Stan and Fenner went TO Chicago last week

run in" by the "cops" on account of the

Mrs. j. Gorton Smith, a sister-in-law of
Capt Ed. Smith, was recently found dead at
her residence in Hartford Conn. Capt. Ed,
being at Mantle at the time, was telegraphed

Mr.. G. w. Naftzger of Waverly. noted
bee-keeper, takes exception to our statement
that bee-keepers manufacture their own
honey comb. He wants to give hundred
dollars to any man that can do it, and says
other parties are willing to give thousand
dollars. We obtained our information from
a bee-man; we don't know anything about
the business experimentaly.
At the recent session of the state board of
equalization, the valuation of the state was
equalzed at S945,000,000, being an increase
of Sl35,O0O,000 over 1881. Van Buren,
County remains as before, S14 100000. The
proportion of state tax paid by this county
under the old apportionment was .0174 per
cent; under the new equalization it will be
.015 per cent This augurs that Mr.. Killifer
must have attended to his duty as o repre-
sentative of this county at the session of the
state board.
The ball game between the Paw Paws and
Lawtons, OH Tuesday last, not for purse of
one hundred dollars, was won by the Lawtons:
score, twelve to eleven in ten-innings game.
At the beginning of the eighth innings the
score stood eleven to three in favor of Law
ton, and at the close of the ninth it was q tie
eleven to eleven. The Lawtons scored the
winning run in the tenth, the Paw Paw boys
being retired with blank. And so, we sup
pose, the Lawton club is entitled to the
championship of the county, temporarily, at
least.
