The National Tribune says the 10th Ohio
commanded by Gen. w. H. Gibson and re.
cruited at Tiffin, Fostoria, Findlay, Upper
Sandusky and other towns in that vicinity
suffered the greatest loss of any regiment
from this State. On this subject the Tribune
says: ''Out of every 900 men who enlisted
in Ohio, for either a long or short term, 81
were killed on the field and AZ died of disease
That is, II of the 1000 never saw their homes
again. This would make mortality in some
of the long-termed veteran regiments nearly
one half their numbers. The heaviest loss in
killed of any regiment was the 49th Ohio
which left 202 of its number upon the field
Next comes the 73d Ohio, which, out of total
of 1897 upon its rolls from first to last, lost
174 killed by the bullets of the enemy"

Send your order to Bradley's
for NEW SEEDS and you will
save money. If

More towns die for want of confidence on
the part of business men and lack of public
spirit than from the rivalry of neighboring
towns or adverse surroundings. When man
in search of home or business location goes
to town and finds everything brim full of
hope and enthusiasm over the prospects of
the place and earnestly at work to build up
the town, he soon becomes imbued with the
same spirit, and as a result he drives down
his stakes and goes to work with same inter-
est. When however he goes to a town and
every one expressed doubt and apprehension
in the future prosperity of the place, moping
about and indulging in mourning complaints
about imaginary evils which are likely to be-
fall the town, he naturally feels that it is no
place for him. and at once shakes the dust
from his feet, while he pulls with all his pos
sible speed for some other town. Consequent
ly, try and make a live enterprising, progress
sive town out of the one in which you live.
When you are working for or saying good
thing for your town you are accomplishing
all the more for yourself.

Advertising Sch emes.

So many ways and schemes in advertising
are now resorted to, that most people will
look at the bottom or end of an article before
attempting to read it. Most of these adver-
tising recommend articles and medicines
which have but little merit. But whenever
you read Saur & Balsley's advertisem ents you
may rely on learning something new every
time, something that will benefit you, some
thing that will save you money. They
now are calling the attention of people to
their large stock of cloth window shades
which they are closing out at lower prices
than have ever before ruled on the same class
of goods, also full line of blank books and
stationery of every description which must
be closed out preparatory to receiving their
spring stock of goods which will need all the
available room in their large Drug and Book

The Lake shor e Short Line.

The Fremo MT and and Butler cutoff for the
Lake Shore railroad is again occupying the
attention of the people along the route. This
time the movement appears to have begun at
the business end. When the matter was first
started and submitted to the Lake Shore
officials. they expressed themselves as willing
to accept the road provided the people would
build it. Now it appears that the Lake
Shore, attracted by the great developments
of southern Wood county, and realizing how
much they are losing by not having direct
connection with the gas and oil territory,
are making overtures that indicate an
earnestness it would be well for our people
to pay some attention to.
gentleman who resides elsewhere and is
interested in Bowling Green, and high up in
financial world, said to the Sentinel the other
day that he had recently talk with the lead
ing officials of the Lake Shore, and the con-
versation turned to the Butler & Frement
cutoff. The officials expressed themselves as
very anxious to see the road built, and stated
that they were ready to consider any PROPOSE
ii on the parties along the route would make
and deal literally with them.
The Butler i Fremont cutoff may not be
built this year. but it is bound to come. It
saves the Lake Shore fifteen miles between
Chicago and Cleveland, which in itself is
worth all the road would cost, besides would
add in the oil freights alone enough to pay
for the investment. 1t will come some time,
and probably within the next year. ar.-Bowling
