BoLEN GREEN, Sept. the Is, 1875. !
Mister EDDYrER :-Nfunny is getten
sltarse here. Briben voters and hircn men
to cum into the county to vote, costa like
the dickens, and the thing is about played.
Saturday evening committee went down
to Middleton township and offered 500
for one hunnred votes for Bowlen Green.
Sum Of EN- thought dollar a peace was
too cheap, but Rudolf said he wonst lived
down there and he knowed the price of
Middleton township votes, while Billy
Hood thought niniy-ninc cents was enuif l
could name the contractor, but that would
be tellin aud don't tell nothen you know.
They agreed to pay another feller his
price. He probably haint hered about
what good fcllcrs We be to PROMISE and
how easy we slip up on the performance.
The county has pade about thirty thous-
and dollars to learn thatlittl joke of Qurn,
and some OF the stupid fcllcrs haint learnt
ii yit.
Rod Lease is haven bad spell. Tray
ellen with slippery Charley haint done him
no good and he's cen most as sick now
as he was when he took that are sly nip
out of Jo. Nutrns little brown jug, and
you know his boy sed he was Good awful
sick" that time. Rod ant sich bad fcl-
lcr, nevertheless, and says the CRATE mistake
OF his life was in comen to this place. II
he gifts out wonst, you Incident talk to him
about villages away from any place. Rod
keeps tavern, but don't keep the kind uf
an open house which suites Bcvcrstock.
The feller that keeps our livvery stabcl
scs he's got Iour men to work for him
till after elcrkshun, and is just litcn mad
because some OF our conshienshus old Skin
Hints wont go into the voten business on IL
big skalo. lie ses il We folks OF Bowlcn
Green WAS all like him. the county scte
wouldn't muve much, and the pCepcl nigh
growl all they pleased about it. He be-
lievcs the ballot-box, like roslcd turkey,
is all the better for being we'll stuffed,
and he dontb,lieve into too many ingredi-
ii he had his way.
Bcverstock hurts us nmazenly by his
btoen. He haint no trends and he's allus
docn some fool thing to git us into trubbel.
lie got up story about the Pcrrysburg
Jalo, that 1t had been condemned by the
last grand jury what sot into Perry sburg.
lie told this 50 mutCh that he got to bclrv-
en- II hiSsclf, but no boldly else beleayed il.
Lust week ut the widder Foot's he got to
blOen this yarn 10 the dinner tabel and
puttcn on airs us uslIle when Mr.. West, of
Washington township, spoke up aud re-
marked that lie was onto that are Jury, and

and Mrs. Foot run for waiter to keen him
from fainten, but there want cnutf OF him
To ialnt, and tile waiter want suiled The
wldder Foot wants West to cum TO her house
often. Beverstock haint had no appetite
since Vests last visit, and 5omethen can
be made boarden on him. As general
thing, Bevcrstock can etc the full worth of
his mummy.
Day has started new prodgect whith h is
