RAILROAD MEETING.

The railroad meeting advertised fol
last Friday was we'll attended by oul
citizens, who went prepared to hear and
determine for themselves the feasibility
of The project. The speakers were atten.
lively listened to and their remarks diff
ferently commented upon. After the
speeches were over the following resolu.
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That We are in hearty sym.
patty with the efforts of the St. Louis,
Fl. Scott, and Western r. r. Company
to construct a railroad through our coun-
ty and that when the said company sees
fit to submit specific propositions the
people of this part of Allen county will
not be found wanting in their assistance
to any honest and fair efforts to accom-.
plish that purpose.
The above resolution expresses in few
words the feeling of this community.
In our opinion an east and west road
through this county is only question of
time. The railroad company will be
met half way-and no further.
We will be better prepared to speak
further of this matter when a definite
is submitted.

OUR CORNER, Usage TOWNSHIP

OUR CORNER, Usage TOWNSHIP
We have been asked great many
times how'we live away out here in the
corner Of the COUNTY, away from rail-
roads, toyns and markets. Well, we
live about the same as all other people
having the modern conveniences. We
have ideas and tastes of our own, in uni
son with our feelings and surroundings.
Like the rest of the world, We. try to
abide by the golden rule" when it
don't interfere too much with our own
interests. Our newspapers, We read, if
we happen to have one; if not. perhaps
our neighbor has generous heart, and
maybe will loan US one. We 60 to
church when there is any, and some
times, on Sunday, go to see our girl and
five don't happen to have one, we 60 to see
some other "feller's." Well, you know
ga little nonsense now and then, is rel
ished by the best of men,"
Our farmers are pushing their spring
work with great energy. About all have
sown their oats that intend sowing at all.
Some have marked out" their ground
for early planting.
Two of our enterprising neighbor boys
"A. F. Charles and J. E. Stanley-have
bought the old Bartlett rancho on the
south fork of Deer Greek, twelve miles
northeast of lola, and intend herding a
large number of cattle for the different
stock men in this locality.
The prospect for peaches is only toler-
ably fattering. II depends upon the
location of the orchard. In some of the
orchards, the fruit is about all killed.
We are not affected with q very high
political fever just now. 1t seemed to
cool down about the 4th of March, and
we can readily stand the pressure with
our coat on now. Yours, truly,
DOB.
