in the meadows, now being moved,
that have come under our observa-
ton, the hay crop of this county
will simply be immense. 1t is good
for the farmer that he has at least
one crop from which he will
have large surplus to sell. And
if his corn crop. which now promi-
SEES an abundant yield, is not inju-
red by drouth, he ought to be hap
ply, if his wheat was a failure.
The Festival and Dinner given
by the ladies at Concord Baptist
Church, on Five Mile, last Saturday
was an enjoyable and successful af-
fair a great many people were
present, and they spent their mo-
ney freely. The festival was given
for the purpose of raising funds to
pay for an organ recently put in the
church. The proceeds of the day
will probably liquidate the debt of
500.
Miss Mittie Edwards, was voted u
breast-pin, as the handsomest young
lady on the ground.
Mr.. Spencer Adkins, of this city,
an old soldier, and an invalid for
several years, desires to return his
warmcst heartfelt thanks to his old
comrades in blue, as well as those
who faced him in the gray, for the
kindness shown him during the sol
diers' reunion in this city. The
shrill whistle of the fife, and soldier
encouraging sounds of the drums,
put new blood in his veins, as it
were, and made the old man feel
himself again. His innermost pray
er, is, that the boys in blue and the
boys in gray may ever shake the
hand of friendship and finally unite
fraternally in that house not made
with hands
We received from the County
Clerk the Financial Statement for
the County, for the fiscal year end
ing June Both, 1888. 1t will appear
in our next issue. 1t will be pa
per full of much interest to our rea-
ders, as it will show the receipts and
disbursements for our county du-
ring the last fiscal year. We would
like to have published it this week,
but sickness and want of time to
put it in type, prevented us from
doing so. The Court showed it's
IiberaIity by ordering its publica-
ton in both papers.
Don't fail to read the notice of a
cheap excursion to Detroit Michi-
gan, which appears elsewhere in
this issue. No doubt many of our
citizens will take advantage of this
opportunity to visit the lake and
enjoy the cool and bracing atmos-
pherc of the north. The rate is ex-
ccedingly low, and the tickets are
good returning for 4 days.
The Galiipolis Bulletin objects to
paying the Marshal of this city,
reward or-capturing the negro who
raped a white girl near that place,
few days ago. This shows a petty
meanpess that we did not suppose
existed in the editor of the Bulletin.
Docs he suppose that our officers
are going to risk their lives in ar
resting their escaped outlaws and
despcrados, without compensation?
