KEEL.

Mr.. Nicholas Dittmar, of Meme,
tarried one night in the village this week.
A new Howe scales is being put up
near the depot. The need of second
scales has long been felt both by mer-
chants who buy and by farmers who are
either incredulous or suspicious.
T he Kiel school which is under the
charge of Misses Murphy and Eller and
Mr.. Hewitt opens up with an enrolment
OF one hundred and twelve pupils.
Fay Richardson, long and well known
as leading spirit among the teachers
of this locality, will preside over the
Rockville seminary this year.
Miss Sarah Peppard, of Memee, began
her school in the Zorn district last week.
The authorities have concluded to
furnish the Kiel school with a new set of
outline maps and globe.
Blackberrying is all the rage just
now, and people return daily bearing
brier marks but also bearing large
quantities of the delicious fruit which
compensates them for all inconvenience
and injuries.
The Kiel singing society meets every
Saturday night for practice. The teach
er, Mr.. Eller has at present under his
care few individuals whose profession
demands some musical talent, whose
souls are musical, but whose culture
in that art has been neglected. They
are doing well, We are happy to state.
Harvest dances are the chief topics
for discussion now, and at the end of
a few weeks Kiel will have had its due
proportions of these delightful enter
tainments.
A number of Meme farmers who
sold cattle to Mr.. Kurz of this place
were in town last Saturday with the
stock.
The Kiel turner's consist of girls, boy s
and young men, who meet semi-weekly
to perform many muscle strengthening
but difficult movements.
There have been two birthday parties
during the week, and there is another
one set for the 25th. They are pronoun-
ced very delectable affairs by those who
have the honor of attending.
Several new buildings are in course
of completion here. Schroeder is build
ing large addition to his general and
drug store, and man named Meyer
at present resident of Mill Home, who
lately purchased the old Belitz mill
property, is finishing a fine residence.
In the spring he will erect a large grist
mill on the site of the present sawmill
which time has about dilapidated. The
old dam, too, will be taken out and
replaced by new one.
The tin shop of G. FL. Simon, has
just received a fresh coat of paint.
This institution which has just been
finished is the largest of its kind in
the county.
1t may interest some, who rarely, if
ever. visit this part of the county, to
know that sugar cane is one of its pro-
auctions. and that there is here also q
syrup factory to manufacture the juice
into syrup. At later day we may visit
the canefields and the factory when in
operation, and write up the matter.
About six months ago there came to
Kiel fresh from beyond the sea man
whose appearance and manners were
very prepossessing. He introduced him
| self as "Count" -and soon, by the
urbanity of his manners and his repre-
sensations of his wealth, he gained the
respect of all, the admiration of many,
and pecuniary assistance from a few.
When it was found that his money was
not forthcoming suspicion at once pro-
nounced him an impostor. Seeing the
inevitable result of just indignation the
lordly man fled to Elkhart where he
was lately seized and deprived of few
valuables. 1t is morally certain that he
will ever absent himself from this scene
of his artful victories. Yet he will be
long remembered for his commanding
presence, his lofty title and his insidious
smiles. Had this mau represented
himself as a man from N. Y. with the
estate of Vanderbilt he would ha We
been pronounced fraud at once. But
there is something "great in that strange
spell, name" which too often throws
around men net of enchantment clouds
their reason and makes them the IRA
tional worshipers of false gods.
