Middletown transcript., 1891-10-01

between Allerton and Nancy Hanks,
at Lexington, KY, on October 18th,
next.
= George Powell, who was here
two weeks for the purpose of taking
photographs is now located at Smyr-
ma. Some one discovered the fact
that he had no license, consequently
he..had to-invest twenty of his hard
earned dollars in the necessary war
rant procured from Clerk of the
Peace w. P. Biggs.
- On Monday evening, Messrs. G.
W. w. Naudain, Henry Clayton, NJ.
Kumpel and DIR. 7. H. Gilpin, of the
Middletown Board of Town Commits
sioners, visited Newark to inspect the
electric light system and make an in
spection of the town. They were
taken in charge by the members OF
Newark council and made to feel at
home by presenting them with the
freedom of the city.
- Twenty foot machines for the
shirt factory are now at the depot
and will be put up at once in the old
TRANSCRIPT building. An opportu-
nifty will then be given operators to
have two weeks preparatory work in
learning the intricacies Of the trade
and this is chance which should be
taken advantage of at once. Those
learning in this way will have
no special hours to, put in but are to
merely learn something about the
work
= A serious mistake was made in
the last issue of The TRANsCkIIT
which we wish 10 correct. Through
this mistake it was male to appear
that the tax receiver had only col
lected $2,S50 of the taxes levied on
property in st. Georges hundred.
The truth of the matter is that Mr..
Dickey has collected about $1,000 of
the county and poor tax and 81, $50 Of
the road tax. This hundred has paid
more than any other rural hundred
and about one-half of her assessment.
= DIR. J. c. McCoy's flyer, Fascin-
ation," won the race in the 2.26 class |
at Dover last Friday in three straight |
heats. The race was the best of the |
many which took place during the
fair and was well contested. Horse
men of this locality are very proud |
Of the many good horses owned by
DIR. Mccoy and with good reason, as
Maple Valley Stock Farm, is near
and the fast ones reared
there generally either win or make
hard fight in race. Fascination"
attracts a great deal of attention
wherever he goes by his good, steady,
honest trotting and by his great
beauty. He is the kind of a horse
people delight to look upon he is
Intelligent looking and always seems
10 know exactly what is required of
1im.
