horseman of Sugar Greek township, sold
a three year old colt one day last week
for $3.50. He Is also the owner or
bunch of 80 iwethers whose average
weight are 150 pounds.
We had the pleasure of meeting our
Congressman elect wilkins, of Urichs-
Vile at the office of HanlOn Brothers,
MassillOn, one day during the week.
He starts on his usual yearly visit to the
South next week. Mr.. wilkins will be
no detriment to the next Democratic
House, as he served his district credit
ably in the upper house of the Ohio
Legislature and brings to his new field
at Washington knowledge of practical
legislation.

Squire wilhelm, of Justus, informs us
| that since the opening of the coal mines
on Daniel Kailer's farm by Hon. Anthony
| Howells & Co., of MassillOn, the business
of the village has rapidly increased. The
village supports well supplied store by
| Squire wilhelm, one or two eating sa-
looms and a we'll furnished hotel kept by

scribes from his own drug store for the

the rise of the square, with the tall spire
of the U. B. Church to the north of Andy

1t was in the city Of Fredericksburg

tendent of the Notifications around
Richmond under Beauregard, ranking
very high in the estimation Of the au'
thOrities at Richmond. As a military
engineer he had few supeTiOrs in the
| COnfederaey. He was connected by mar
riage with one of the first families OF
Eastern Virginia, being a sOn-in-law OF
George W. Chancellor, on whose planta-
tiOn was fought one of the most san
culinary battles OF the war. Prior to the
breaking out of hOstilities between the
North and South the subject of our
sketch was engaged in The survey and
construction of public Improvements,
and as such was brought in contact with
| most Of the eminent railroad men of
his time. When in his studio he would
relate to us in a brief way the history
of some Of the most distinguished Irish
men OF Virginia. Among his warm and
| devoted friends in the army were Gen.
Patrick ClaybOurn and Gen. Malone,
The former lost his life under the com
mand of Gen. Hood on the memorable
march to the sea. His lifelong friends,
the elder Malone and Kenna, had done
the State lasting service in developing
the railroad facilities, bringing the pro.
ductiOns of its vast resources to the sea-
board, but says he, tom, they will leave
to the old Commonwealth two sons whose
names will go down to history among
| the great illuminers of her glory" We
little thought at the time that good
friend was a prophet, but really such
was the case, for to-day we find the di-
visions of the grand old commonwealth
represented in the Senate of the Unite l
States by Gen. Malone and John f.
| Kenna.
