PERSONAL.
Our mutual bachelor friend Cad, who
says his hair is prematurely gray, passed
thro ugh our village Thursday of last week,
play ing it alone, with long fishing pole, and
we supposed he was polling out for the "Pond,"
until we were informed that he was heading
for his old friend, Col. John Floyd, [Hawkeye)
in Lewis, VINO we know will be glad to see and
welcome him to his wigwam. As the "Pond"
has gone dry, Cad intends fishing in Buffalo.
Our intelligent and handsome friend and
young lawyer, G. S. Hill, of Column
bia. formerly of Kentucky, accompanied by
his friend, Mr.. Charley Cecil, paid our village
a visit last week, and spent several days
among their friends and relatives in this vi
cinity. We think it more than probable they
will come again soon. as both seem to be very
much impressed with the beauties and sur
of Mt. Pleasant, which has a not-a-

Mr.. Levi Gardner, OF Steubenvite, Ohio,
who has been stopping in our village for
week, left for his home few days ago. He
carried with him the two beautiful little daugh-
tiers, Blonde and Brunette, of his brother, Mr.

Col. G. w, Boyd, of the Wayne Furnace,
passed through our village on Sunday last,
drawn by his 2.28 team, after trip to the
Queen City in the interest of his iron works
and railroad to his Furnace. Col. Boyd is
one of the most public spirited men we ever
met, not only to his own, but to the interest of
the whole country. Success to you Colonel.
Our county would be blessed if we had few
such live men as the indomitable iron man of
Wayne Furnace. By-tbe-bye, the Colonel is
lover and admirer of fast stock, and proposes
to contribute literally to our fall Fair in mon
ey and fine especially fast trotters.
