ture. His fences are all down and
seattle ed to the four winds, as if by
a cyclone.
We also met Ben Allen, young
Mr.. Schall and others in the harvest
fed. The wheat crop is larger
than usual, and the corn and oats
is. very promising.
The shades of evening wero fast
approaching, when left the har-
vest field. and we had several mile:
yet to drive over most hazardous
road, before we reached the resi-
dence of Mr.. Albert Wright, our
objective point for the night, We
wound round. the curves, over the
streams of the Ash Cave Region.
/ and at about 8 o'clock were at the
residence of Mr.. Wright. That
farmer and his son Clem took care
of our team, while Mr.. Wright and
daughter prepared us q most excel
lent suprer,which was fully relished
Wr. Wright has a most interesting
and intelligent family and our re-
ception was all that could be dc.
sired. After a nights rest and a
sumptuous breakfast, we bid the
family adieu and wended our way
in the direction of South Blooming
vile, which was soon reached.
There has been little change in the
architecture of the village since our
last trip, and the population is
about the same. Two stores are
closed and waiting for the hammer
of the Sheriff. We conversed with
the Postmaster, Mr.. Campbell, and
were encouraged with his words of
cheer and promises of renewed ef-
forts IN behalf of the Sentinel. The
Dow law is IN full force in the town,
but j. W. lies furnished us with ice
cold pop and lemonade, all that a
Democrat and a Sentinel printer
could crave for. Col. j. w. Free,
of New Lexington, was there on
pension busiaess, promising peG-
slons to all deserving soldiers.
From Bloomingville, we visited
Laurelsille, stopping for time at
the residence of Uncle Dan Davis
He was not in the shop but in the
field, and we failed to see HIM. Wo
were disappointed In this, as also in
not meeting Rufe Karshner, and
Others on that road.
We found Uncle Bill Kennedy
right side up, his store full of nice
goods, and his jug filled with
cooling water from the spring
Mr.. Kennedy is a live business
man, an intense Republican. and
Fenian as he is, a good supporter
Of the Sentinel.
We were not a little surprised at
the growth and business of Laurel
vile. 1t is by far the most -four
ishing town on the route. New
houses are going up in every direc-
ton, and there is an air of business
perNding the place seldom met
with in country villages. The Dow
law has not struck the village. We
piastered the town with Sentinel
posters. and were soon on the way
10 South Perry, stopping only to
chat with Nels Armstrong and to
hang up more posters.
South Perry shows hui little signs
OF Improvement. We notIced but
one new building in course of cree
ton. Louie Wagncr still holds
sway as the merchant prince of that
neighborhood. His stock equals
any of the larger towns. j. w.
Cupp runs the Hotel in most ac
ceptable manner to tho travelling
public. His table is well supplied
with luxuries and substantials. and
he pays equal attention to the hor-
ses, so that we can trulhfully say
that he furnishes excellent accom-
modaiions for man and beast. Mr.
Cupp assisted us in our work, for
which he has the thanks of the Sen
tinei.
Leaving South Perly at about 6
P. NJ, our trip homeward was rap
id. Away eff IN The fields we could
sec Geo. Johnston, the Klines, Jake
Myers, Abel Carpenter and other
friends of the Sentinel, but darkness
was approaching and we passed
them, only raising our hat in recog-
milton.
We reached Logan about 9 O..
clock weA satisfied with tho work.

present and future outlook. There
