cue, ~ meetings 70 be held Tor that purN
pose, to come to the regatta.
Slippery Charley and Ron LEASE
made atrip through Weston township a
few days ago. We have only heard of six
| 70 PerrYsburg as the result OF that visit
PerrysburR could we'll afford to keep that
pair Of birds on the wing unsil after cleo
| ton.
1T is said that the Bowling Green lob
byists--those who know Just what 1t cost to
have GRoHAN in Cincinnati when the vote
was taken on the enabling act-threw up
their hats and cheered Justify at the re-
nomination OF the author of the Geghan
Law. Ever BoUeHToN smiled Joyous
smile.
Contractors who build bridges, abut-
ments, and take contracts for ditching, will
find il to their advantage to consult our
advertising columns. The sale of bitches
Nos. 46 and %, known as Toussaint creek,
is of special interest to land owners in
Webster, Troy, Plain and Center town
ships.
The exposure of the purpose Of Bow
ling Green to obtain $4,000 for repairing
the rickety court house at that place, and
OF their purpose to collect from the county
what they subscribed towards building the
court house and jnil, has thrown the Ring
into confusion. They thought their tracks
were not discovered.
We have it from county oficer-one
we'll posted on this subject-that the court
house At Bowling Green will require at
least an expenditure of $4,000 in repairs,
within n short time, IL the county seat re-
mains at Bowling Green. Our informant
is man whose word the people Of the
county would take in preference to all the
statements possible for the Ring to make.
The Bowling Green NeEs is terribly
Distressed because the people of the coun-
ty propose to vote for their own interests,
rather than sacrifse their convenience
and interests 20 accommodate Bowling
Green. That is characteristic modcsty.
First pick the pockets of u man and then
ask him to buy your dinner.
1t is the boast Of the citizens Of Bowl
Ing Green that, in the event of a favorable
vote for them on the removal question, the
village of Portage will be wiped ont.
They say that q village cannot exist 80
near the county seat and three miles from
railroad. OF course they do not talk
thus in Portage, but in other parts Of the
county they spit II out" freely.
Our Bowling Green friends are still
in great distress about the infrmary farm.
They evidently think IL will be moved, on
a wheel barrow, along with the county rec
ords. If there is anything which casts
shadow across their prospects of future
happiness, it is their dread of the solid
walls OF our Jail aud the thought that the
removal OF the county seat may land them
in the poor house.
The Bowling Green Nnrs, which is
controlled by DIR. MANvILLE, a Democrat
and SLIPPERY CHARLEY, who, the last we
heard of him politically, was wanting to
support either himself or ASHLEY for
Congress, is making vigorous efforts to Gre
ate the impression that DR.. SAGE will not
receive the Republican vote of the county.
Perhaps they think this stab at the Doctor
will heip their county seat prospect. We
shall see.
The Lawn Party given by the Ladies'
Centennial Society of the Presbyterian
Church, in the commodious and handsome
grounds of Major II. p. AvERILI., on Tues
day evening, was novel and interesting.
The grounds were lighted with large
number Of lanterns suspended from fruit
trees, the with Arion Cornet Band as the
sparkling jewel in the center The enter
tainmeht added little over $31 TO the
church improvement fund.
-SLIrPERY CHARLEY, who was Deputy
Sheriff and managed court matters at the
time when DAVE PHILLIPS was tried for
murder, undertakes to throw the response
bility for his conduct upon Ex-Sheriff
BRowNsBERoER. Although this trick il
In perfect keeping with the character OF
slippery Charley, it will not win. The
people of this county know the two men,
and they know the ono whose cunning runs
in the direction pointed out by US last
week.
Poor PETERS! How we pity him
Sold and delivered, and compelled to do
all the dirty work assigned him by his
purchasers. Every reader of his paper, is |
forced, whenever he looks at the Enterprise,
to reflect upon the weakness and wicked |
ness Of human nature. Every reader won
ders what the poor man got aS the price of |
his betrayal OF friends. And how must |
PETERS feel when he meets an honest man |
and knows that every one Is thinking and |
talking about his making merchandise of |
principles and selling the columns OF his |
paper To be turned against the interests Of |
his neighbors.
Some one of those Bowling Green law.
ysrs who want the county seat located at
the obrcure village of Bowling Green in
order that the people may be compelled to
submit 10 bO practised upon by them, has
that the officers of PcrryEburg |
townahip and corporation cannot deed the |
Court House and jail to the county until |
after election. They have got 90 in the
habit of promising everything after cleo
tion, Just a. they did at the former election,
that they think it would be illegal to do
anything before the vote is taken. Such |
legal wisdom sprouts in no locality ex-
cept from the yellow sand banks of Bowl |
ing Green.
Remember that the Swiss Bell Ring
ers will be at the Baptist church, Perrys-
burg, on Wednesday evening, Sept 18th
will PETERS deny that lie was in the !
market on the eounty seat question-that |
he voluntarily made a proposition to sup
port PerrysburE for the sum of one thous-
and doliars-that on this being declined |
