Eprroa JouHSAL; Thirty years ago the section
Of Webster Township, Wood County, known a.
Housoholder's Corners and vicinity, was compare
tivelya wilderness and in this day, when We
are surrounded by plenty ami the commodities ol
life, Il is doubdcss hardly possible to imagine tn,
hardships and difficulties experienced by thos,
who have moulded intp a splendid farming coun.
try, that which was in 1886 dense forests and i'm
passiblc swamps.

changes may BE- wrought In a few years. On,

try skrting each side Of tho McCutchiuville RoaC
between this place aul perrysburg, could in $.
few years bo changed into rich farming coun
try. And yet it is true. What changes time Is
constantly making in everything -oursciccs as wei
as the country How long since we were young
knowing nothing Of the woighty responsibilities Of
| life all pleasure, joy and innocence Alas how
changed See that old min passing by whose
hair Is white with age, and whose stopping form
and lettering footsteps plainly tell that the golden
harvest IS nearly ripe, that the husbandman will
soon thrust in the sickle aud gather in tho ripe
