TIE Bellaire Public Square case" will
come up in the Supreme Court at Colum-
bus, for final hearing, in few days. This
is the case in which the original owners OF
the land on which Bellaire is situated seek
10 recover possession OF the public square
in that city. The case has been tried in
the Common Pleas and District Courts OF
Belmont county, in both OF which the de-
cision was in favor OF the city.
BEFORE Bellaire is made the County Seat
Of Belmont the following complaint from
the Independent must be attended to:
1--WE feel certain there is not another
city in the United States with q population
OF nearly 5000 that has It's main thorough
fares and principal street crossings in such
wretched condition as the city OF Bell
aire."
Here are two other items from the In
dtpgdent that will be read with interest:
belmont county has greater number
OF dogs than any other county in the State
This Is not desirable distinction. Most
ofthem are worthless ours. and they ought
10 be exterminated speedily. Bellaire has
ut least one thousand more than is need
ed"
More slips on the B. & S. w. road.
Trains are not now run regularly, and
there is no telling when they will be:
The work OF clearing out the slips still
goes on, and II 1t quits raining the road
may be again got in condition for travel
this winter.
TIE following items are from the st.
Clairsyille Chronicle:
DR.. John Cook and Ross Alexander Of
Bridgeport, spent Thanksgiving with B. Q:
Humphrey at east end OF town. Quail and
rabbits were the principal attractions.
They bagged several.
The coupons from the bonds OF the Mar
row Gauge were due December LIST. "Will
they be paid?" We have been asked
that question several times, but as yet can
not answer positively, although We pre-
sumo tley VIII.
We are Informed that the burden OF the
loss sustained by the failure OF the Bank
ing House OF Cowen, Sheets & Co., will
fall on the countrypeople around Bellaire.
Farmers regard corn worth more out OF
the hog than in it, consequently they are
getting their swine oil their hands as rap
idly as possible, either by butchering or
marketing.
In regard to the squabble going on over
the Bellaire Pos.otficc, we find the follow
ing item in letter from that town to the
GAINESVILLE Eattrpas::
"The subject that is now agitating the
pnblic mind is tho Postoilice. II seems
that the time OF the present incumbent ex-
pires sometime during this month. Petit
tons in the interests OF several parties are
in circulation. II was understood that
Mrs. Birlsong said she would not
have it again, which explains the
other applications We believe the only
objection to her is her failure to provide
accommodations commensurate with, the
increase in our population. This is really
M outrage. Many ladies' are compelled
10 go to the office for mail and they
should be provided with q seprate en-
trance. This is done in all places OF any
size. Mrs. Birlsong has managed the
office here for over ten years with salts
faction to all, and 10 she can assure the
people OF her willingness to increase the
Accommodations, we think she will have
notrouble in retaining the office.
