Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1871-11-23

Our Bloomingburg correspondent asks
how farmers column would do in the
HERALD. Our opinion is that it would be
a first-rate idea, and we are ready and
would be pleased to give column or so of
the HERALD to that object. We have
good many intelligent farmer in our county,
and there ought to be an association in the
county for the purpose of holding meetings
at short intervals at some convenient place
or places and consulting together upon sub
jects and matters of information and in
terest to the agriculturists and stock grow
ers of our county. Men who have prae-
teal knowledge, or men who know more
than ourselves or Horace Greeley, either
about farming, are the men to give interest
ing items upon these subjects. Whatever
we can do through the columns of the
HERALD will be done to impart any knOEl-
ton of this kind may furnish for that pur-
pose.
A mare belonging to John L. Wilson
was standing on the railroad track near the
L
of Court street last Friday night, when
train came a1ong and struck her, lodging
her on the cow-catcher and carrying her al
most across the bridge, when she fell off
into the creek--A big hole was cut in her
flank k-where the engine struck her, but,
strange to say, no bones were broken, and
she will probably get well, though she will
never be worth much again. She was q
valuable animal.
If you have lost anything which you
wish to recover, let it be known through
the columns of the Herald, and you will be
very apt to find it Fayette County Her
aid.
Suppose a fellow has lost his character,
how then, gentlemen? Would an adver-
| tisement in the Herald find it for him?-
| Independent Press.
A lost character is a very hard thing to
find-or at least hard to recover. But we
can promise any fellow who has been SO
unfortunate as to lose an article of that
kind that an advertisement in the HERALD
will search around good deal for it.
Charges moderate.
George Bell, of Marshall township, nine
ty-twO years of age, came to Hills lsborough
