Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1878-04-25

- District Court for this county COM
menced on Monday, and was in session
up to yesterday evening-Judges Court
right, Bingham and Cowen ON the bench.
The docket was the largest for many
years, there being twenty-five cases, for
hearing.
We understand that Rev. Jos. Nor
ris is wrOngfuIly charged with being the
author of an article in last weeks HER-
AID. He was at the council meeting re-
ferred to in the communication, as we
learn. Well, that's what a man gets some
times by being in bad company.
= With the rapid increase of our pop
ulatiOn and business. new demands are
presented for additional branches of the
trades. Among others we learn that a
firsT-class Laundry is TO be established in
our town in a few days, and John China
man will have an opportunity of practic-
ing his profession to the best of his kill.
- The County Examiners wish us to
state, that they desire that all candidates
! for two years certificates, bring with
them to the examination the special text
book that they have used in the study of
any branch, on which they wish to be
examined. They viii expect applicants
to be well acquainted with the text they
may submit.
= The Ely Light Guards are making
the necessary arrangements to give a
Grand Military and Civic Ball, at Music
Hall, on the 10th of May. This will be
/ Il, 81. hrvf fIo
company, and the reputation they sustain
at home and abroad for getting up the
most stylish affairs of this kind, is enough
to convince all that nothing will be left
undone to make the occasion pleasant
success. The floor will be covered with
linen duck, and the best of music secured
Persons holding certificates as con-
tributing members of the Ely Light
Guards, of this place, can have them re.
newed by applying to the officers of the
company. And any gentleman in the
county who wishes to be exempt from
jury duty and road-wOrk, can be accom-
modated by procuring IA certificate. This
is State law for the benefit of the State
militia, and the fee of mem bership il
small. A number of our citizens who hold
certificates would not be without then
for several times their cost.
= We do not learn that any effort is be
ing made to have County Agriculture
Fairs in this county. We had hoped tina
Fayette would not be behind other coun
ties to show what she can do in the wa!
of producing crops and stock. In time
past, no county in the State could make
better show of cattle and hogs, at Count!
Fairs, than Fayette, and none could nov
do better in this respect than ours, if w,
should make the effort. We have tn
stock; we have the agricultural produc
tions, and all that is necessary to show
in competition with any of our neighbors
Why do our farmers and business mel
neglect to make the necessary arrange
ments to revive our County Fairs, tina
used to afford the people such pleasant
annual reunions?
= II. Glicksman has removed his ell
tire stock of goods from No. 4 VanDe
mans Block to Room No. l in DAME
McLean's building, opposite Court House
(the room lately occupied by John We

ment of goods than he was able to keep
