Board of Health,

There was a special meeting of the
Board of Health last Saturday evening, at
which all members were present except
DR.. E. L. King. The special committee
appointed at the previous meeting to pro-
cure a survey for a sewer from Zeile's tan
merry to the Main street sewer, with a view
to carrying off the offensive matter that
comes from said tannery, submitted pro-
file of said proposed sewer together with
report from David Sloan, c. E. The re-
port was accepted, and together with the
profile was ordered to be placed on file.
The Health Officer was directed to imme.
diately give notice to ahate the nuisance
from said tannery, after which theBoard
adjourned,
The survey as submitted by the engineer
shows it is not possible to drain the watts OF
the tannery into the Main street sewer,
hence the survey was continued to the
river bank, distance of 76O feet, with a
grade of six inches per 100 feet. The esti
mated cost is SO cents per foot, or $270.

KINGSVILLE.


Eds. TsI:-It is our painful duty to re-
cord the fact that Edwin Morse, of North
Kingsville, a very exemplary and talented
young man is finally insane. This malady,
probably of an hereditary type may not have
developed itself only from having of late
more or less of physical disability. He is
the only son of Luther Morse, a farmer
living about mile east of North Kings
Yille. With his treatment received at
the hands af his physician-Dr. E. N.
Webster-there has been signs of reeupera-
tion in body, and yet the mind showing
more and more signs of disease, until of
late he has required more or less surveil-
lance over him. Last Friday night the
presence of a Mr.. Caldwell, school friend
Of his, from Jefferson. seemed to possess
him still more, that there was conspiracy
on the part of everybody to poison him.
Giving him the liberty of the door yard, as
it seems, he enticed his friend Caldwell
around the corner of the house and there
upon told him that now he had got him
where he wanted him, and with something
like wrench in his hand-now revealed
struck at and closed in with him. Mr.. G.
however, succeeded in getting clear Of him.
Alarmed at his own safety, Morse ''lit
out, and was gone for several hours, coming
back about eleven o'clock. 1t seems he
crossed the road to the house of John
Wheaton, and called for Miss Della Morse,
a music teacher, stopping at Mr.. Wheat
on's, she being an aunt of Edwin's The
inmates of the house became somewhat
aroused in consequence of an attack, in
which serious blows were given by the in
sane man, upon the head Of Miss Morse,
with an instrument-accordi to report
something like a monkey wrench. The
neighborhood was aroused by her screams,
and again it was discovered that he was
missing. He came back in the course Of
Saturday, and was taken to the infrmary
for safe keeping, until some decision
could be arrived at for disposing Of him
more permanently. Miss Morse is believed
to be in fair way of recovery. Edwin
Morse-some 90 years Of age, was much
engaged in mental mprovement-teaeh
ing school in winter, and working upon
the farm in the busy season. For pOr-
ton of the time he has been apupil at JEFF
ferson. He was member of the Presby-
terian church, and enjoyed the esteem of
the community.
Davis & Mullett have picked nearly
eight hundred bushels of tomatoes from
their three acres, and are still picking.
They report the crop paying one.
A vocal serenade was rendered to Mr..
Davis and lady on Saturday evening, for
which they extend their acknowledge
ments.
Our hot weather has hurried along the
ripening of corn and potatoes, and all are
busy in the harvest. G.

Miss Victoria Richardson has gone to
Concord, N. c., to teach this winter.
Miss Emma johnson has succeeded in
obtaining pledges in Mission Sunday school
in No. 10 to the amount of $50 to educate
young men of color in the South for the

The election to-day passed off quietly
though there was more earnestness than is
seen sometimes in State elections. The
entire vote poIled was 325-Demoeratic
vote 126, Republican vote 1917, Republican
majority II. Never since the landing Of
the pilgrims on Plymouth rock in 1920
have I seen voting as badly mixed as it was
to-day for Justice and Assessor. The sue
eessful candidate for Justice was o. K.
Latimer, and he received 1856 votes. For
Assessor, C. E. Williams, and he received
2OS votes. J.J.

DR.. I. HENDRY.
Dear Sir:-I take. the pleasure to let the
people know what a wonderful effect your
medicine has had on my wife She had
been afflicted for six months about her
stomach and liver, which caused such dis
tress that she could net get a good breath
for half day at time, and still grew
worse under the treatment Of two as skill
full doctors as there is in this vicinity. DR..
7. Hendry was treating my daughter in
Ashtabula at that time, and my daughter
got some medicine of him and sent it to
her; the first potion helped; then she had
him come, for we thought she could not
live long as she was. He gave her medi-
cine that lasted her two months, and in ten
days after commencing on his medicine
she had 60 gall stones, some Of them the
size of a hickory nut or larger, pass from
her stomach and liver, which relieved her,
she could get a good breath and stand
strait without holding her hand to her
stomach, and still on the gain. He COM
menced treating her the 8th of May 1879.
DR.. Z, Hendry has treated five different
eases that know with good success.

THE RETURNS were received by telegraph
on Tuesday night at Haskell's hall by both
parties and read for the benefit of ALL
From the beginning they wore Republi-
can aspect, and afforded very little COM
fort to our Democratic friends. The cheer
ing, however, alternated as the dispatches
afforded encouragement to either PARTY.
Their tendency seemed to bear the greater
amount of happiness for the Republicans,
and in this respect they grew no. bet
ter, and the portent OF encouragement
and disaster began to weigh upon
their spirits and they gradually grew
more quiet, except when some Republican
saw fit to rally them by little joke. As
they became depressed, the spirits of the
Republicans went up IN adverse ratio.
When we left, after midnight, the Repub-
licans began to count the probabilities of
majority of ten or fifteen thousand, and
their opponents had not the warrant for
questioning it. DR.. Fricker, who rather
carries the party in his trousers pocket
made feint of bOlstering up the spirits of
his friends by hope that Butler county
returns would redeem their fortunes. Our
friend Dan got lost in the mazes of the
wards of Cleveland, and solemnly appealed
to us to help him out by informing him
how many voting precincts there were in
Cleveland, for if there were not some limit
to the number of wards such majorities as
were declared for each might give that end
of the State q disastrous preponderanee.
The poor fellows, however, took the thing
so much to heart, and such was the deathly
pallor of their countenances, and such the
sepdlehral hollowness of their efforts of
good nature, that levity on our part seemed
like cruelty to animals. We, therefore,
started for home fearing that the moment
was not far distant when they might fall
to weeping and mourning because their
rsg-5aby was not. And besides, as brother
Morrison is rather hard-visaged man we
didn't know but that extranous means would
be needed to put himself in full harmony
with his Democratic friends. We had not
more than got fairly nestled in the arms of
morpheus, when the boys-upon whom we
had tried to impress some ideas of human
lty towards these Democratic Niobes whom
we left in the hall-begsn to boom, and
the brazen throated artillery continued to
wake the echoes for miles around. Twen-
ty-tour guns spoke of the victory of the
State, and rent and tore the larcerated feel.
ings of our depressed and comfortlessG
friends. This booming business was the
last feather that broke the ass back. They
gathered themselves in despair and disgust
and mOodily wended their way home. their
friends at least trustingly hopeful that the
Christening of disappointment and conse-
quent reflection might have the salutatary
effect of improving their condition as par
tisans and patriots.
