We are under obligations to Post Master PAUL of Milwaukee for promptly investigatingthe complaints made to us by some of our Milwaukee subscribers for not getting theNEWS regularly. The fault was not with the letter carrier but with the clerks ormembers of the family who in the absence of the “boss” took the papers and forgotto place them where he would be likely to find them on his return to the office orhouse. Before complaints of the kind are made to this office, it is perhaps as wellto inquire at home in the first place.

We had just returned from the Lake Shore picnic when we heard ofit and immediately drove over to the Springs to greet our friends among the party,but on arriving were at once surrounded by the merry crowd from Milwaukee when thetwo omnibusses from Port Washington drove up and the party left without our beingable to bid them at least a good bye. We hope that our Port Washington friends willexcuse us, the more so as they must have noticed our capture from which we couldnot escape in time. Among the visitors were Judge EGHART, Mayor STELLING, MessrsPETERMAN and MUELLER, representing the Port Washington “scat-club”. They had withoutdoubt a very pleasant time, but whether they partook in the dance with the Milwaukeefriends after the fine music we are unable to say but do not think they could havewithstood the temptation.

She came to Milwaukee with her parents in theyear 1842 who through the loss of two children previous to the birth of Margaret,concluded to come to a healthier climate. Soon after, the family settled here in the then small village of Cedarburg, where the deceased was married to her survivinghusband on the 11th day of December 1858. Thirteen children were born to the couple,of which four have preceded her into eternity, while of the remaining nine, the youngest,a boy, is but five years old.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saukville, Aug. 28th, 1888
Mr. Editor:
In connection with the firemen a picnic held at this place on the 19th inst. it mustbe noted that the accounts of that affair in the county papers were insufficient,inasmuch as they either omitted entirely or passed over slightly several circumstancesof much importance. With all the apparent good humor that pervaded the place, onecould not help being made aware of an undue degree of preference given to one ofthe tow bands on the grounds. Of course the more favored band well deserved the attentionit received; yet the other was not without merit that under the circumstances wouldsurely have been more readily recognized. It seems that the main cause of the coolreception of the Port Washington band lay in the fact that, while both the Cedarburgand Newburg fire companies were present in nearly full force, the former hiring itsown band, Port Washington was represented by its band alone, which was hired forthe day by the Saukville department. Why so few made their appearance from Port Washingtonis but known to the fire department of that place; and perhaps we of Saukville mayhave no right to expect the notice of our near and more powerful neighbor. Stillfrom the results already attained, it must be seen that such little unions as thatof the 19th tend to the growth of a strong community of interest not only among themembers of the different fire companies, but also, and perhaps to a greater degree,among the different towns themselves. In view of these facts the attitude of PortWashington in taking no notice at all of the picnic, naturally caused some surpriseand brought out so uncomplimentary remarks from the visitors on the aristocraticbearing of the absent company. Port Washington is larger, indeed, than any otherplace in the county, thought 9it is a question whether it can, on that account, lookdown upon the smaller cities and villages. The prestige it now enjoys may be takenfrom the place. -- An Observer.
