AIIsTUR EDErrR | am nv specializing karrse-
ter. hav 4cite that is not given to kommon

make fortune b4 she wood accept my hand, but
she haz my hart alrcdy.
l hav got too profcshions am freenologist
and phzzyologist, but cannot much more than
make livin and pay my travciin expences.
So concluded must speculate sum. First,
thot wood 60 into the coal lie bizness, but after
considerin the matter l concluded it waz rather
greazy speculation, and wat little money had ac-
cumulated mite slip thru my fingers and be lost
forever. SO concluded to read the uuzcpapers
and see wat other chance there waz.
Wun day, as I waz reading the Perrysburg
Journal, my izc fell upon paragraph that
throwed me in an exstacy of dclitc.
The people ov Wood County waz prayin for the
removal ov the kounty-seat thinks l. il they pray
in good faith they will move it, for the holy writ
sez if you hov faith az a Crane ov mustard seed
you can move mountings, and the kounty seat iz
not haf az big az a mounting), and it waz to be
moved to Bowling Green, and there | must and
will go. So packs my valice, takes my umber-
rea under my arm and starts on the first train for
Tom Togunny, az that waz the nearest stashing to
Bowling Green, and there wnz daily line ov ex-
press Wagons running from there to the pint Of
destiuashing.
After jurney ov Z miles from the r. r.. I arriv.
Feeling sumwat fantc, concluded to take few
refreshments b4 proceeding to bizness, 50 rushed
for grocery and bot sum crackrs aud cheze. See
ing goodly number ov citizens present konklu
ded he'd better make my bizness known. Sez |,

cite IL for moyin the kounty seat. Iwant to lokate,
and if the site is good. want to buy real estate
If there IL ung for sule. | am n freenologist and

in bizness perhlinanuy.
One man seq, " There is no dout but that it i'll

Another seL, " IL must cum here It it IL moved at
ALL" Another sez, 4" This IL the geographical
center ov the kounty, and this IL the place to To-

wealth 0v the kOunty, and we can raze the mummy
to bild the bdns." Sez /, The site seems putty

BY this time, fellcr that waz settin back in the
corner sez " | live to Portage, miles south ov
here and we think there IL good cite Citing il
there. You mad better 80 and see wat the site il

After revel7in the matter in my mind, konklu-
ded TO 90 to Portige. So l took my umbarella un-
der my arm and started Az soon az | arrv.
went to grocery. Scz !, "Gentcmen wat is the
site for gettin the kounty seat hcre?" One seq
" 1t is good, wait till we get grant and we will
vote it right here"
Another sez, "Pcrrysburg will vote for thi,

stock and the citizens goin to grade it, and ta
! il shure to bring the kOunty-seat here. Folks
think bekaws we don't make big blow we aint
doing nothing"
This rather disc lnsearted me. Thinks l. thery
IL no certainty in speculations here, so b4 nves
| | will 20 to Perrvsburg, the head ov the kounty
and see wat the ruln organs say. So goes fol
! the head az soon as possible. Upon arriving thcr
| see several men at the deep o. | steps up t.
! them, se2 ], =" Gcntlenicn, am freeuoogist anc

0v this kounty, but we can defeat them if we ar
