CLOSING STORES SUNDAY
Cedarburg, April 30th, 1883
We the undersigned, agree to close our stores or places of business on Sundays from and after May 12th.

John BRUSS, H.G. GROTH & Co., BOERNER Bros., F. BUECHELE, WIRTH Bros., Mrs. PODOLL, H.C. NERO, Chas. WILKE, Jacob FROELICH, Cedarburg Woolen Mills, HENTSCHEL & JOCHEM, LAUTERBACH & Co.

We publish the foregoing with great pleasure. There ought to be an entire day of rest out of one week for every man, and especially for those who are hard at work during the whole week, let alone the sacredness of the day as considered by so many of our best citizens.

With exception of the Post Office which will be open from 10:30 to 11:30.

*******************
One of the oldest settlers in town of Jackson, is Patrick O'BRIEN Esq. and it must have been an oversight that his name was not mentioned among the old settlers at the meeting of the club lately in West Bend. Mr. O'BRIEN is a valuable citizen, and if any of our Wisconsin millionaires wish to have their grounds around their palaces tastefully laid out, they always know how to coax him away from his fine farm. We understand that Mr. MARSHALL has engaged him to still more beautify his splendid place at Lake Side, Waukesha County, where Mr. O'BRIEN has ordered the NEWS to be sent to him in order to know what is going on at home during his stay there.

*******************
STILL BUILDING
Mr. B. WEBER, it seems, did not sell his stone house at the Depot, to Mr. Chas. KLUG, to get along with one house less; for he has commenced building another, between said house and his hotel property; and has its basement well along already, having commenced the digging of the cellar last Wednesday. He will build it about the same size of the one sold, and of brick, gothic style and one story high.

During the summer, he will also build of brick, the long-contemplated store building, on the corner immediately opposite his hotel; and ere many months the people of the Depot Ward of the city of Cedarburg, will have a chance to buy their groceries and dry goods, nearer home.

It strikes us it would not be a bad plan for some of our large dealers to occupy it, as a branch store, if it is to be rented. It is inevitable that the Depot, the Hilgen Manf. Co., the Elevators, and Springs Hotels and the Cheese factory, will cause business to concentrate more and more in that locality, and hence make it a good place for trade.

*******************
Notice the change in Dr. BEVIER and Wm. SCHLAEGER's ad. They have their headquarters at Washington House and persons wishing to consult them can find them at that place every Fair day.

*******************
It is a fact that G. PODOLL the photographer makes the best picture in this county. He does his work at home and charges almost nothing for it. Give him a trial and you will be satisfied.

In two or three weeks there will be another concert and we hope the proprietors will strike a luckier day.
