OUR TOWN.
OrrviIle is n town OF some loo inhabi
tants, derived from all nations, and in re-
ligion of all beliefs, from the man Of nc
faith to the man OF faith in the cut Of his
coat and the breadth of his hat rim. II
it beautifully situated In the highly i'm
proved portion OF the county OF Wayne
IL miles east. OF Wooster, which is the
county seat. II is bfimful OF go.Aheada
tiveness, and Notwithstanding the press

usual degree the season, Improvements
are still actively pushed ahead.
s,. ITS LOCATION
is at the junction OF the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne & Chicago. and Cleveland & Mt
Vernon Railroads. Here is also the pro

Railroad, when built. This proposed
road will be the means Of 'more'intimate
business relations between your city and
Cleveland.
POLITICALLY,
our town, like all Ohio, is very Hays-ey

AssAsslSATED.
On the Goth, at this station two men
got into box car OF freight train to
steal ride, and found. third party
already in the car. Some words passed
when the third party drew a revolver
and shot one Of the newintrhders through
the head, the ball.ranging from littleir
front OF the left ear, In the. direction o.
the right temple. The bullet is still Ii
the mans head and he also yet lives al.

arrested and there is considerable mystery
about the whole affair.
