The Adrian Guardian of last week
contained the following, which is only
too true. What Worthington needs
above all things is an officer or two
who is not afraid to do his duty, and q
public sentiment which will back him
up in hustling all such rowdies to the
lookup:
Ed. GUARDIAN while the Adrian
band was playing on the street, in

the political rally last Monday evening,
crowd of street gamins surrounded
the musicians, threw fire. crackers
among them, and in their faces, kept
up an Internal racket by beating tin

ONE WHO WAS THERE.

tions of the boys of Worthington, on
the night in question, is true, the above
is mild repr0of to the parents and
authorities. Bro. A. p. Miller has al
ways said that Worthington could beat
the world for rowdy boys, but We had
supposed that little prejudice might
have swayed him, and that he was too
hard upon them, but now We are pre-.
pared to believe all he has said. and
even more, after last Monday evenings
performance. It was a disgrace to even
WOrthingtOn's h0Odlums.
Rev. E. X. Lathrop. late editor of
the Worthington Globe and pastor of
the NJ. f. Church. we learn has de-
parted for his new field at Glencoe,
| MINI. We commended him to the
people of that place in a recent issue,
aud We have only to re-enforce that
now and say ''good.by" Our allusion
to his well-marked infirmity'' was by
way of returning the compliment and
of preparing the public mind at Glencoe
for suspension of judgment as to his
nose, proboscis, or whatever it may be.
He has alluded to our personal ap-

will be said that it is not fair to allude
to him thus, now that he is gone, but
it is the universal custom to give a
| 'well-marked" and notorious citizen

departure. A man who will edit a
newspaper for Sis month and board
himself is an example of Christian
sacrifice and adventure worthy of fire.

reputation" like the ADVANCE. Bro.
Lathrcp atones by abundant politics,
for his abundant lack of piety, and we
again appeal to the people Of Glencoe
| to look not upon his nose when it is
red. when it giveth its color in the
day, for it is sign rather of his zeal
than his indulgence.
