This Grange has started with excel
lent material and viii nc doubt, re-
eeive additions equally as good We
conclude that if there is anything

] W Mills, Esq. and his son, W A
Mills, after having had a very busy
seasons work, started on New Year's

friends in Central New York and will

There is some talk Of trying to col
/ lect the Township bonds il the sub
scriptions for Railroad do not come
in faster. About $, 500 are still lack
ing. People act q little as though
they were paying doctors bill or pay
ing for dead horse, when anything
issaid about subscribing for railroad
already built. A side track was put in
last week, half mile west Of town for
the accommodation Of the Company
in passing trains.
The trains stop regularly on the de-
pot grounds but have made no pro-
visions for the cOmmodatiOn of the
public. When the 5000 is secured
they promise to make everything
lovely.
People from this end Of the county
can not go to TIffin and return the
same day as the trains now run. A
change is promised soon.
About $50 people wentto the depot

coal oil 1t was hauled to Heming-
ways store by Gust Finch, who thus
becomes our pioneer drayman. The
fare between here and Tffin is the old
rate, . cents.
In our brief editorial career we have
already experienced some OF those
pleasant incidents which appear to
make editors feel good all over, especi-
ally about the stomach. AS We are
not exempt from those little weak
nesses, common to the fraternity, we
take pleasure in acknowledging that
on New Years morning, Mr. Harry
w Van Fleet opened his generous
heart, or perhaps more literally
speaking, his well stocked poultry
yard, and deposited fine turkey at our
door. Thanks.
We are also under obligations to
Mrs Sprague for 3 very large fresh
orange, sent direct from Florida by
Mr. and Mrs z b Brown, who spent
last summer in this place,
