A Well rooked Sueacl

There was fair sized audience ut the
Tswn Hall on Tuesday night t. hear Hon.
Asher Cook discuss the issues Of the pres.
eat campaign. S. Spnk, Esq, was called
to preside over the meeting, who, by the
way, wished a few days since that he was
about twenty years younger. Judge Cook
discussed the issues advanced by the two
parties in a candid and practical manner
and it is seldom that we have heard them
pres nted 80 clearly and forcibly as upon
this occasion. Every one who heard it re-
ceived something for further thought and
consideration.
The Garfield Guards were out in goodly
numbers on this occasion.

Certain Democrats are trying TO throw
dirt on the good name and good inten-
tions OF Mr.. o. o. Rolf, the young man
who recently became disgusted with Wade
Hampton Democracy, and declared him
self for Garfield and the Republican ticket.
We will only say for those who do not
know the gentleman, that he is a college
student, we'll informed, intelligent, aud c e.
pable, and declared from the beginning
Of the campaign, "If Wade Hampton said
what lie is accused Of saying in his Staun-
ton speech, will never vote for Hancock" I"
And beyond that Rolf will take care OF
himself every day in the week.

roLg RAISING ATKOnL's CORNERS

Last Saturday, the Repub licans raised
the finest pole in the county, at what is
known as Kohl's Corners, about one mile
west Of the Five Points. A squad Of the
Garfield Guards, and a number OF citizens
OF Perrysburg, went out TO assist. Capt +.
A. Wetmore was placed in charge and as
soon as the proper arrangements could be
made, the pole was raised without the
slightest accident. Aspendid banner, l2x
20 feet, was run up and unfurled to the
breeze, and the cheers of the assembled pop
uace could be heard for miles.
Messrs. Robert S. Parker and J. o. O.Troup,
Of Bowling Green, were present and made
short but enthusiastic speeches, congralu-
lating the people on the sGcceSs Of their
work in raising the highest pole in the
county, lii being l41 feet above ground)
and urging them to stand firm and as
sist in rolling up the grand Republican
majority which is expected in this county.
Their speeches were short, owing to the
laieneSs Of the hour, but were full OF ex.
cellent points and vera we'll received, as
was manifested by the repeated and hearty
cheers Of the people.
1t was expected that the exercises would
conclude in time for the visiting Guards
and friends from Perrysburg TO return home
for supper, but owing to delay, occasioned
by not having sufficient rope TO raise the
pole, it was late in the evening before they
could return. But none were allowed to
suffer, however, as Mr.. David Hatcher and
Mr.. John Kohl, and their excellent wives,
hastily prepared supper, and invited the
boys to "eat, drink, and be merry" and
they were not slow in accepting the invi-
talion. II would be wrong to fail to men,
ton Mr.. Dixon Hatcher, the grey-haired
gentleman who 40 generously POURED out
his best cider to the thirsty Guards. AT
ter pariaking refreshments, the Guards
gave three ronsing cheers and tiger for
both Mr.. Hatcher and Mr.. Kohl, and re-
turned home well pleased with the treat
ment they received from their farmer
friends.
Messrs Noah Cox and Casper Snyder de-
serve great credit for their efforts in the
raising Of this pole, as they were the prin-
ciple movers in the work. The streamer
aud banner which adorn the pole are the
handiwork OF the Republican ladies Of
thst section, and are fully Ms we'll made as
any your reporter has seen IN this dlstI let.
Next October and November the Repub-
lican party may look for hearty sup
port from the vicinity Of Kohrs Corners.
