A Ridgeville correspondent of the Wauseon
Tribune says:
Mrs. L. E. Chapman has been having a
serious time with a cancer in the face, near
the eye She has had it operated upon four
times, each time suffering the most intense
agony. The last treatment was at Findlay
when the cancer was removed, but by unex-
cusable malpractice, she is now suffering
with terrible inflammation in the eye ball,
caused by the plaster. She is being treated
by DR.. Currier, of Toledo, but with little
hope of ever seeing from the injured eye.

Bad Roads,

Gently, but yet it might bs worse. The fol-
lowing from the Van Vert Buelletin show
what ''it use to be-" THE mud and slush oi
the past few weeks has brought to the surface
many amusing stories of the trials of those
who had to travel this country in an early
day.
"One early history is that related by Com
missioner Shenk, of Allen county, about the
famous roads of Paulding county. Back in
''sixties" atraveler left Delphos for Pdulding
Going few miles north on the tow-path he
came to two diverging roads both leading
eventually to his destination. Of boy stand.
ing near the stranger asked which was the
better road. The boy, familiar with both
thoroughfares, said:
"You go down the right hand road one mile
and then you will wish you we're on the left
hand road. You then come back and take
the left hand highway, and after going the
same distance on it, you will wish you were
in hell"
NEEDED NO ASSISTANCE.
"About the year 80, farmer. living near
Spencerville was en- route to the canal me-
tropolis, on shank's horses, when he espied a
stranger stuck in the mud, up to his waist,
right in the middle of the road. Thinking
the fellow i'll distress, he asked him if he
needed assistance. The answer was corker.

der me-"
