GAINESVILLE, April p.
Tomorrow is the recognized birthday
Of one of the greatest poets that this
world has ever produced. We refer to
William Shakespeare, the great poet OF
humanity, who lived three hundred
years ago, and whose name and fame
live to-day in the hearts of the enlight-
ened people of our own and other lands.
By the voice of the whole civilized
world his name is the first in all litera-
ture, in Imagination, in fancy, in wit, in
pathos,..in strength, in the music OF his
verse, and in that mysterious power
which fuses all these powers into one
and makes them a single means TO a
single end, be stand alone, unapproached
and seemingly unapproachable. And
to-day would we, the actors OF the nine
teenth century, pay true homage to the
memory OF the brilliant Shakespeare.
A new flag station has been estab-
lished at the Children's Home, two
miles east of this place. This will GER
tainly be a great advantage to the
Friends school and Sandy Ridge gener-
ally. All trains, except the night, will
stop on signal.
The financial affairs of Malt Brothers,
our enterprising foundry men, have
been satisfactorily adjusted, and they
will continue business as usual.
Several of our citizens made the an
nual excursion to-day Tuesday on
stock" They ostensibly go TO elect
directors Of the old Central Ohio Com
pany, but the tree ride and city sights
are the real attractions.
The settlement of the county seat
question gives general satisfaction TO the
people of the western part OF the county,
who are generally opposed to removal,
and we shall have a rest on the subject
for some time at least. What a blessed
thought.
Wheeling newspapers are certainly
cultivating GAINESVILLE. The Ne,rs-
Letter sent an agent here last week, the
Leader works for a GAINESVILLE circula-
ton, and the REGISTER distributes quite
number of copies every day, while our
town can boast of more local reporters
TO the square inch than any other town
Of its size in Ohio.
We are still hoping that We shall en-
iov a rendition OF "Pinafore" by the
Wheeling company. They would doubt
less make success by coming up TO
Barnesville. Can't you turn her Prov
this way Captain Lucas?
Henry Stanton has gone to Flushing
TO take charge of a new Touring mill at
that place. +. V. Skipley will act as re-
ceiver of the Coal Works in his absence.
The new Barnesville Building Asso-
ciation is in successful operation. The
first loan will be offered Saturday even
ing for which there will be numerous
bidders, money being scarce in the sec
| ton.
Two young men mutually attracted
| lone hailing from your city. and the
| other from New Comerstown) paid our
town a visit last Sabbath, hoping 10 bask
| in the smiles Of our fair Milliner, but
alas! that they should come doubly.
The Marshal OF New Comerstown won
the day, arrested and "held the fort, y
while our young Wheeling friends whis.
pered audibly, 1T might have been
and "tOo late, cannot enter now"
