BELLE PLAINS, April o, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR III You will allow me
space in your valuable papeFfor few
notes from this western country, win
try to dish them up. The weather has
been exceedingly dry this spring it has
not rained for months. The ground is
still damp from the melted snow. The
fall Of snow last winter was unprecedented
in this climate, about eleven inches I
should Judge. The past winter has been
very cold, down to l0o below zero, in Jan.
uary.
The peach trees we're in full bloom on
the 4th inst, but severe frost has destroy
ed the most of them. Oats are sowed and
up. There is larger acreage Of corn
being planted this spring than ever before
Wheat looks well and is jointed. II it
rains soon, there will be asplendid crop.
We are going TO have railroad from
Wichita, south through our county in time
to ship our next crop. They are at work
on il now.
Mr.. L. G. Wilson, formerly of your
place, is now located in Wichita, in the
grocery business. He Ia located in
fine new building that does credit to the
city as we'll Ms TO himself And few
weeks ago met Mr.. Chns. Powers, who is
engaged in the Hardware line, who ia alsO
from your place. / will say, without
fear OF contradiction, that there are more
persons here from Wood county than any
other two counties in Ohio.
Now, in conclusion, l will say that we
have as good county as there is in the
state, and il any of your citizens are com
ing west | advise them not to stop till they
get to Sumner county. Any one with a
family should not come here with less
than $500. for times are hard and work IL
scarce. Unimproved lands are worth
from 81 to So per acre, and improved land
is worth SS to Sl2. ANY one desiring in
formation concerning Homes will get the
truth by addressing me aud enclosing

LETTER FROM WANDERER.

CHERRY VALE, KANSAS, April l3, '79.
DEAR JouRNAL:-To judge from what
one secs IN passing along he would infer
that the farmers of south eastern Krnsas
think they are compelled TO supply the
entire nation with corn. What will your
farmers say when they read that one man
and boy II years old with two teams,
plows, plants and harrows sixty.six acres
in fourteen days? Yet such is the fact,
With improved agricultural machinery, on
land free from obstruclions, man can
accomplish great deal.
Long ere this, You have the general re-
suit Of the spring elections; yet few
particulars may prove interesting. In
Parsons the outgoing officials, with an ex-
rebel as Mayor, worked for reelection.
Previous to election, the Mayor boasted
that he could beat any other man IN Par
sons hy fifty votes. The Laboring men
presented ticket of laboring men and
pOrked for i, and the result was, Mr.. John
ny was two hundred and five behind on "a
poll of seven hundred. The plea, as usual
was " That is all past now why keep open
the old sore. II is past aud We cant undo
it Forget IL you have made Mistakes
forgive Jthers," &c.
That all sounds very nicely when attach.
ed to lecture on Charity, but when we get
down TO bed rock stretch of the article
is required, else il won't reach.
We read ia an old history of I" little
unpleasantness that occurred a long time
agi. When the King came to confer with
his people he learned that the entire pop
nlaii0n ha,leommitted the overt act" of
treason. Unlike their descendants, these
people were ashamed Of what they had
done. The contrast seems to end here ~
the originator in the first as in the last
Is constantly trying to have us forget it,
saying, ut is past. let it go. An apple
dor't signify much anyway" So with
these later deeeivers. They saw, Let il
go. What signifies n bit OF old rag that
was puledd0wn No use to talk about
that always"
Trne, the apple or ITsELF was not much
and the rag OF ITSELF was very little, but
in either case the Law was violated aud
authority de6ed LoAg centuries have
passed and we are yet suffering the conse-
| quences Oi the first, and n long and tedious
road is before MS to recover from the last.
| No, gentlemen, please excuse me. Actors
in the first rebellion were subjected to the
penalty Of the law, aud am unable To see
amy good reason for inviting traitors of n
later date TO take the front seats.

Mr.. EDfToR Our saloons make them.
selves manifest once in a while by sending
some drunken fellow on the street TO run
against somebody, or to have the Marshal
run against him. Generally few hours
in the cooler puts them in the notion of
going home and 10 it ends till they get dry
again.
Wilson Marks has made his prospecting
trip to Michigan and has returned com.
pletely disgusted with some parts of the
State, while other parts he liked very well (;
hut he came back satisfied that Wood
county is not the worst place in the world

a while.
Mr.. Falior. our mill man, will I've ready
to grind in about three weeks. This mill
has been built with the intention of being
one of the hest in the State, at least Mr..
Falior has spared neither money nor pains
to make it such. Mr.. +. is also building
an addition, to his dwelling house.
/ hear that Or. Hughes of Custar, will
soon move TO Portage. The DIR. is the right
man in the right place, and il Custar loses
him it will lose good and useful citizen.
The stave factory has not been running
for several days. Mulally's mill is cutting
out the logs rapidly. Our merchants say
trade is getting better. Potatoes are worth
60 cents and are in good demand
There has been an immense pile of lum-
ber, slaves, &c, shipped from here during
the Winter and there are still one or more
cars loaded every day.
Several are contemplating building this
season. Mr.. John Pantonfarg, west of here,
will build large barn this Spring, also
Mr.. Baumgardner will build a barn, and
Joseph Henning will build mn addition TO
his house. The election passed off quietly
and every one seemed to attend to his own
business, and therefore no one qunrreled.

found that there was but one ticket in
the field, and that the candidates we're
having it all their own way, except Mr.. ].
P. Fish, candidate for Township Clerk,
who was defeated by Mr.. Leverit TribLe.
The following gentlemen were elected to

Trustees--F. Z. Meagley, Gurdon Pitch

Clerk-L. Tribble.
Treasurer-W. A. Williams.
Constables-W. L. Decker, William

The corporation election was more ami
mated as there was quite a fight over the
Office of Mayor. 1t seems that n caucus
was held previous to the election, aud Mr..
NJ. h. Manley swas nominated for Mayor.
In the mean ine the friends OF Mr.. q. A.
Repass requested him to run for that officce
whereupon he procured n ticket with the
names NJ all the caucus nominees upon ii
substituting his own instead Of Manley's.
Repass was elected by Il vote OF 46, to %
for Mnnley, whereupon Mr.. NJ. was no
chagrined that he decided to attempt to
overthrow the election on the ground that
Reposs substituted his name for the caucus
nominee. He even went 40 far rs to 20
to Bowling Green TO consult attorneys,
(and perhaps Evers, whom Manley loves
and Repass does not but found so little
satisfac ion that though present when the
officers were qualified he said nothing
Thus has Haskins passed through a crisis
which menaced danger TO the whole nation,

On the night OF the election, some thieves
entered the shop of Mr.. Manley aud took
a lot of leather aud pair of new boots,
all valued at about S2j. Also the same
night the store Of J. NJ. Cunning was bur
glarized to the amount Of eight or ten
dollars. No clue to the thives On Thurs

aged 81 years, 3 months aud days.
Thus another well.known, prominent
and genial citizen has passed from among
us. Mr.. THORNTON has been affected with
n disease Of the kidneys for uear n year
past, which prevented his engaging in
hard labor, but the more direct cause Of
his death was a congestive chill. He was
about town 40 usual on Tuesday Of last
week, apparently in as good health as
usual, aud was not confined TO his bed
until Thursday.
Mr.. THORNTON seemed TO have pre-
mouitiou Of his death, having stated to

that they were about the same age, had
come onto tie river about the same time,
aud that lie "would be tile next one to
CO."
DIR. HAMILTON was called nt the COM
meucemeut of his last illness, aud iu-
formed him that his symptoms were not
Of an alarming nature, but he remarked
that he was not goiug to recover, and de-
sired to make his will. He gradually
grew worse mud all shat medical skill
could do he could not he rallied.
Mr.. THORNTON has figured prominently
in local politics for many years past, aud
has held numerous positions OF trust in
the township, corporation aud school
district.
Mr. THORNTON was born in Duchess

came TO Perrysburg in 1888 or '34, when
about II or Is years of age, aud the lit
tie trunk aud AK of the pioneer boy is
still in the possession of the family. He
went t. work for Mr.. BellviIle, aud board
ed at che old brick tavern, which was
burned last Christmas night. From his
boyhood up, Mr.. THORNTON has ever
beeu known a. an iudu.trious, thrifty,
hardworklug man. He lenrued the trade
OF mason, and followed it faithfully
throughout Ills life.
On the 18th of November, 1910, he
was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Root,
who died in August 1869. About ak
years since he married his second wife,

-Npi'' ANi AotV
EE. JoURNAL:-The Sentinel last week
published letter from this place, signed
" Fair Play" from which quote:
ave cannot concur with the opinion of
"Incog," correspondent to the journal, who
says in n slang way that he would like to
see Mr.. Love move. Mr.. Love is Just as
good, may be better, as Iucog"
In regard to the mis-statement that !
said wanted Love to move, all necessary
explanations were made last week. Ad-
mitting the sentiment in the last sentence,
| would merely call attention to the know
ledge of grammar and rhetorical beauty
displayed, not only in this, but in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The Misses Walters. from Weston, are
meeting with success in their millinery
establishment. They come highly RECON-
mended from Weston and, Incog in
sinuates in an insulting manner that the
other shop done an honest business. All
this appeared in last Saturdays Journal"
The Misses Walters are highly spoken
of by those who know them; and l have
never said, either directly or indirectly, u
word against them.
l do not see how, by any " fair play my
statement that Mrs. Parsons did good
work could be construed into an insult
ing insinuatIOn." Does "Fair Play "
think insulted Mrs. P? His remarks
are more insulting to miliners for he in
sinuates that it is an insult to claim that
they do honest work.
Should you ever receive an article from
this gentleman, who inf1icts them upon
more than one editor, please do as most
of them have done, not let them appear in
their crude form, but correct them and
preserve the reputation OF our town.
