Hyou want to get rich, keep all you get and
look for more, and when you die, you'll have

The report of our schools for the past four
months, under the Superintendency of Prof. C.
C. Miller, makes a splendid showing. We
doubt if it can be equalled in any other town
in Ohio. There is nothing like good and well
conducted schools in any community, and We
trust ours will continue to grow and prosper.
Bloom of the New Paris Mirror calls our at
s~tentior that he was robbed of$40! Too tishy !!
We donse believe it. The idea of a small vii
lage publisher of a small newspaper being the
owner Of, and laying around loose, forty dol
lars, is absurd. Preposterous Why the city
editors of Eaton don't have it with all their
1afat takes" and drafts on the county Treas
ury ! Git out, Mr.. Bloom. If you were robbed
of $40, it was confederate money, the property
of your wife, the "devil" in your Office, the
hired girl or some rich relative that trusted it
in your care. Oh, no, Mr.. Bloom, you can't
stuff us with that kind of thin Cruel. We've
been IN the business too long. Try the boys
at West Manchester.
