Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1874-10-22
The noble Republicans of Fayette

in consee of the political whirlwind
that occurred in the State on the 18th;
they are eyer true to their principles, and
at the late election there is no cause to
complain of our Republican friends Ev-
cry Republican on our County ticket was
elected by a handsome majority, and the
result was decided improvement On the
election in this county, as far as the coun-
ty ticket is concerned, over that of last
year, and equally as good on the State
ticket, in proportion to the vote polled.
Everything considered, Fayette did nobly.
Our Democratic opponents have nothing
which warrants them in airing their pOul-
try in this county.
"A tramp stopped at the residence of
Jesse Hagler, in Jefferson township on
Friday morning, and begged his breakfast,
after eating which he stole fine silver
watch and came on to Washington,
where he offered to sell it at Furt-
wangler's for SO. The low price at which
he offered the watch excited suspicion,
and on examination, Joe Hudson found
that the watch oorrespended to the num-
Der of one sold to Jesse Hagler some time
ago. DIR. COffman saw the watch and rec
ognized it as Mr.. HIS. and the fellow was
held until Mr.. Hagler was sent for. He
identified his property and gave the ras-
cal repimand, after which he was allow
ed to go his way, being forlorn wreck of
humanity not worth the trouble of prose-
cutting.
- Our citizens feel truly grateful to the
managers Of the Railroad and the Firemen
of our neighbOring city of Circleyille for
the prompt manner in which they showed
themselves ready to respond to the call OF
our Mayor on them for assistance, when
we were threatened to be consumed by
the fire that took place here on Wednes-
day evening Of last week. Their steam
fire-engine and two hose carriages were
promptly put upon the train, and all was in
readiness to move, when a second dispatch
was sent them that the fire was under con-
troll and it was not nee sssary for them to
come. We know our citizens will ever
feel grateful for this evidence of prompt
ness and kindness on the part of our en-
terprising neighbors. ~
"A little son of Mr.. Alf Marks living
near Jasper Mills was terribly injured by
kick from horse last Saturday morn
ing. He stopped down at the animals
heels to pick up an ear of corn, when the
horse kicked him in the face, breaking in
above one of his eyes had to be taken out.
Some of his brains were also taken from
the wound He is still living, but it is un-
certain yet whether he can recover or not
= The Odd Fellows will rebuild their
burnt block Immediately, in about the
same style as before, or perhaps better.
They expect to have it enclosed by the
time winter sets in. Mr.. J. L. VanDeman
will also put up brick business room,
running back about fifty feet, on the
ground occupied by the Post-Office and DIR.
Fosters Office, the room to be occupied by
G. P. VanDeman & Co.'s grocery.
- The Post Office will be removed in a
day or two to the room in Willett's build
ing, on the corner of Court and Main sts.,
the room having been furnished rent free
to Mr.. Robinson by the business men OF
this part of town, on condition that he To-
cate the Office there. It is about the most
convenient location, for all parties inter-
ested, that could have been obtained.
The County ticket supported by the
Republicans in Old Ross county were cleo
ted over the regularly nominated Demo
cratic ticket. Mace, the crusader, is re-
elected Sheriff over Holloway, his anti-cru-
sado opponent. Floyd, Republicans elect
ed over Toney Alberti, the rattling Ger
man beer -guzzling Democratic nominee fol
Commissioner, and so on.
We will finish the publication of the
Laws of the last session of Congress in a
few weeks, when we will be able to give
our readers greater amount of miscella-
neous reading matter than we have been
for few months past. U. S. Laws consti-
tute very necessary branch ofliterature
but they are not the most popular kind O
light reading.
