day. July 8th,
Rev ltadka has been busy of late
looking after the interests of the new
parsonage and taking subscriptions
fer the same. Ashton and its parish
ought to donate liberally to the new
building and all should work in harm
ony to further the success in this good
undertaking.
As Ashton has kept quiet this year
in regard tw a celebration a committee
is now at work making arrangements
for a harvest jubilee to take place the
latter part of August or the first week
in September, in which all the soci
eties of Ashton and vncinity are ex
pected to participate.
A very pleasant surprise party was
held at the residence »f Air. and

merry with a feast of ice cream and
strawberries. After the good things

The Ashton township board met at
Ashton on Tuesday’ July 7th and tran

meeting was held with the village
board in the evening to confer with ts

the joint session and everybody
seemed satisfied
The following Ashtonites attended the
Fourth of July celebration at St. Paul:
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Swauek and
children, Air. and. Airs. G. W. Marvell,
John Jeweski, Wm. Knutzen, Leonard
Hop, Todd Conklin, Frank Topolski,

did not get.
There is, and has been of late, some
very decided kicking in regard to
the sidewalks in the village. Some
time ago an ordinance was passed
to lay sidewalks in Ashton which
was done as far as the villagers
were concerned. Then comes the
Lincoln Town Site Company and
the Keystone Lumber Company
two coporations, and refuse to lav
the sidewalk in defiance of any law
Thus we have the power of corpor
ations, and as one of the board says,
“the blurt must and shall work' as
Ashton has not the ways to force it.
