In all that time two real good Judges have
been elected both despite Monroe county
BOurbonS- one of them lived to serve
but about one year of the five for which
he was chosen. Has MT Belmont borne
its share of this infiiction for this century,
at least? If the other counties adjoining
Monroe will not agree to take up the cross
for few years, provision that Judges
shall be elected by the voters of the judi
cial district, instead of the subdivision,
will cure the evil.
This matter should be looked after be-

Town and County.

THE culvert on the South Common is
wholly inadequate for the purpose design
ed, and should be replaced by large and
substantial stone culvert, and the fill ma
terially widened. A serious mistake will
be made if the dirt to be removed from
the court house grounds is not utilized AT
that and other like places. A good street
can be made from Marietta street to the
HOffner place, in the East end, if there is
good Judgment and some spirit of enter
prise in Council. And so of the North
Common.

is cheap building sites. Here is an op-
portunity to open up many lots that might
be made very desirable.

bag Mr. Walter Troll last Saturday night
The Troll homestead, surrounded by sew
eral acres, sets back from the street more
than hundred feet, and the lawn is COW
cred with large trees. In the shadow of
these, and near the gate, the assassin Sc
creted himself, and as Mr.. Troll entered
the gate struck him very awkward blow,
which staggered him. An angry exclama-
tion and hurried dive at his hip-pOcket
put his baffled assailant to flight A stock
ing filled with wet sand was found, but
there is no clue to the asSailant.

contents entered his body blowing him
into fragments. His head was picked up

other
