LAWTON LOCALS.

From Our Own Correspondent.
The Decatur shyster who came over IN the
eve. OF election with the intention OF deiraud-
the Hon. Henry Ford of the votes OF some of
his townsmen, did not meet with very friend
ly reception. And thinking 1t too late in the
season to render ride by rail enjoyable, even
il he were protected from the inclemency of
the weather by coat of tar and feathers. The
said gentlemen y took sn unceremonious de-
parture, stepping il off on the ties for home.
Our School board called a. special meeting
for Friday evening Iof last week, for the pur-
pose OF reconsderlng plans for School Libra
ry. After considerable debate the resolution
OF previous meeting which provided for the
purchase OF one thousand volumes, was rescind-
ed, very much TO the disappointment OF Judge
Lawton, who was the prime mover in the
scheme.
The passenger room OF the depot ON last
week Tuesday night, was crowded till the wee
sma' hours with eager listeners to the cleo
ton returns which we're skillfuly taken from
the wires, as they were sent over the line, by
l.. Waldorf, who proved himself TO be the
" boss lightning catcher AS the numbers for
Garfield steadily increased, humorous cheers
for Hancock occasionally pealed forth, and the
genera, hlarity OF the crowd YVES not Demo-
cratic.
The eldest son or the late Elisha. Durkee
(who 1T will be remembered was a staunch
Democrat), sstonished the community By cast
ing his maiden vote on the side OF right-that
is for Garfield.
Frank Terry, of Joliet, Ill.,, who arrived at
this place only two or three days preceding
election, managed to cast an illegal Democratic
vote here, and while preparations were being
made for his arrest, he, too. went where the
woodbine twineth.
A delegation OF Bangor teachers made our
Principal visit one day last week, and, after
tour OF the departments, returned to their
homes expressing themselves as well pleased
with the conditions OF the school
Mrs. DR.. II. s. Griffin has been visiting old
friends here.
Mrs. Erwin Adams, resident OF Lawton in
its infancy, is visiting relatives here. She is
grandmother Of C.. s. Adams.
Mrs. l.. Waldorf and Mrs. ". O. Martin have
gone to Indianola, Iowa where they will spend
a few weeks visiting relatives.

The Congregational church has new roof

Mr.. Jacob Roosevelt has lost three sheep, kil
ed by dog. A trap was set for the dog, and
an American grey eagle was caught measuring
over feet from tip to TIP. Glorious bird, in
deed What cares he, behind bis prison bars.

Mr.. A. Lamont, with his family, goes TO Bat

Mr. Fort moves on the Byers farm.
The friends OF Mr.. Pritchard some h0ac found
out that his 48th birthday occurred on the 4th
inst Now, Mr.. Pritchard's wife is not generally
obstinate about small things, but, notwitbstand-
ing the rain on said day, she insisted on gong
to Decatur to do some necessary shopping
They went, and returned about four o'clock to
find the house full of company, table spread
bountifully, awaiting the master; and to man
cold and hungry it was indeed pleasant sight !:
but the climax WAS reached when, in an easy,
off-hand manner, Mr.. Elliott, in the name OF
the friends, presented an easy chair as token
of their regards. His earnest words stirred the
fountain Of tears, when, by stroke Of wit, (al-
belt turned on bimself,) tears were turned to
laughter, and it wac altogether an enjoyable
season. May be and his good wife have many
such anniversaries.
DR.. McMaster, OF Dowagiac, lectured on In
