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.

CONTRADICTION

West Bend, May 28, 1880

To the Editor of the Cedarburg Enterprise.

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

Last Sunday while Mr. and Mrs. SALTER were visiting friends - the hired man remained at home in the meantime who was in the house - a little girl, giving her name as Mary HOFF, entered the house through a window. The hired man heard the opening of the window and upon investigating, observed this little girl enter and proceed directly to the bureau, which was in the said room, opened it and took therefrom about $15.00 worth in jewelry and money, and most anything she could lay her hands on. The hired man did not molest her in he least, but let her go all over the house; but when he noticed she got ready to leave, she stationed himself in front of the window by which she had entered, and waited for her to leave - she not for one moment suspecting that she was being watched, and for the first time when coming into the room where she entered the window the little girl observed for the first time that she was entrapped. Little Mary at once gave up all the articles she had taken and was let go home.

The next day the father settled the matter with Mr. SALTER, who let him go off rather easy.

It is said that the mother of the little girl forced her to steal and if such is the case, she ought to be punished accordingly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr. WILKE has shown himself a clear headed and fearless pathmaster - though spending considerable of the road tax in the farming district - he has expended enough in the village to build at least some sidewalks, which is a great improvement and ought to receive credit. It is hoped Mr. WILKE will be again appointed next year then we can feel assured that by another year, sidewalks will adorn both sides of our Main street.

THE CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH AT MEQUON

The Mequon Turn Verein has made complete arrangements to celebrate the Fourth at their hall in Mequon in grand style, and to this end they have painted and otherwise improved the inside of the hall to make it as attractive as possible. They have spared no pains, time nor money to make it the grandest celebration of the Fourth of July yet had. A large procession will start at 10 o'clock in the forenoon from the hall and march through Thiensville, thence back towards Bill JAEGER's south of Mequon, and at 1 o'clock they will return to the hall and finish up the festivities there with dancing, turning, etc. A grand display of fireworks will be had during the evening. The managers have made arrangements with Charles GOTTSCHALK, of this place, to run his bus between here and Mequon, and between Bill JAEGER's saloon and Mequon during the day and evening; thus making it convenient for everybody to spend at least a few pleasant hours with the Mequoniers.

Eating and drinking of every description will be plenty there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NUISANCES

A nuisance that is beyond common decency is very largely practiced in Cedarburg that ought to be stopped. Namely, swimming in the creek above and below SCHROEDER & TROTTMANN's mill in broad daylight. It is a disgraceful act on the part of boys and a disgrace to our citizens that there is no stricter law existing in this village than to allow the nuisance to be carried on. If an ordinance prohibiting swimming in broad daylight near a public thoroughfare cannot be passed, then let some of our citizens take the matter in hand and horsewhip the transgressors. There is plenty of time to go in swimming after dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IT WILL BE GRAND!

The Celebration of the Fourth of July At the Hilgen Springs Next Sunday - Arrangements Complete

The celebration of the Fourth by the Cedarburg Turn Society, Cedarburg Fire Company and J. F. HILGEN at the Hilgen Springs, promises to exceed all past celebrations on Independence day. The programme has been very nicely arranged and when we promise a grand time for outsiders as well as those participating we have the confident assurance of the committee of arrangements who are engineering the celebration of the Fourth of July 1880.

The Turn Society and Fire Company will assemble at the Turn Hall at 12M., where they will form a line and march through the village and then proceed to the Hilgen Springs, where the Turn Society will give free exhibitions of turning, jumping, etc., during the afternoon. In the evening, the members of both societies will again form a line and march to the Turn Hall, where the evening will be taken up in dancing, etc.

A grand display of fireworks will take place during the evening.

CHELOKUSKY's string band will furnish the music for those that delight in tripping the fantastic toe during the afternoon at the Springs and in the evening at the Turn Hall.

For a first class time we would advise everybody to come to Cedarburg.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STOCK FAIR

The fact that Chicago horse buyers were here and were paying good prices for horses drew an immense throng of farmers to this place last Monday, fair day, with horses - not much else was to be seen but horses. Three carloads of horses were bought inside two hours. As high at $250 a piece was paid for them and nothing less than $125 for any kind of a horse.

Of cattle there was nothing to speak of but what there was, was sold very readily.

Cedarburg never had such a lively fair as last Monday, and we don't think will have another so well attended as that of last Monday this summer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. H. TOLL at Hamilton, can make you as nice and nobby a suit of clothes as can be made anywhere. Give him a trial just once and you will not want to go anywhere else in the future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A collection is being made to pay off the clock in the Catholic church. As the clock is a benefit to a great many, a liberal amount of money should be subscribed by every body taking an interest in the welfare of Cedarburg.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rumor has it that the St. Paul Rail Road Company will purchase the Wisconsin Central. How true the rumors are we know not, but under the present management the road is operated as good as can be.
