Wheelmen and the Law.

At the request of many bicycle riders of
this village and county, we publish the fol-
lowing extract from the Revised Statutes of
Ohio. A great deal of trouble has been oc-
casioned by the refusal or neglect of persons
to obey the plain law. We are informed
that the wheelmen have decided to make a
few vigorous prosecutions if necessary to in
force the application Of tile law. The fol-
lowing is the section referred to:
SECTION 1890. All persons driving car
riages or vehicles of any description or rid
inr on horseback on any turnpike or plank
road or upon any highway of this state, shall,
on meeting carriages or vehicles of any de-
scription or persons riding on horseback,
keep to the right SO as to leave half of the
road free; and if any person neglect or refuse
to comply with the provision of this section
or in any other manner hinder or obstruct
any person in the free passage of such road
ar highway, he shall on conviction thereof
before any Justice of the Peace or other
court having jurisdiction, be fined in any
sum not less than one dollar nor more
than twenty dollars, and the personso Of
Tending shall moreover be held liable to the
person aggrieved for any damages he may
sustain"

Who Ia IL {?

Nicoly painted buildings and nicely paper
ed rooms always attract attention, and those
who see them frequently ask the question,
Who is it that sells these paints Who is it
that sells these nice papersi The question
IN this section Of the county is usually an
swered by saying that Saur & Balsley carry
the largest and most eompl, to stock, and We
presume they sell great deal Of paint and
paper. They are vide-awake and energetic,
always on hand with the very latest and the
best at the lowest prices ruling anywhere.
At present this house is making a special
effort to reduce their stock, and in order to
make great inducements to buy now they
have reduced the prices on nearly everything
in the line of paper and paints which makes
them so cheap that almost everybody who
owns property can afford to buy them.

Tramps,

The law regarding tramps and beggers is
much stricter than most people have any idea
of. Section $685. of the Revised Statutes
provides that any tramp, not belonging in
the county, who begs, or who enters dwell
ling house or yard against the will or with
out the permission of the owner, or does not
leave the premises when requested, or is
found carrying firearm, shall be imprisoned
in the penitentiary not more than three
years or less than one year. Anyone may ap-
prehend such person and appear against
him. If fthis law were rigidly enforced, the
tramps and vagrants would have hard time
of it and our state prison would fill to over
flowing. Whether it would lesson the evil
or not is question not easily answered.

They Have 1t Down Pat.

Flirting, which several years ago was car
ried on IN desultory way. has been reduced
to such precision and accuracy that it will
soon be classed among the languages.
People on Perry street were somewhat
amused last week Sy a pantomime of this
kind being carried on by brace of girls in
the court house tower and several young fell
lows 15O feet below, who happened to be
sizing up the goddess of Justice, and caught
the keynote" Intelligence was waited to
and fro to their hearts content. 1t is great
accomplishment and for short range rivals
the telephone.

Napoleon has long enjoyed the reputation of
beautiful city and why not retain it? While
there are many who take pride in identifying
their premises there are few of us who, re
gardless of wealth, are careless in keeping in

ing that enhances the general appearance of

Married at Ann Arbor.

Friends of the contracting parties will be
surprised to learn of the marriage of Frank
D. Foust and Miss Marie Dodd, which happy
event took place July 18th, 1890, at Ann Ar
Dor, Michigan. Frank stole a march on his
acquaintances and slyly slipped off to our
sister state and had Rev. John A. Rust per-
form the ceremony. But the greater
march was in keeping it secret for a
year.
They are both we'll known in Napoleon and
have hosts of friends who wish them pros
porous and happy journey through life in
this new estate. Napoleon will be their fu-
ture home.

We Have at Least Plentiful Brousing.

People of our town who have become
chronic grumblers should read the graphic
account in the dispatches of family at Pine
City, small hamlet in Minnesota, where
the father was eaten by wolves while in an
intoxicated condition. The mother and
three children were left without food. As a
last resort the two younger ones were killed
and eaten. Later on the mother and girl
were found in the woods by fishing party,
the former mad as a March hare while the
latter was very much played out and will
probably die.
Such narrowing tales as this are plentiful
in the western states and other countries.
Look around you, compare our condition
with theirs and go straightway and register
a resolve never more to kick.
