KINGsVILLE.


Eds. TeL-The cheated term" being
now fully settled down upon us-all are
putting themselves in as good shape As
possible to try and live it through. With
our churches, arrangements have been eff.
fected whereby Union Services are held on
our Park each Sabbath at $50 P. NJ.
One week ago yesterday, Rev Bickford
of the Presbyterian Church, furnished the
discourse and on yesterday, Rev. EdmOnds
of NJ E. Church, and next Sabbath Rev.
Dudley, of the Baptist Church, preaLhes.
A good attendance is secured and a devO-
tiOnal spirit characterizes the exercises,
as is hoped for much of good.
James A Fickinger, our County Sur
veyor, is probably at this time in Denver,
Colorado, having an appointment as as
sistant surveyor in the mining region.
His objective point is Leadville. The sur
veying Of mining claims will be his bust
ness, having before leaving here procured
a new set of instruments. He leaves his
business here in the hands Of S. Sill. of
your town, who has received the appoint
ment of deputy, thus making everything
all right. Mr.. J. B. Rice went with Mr.
FickingeT.
Lake Erie could not well be dispensed
with. It's cooling waters are in great de-
mand to cool the seething surfaces of our
citizens. The effect has been appreciated
this season, certainly.
Rev. Mr.. BickfOrd, of the Presbyterian
Church being absent, the place at his desk
was occupied by Mr. Edwin Dibbell. on
Sunday morning last. As usual he gave
US some substantial food to digest. Mr..
ID. supplies the Gospel every other Sab
bath at Sheffield, and very often at the In
Urinary. His efforts bear the evidence of
mature thought, which, with his plain un-
assuming manner, are effective.
Prof. g. G. Ransom, now of Grand River
Institute, will fill the desk of the Presby-
terian Church next Sabbath morning. Mr..
BickfOrd will be absent three Sabbaths.
and possibly Mr.. Ransom may be induced
TO occupy more than one Sabbath-as
stated. Mr.. BickfOrd will, during the pres
ent week, take to himself a wife-an
Oberlin lady. 1t is expected that 0berlin
ladies are predispOsed to make the best of
pastors wives. In returning, it is expect
ed that the party will take in Chautauqua.
As usual there will be good attendance
at that place from here.
Mr.. J. G. Case, the other evening got
badly hurt by being thrown from his bug.
gy. Between this and North Kingsville a
new culvert Is in progress, making it nee
essaFy to drive through field. At a rough
corduroy place about dark, the accident
occurred. Mr.. c. was thrown out of his
buggy and dragged close to the heels of
the horse. He was, Of course, considera-
bly, bruised.
The past few days have brought to the
adjoining townships on the south, plenti-
full showers, while neither Kingsville or
Ashtabula were blessed with scarcely a
drop.
Mr.. Henry Pease and brother Rollin, of
Sheffield, have been doing considerable
stone culVert wOrk-three jobs at least on
the road to Kelloggsville, for which they
are indebted to the freshets of last Sep
tember.
A Mr.. Alger, of Maine, will open the
fall and winter term of our high school,
having engaged for the year.
We hear of no one enquiring about his
chances for an Office, but as human ma
ture is constituted, presume there may be
similar aspirations, here as elsewhere.
