rates. Important matters are to DO decid-
ed and fine speakers engaged. Every coun-
" should send a fine representation and
every friend Of the Bible is invited.
We direct especial attention to the
communication of Hr. ]. B. Newton,
regarding the display Wood county
ought to make and can make at the
State Centennial Exhibition at Colum-
bus, commencing Sept. 4. Let all put
shoulder to the wheel and furnish
something that will attract the attention
of all, and that will be credit to the
county and the enterprise of its people.
If the most experienced chemist
was supplied with natural gas, more
suns than we have, water and sprink.
ling cans, and all the other ingredients
to make Vegetation grow, he could not
compete with and would have to make
an assignment to the clerk of the wealth
er who has controlled these matters this
week. Good warm soaking rains and
everything is just booming.
The Perrysburg Dancing Club clos
ed the season with complimentary hop
on Tuesday night, which lasted until
broad-day-light in the mornin,' when
the boys could go home with the girls
without the aid of the simmer of the
sweet silver moon on the bosom of the
Maumee. An excellent supper
was served at midnight at the Ex-
change Hotel, which was fully dis
cussed.
Farmers everywhere should put in q
good crop Of potatoes this spring, or we
shall have to depend upon foreign fields
to make up for another shortage such as
we have TO contend with at present. Dur
ing the past few months we have imported
from Scotch, Irish and German ports, up
wards Of S20O,00 worth of the esculent-
and peoplewho are informed concerning the
market say the movement promises TO con-
tinue until possible glut will bring prices
down to point ut which there will he no
profit in buying them abroad. We are
now using potatoes imported from Scot
land in this market. There are acres and
acres OF town lots and lands in the sur
rounding country growing up in weeds
every year, yet plenty of men and boys are
complaining of not being able to find any
thing TO do. Last year our total importa
tions of potatoes from all countries,
amounted to $3.50, ,0c0. The duty is ff-
teen cents a busliel.
The recent international convention
of women in Washington is the subject
of breezy article in the May CosMo-
poLrTAN, by Miss Ethel Ingalls, he ril-
liant daughter of the famous senator.
The profusion of portraits of the most
celebrated delegates, and the flow Of
clever personal description combine to
form most readable paper. Another
of the journalistic strokes which distin-
guishes this young magazine from its
older companions, is an illustration on
the New Consolidated Exchange of New
York City. Apropos of the late floods
which have devastated China, w. II.
Glider, the N. Y. Herald correspondent
in China in the late Chinese war, con-
tributes valuable account of the Ho-
ang-Ho and its destructive vagaries,
illustrated by a picture of the riverand a
map of its nine different courses. Some
idea may be gained of the enormous
calamities indicated by this diagram
