| We make no apology Tor giving SO
much space this week to the reports, no
tices, ETC., of local, benevolent, Missionary
and Church news. A good part ofthe year
fair proportion of our readers have to
submit to heroic doses of political and
other matter which is not much to their
taste, and does not contribute greatly to
their edification, or make them very many
degrees wiser. If there is occasionally a
turn about, and matter given in which
some will have little interest, we still rest
assured that great many will care to get
this kind of news; and we think it quite
as good reading as the other.
The Township Trustees chosen at our
last election decided not to qualify, and
by law the duty of filling their offices de-
volved on Eli B. Howk, Esq, he being the
the Oldest in office. He, accordingly, dis
charged that duty last Thursday by ap-
pointing Lucius Herrick, ]. H. Wight and
Homer Allyn, all of whom appeared and
qualified. No meeting has yet been held,
and of course it is not known what move
will be made with reference to the build
ing of the Town Hall. We hope, however,
that the preliminary steps will soon be
taken and the building pushed to compile
ton as early as is consistent with the mag
nitude of the undertaking
Boys, if you do not enjoy meeting on
the street or across the counter, one of
those blear-eyed, whisky soaked, tobacco
dyed, wheeling and steaming and reeling
specimens ofwrecked humanity that make
you hold your breath as you do when you
are passing q hog-pen or an antiquated
cider mill, you want to throw away that
cigarette and never see the inside of a
beer shop or saloon. Some one who had
been there Saturday night, left his sup
North Main street fence instead of going
home. The stiff north wind of Monday
was not strong enough to sweep away the
foul breath of one of those crooked going
drunkards, until one had gone several
steps past him. Girls you think you would
not admire that style of a husband with
whom to celebrate your silver wedding
Then you young ladies don't want to pre-
tend that you don't object to the smell of
cigar, and that an occasional drink harms
no one. You may as well give him back
his ring ifyou are not willing to take him,
as he will be ten or fifteen or twenty-five
yesrs hence.
The new firm, purchaser of the Wei
lington -four mill, has sold one-fourth in
terest to Mr.. Putnam, of Cleveland, prac-
tical miller, who will have charge of the
reftting and operating, while the financial
management will be in the hands of an
other member of the company. Work
will very soon be commenced and the
machinery and building entirely over
hauled. All the old works will be remov-
ed, the foundation walls and supports put
| in good condition, and the machinery will
be put in place as though it was a new
mill. 1t will be provided with the latest
improved machinery, as good as can be
purchased in the United States, for man
ufacturing the roller process flour, and will
have a capacity of one hundred barrels o
-four per day. Nothing that can be dont
by skill and money to enable it to compete
successfully with the best mills in tn,
country win be neglected. The exteriol
will also receive attention so as to max,
it an ornament as well as an addition to tn,
business enterprise ofour town. We ough
to say, in addition, that Mr.. Putnam is I
large owner in, and has charge of the fines
and most successful Touring mill in Cleve
land and has a reputation in his line sec
ond 10 none. We feel that the success O
this enterprise is assured and that it
one that will add not little to the matel
ial growth and prosperity of our town.
