FROM MILTON.
H. w. Shuman has again become
citizen Of Milton and is engaged in
coopering.
A. c. Claypool, president of the
Milton Paper Mill Firm. is here much
of the time looking after the interests
of the concern. The employees think
him great institution on pay day.
Booth & Bro. are still under the
parental roof. They seem to be en-
joying themselves finely this winter.
While others complain of scarcity
and hard times they look hearty and
cheerful.
d J. Car & Bro. have suspended oper-
ations in the Hydraulic FIGURING
Mills, for the present, to make repairs.
This is one of the most fourishing
mills in the country, and has for
Year, past been furnishing the citi-
zens of Cambridge, Dublin, German
town, Milton and surrounding parts
with the finest family -four, meal, ETC.,
besidesj shipping large quantities to
Cincinnati. 1D23 1asass5st
The N. e. Church, with Rev. Jesse
Miller. pastor; the Christian Church,
Rev. Seth Bennett, pastor, and the
Church of God, Rev. VIM. Booth,
have been holding protracted efforts
this winter. to awaken a more general
and a higher order Of interest in re-
ffgious matters among our people
The congregations have mostly been
large and attentive, with however but
few scoessions; still. it is hoped, that
the good fruits of these repeated eff
forts. will yet be seen and felt many
days hence. The spirit of Christian
unity now manifested by the different
denominations Of this place is truly
commendable.
Fox drives are all the rage now in this
community. Two took place last week
resulting in the capture of three live
foxes, and the escape of dozen more.
Two more are arranged for this week,
the results of which are yet to be seen.
The cunning of the fox is proyerbial.
and it is said that they now under
stand these drives SO well, that when
they hear the sound Of horn, bell,
or yell, they run toward instead Of
from it, and escape before the closing
lines get compact. rs - a
During the freeze . company of five
of our fishing sports captured with
their. gigs 118 pounds of bass, in one
day. Jack Brown says he saw bass
that weighed 80 pounds run along, and
that he made dive at it with his gig,
but missed. Query: how did Jack
know that it weighed just 80 pounds,
and how did he happen to miss such
a big fish, he being an expert giger?
The Grange movement is spread ling
in this vicinity. We now have a
lodge at the school house east, one at
another southeast, and this week an
other one has been formed at Thorn
burg's school house on the west, hence
the town is nearly surrounded with
these clubs. Some of the members
are highly elated with the prospect,
and quite zealous,in their devotion to
the cause. One says the removal Of
| the county seat is . question of minor
importance, as they expect to settle
all disputes without Judge, court, jury
or lawyers. That's good. Anothe,
one out east, on seeing a sewing ma.
chine agent approaching, with hi.
sign painted on his wagon cover, col
lected his family together and began
furious speech about the meanness O
middle men, especially referring to the
approaching sewing machine peddler
J but was suddenly interrupted ane
thrown into confusion by his wife ant
daughter exclaiming, that unless h,
bought q sewing machine they intend
. ed to quit sewing, as their thumb
and fingers we're about worn out. Tn
: result was that when the agent stop
, ped the granger could no where b
found.
John G. Warren has made arrange
|, ments to open new meat and pro
duce store, on Main street, about tn
r first of February. His experience a
t a butcher, and his known skill in cut
ting steaks, roasts, etc., will soon dra,
custom. BY the by, he visited you
: city one day last week, going over o
J. the morning train, saying he intende
to return on the Eve o'clock evenin
!. train but failed to do so. On bein
!. asked the cause of his failure, he say
e that he in company with one of you
8 citizens went to look at some cattle at
! certain place, and while enjoying th
sight the cars left. Further inquil
d has disclosed this much, that SON
y time during that night he was shippe
: home on a freight, as cattle drive
t which looks a little as though
i, might have been detained looking
IS cattle, but more knowing ones shall
: their heads and say they must ask tn
: citizen who accompanied him, abo'
y the affair. How is it, John NJ? v
