Railroad Meeting

EVENING"
4 ROAD A SUCCESS!

Last Tuesday evening we had
the pleasure of attending one OF
a series of meetings held in the
Court Room in this place. We
had been told there was no mon
Iey in Eaton. That's all bosh.
We know better now. When
Railroads are steadily stretching
out over the land, and are en-
bracing our town on their line,
we have the consolation of know
ing there is money here now, and
the surety is being made doubly
sure by opening o way to receive
more, in subscribing Stock to a
new road. But to the meeting
on last Tuesday tight.
The meeting was called to or
der by j. III. Zoos, Chairman.
j. M. BRowN, Secretary.
Mr.. Zoos led out with a few
stirring remarks in favor of the
Road, but the audience ut first
Appeared cold and indifferent
As the speaker progressed they

the successful effort OF Piqua il

tract would not be let unless
$275, 900 more was raised. o
this, Milton has raised $4,000
The road is surveyed from Piqus

more can be raised along the lin

JUDGE GILMORE.


Mr.. Gilmore, for o time threw
a wet blanket on the arguments
of Mr.. Zoos, by saying he "would
not subscribe another dollar, or
another cent to the road until
some men, who were more able
than he To take shares, would
come up and subscribe - that he
believed in the Importance OF the
road ; that the idea of q Com
pany Offering to build q railroad
and have the ars running upon
lit before a dollar of the Stock
was TO be paid in, was novel and
new! lie had estimated the av.
erage of five dollars to every acre
of land along the line, and be-
lievsd the farmers ought to build
the road, as they are the ones to
be most benefited by it. Farm.
ers say the towns should build
this road. MI. Gilmore went or
to show whereby the farmer
have superior advantages in thu
transportation of grain, the con
yenience of getting from place II

while on the other land, the cit

REGULARITY IN FEEDING
SHEEP

The utmost regularity should be OBJ.
served in the times of feeding either
store or fattening sheep, and in giving
them Just che requisite amount to last
them until the next feeding. If per-
mitted to waste hay, they rapidly ac-
quire the habit of doing SOD. e., pick
ing out the best and then waiting, even
though quite hungry, for another feed.
IF the hay ID coarse and was cut over
ripe, and especially If clover hay be
thus circumstanced, il is not profit
able to.compel the sheep to eat all she
oFts OF refuse but even with such
hay. sheep can soon be taught by over
feeding and carelessness. 10 make q
most unnecessary degree of waste.
All experienced hock-masters con-
cur Ia the opinion that sheep fed with
perfect regularity az 20 time and
amount, (making proper allowance for
the weather !, will do better on rather
inferior keep, than on tha best with
out that regularity. / prefer feeding
three times a day even in the shortest
days Of winter; but many good flock
masters feed but twice. If fed three
times, it should be at sunrise, noon
and an hour before dark; if but twice,
the last feeding should be an hour
earlier. Sheep do not stand at theil
racks and eat well in the dark. It il
not very Important at what period oi
the day grain or roots are given. pro.

EXPRESS RIDING ON THE
PLAINS


A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune describes his early experien ses
on the nlains of the Ear West, and
gives this interesting reminiscence
In those days there were no mil
coaches on the Plains, and the PONY
Express carried the mail matter. The
stations were ten or twelve miles apart,
and the horses were changed at every
station My route extended from the
ranch of my late employer to Big San
dy River, distance of twenty miles.
I was riding on this route at the time
of Abraham Lincoln's first election.
There was great rivalry between the
Pony Express aud the Overland Stage
Company, which ran its coaches over
the same route, and wagon had been
made By the stage company that il
would hrst convey the news of the
election to Denver. We had been in
structed for weeks before that when
the news came up we must ride foI
life, and not allow the stage to gel
ahead Of Us.
= rode a large black horse named
Black Bob, who was famous not only
for his speed, but for having killa6
one rider and broken the leg of aE5th-
or, whose place then held.
The day when the electIaR nRs
came I had Bob all ready, and, noun
ting in hot haste, rode at a furious
pace TO Little Sandy, where the groom
was ordered to have another horse
saddIed for me. The groom was drunk
and thinking it beneath the dignity oi
an express rider to saddle his own
horse, I determined to ride Bob to
the next station. | reached the sta.
tion ahead of time and turned Bob
ever to the groom, who led him into
the stable yard, where be staggered
about little and then fell dead-poor
Bob I felt sorry to see him lying stif
and cold. for he was the pride Of the
prairies. But I had the satisfaction of
knowing the election news was off at
least fifty miles ahead Of the stage,
and the pony express was sure to win
the bet.
With the death of Black Bob ex-
press riding lost all its charms for me.
and 1.deteFmined togive itup. / waited

drew my back pay, and, bidding good
bye to my friends. set out for the states,
