A Word to Wool. Growers,

As the season for preparing wool for
market is almost at hand, it is import
ant that growers should give attention
to the matter of caring for their wool in
order that it should command the high
est market price. All have noticed that
those farmers who washed their wool
the cleanest and put it up the neatest
have commanded the best prices, for
several years past. There is a growing
disposition on part of manufacturers to
discriminate in regard to the condition
as well as the quality of wool, and this
feeling is likely to have an important
bearing upon the rates this season.
There is also another reason why farm
ers should be more careful in getting up
their clips. For several years there has
been disposition to breed heavy, greasy
sheep, and negligence in washing. This
condition of things has materially re-
duced the average price of our wool,
and will continue to do so without it is
speedily corrected. This is a, question
in which growers are mutually inter-
terested, as by improving or lowering
the general character of their woods
they can elevate or depress prices. This
affects all, not only those that neglect
their woods but also those that are more
careful. Holmes county wool
growers, if they would regain the high
character for that staple that they had
years ago, must adopt a better mode of
of preparing their clips Our county
producing as good wool as any other
region, and if we do not get as good
prices it is the fault of the growers
themselves. y q 4 a r.

In another place we give the proceed
ings OF the Railroad meeting held in
Wooster on Wednesday of last week.
Since the meeting, we understand that
the people of Wooster have been aroused
to the situation and that over one hun
dred thousand dollars have been raised.
This looks like businessman we hope that
the people of this and Coshocton coun-
ties will take hold with equal, if not
greater energy, and push the matter
right through. 1t is now high time to
stop talking and go to work in earnest.
The idea of running the road through
and connecting with the Marietta and
Caldwell road strikes us as a very good
one. That road is already opened from
Marietta, on the Ohio River, to Caldwell.
From Caldwell to Millersburg the dis
tance is about seventy-five miles, stri-
king Cambridge and Coshocton on its
route. This would give us direct and
short route to the Ohio River, through
one of the richest coal regions in the
United States. 1t now behooves oul
citizens to wake up and do all in theil
power to securesthis road, and If the
northern section of the road does not
come to time, let us have in connection
with the C. Mt. V. & d. r. r. new
route from Cleveland to Marietta by
way of Coshocton, Cambridge ant
Caldwell.

Fire i'm Millersburg.

A little after five o'clock on Monday
afternoon an alarm of fire was given
In few moments the streets were
thronged with people running in the
direction of Main and Washington
streets. 1t was soon noticed that the
roof of the building in which Dix has
his Meat Shop was on fire. 1t was but
the work of moment for several OF
our most active citizens to reach the top
of the building where the fire was, with
buckets of water. Although but a few
moments had elapsed from the time the
fire was discovered, several feet of the
roof were burnt off. That and the ad-
joining building being frame and very
dry, would have gone very quick had II
not been for the promptness with which
twas checked. The engine was on hands
and ready to play when it was announced
that the fire was out. The fire origin
ated from a fiue into which several
stove-pipes enter from the second story
of the building. Our town has been
remarkably lucky as to fires, as no build
ing has been destroyed for several years
We are glad to know that our Fire Com,
pany has been recognized, so that ir
case of need they may be ready at ;
moments warning to stay the progress
of the flames.

Don't be Fooled.

The following story of Signor Blits is
told by the Springfield Repsb'tcun as
having happened in train some years
ago: "As the cars stopped, an apple
boy rushed in, and Blitz, after patron
izing him, cut open an apple and took a
silver half-dollar out of it, greatly to
the boys astonishment. "If that is the
kind of fruit you sell, I'll take another"
said Blitz, which he did, and 10! there
was another half-dollar inside it. Blitz,
assuming great excitement, then asked
the boy what he would take for the
whole basket of apples, saying it would
be a grand speculation. But the lad re-
fused to sell even at five cents apiece,
and on leaving the station, Blitz saw
him seated by the wall, cutting open his
unsold apples, in vain search for silver
half-dollaIs."

Sidewalks.

just now is very good time to make
repairs on sidewalks and pavements,
Every one whoswalks our streets, with
at least one eye open, can easily see that
such repairs are badly needed in many
portions of the town. On some of our
most frequented streets there are great
holes in the pavements which catch and
hold the water as it falls. To be step
ping into these of dark night, when a
person is least expecting anything OF
. the kind, does not create very pleasing
sensation. We are glad to see that some
repairs are being made, and We hope
Others may take an example.

Little Women.

Three little girls were playing among
the poppies and sage-brush of the back
yard. Two of them were making be-
lieve" keep house, a little way apart, as
near neighbors might. At last one was
overheard saying to the youngest of the
lot, 'gThere now Nelly, You go over to
Sarah's house and stop there little
while, and talk as fast as you can, and
then yon come, back and tel NE what
she says about me, and then I'll talk
about her; and then, you win go and
tell her all Isay and We wifi get mad as
hornets and won'f speak when we meet,
just as our mothers do, you know; and
that will be such fun-won't it ?" Had
not these little mischiefs lived to some
purpose? And were they not close OBJ
servers and apt scholars? Charmingly
trained for the chief business of life in
a small neighborhood. .-sais Oh. O.

An Aged Citizen Gone.

Elizabeth Way, who departed this life
May 1st, was born i'm the State of Mary
land, March 22d, 1880; and consequent
ly was over eighty-two years of age at
her death. She was married to her now
aged and bereaved companion in the
year 1911; and hence they have trav-
eled life's pathway together over sixty
years. They moved to the State of Ohio
in the year 1919, and settled In the Vi
cinity where they have lived fifty-two
years, and where mother Way has left
many friends and neighbors to mourn
her loss and remember her virtues.
She united with the NJ. E. Church in
the year ls41, where she lived a consist
ent member until her death. Her last
illness was protracted and painful; but
she bore it all with christian fortitude
and undoubtedly has now gone to reap
the reward of the Righteous.

| NASHVILLE, OHIol
May 2nd, 1871.
EDITORS REPUBLICAN: 1t may be tina
few words from this place concerning
our local interest may prove acceptabl,
to your columns, and be of some inter
est to your readers.
Nashville is generally quiet village,
but of late no little excitement is being
indulged in on account of the new rail-
way routes being surveyed, one of which
is to pass through Holmes county by
way of this place.
1t is to be a through route from Balti,
more to Chicago. The company pro-
posing the road is tbe Baltimore, Pitts
burg, Continental and Chicago. Every
one seems interested in the scheme.
On the eve of the 29th of April, a
meeting was held here in the NJ. E.
Church to discuss the benefits to be de-
rived from railroad.
The Loudonville Brass Band was
present, and many citizens of this and
surrounding neighborhood gave gen.
eral turn out and the house was filed.
Eli Glasco, Esq. was elected chair
man, and Louis Ererly, secretary.
The chairman stated the object of the
meeting and some of the benefits of 2
railway.
DIR. Ferrell of this place, H. D. Nc
Dowell and L. r. Hoagland of Millers-
burg, were called upon and each respon-
ded with fine address on the benefits
to be received from, and the facility of,
a railroad. 81 t ~
After which subscriptions were taken.
In all, over fifteen thousand dollars are
subscribed. Thirty thousand and the
right of way is what is asked. 1t is un-
derstood that a committee is soliciting
subscriptions for the remainder. Even
then we are not sure of a road. The
claims can be presented TO the company,
and they will choose for themselves.
There are vast quantities of mineral
here. Nashville, though it is an inland
town, no railway nearer than six miles,
is good business point, and business
men are working here. Monied men are
anxious to secure the road and they are
going to work diligently for it. 1t is
hoped that success may attend their eff
forts.
As for spring work about here, it is
fast. Farmers are all busy
soil for corn. Grain is -four
ishing. There will be but few peaches
and cherries, if any. Of other. fruit
there viii, at present Indications, be
some, but not plentiful.

Howe Sewing Machine is the best. The
answer is, simply because it does every
thing in the sewing line with such per-
feet satisfaction. Every one who has
used Howe Machine pronounces it the

self. No other machine has such unan-
imous testimony in its behalf. Every
