Mr. +. o. Ploutz attorney for Mrs. Ann
NJ. Stem, of this county, has succeeded in
disposing of a very interesting case, in which
Mrs. Ann NJ. Stem and children were plain
tifrs and Mr.. Stem ct al, of Ohio, defendants.
The case was as follows: About Is years ago
Washington Stem, husband of Ann NJ. Stem,
left Maryland, leaving his wife and children,
and went to Miami county, Ohio, where he
again married, and partly raised family of
children. He died leaving real estate of
considerable value, upon which there was a
mortgage, and lien of building and loan
association upon the buildings, both together
amounting to near the value of the property.
Mrs. Ann NJ Stem, the first wife, claimed her
dover interest in all the real estate in priority
to claim of second wife and children, the
mortgage and that of the building and loan
association, on the ground that she was never
divorced from her husband, was his only legal
wife, and was entitled to her dover interest
in all the real estate obtained by him during
her life time. The matter was contested by
the second wife and children, mortgage and
building association. The plaintiff in the
case was, however, successful in obtaining
her dover interest.

evening be unlavorable the festival will be

If the Oakland road is not fixed at once
there will be a necessity of getting another
supervisor appointed who will fix it properly.
For the last three years this road, which
might be as good as any in the county, with
as little work for the same number OF miles,
has been shamefully neglected. To use
stronger language it is disgrace to this or
any other county. People can scarcely go to
church with safety, and we with one voice are
tired Of it and mean to know who is to blame
and where the trouble lies. We admit this
has been an unusually hard year on roads,
and do not expect it to be macadamized, but
surely the water course can be changed from
the middle to the side of the road.
Many are complaining of their potatoes

huence among the Democrats Of Freedom district
has this to say about the Republicans: But what
surprises us most of all is species of Brown infat-
uaton which has inflicted prominent Republicans
in this district especially in sykesvi:le neighbor-
hood. They have openly ayowed their intention to
vote for Mr.. Brown for Governor, and we cannot
compare such Authorizations to anything else than
the servile affection which dog bestows upon his
acknowledged master"
Let prominent Republicans mark the insolent
tone of this seribber in the CtrroHionian, and am
sure they will resent as it deserves to be resented
and as gentlemen know how to vindicate them
selves when assailed in so viruent a manner.
