Merritt Tappan has sold his place to Joe
Holiday, and is going to Nebraska.
Amos Hall appeared upon the streets last
week looking as though he had been having a
set-to with tirst-class bruiser and came Of a
good ways behind. While engaged in hauling
apples, hls side-boards broke and he fell from
his wagon, striking upon his forehead, and the
effects all settled in and around his eyes.
The Buckeye Base Ball Club from here had a
game with the Lawtons last Saturday afternoon
at Lawfon. Score, % to IL in favor of Lawton.
A return game will be played a week from next
Saturday on the grounds Of the Buckeyes.
John Thompson, who was severely kicked by
horse few days ago, and not expected to
live, is again up and around.
A span OF horses belonging to Geo. Irwin ran
away with load of hay last Saturday, and after
breaking through two fences were stopped by a
, third. Irwin was climbing upon the load and
stood upon the wagon tongue with the lines in
his left hand and his right around the standard
of the wagon rack when they lit out. The wagon
struck an old we'll curb and Irwin was thrown
about rod, free and clear from everything
No damage.
The farmers around here feel pretty well sold
on their apple crop, although few who deliv-
cred their apples early have come out all right
4 but the rest are in limbo. Mr.. A. Mitchell, O.
Lawton, has been buying for Henning, OF Ann
Arbor, and after getting lot OF apples on hand
their money run cut, and now Mitchell says G
does not know what it means. 1t serves us JUS,
right and we HOP that apple raisers will learn
lesson and not haul their apples to market IL
an open wagon box to be cued and tumbled
about, and peck more than barrel will hold
piled upon each barrel and then taken off be-
fore packing. Henning and his agents will stand
a poor show in the future, especially in this
section.
The greenbackers are filing up the time pref
ty lively giving two speeches per week. Elder
Rice, the temperance lecturer, gave greenbacE
speech at the town hall on Tuesday night OF
last week. and on last Saturday night Dyckmau
entertained small gathering at the center
school house. There we're eight or ten green
hackers present, the balance were republicans
democrats, women and children. He advanced
some entirely new Ito us) ideas. The way he
proposed to redeem the coming y greenback
was: every time they exchanged hands they
were redeemed. He proposes that the govern
ment build railway from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi, and mere nominal sum, q sort Of
toll, be charged, just enough to pay running
expenses. their government is to loan money
! to states, the states to counties, and the coun-
ties to those who desire to borrow, ct the rate
Of four per cent and if greenbacks depreciat,
just demonetize gold and silver. He "wen
through" Beecher, Burrows, Eldred, and ths
balance OF his speech was suppositions. Aftel
Dyckman closed, Henry Lewis delighted TIT
audience with one Of his Z" walk the floor spouts'
which amounted to about four cphers in row
thus, 5000. After Lewis came Gibson with
few remarks, and the meeting adjourned To-
three days.
