"Thev (the old Court House ani Jail) wen e
gobbled bv Perrysburg and the county had to
raise S23 600 by taxation 10 make up the mon
ey."-- SeSimci.
True the county had to raise s23,000 by
taxation hut for the reason that b. G.. did
not fulfill its promise. That the old build
ings were gobbled by Perrysburg is wholly
untrue. The commissioners sold the Jail
at public auction and it was purchased By
PETER WrrzLER, he being the highest and
best bidder therefor, and the proceeds OF
the sale placed in the county treasury.
The Court House was bought from prva:e
parties by the 1otcnship of Perrysburg for
Town Hall and paid for.
We would advise our neighbor to adhear
little nearer to tho truth-to be convicted
of willful and deliberate mendacity must
make one feel little awkward.

The light Of faces tender
Doth the lonely hours beguiie.
Yes, and when the heart is weary,
And filled with crushing pain,
"'Tis sweet TO be remembered"
And then forgot again.
Remembrance Oft is pleasant.
Yet how deep the heavy sigh,
Those memories of the lost ones
Fled in the long gone by.
In our heorts they still are living
In death they sweeily sleep,
Is II sweet n know the SORROWS
