An Old 5ettler.-On Friday morning
last, we had a call from Mr.. Reuben Rice, of
ElmOre, who has resided on the banks of tho
Portage for nearly fifty years. He is now in
his seventy-ifth year, quite hearty and active.
When boy of Is years, he accompanied his
parents from New York 10 Ohio. Landing
near the Whitaker place, on the river below
this city, in 1871, they crossed the country to
Delaware, and 9hence to Springfield. From
there Reuben went to Columbus, and served
an apprenticeship in tho Office of the State
journal. After his marriage, he concluded to
move to this country, and in the winter Of
1923 reached Fremont again, and leaving
portion of his goods here, pushed on for the
Portage. The country was new and swampy
and owing to a rain that had set in, it took
five days to reach his destination, a distance
of fifteen miles Some time after he returned
here for his goods, which were loaded on
boat and Aoated down the river to point
where boat and all could be hauled across to
the Little Portage and thence 1oated into the
Portage. This trip took II days. In 1929,
when the first numbers of what is now the
Fremont Journal were issued by Mr. Smith,
Mr. Rice assisted him in his labor. The Office

a Remarkable Escape.

A little daughter of Marshal Weber, aged
Is months, residing near the railroad track,
had narrow escape from frightful death on
Thursday last. The little one had by some
means got outside of tho yard and was stand
ing on the track when tine morning mail from
Sandusky came laundering along. The en-
gineer saw the child, shut off the steam and
applied the brake to his engine, but was una
bic to stop the train entirely until the pilot Of
the engine struck the child and threw 1t from
the track The conductor, Mr.. Brannon, who
picked it up, expected TO find her dead, but
was much relieved when be learned, through
examinations made by DR.. Roger, that the
injuries Were very slight t---Cdrey Tunes.

more are turning their eyes towards new homes in

How to Learn.

Never forget what a man has said
to you when he is angry. If he has
charged you with anything, you had
better look it up. A person has
often been startled from pleasant
dream OF self-deception by the
words of an angry man, who may
wish his words unsaid the next hour,
but they are past recall. The wise
est course is to take home this les
son with meekness to our souls. 1t
was saying of Socrates that every
man had need of a faithful friend
and bitter enemy; the one to ad-
wise, and the other to show him his
fault.

The Imperial WasheI.-On Monday
last, Mr.. A. Odell, the patentee of new and
improved washing machine, called the Imper-
ial, gave an exhibition of its performance at
the Kessler House, which was highly satisfac-
tory. Washor-women do not take kindly 10
washing machines, but we noticed that they
were very much interested in this one, declaT-
ing it the best they had ever seen, possibly
because it does its work somewhat after the
old-fashiOned way. At first glance it would
almost be taken for a wringer, as it fits on an
ordinary tub and turns with a crank. There
is a cylinder with grooves, and underneath
four small rollers. The clothing to be washed
is folded up to fit between the cylinder and
rollers; it is then put in the hot suds which the
tub contains and the end placed under the
cylinder, the crank turned and the clothing
passes through 10 the suds on the other side.
The movement of the crank is then reversed,
and the clothing runs back aad forward until
cleansed, when it is passed through wringer
into the rinsing water. The entire washing
of the hotel, which was very large, was done
in G5 minutes, and declared by the washer
woman to be as well done as if done by hand.
1t is certainly fine machine, and worthy a
place among the household pets. See adver-
tisement in another column.

The Man who Stops his Paper


The Man who Stops his Paper
Philip Gilbert Hamilton in his admirable pa
pers on the "Intellectual Life" thus talks to
the man who stopped his paper:
Newspapers are to the whole civilized world
what tho daily house-talk is to the members of
household; they keep up our daily interest
in each other, they save US from the evils of
isolation. To live es a member of the great
white race of men, the race that has filled
Europe and America and colonized or con-
quered whatever other territory it has been
pleased to occupy, to share from day to day
its cares, its thoughts, its aspirations, it is
necessary that every man should read his
daily newspaper. Why are the French peas
ants so beWildered and at sea; 50 out of place
in the modern Worldp It's because they never
read a newspaper. And why are the inhabit-
ants OF the United States, though scattered
over a territory fourteen times the area Of
France, so much more capable of concerted
political action; 30 much more interested IN
new discoveries of all kinds. and capable OF
selecting and untilizing the best of them2-
It is because the newspapers penetrate every
where; and even the lonely dweller on the
prairie or in the forest is not Intellectually iso
lated from the great currents of public life,
which flows through the telegraph and press"

Every citizen of Toledo will to-day admit
that park grounds should have been purchased
five years ago; and all coneede that the failure
to purchase them was biunder for which the
city will pay dearly. Should the city fail now
TO purchase grounds for park purposes, five
years hence the authorities of to-day will be
adiudged to have been exceedingly blind to
tn best interests of Toledo Blade.
The same rule will apply here. Buy now.

A Public Spirited Citizen.

Two years ago, Mr.. Sardis Orchard, gave
the city of Fremont Ohio, fourteen acres of
land, worth S20, 900, to be used as a city park.
On Monday evening he added to this sum
$50, 900 for the purpose of founding public
library, museum and art gallery, for the use
and benefit of the citizens of that city and
Sandusky county He has also arranged for
the final disposition of his elegant collection
of paintings and articles of UeTtE, to go into
the public art gallery. The city proposes to
purchase the site of Ft. Stephenson for the
library buildings. This will make an elegant
situation, as it comprises about two acres right
in the heart of the city, having fine trees and
shrubbery, and is offered to the city for $751;
600. Fremont can well afford TO be proud Of
such citizen. These noble acts richly crown
Mr.. Orchards forty-six years residence
among the people he has so richly blessed
Akron Beacon.
Were the citizens of Akron blest by such
a noble donation, as that made by our worthy
citizen, Mr. Birchard, we do not believe they
would allow much time to elapss before they
would respond promptly for the purchase of
SO desirable a spot as Ft. Stephenson, if they
had such in their midst. But they have not.
Few cities have, and no time should be lost in
securing 1t to "us and our children forever"

The Park.-The meeting of Council, on

consequently no action was taken in regard to
the purchase of the Ft. Stephenson property

day night was had, at which time we think
the matter will be definitely decided in favor
of making the purchase, at least it ought to
be. If tie property is ever to belong to the
city, there is no better time than now to make
the purchase Let all those in favor of the
purchase, urge upon Councilman the import
ance of making it at once.

They ars larger, and are put up in pickel,
