BEWARE OF A SWINDLER
who has been operating at Plymouth and this village, purporting to be an establishing agent for Butterick's patterns. He was here Saturday and Monday and by telling a plausible story and seemingly a clear one, he made arrangements with three of our leading dressmakers to take the agency for said pattern, and received from each three dollars, to insure their accepting the case of patterns when it should arrive within a week's time. In Plymouth he signed himself A. D. AVERY to the receipts, and here as A. J. KENNEDY. Wallace HANFORD and Mr. BLOM discovered his scheme about 9 o'clock Monday evening, and upon going to Degenkolb's where he was stopping to bring him to task, he had taken his “grip” and skipped but on the pretense of going to Mrs. BLOM's to deliver a pattern book. We warn the dressmakers of other places to beware of this scoundrel. He is a tall and slim, dark hair and heavy moustache; wore dark stiff hat, dark saque coat with light pants. A search was made for him at Plymouth and Sheboygan yesterday but he was non est. - Sheboygan Falls News, of March 3.

A special from Madison to THE ENTERPRISE, dated March 9, 1880, informs us that the committee of report were unanimously against the repeal of the Cedar Creek Hydraulic Co., Charter. The committee found, by close observation, that the petition brought in the senate by B. S. WEIL, of West Bend, to be a misrepresentation of the facts setting forth that the hydraulic company by damming the Cedar lake in winter and draining it a few inches in summer, to supply the millers along the creek with sufficient water to carry on their business, is detrimental to the farmers along the Cedar Creek or near the lake, draining their wells, etc. but to the contrary; that it was a benefit not along to those living near the lake. Thus the water 'boom,” the West Bend Democrat and its associates were trying to create was a notorious failure and the Cedar Creek will continue to be the source of our manufacturers expect to get their water supply from.

Election April 6.

Snow last Friday.

Easter next Sunday.

Rather windy yesterday.

Business is just abooming.

Meadow larks are quite plenty.

Theater next Monday evening.

W. EMBRING of the foundry is crowded with work at present.

Pretty soon the local paper will record the appearance of swallows.

KOENIG & SCHLEGEL, millers of Saukville, are doing a first rate business.

Four weddings are on the tapis to take place immediately after Easter.

H. G. GROTH & Co., dealers in hardware, have an advertisement in this issue.

If you desire to have your machinery of any kind repaired, give W. ENBRING a call.

Some predict a cold snap in April. We may go sleigh riding in July so far as that's concerned.

Mr. GOTTSCHALK informs us that he will commence running his bus to Milwaukee early next May.

Fred BECKMANN is excavating the cellar under his building preparatory to raising it this coming spring.

? HOLIHAN, of this place, died last Saturday at 7 o'clock, of cancer and was buried last Monday morning in the Catholic cemetery.

Station agent, F. W. HORN, Jr., informs us that the freight business at the depot in this place was never in a more prosperous condition.

Mr. N. YOUNG, druggist of Port Washington, keeps constantly on hand all kinds of justices, mortgages and other blanks, and sells them very cheap.

Michael RUPPERT, clerk of the circuit court, is down with asthma, and has been confined to his bed a few days last week. Hope Mike will be able to attend to business soon.

Geo. W. PECK has put a new dress on the Sun, and now it is not alone the best and spiciest humorous periodical in the Union, but also one of the neatest printed in the United States.

A communication from James R. TROTTMANN, of Madison, son of our miller, Mr. TROTTMANN, will appear in our next, it was received at this office too late to appear in this issue.

Who is to be the enumerator for this town? is the question at present. Several applications were sent to Mr. LOPER, supervisor of this district, but has not as yet decided upon the appointment.

Jake DIETRICH, the butcher, has the finest young beef ever brought to his slaughter house which he will kill for the holidays. We have seen the critter and must say it is really a fine one. Jake has had considerable experience in the butcher business and knows just what is good for his customers. Fresh sausage of all kinds can be had at anytime.

A concert will be given at the “Stadttheater,” Milwaukee, on Friday April 2, 1880, for the benefit of Prof. Chr. BACH, which promises to be a most grand affair. How would it be if those of our music loving citizens would make arrangements with the Wisconsin Central to have the accommodation train going to Milwaukee, arrive here at 4:00 p.m. instead of 5:45, which would give them plenty of time to attend the above concert, and then come out on the midnight express, if they wish.

Rumor has it that the Patzer Woolen Mills, recently purchased by the Cedarburg Woolen Mills Co. and Mr. RAMIEN, of Milwaukee, is to be moved to this place and will be located somewhere between here and Grafton.

THE TOWN ELECTION
As the time of electing town officers is drawing nigh, it behooves the voters to be sure that they are voting for men for the different town offices that will work with and for the town at large. Those of the candidates that are already in the field are all considered good, sound men, but the question arises, are they in favor of improvements that are necessary if they are elected? It is especially so with the board of supervisors, they must be men that will consent to and advocate improvements in the town that are necessary to make it one of the foremost in the state, as everybody that lives in such a place takes pride in saying: “We have one of the nicest little villages in the state, and I am proud of it!” Such men must be chosen that will be persisting in the line of improvements, and so long as we have town officers that will object to improvements, so long as we be obliged to take with the greatest of animosity the different opinions that are often expressed by outsiders: “Cedarburg is very nicely located, but the inhabitants are not in favor of improvements of any kind!” Such expressions are of common occurrence. The only true method of building up a town, no matter how and where located, is to harmonize in all things, no matter of what nature they may be. This town is sorely in need of one improvement, which alone would make this one of the finest towns in the state, namely: sidewalks!! Where is the citizen that would not rejoice of such an improvement? Now that our railroad tax is paid would it not be proper to make such improvements that would be a source of drawing considerable trade here? Cedarburg is blessed with one of the finest, coziest and preferable summer resorts in the state -- or we may say in the northwest - but pleasure seekers sun us because there is too much mud! Elect a board that will be in favor of improving our streets, the inhabitants and business men will be benefited by it.

Not alone would sidewalks be the means of drawing a goodly crowd of pleasure seekers to this place, but would save doctor bills, and the children could conveniently go to school with dry feet, as it is now their feet are nearly always wet when rainy weather, and the consequences are sickness.
~~~~~~~~~~~
THE VETERANS
In accordance with a published notice of the Executive Committee, a meeting of the Veterans of the late war was held at the Court House in Port Washington, on the 20th day of March, 1880.

The meeting was called to order at 11 A.M. by the Pres. John GOUGH.

The Secretary being unable to attend on account of sickness, the Assistant Sec. acted as Secretary of the meeting.

Without transacting any business the meeting adjourned until 1:30 P.M.

The Meeting was called to order at the adjourned time, and a motion was carried instructing the Sec. to write to the Secretary of State organization, for all particulars in regard to the reunion in Milwaukee in June and upon receipt of the same, to send, or cause to be sent, a copy to each of the members of the Committee of Organization in this County, and publish the same in the local papers.

The following Resolution was then adopted, Resolved, that the thanks of this organization are due, and are hereby tendered to the members of the press of the County, without exception for their kindness in publishing the proceedings of our meetings and the notices of our committee.

Moved and seconded to adjourn, and meet again at ALBRECHT's Hall in the village of Saukville, on the 22nd of May, 1880 at 10 A.M.

The meeting then adjourned. - John GOUGH, Pres.; Dan E. McGINLEY, Asst. Sec.

THE DEBATE
The debate and oyster supper given by the temperance society last Wednesday evening was well attended, about two hundred persons being present. The evening entertainment was quite interesting, and the society no doubt profited by it. The programme, though not the same as published in THE ENTERPRISE on account of the absence of two or three that were expected to be present to take part, was a most excellent one.

Charles GOTTSCHALK was in Milwaukee yesterday where he purchased a couple of new phaetons to be used in his livery stable this coming summer. Mr. GOTTSCHALK now has some of the finest turn-outs of any livery stable in the state.

August GERACH, of the firm of ZIMMERMAN & Co. brewers of Mequon, was in Cedarburg last Thursday. By the way, it would not be amiss to inform our readers that the above firm brew as good beer as can be had in this or any other state, and their beer has a ready sale wherever it is brought.

Mr. P. CONELLY, one of the substantial farmers of Granville, was in Cedarburg last Thursday and, of course, called at THE ENTERPRISE office, and paid for another year's subscription.

HOLLAND - at his residence in the village of Cedarburg, J. H. HOLLAND, aged 30 years, 8 months, and four days, of consumption.

Mr. HOLLAND was born in this town and lived here all his life excepting two years, which time he lived in Iowa where he was engaged as painter, being a painter by trade. While in Iowa he became ill with consumption and immediately returned to this town, his birth place, consulting physicians and using all kinds of remedies that he thought might help him, but to no avail, the dreaded disease had marked its victim, and after being sick three years, departed this earthly life last Thursday evening at about 6 o'clock, and was buried last Saturday in the Catholic cemetery. Mr. HOLLAND leaves a young wife and goodly number of friends and relatives to mourn his loss.

Mr. W. ROHRBERP, our butcher, will in a short time visit your burg with fresh meets and sausages and continue to do so until winter sets in again.

C. E. WIEPKING has several fine oil paintings in his shop, the fruit of his leisure hours. C. E. is a first class workman and gives satisfaction to those who patronize him.

August PLOEGER, the harness maker of this place, is doing a very good business at present. Mr. PLOEGER is a first class harness maker and we doubt whether he has a superior in the county.
~~~~~~~~~~~
We have for several years noticed the interest taken by our German Catholic citizens in celebrating St. Joseph's day. As it was our good fortune to be present at the ceremony last Friday, we noticed there must have been undue exertions used in making it so improving. The music on this occasion was excellent, being furnished by the choir, assisted by other vocal talent. The quartette Ave Maria by Cherubini was particularly noticed, being a new selection by Miss HALM, leader of the choir. The church was crowded, as is usual on the anniversary of the German patron saint. Many things were tendered to the present pastor, Rev. KORFHAGE, for his kindness in inviting Rev. Father ZIMMER, of Geneva, Wis., to be present. Rev. ZIMMER was located here some eight years ago. He is a talented young man, as all who have listened to his discourses will admit, and his sermon on this occasion in both German and English was highly appreciated by all those present.
