Shortville News reports:
A fire starting from the sawdust pile of the old Loyal Mill last Thursday, has burned all the marsh land for five miles around. For the last five days P. Cramer, Ed Kellicut, C. Shaffer, and H. Hunter have been in danger of losing their crops and buildings, but as of now the fire is under control. The past few years fire has broken out in that section, every time it gets dry.
Well the glorious July 4th is past and there were picnics all around with everyone seeming to enjoy themselves. But we think we would all have been glad to stay home if we could have a good rain. Everything is so dry, crops look very discouraging and people are beginning to sell off their livestock on account of dry pastures and the lack of winter fodder.
A large party of people from York and North Grant celebrated Monday, the 4th, at Mr. and Mrs. Trimbergers, picnicking during the day and dancing in the evening at F. Potters barn. A jolly good time was had by all.
At a meeting of the Neillsville Electric Co. Monday it was decided to postpone the building of the dam until next spring. This decision was reached after considerable discussion, and it was thought advisable owing to the lateness of the season, as it was feared that the equinoxial storms might interfere with the work. It is the intension of the company to take on the project early in the spring.
In the meantime the services of a competent engineer will be secured to verify the surveys already made. Estimates as to the cost of the dam will also be secured and other information received. The project is not dead by any means and all the little details will be worked out this fall, so that when the work is commenced it will not be delayed.
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Hemphill and Miss Frances left Tuesday for Duluth, where they took a steamer to Buffalo, and from there will go to Mr. Hemphills old home at Clearfield, Pa., to spend a few weeks. This is Mr. Hemphills first visit to his old home in 14 years.
Herman Carl came home from St. Peters, Minn., Saturday where he has been for a couple of days buying hay. He succeeded in buying enough hay to run him through the winter. Mr. Carl is a farmer who looks ahead, and if there were more like him there would not have been so much stock sacrificed lately. Prices for good milch cows will soar next spring, but they will have no effect upon Mr. Carl. It will take years to some dairymen to rebuild their herds, which were depleted by the enforced sale of their stock.
Its the water that makes one beer more liked than another, and the water used in brewing Neillsville Beer, according to an analysis; we have the best in Clark County.
This makes our beer a perfect drink; the more so as it is made in a modern spotless plant. Every year we get the choicest barley to malt under our own direction, hence no better malt can be used.
Through long aging we produce a full-tasting beer with a 2 ½% alcohol; in that quantity it is beneficial, as it stimulates digestion.
With our sanitary bottling equipment, Neillsville beer is never exposed to the air from aging period to time you pull the cork, each bottle inspected before and after filling.
When you can purchase an article of home production thats of equal if not superior value to anything of the kind made elsewhere, why not use the home product?
Always keep a few bottles of Neillsville beer in your home; 24 bottles $1.25
(The Neillsville Brewery was owned and operated by Kurt Listeman, at that time. D.Z.)

The crew hair cut of Dick Urban, little son of Joseph Urban, JR. disappeared beneath the waves at Hatfield on July Fourth, just as Arne Matheson took an anxious look. Arnies job was to watch Richard Urban, along with three other youngsters, at a picnic. He jumped right into the canal, with his clothes on, took a firm grip on little Richard and pulled him to shore.
Members of the picnic party, consisting of the Joe Urban, Orville Evenson and Matheson families, reckon that Arne did not jump any too soon. The canal drops off at a disconcerting rate right there, and a minute or two later little Dick might have been in deep water, where finding in time might have been difficult.
This happened at a spot called Picnic Point, at Hatfield. The parents of the four children have acquired doubts about that spot as a place to take children. As for Arne, he was glad that he resisted a chance to go fishing. The two other men of the party had gone off a little way in a boat, but Arne thought he better stick around to watch the children. His catch was bigger and better than that of the others.

Several women were there to help Mrs. Schlagel prepare the meals. About 65 persons were fed and the tables were spread out doors. When completed this barn will be one of the most up-to-date around here.
