j. H Fleisher shipped 3 cars of
sheep from Stuttgart Monday. SUIT
CART has probably sent as many cars
of stock as any small station on the
road. Mr.. Fleisher expects to visit
friends in Michigan before he re-
turns. 1t is getting dangerous re-
porting for the papers, now a days.
One gets his best friends on his back
if he says something's, while he suf-
fers the same fate if he leaves them
unsaid Verify, there is no tlOwery
path for the scribe. Died, Feb. s,
1889, George NJ, son of H g. and
Eliza Swisher Aged nine months
Little George was a remarkably
fine little fellow, and, when at church
or Sunday school, attracted the at
tentiOn Of all by his stout, good ma
tured appearance. He was the only
child of his atf1i cted parents and they
deeply feel their bereavement. 1t
seems vain to Off9r consolation to
hearts that are torn and bleeding from
! the rough touch of death, and all that
their sympathizing friends can do is
to point them to that source from
which all comforts come, and admOn-
! ish them to so order their lives that
I they may meet him in the better land.
HIS funeral took place at Bethel
/ church on Saturday. Well, well,
''BelmOntersr Ar'n't you ashamed
| to ''act the baby so? Listen: ped
in his message of last week insinuates
/ that Belmont township has been in
! the habit Of giving the railroad men
! their receipts for road tax without
their earning them" Now will our
! friends, ''BelmOnters, allow us to say
/ that we did not lnsinuate any such
! thing? Does the merely stating of
what one says 'Insinuate" against an
| other? We had no idea of rubbing
! the cuticle off any one by what we
said, and are very sorry that any took
exceptions to our little one horse To-
cal, which we only wrote to fill out a
page, and because we thought it was
! good sound business talk. In this
connection we Will say that we have
great respect for the friends who sign
themselves 'BelmOnters," 1--WE know
/ them.) We have reason to be CRATE
full for favOrs both personal and pO-
litical, and value their friendship sc
highly that we pen these lines, not to
apologize for wrong which we deny
! having committed, but to set Oursel1
right IN their eyes We have done
nothing wrong, and hope, as we are
not interested in the affairs of Bel
mont township, that they will accept
this In the spirit IN which it is extend
ed, and that friendships that have ex-
listed for so many years may not be
broken. We have been compliment
ed by these same BelmOnters where
we have taken certain stands on Ger
tain questions; they have been ready
to commend the interest which we
have taken IN our locality, and on DO
lltlcal questions have said we were
sound, yet they say we ''insinuate'
against them when we had not the
faintest idea that there was any room
for insinuatiOn. All know that we
have avoided writing anything that
had the appearance of personality, OF
have refrained from reporting un-
pleasant things or disturbances among
neighbOrs. This is all we shall say
on the matter, and hope that oul
friends will drag US over the Goals
personally. PED.
