1t is probable that inside of two

Quite compliment indeed was
that paid one of Holgates young ladies
by the evangelist Monday, who is hold
ing series of meetings in Chicago, by
singing her out of crowd number
ing in thethousands and requesting

assisting him during his stay there.
BY the almost constant hauling of
gravel from the Ridge to the terminus
of the gravel road leading from Ma
poleon. the wagons have deposited a
layer of gravel along the line which
when little more is added to it, we
can say the roads are piked from the
Ridge to Napoleon.
-Silas Mccullough, as is bis custom
when he has enough money, "bowled"
up last Friday and getting noisy was
locked up and failing to furnish the
amount ofhis fine, was saved from q
term of manual labor in the stoneyard
by the slgniture of one of our business
men to paper asking that he have a
couple weeks time to pay the fine.
The men who hawl gravel drive
nearly 40 miles day, 20 of which their
horses pull a heavy load that is rapid
ly destructive to horse-fiesh. A large
number of the teamsters have quit
work claiming the price paid per load
is shamefully low, namely $1.50. Two
dollars load is the price wanted and
if this is not soon paid the gravelling
of Kalida Pike is liable to come to a
standstill.
The circus which struck Holgate
last week was the slimmest thing in
the show-line that has visited our town
for "many-a-moon". 1t was strongly
evident that it was the remnant Of a
one horse concern. We were Informed
by one of the show-men that they
were struck by cyclone while carry.
ing on the show in Missouri, which we
did not dare say but inwardly believed
to be true from the 'shook-upn like
appearance of the company.

sented Burke and Cameron of Defiance

fore q higher court, On the 9Th Of last
