THE WAUPACA REPUBLICAN

September 29, 1882

 

 

            The musical cow-bell is the most prominent attraction in our city in the morning, and were it to be banished from our Main Street and the court-yard by an act of the Common-Council, the people would mourn the loss very much.  There is nothing so pleasant and soothing to the ear as a cow-bell, and people who live in cities where the festive bovine is not allowed to perambulate the main thoroughfares know nothing of its charms and we cannot express it by words, it is inexpressible.  It is astonishing what charms such music has for some people.  We think our city fathers must be decidedly fond of music for the cow-bell seems to have great charms for them and awakens their most tender feelings towards mankind.  Verily, the cow-bell hath many charms in Waupaca.
