Not a Beard in Town.

4 stranger visiting Sylyania right
now would be amusingly impressed with
the similarity in appearance of all its
male inhabitants, and he would have
been much more amused had he wit
messed the process by means Of which
they all reached this state of common
brotherhood.
1t was so dull the first part of the
week that even the honorable and time
honored "Sylvania Gas Company" be-
gan to show signs of falling into innocu-
GUS disuse and ceased to furnish its
members with the usual enlivening
elixir of mirth. OF course something
had to be done; so few of the mem
bers decided that they would shave up
clean and have their heads clipped.
Our barber, Mr.. H. r. Kemp, did the
work up in rare and rapid style, and the
boys were so we'll pleased with their
new selves that they magnanimously re-
solved to "do" the town up likewise; so
out they started on clipping expedi-
ton.
The first victim who walked into the
hands of the spoilers was young man
with curly hair and quite long beard,
of which he was very proud. He
kicked" and swore, but it was no use.
He was escorted upstairs and in a few
minutes, by virtue of his white head
and shining face, was a member of the
Mystic Circle of the Slick Then the
fun commenced in real earnest. No one
was spared.
Young men, old men and boys, just
as they happened to come along, were
gathered into the fold. Some submit
ted meekly to the inevitable; some
pleaded piteously or threatened prose-
cution; some protested and struggled
violently; but the same fate awaited
them all alike-each came out with a
slick face and hairless head. When
the subject became too obstreperous
ore of the committee took the clippers
and moved furrow down the center of
his head. This always had very quiet
ing effect, and the operation was then
performed without any further trouble.
One of our lawyers escaped several
times by fast running, but finally came
out and gracefully surrendered I;
and he, too, now wears a white
HtAu. Auobuti lhWNck outHdH au OhiCAhA
of the county, and managed to save
his scalp for a while.
The only man in town who did not
escape-if escape it can be called-was
a young clerk who, when the Canvass
ing Committee was out on the warpath,
slipped up stairs and was quickly clip
ped, thus taking fate by the forelock, as
it were. Everybody is alike down here
now, and it is rare sight to see citi-
zen with hair on his head. One man in
this unique condition came into town
yesterday, and, from the way he was
stared at and followed around, one
would have thought he was John l..
Sullivan himself Our barber was into
the clique and did all the work for
nothing. OF course he will not do any
thing more in the hair-cutting line for
several months to come, but probably
he did not think of that, or was willing
to submit to the sacrifice for the fun
