COLERIN LOCALS.

The rose-colOred fruit report that |
made needs some modifying. Apple
trees that were covered with bloom
have set no fruit, the are but few va
rieties that have any fruit on. Pears
have set a medium crop, but they are
much affected with black spots On the
fruit; Plumbs have an abundance of
young fruit but the curculio has stung
them badly; Ounces, Currants and
Raspberries are loaded with fruit
The Colorado 'arIny of occupation"
took possession of the potatoes. Those
that gave them battle and determined
to win are masters of the field. We
have some pretty fair looking potatoes.
J. Denham planted fifty-one bushels OF
seed potatoes, and is going to Eight it
out on this line, if it takes all sum-
mer." A large number of farmers
used corn for seed that had stood in
the shock through the winter, they
had their corn to replant.
Farmers have been busy shearing
sheep during the past week; the clip
is very light and it has cost more to
produce it than they will realize from
it, one farmer turned 25 head of stock
sheep into a meadow containing two
stacks of hay; by the first Of March
they had consumed about five tons of
hay, worth $25 per ton, or S125; for
this he will receive about 112 pounds
of wool; another farmer lost ] 40 during
the winter and the balance were only
valued at Is cents and 81 per head.
Hardware dealers are reminded that
some sickles will be needed the coming
harvest.
The concert at Pennington was a
financial success; the brass band failed
to put in an appearance.
l regret TO state that Capt. James
Henderson is lying at the point OF
death, from inflammation of the stom-
ach; he has had the almost constant at
tention of Drs. Updegraff, Comely and
Coleman, for the last five days; at this
date, Tuesday morning, there is no
improvement and little hope OF recov.
cry.
In my correspondence I have en-.
deavored TO avoid all language that
would offend the modest or wrong the
honest. ! hope an indulgent public
will extend the mantle of charity ovel
the faults of the man that asSailed US
last week. Allow him the full benefit
of the poets language when he says:
"Immodest words admit but this defense,
The want OF deeency is want OF sense"

The Board examined vouchers for
orders drawn upon the Building,
Bridge and County Funds since March
session and found that all such orders
were properly Issued.
In the matter of the pike bonds due
and unpaid-on the ST. Clairsville and
Warnccks and the Barnesville and
Somerton Roads, the Board decided
that there was no money that could be
used for their payment, and no plan
that could be devised at this time for
their redemption.
The Board visited the Infirmary on
Thursday, and found everything in
satisfactory condition except the Jail.
This is considered dangerous to health
and unfit to keep any one in. The
Board order that Jail be removed and
rebuilt outside the wall east of main
building. ...,a

''Tract No. 16, May 1S73," of the
Western Reserve and Northern Ohio
Historical Society, includes paper
from the President of the Society, Col.
Chas. Whittlesey, in which he shows
pretty conclusively that the generally
received opinion as to the date when
Ohio began its existence as State is an
error. The first State Constitution was
made to take effect without being SUBJ
mitted 90 the people, and it is therefore
PRESUMED generally that the date of its
adoption fixes the time of the birth of
the State-Novelhber 29th, 1902 Col.
Whittlesey shows however, that Con-
gress did not approve the State Censti-
tuition and recognize the State until ear
ly in the next year; and that the State
Government was not surrendered to
Governor Tiffin-the first Governor
elect under the Constitution-till March
Sd, 1903. This last is therefore the date
of the beginning of the existence of the
State.-CoIumbus Journal.

WOODS HOUSEHOLD Mag ZINE
The June number is just the book for
the family circle! Just the dear old
HOUSEHOLD magazine we used to greet
SO gladly. The articles are not so
heavy; there are more stories; not
trashy, sensational compositions, but
such as bear throughout Il strong influ-
encc for all that is good, and pure, and
true. y noticeable feature is that there
is something helpful, encouraging,
comforting upon almost every page. A
bright face like this is needed in every
household. The children's department
is fully up to its standard, and printed
in much better type. AS to makeup
of magazine, we notice a great improve
ment. y Temperance story is announ-
ced hereafter, for every number. III.

In the course of Il spicy article an
swering the question, ''Are advertise

says: ''If any man affects to believe
that advertisements are not read, let
him advertise that he Sants to buy a
dog, for instance. If he is not furnish

sage that morning before breakfast, and
besides with one or two sound grounds
for suits against him for assault, we

to infer that ally man who wants to

MOVING.

There has been considerable agita-
tion over moving the Conyentioa.-
Cincinnati wants the venerables to go
down there. The principal induce
ments are cheap beer, fried bacon ard
the Race street varieties, and possibly
the cholera, and see the sweet does
that eminate from the Deer Creek
valley. The Convention won't go
there. Cleveland wants the Conven-
tion to go north and have the MEM
bers' heated brows famed by the cool
Lake zephyrs, whilst they set on the
old Constitution and hatch out another.
But there is not much danger of the
Convention moving. The northern
members won't go South, and the
Southern members won't go North,
and the central Ohio fellows want to
stay here, and here they will STAY and
swelter through the red-hot summer.
The members are getting on their
busters and making arrangements to
keep cool. A stranger looking down
on the solemn and dignified old assem-
blage from the galleries, and viewing
the array of summer "duds," would
be tempted to imagine the Convention
a congregation of Millerites, assembled
with their ascension robes on, waiting
for the last trump to summon them
hence. Iguess will stop.
