The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1873-09-18
KANSAS CORRESPONDENCE.

As 1t Is long time since anything
has been seen in the columns Of the
TRIBUNE from our place, we have
concluded that the time would not be
unimproved in contributing few
"locsls." They may be Of interest to
somebody, and, will be evidence, at
least, that your correspondent has not
laid the quill aside forever, nor Kan
sas ceased to have name among the
villages Of Seneca.
How time flies Since last we
wrote summer has come and gone,
and although we cannot boast of as
rapid a growth the last six months as
our sister village, Bettsyilie, yet our
town still preserves the even tenor Of
its way, and is laying the foundation
for healthy prosperity, and green
old age.
The Touring mill that was projected
last spring by Messrs. Newhouse,
Kern & Co., will soon be completed,
which will not only add much to the
business interests of our place, but also
be convenience that has long been
needed i'm this vicinity.
Messrs. J. o. BoWlns and J. D. Har-
ley are erecting patent lime kiln at
an expense o! over two thousand dol
lars, which they expect TO have in
operation in few days.
Ben Martin sold his house and lot,
last week, to c. Brown for six hum
dred dollars.
Miss Kate HOuseman taught our
school this summer. She is a very
good teacher, and respected by all
who are acquainted with her.
A certain individual of this vicinity,
who loves to "moisten his clayp with
the liquid that triekles away from the
stills, was sued, last week, before a
magistrate by a saloon keeper, for
sundries, which the defendant says
is new name for whisky. And he
further says that he cannot account
for the name, unless when he called
for whisky the bar-keeper has dished
out to him a compound of water,
alcohol, henbane, hydrocyanic acid,
or something else, and SO calls it |
"suRdries." He says If he had been
sued for sundry or Sunday drinks he
would not have felt so bad about It, as
it might have reflected some little
credit on his drinking capacity. but to
be sued for sundries, in such case, is
too bad, and should not be tolerated,
as it reflects so badly on the quality OF
the drink and character Of the saloon
keeper. We presume, however, that
a Liberty township Justice will adjust
the case satisfactorily, and prove to
all interested which is the greater fool,
the man who drinks "sundries" and
don't pay for it, or the man who sells
and sues for pay.
Since the convention, last Saturday,
many of the Republicans of this
township have expressed themselves
well pleased with the county ticket.
And notwithstanding Norton is ask
Ing for suffrage, and offering to bet
five hundred dollars on his own eIec-
ton, many Democrats in our vicinity,d
"who have always been Democracs''
say they cannot support him. Nor
ton is very sympathetic, however,
with his patients, at present, telling
them them that he will be elected,
there is no doubt of il, but that before
he goes to Columbus, to make laws,
he viii get good physician to take
his place. Some of them, no doubt,
would be glad if he never had done
else but frame laws, and
others would be pleased to have the
good physician now. But Is he not
and very kind Z? And we
wonder if he ever attended medical
If he has received . diploma
from any medical college, and we also
wonder If he has not been practicing
for the last six or eight years
in open violation OF law. Yet he is
the Democratic candidate for Repre-
of Seneca county; the am
bilious young man, thirty-two years
Did, who has no faults and nothing to
him, except that he is
young man; was born DemOcratand
las been a Democrat ever since.
