of nine pins between the Milwaukee and Cedarburg nine pin rollers was very exciting at the Springs last Sunday. The Milwaukee club came out ahead.

Several of Milwaukee's soiled doves were in Cedarburg last Sunday and some of the b'hoys of this place were taught their first lesson in flirting. They learned very rapidly.
In most every direction a person would look last Monday night the clouds were reddened by fire of some kind, undoubtedly caused by the lightning, a large fire was visible southwest of this place, which could not have been a great ways off.

F. G. SCHUETTE, we are pleased to learn, is obliged to enlarge his business. The demand for his celebrated Stub cigar is so great that he is compelled to put on another force of cigarmakers. Mr. S. is just as well liked throughout the county where he is known as his cigars are.

H. SCHELLENBERG of Horn's Corners has posters out announcing his annual harvest festival on 22nd of August. Mr. H. has engaged Geirs full orchestra who will give a concert in the afternoon and those that delight tripping the "fantastic" will be accommodated in the evening by the same band.

George MARTIN, 13 year old son of W. MARTIN, town Cedarburg while riding a young horse with a halter around him yesterday morning was thrown off and dragged until the halter broke. His right arm was broken above the elbow and severely bruised about the face and head. He is doing well as can be expected.
Dr. D. W. LYNCH, formerly of Richfield, and who has been to Europe to visit medical institutions has returned and opened an office in Milwaukee St., Milwaukee, a notice of which will be seen in another column. Dr. LYNCH will no doubt secure a large practice soon, as he is one of the best and most successful physicians in the state. May success attend him is the sincere wish of THE ENTERPRISE.

We once more call attention of the readers of THE ENTERPRISE that Henry HAAS of Thiensville will have a picnic in his Park next Sunday, August 15, 1880, to which a very cordial invitation is extended to everybody. Mr. HAAS, it is well known, is a gentleman and always makes it a point to treat his customers in a most gentlemanly manner. Give him a call next Sunday, boys!
A most terrific rain and thunder storm prevailed last Monday night which caused many a wicked heart to pray for mercy and we know that a great many of our delinquent subscribers prayed to be spared long enough to pay their back subscriptions, as quite a number called at our sanctum yesterday morning and seemed quite anxious to settle up. They now not alone have a clear conscience but are prepared for heaven for one year.
SERIOUS RUNAWAY

Last Sunday, while Mr. W. CORRIGAN, accompanied by his wife, Mrs. MULLANEY, and three other ladies, the names of whom we have not been able to learn, were returning from church on their way to Mr. CORRIGAN's residence, one of the horses kicked over the whiffletrees, frightening the other which made a plunge and both started off on a break-neck run towards Thiensville.

Mr. CORRIGAN, though using his utmost strength, could not stop the horses in their now mad career, and all he could do was to try and keep them in the road. Unfortunately, a carriage came along from the opposite direction at which the runaway horses became still more frightened and turned off the road into the gutter, upsetting the vehicle and throwing the occupants on to the ground. Mr. C. was then compelled to let go the reins to save his life and let the horses go on in their course, they making a complete wreck of the buggy.

The occupants were more or less injured by the fall, but fortunately not dangerous. Mrs. J. MULLANEY received a frightful, though not dangerous, gash on the back of her head. Mr. CORRIGAN's shoulder and right leg were slightly injured. The other occupants, all ladies, were more or less bruised, but more scared than hurt.
The horses with nothing but the harness on, brought up this side of Thiensville, where they were stopped until called for.
PICNIC AT MILWAUKEE RIVER FALLS

Jos. SPEHN, of Grafton, wishes to inform the fun-loving people of this vicinity that he will have a picnic and ball at the Milwaukee River Falls, near Grafton, next Sunday, August 15th, 1880. Good music will be in attendance.
Refreshments of all kinds will be on hand.
NOTICE

Dr. D. W. LYNCH, formerly of Richfield, has opened an office in Milwaukee at 433 Milwaukee St., a few doors north of the post office.
Office hours 9 to 11 A.M., 1 to 3 and 7 to 9 P.M.
CORRECTION

In reporting the business of Mr. F. DUWE, of Thiensville, last week we erroneously stated that he had been shipping wagons to points in Dakota and Minnesota, while it should have read to points in this state. He shipped in the past few weeks several wagons to Sturgeon Bay, Green Bay, Green Leaf, and other points. Mr. DUWE has more work than he possibly can attend to, and does not care to ship wagons, etc. to other places.
The following is copied from the Chilton Times:
Hon. Fred HORN, of Cedarburg, rested his weary bones two nights at the Chilton House. Mr. HORN is one of the ablest representatives of Wisconsin and, although occasionally mixed in politics, is a gentleman of culture and refinement, as well as a cosmopolitan in geniality. He is the only German in the United States that ever presided over a legislative body, elected by the people, having been elected three times speaker of the assembly of Wisconsin, twice by the democrats and once by the republicans. The reason the republicans elected him for the position was that they were short of American timber. He is a gentleman wherever you place him and favors P.V. DEUSTER's return to congress, 'Tis well.
This is the way they make election bets in Manitowoc; which will create considerable of excitement right after the election:

"Ed. SCHINDLER and Anton SCHNEIDER have made a singular wager on the result of the presidential election. Ed. bets on Hancock and Schneider on Garfield. The loser is to wheel the winner around town in a wheelbarrow, stopping at all the saloons and treating the crowds that might be attracted by this singular proceeding. A band with some kind of anti-diluvian instruments will accompany the procession. There is to be no back down on either side." - Pilot
The rumor that THE ENTERPRISE is to be married to the ADVERTISER is not true. Though the ADVERTISER proposed but was not accepted. Have you any more secrets, Mr. Advertiser?
EXCURSION FROM MILWAUKEE TO CEDARBURG
The excursion from Milwaukee to Hilgen's Springs on Sunday last, accompanied by BACH's band, was unusually pleasant, made so by the clear fine day, and a very large crowd of people.

The concert in the afternoon by the above orchestra was listened to by several hundred persons - quite a number that did not come with the excursion were present and did much to make it a success. The concert was kept up till about 6 o'clock in the evening when dancing was begun, and those that delighted in "tripping the light fantastic" had that privilege until about 12 o'clock in the evening.

The excursionists, however, took the train for home about 10 _ o'clock.

We must not fail to mention the many expressions made that the Hilgen Springs was the most lovely and pleasant summer resort in the state.
~~~~~~~~~~~
SCHOOL MEETING

Below we give a portion of the proceedings of the School meeting which was held in the school house, July 12, 1880. Said part of proceedings was left out in our report last week by an oversight of the compositor.

A motion was made and seconded that the sum of $50.00 be appropriated to Miss Martha GANNON for last year, she only having received $250.00 as salary. This additional pay is on account of her faithful services rendered to the district the past year. Motion was unanimously carried.

The meeting then on motion of Mr. P. K. GANNON, proceeded to elect a clerk of this District by acclamation.

Mr. GANNON moved to reelect Chas. WILKE, whose term expires on the 31st of this month, as clerk of this district for the next term off three years.

Said motion was seconded by Mr. H. BOCLO.

Motion was carried unanimously.

Motion to adjourn sine die was carried. - Charles WILKE, District Clerk
~~~~~~~~~~~
TURNER FEST

The 27th anniversary of the Cedarburg Turn Society last Sunday was a most pleasant affair. The concert by Prof. HENSLER's Juvenile band was a rare treat and everybody expressed entire satisfaction.

The dance in the hall in the evening was also well attended.

The committee of arrangements deserve great credit for what they have done in making the whole affair a success.

Miss ROTH expresses herself highly delighted with city life and prefers it to that of the country. Miss R. made our sanctum a pleasant call also.
~~~~~~~~~~~
PAINFUL ACCIDENT

This week we are called upon to record a most painful and probably fatal accident that happened to Charles BOXHORN while at work on the Horn's Corners bridge last Friday afternoon.

It seems that while on the scaffolding handling some heavy materials, it gave way and precipitated him on rocks and timbers that were laying directly below him - falling sideways and breaking several ribs. A physician was at once called who made it as comfortable for him as circumstances would permit and at the present writing, is doing as well as can be expected, though in a very serious condition. It is hoped that Charlie will be able to be out and around soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~
OUR SIDE

All we have to say in regard to the consolidation of this paper with the Advertiser is that the Advertiser man came over to Cedarburg on Tuesday, July 27, 1880 and (although we had been informed of the consolidation through Mr. F. W. HORN, but whether Mr. HORN proposed to the Advertiser man or the Advertiser man to Mr. HORN, we cannot say) proposed consolidation to us, giving it as his reasons that it would be of mutual benefit to both. He also said that he was open for navigation any moment we would say so - leaving us to consider the matter.

The above are the true facts in regard to the newspaper wedding and the Advertiser man knows it better than we do, and anything he may say to the contrary is an infamous lie.
~~~~~~~~~~~
SCHOOL PICNIC

About forty-thousand youngsters attended the school picnic last Sunday afternoon, and all seemed to enjoy themselves with various kinds of games, dancing, hopping and wheeling, and drinking lemonade.

In the evening they were permitted to dance in the Turner Hall until about ten o'clock, when the grown-up persons took the floor and the little ones unwillingly forced to go home.
~~~~~~~~~~~
COUNTY FAIR

The annual county fair will be held at Saukville on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 28 and 29, 1880. The officers are using all efforts to make this the most successful fair ever held in this county. Everybody is requested to bring something for exhibition and also cordially invited to attend.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Advertiser in giving an account of the 27th Anniversary of the Turn Society and the excursion by BACH's band that took place on the 8th inst., shows the jealousy it entertains against Cedarburg because it boasts of a newspaper, THE ENTERPRISE, and says we absorb a small portion of its vested right. We admit that the Advertiser has a right to patronage here, and we never objected, nor is it our nature to object - but we can't see why, in the name of justice, we should not be allowed the same privilege?
~~~~~~~~~~~
In our last issue, instead of putting down Thos. FLYNN's sales for the past season at $10,000, we should have said that that was about the amount of his sales for one firm alone. His total sales amounted to over $20,000. Tom is a number one man in his line of business, and is likely at some future day, to monopolize the Agricultural machine business of this county.
~~~~~~~~~~~
TEACHERS' INSTITUTE

The annual institute for the instruction of the teachers of Ozaukee county in the methods of teaching and in the various branches taught in the public schools, opened here last Monday. The institute is conducted by Prof. Edward McLOUGHLIN, superintendent of Fond du Lac county, and Superintendent Wm. F. SCOTT, both of whom are well acquainted with the wants of the district schools and will do much work with the teachers present, to improve the condition of the schools in this county. Prof. McLOUGHLIN, though quite a young man, stands in the first rank of the educators of Wis., and has had considerable experience in institute work. The following is a list of the teachers attending the institute:

Chas. LAU, Mary O'MARA, Hermine RAAKE, Francis RYAN, Jane REYNOLDS, Agnes FAGAN, Noah GOGGIN, Adele ALTON, Elizabeth THIEN, Hannah SHEHAN, Mary FLANNIGAN, Celestine MEYER, Martha GANNON, Lizzie FOSTER, John LYNCH, Frank WEBER, Arno KRATZSCH, Albert KREUTZER, H. SCHRAMER, Michael PENTONY, Clinton LOAMER, Richard LEWIS, Richard REICHSTEIN, Nicholas ROBER, Dan. E.

~~~~~~~~~~~
ACCIDENT

We hear of a painful accident that happened to a daughter of Mr. Julius POHLER, living one mile this side of Newburg on the road to Horn's Corners, last Thursday. While out in the field hauling grain into the barn, a son of the above named was pitching bundles on the wagon where the girl was engaged in taking away the bundles, he (the boy) struck her with the fork and running three tines almost through her head. At last accounts the girl is doing well and her recovery is expected.
~~~~~~~~~~~
FOR SALE

The undersigned executors will sell 40 acres of good land off from the BARRET farm, _ mile north of the village of Cedarburg, east of the Plank road. There are about twelve acres good Woodland and other clear. Said sale will take place on the farm August 30, 1880, 2 P.M>

Conditions will be made known before the sale on the above day. - D. B. CORCORAN, Thomas DUNN, Executors
~~~~~~~~~~~
The Advertiser don't believe that Charles G. MEYER is a candidate for the assembly, and thinks that after serving this county for eight years in the capacity of county treasurer ought to take a rest. Mr. M. is a candidate for the assembly, and has also been an efficient and capable officer in his present capacity, and it would be a credit to Ozaukee County to send such a man as Mr. M. to the legislature. The Advertiser is inclined to be a little offish of late.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. A. BODENDOERFER is talking of building a new grist mill on the Milwaukee river, and for that purpose has entered into negotiation for the Turner water power, below the woolen mills at Grafton. It is not yet a certainty that the mill will be built but if it should be, and at the place above mentioned, we congratulate Grafton upon securing another valuable industry for the town.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. J. ZAUN has a new advertisement in this issue that will be of interest to those having barley or any other kinds of grain to sell. Mr. ZAUN always pays the highest possible price for grain and farmers will find it to their advantage to bring it right along.
