J. S. Walker sent AZ pound Spoonbill Catfish
to J. W. Morrow. last Friday. from Steubenville.
It was about four feet long. and had spoon
shaped bill fully Is inches in length. It was
caught in the Ohio at Steubenville. and was alive
when started for Ravenna. but died en- route.
Mr. Joe Cline. the taxidermistwho recently came
here from Chagrin Falls. will stuff the skin of
the huge catch. and add it to his collection. The
fish is rarely found in the Ohio. Mr.. M orrow
served the fish to his guests.
Mr.. A. c. Williams. proprietor of the sadiron
Works. informs us that he expects to commence
full operations at the plant by next Monday and
thinks the first heat will be taken from the
cupola next Saturday. The wheels have been
turning for week and some work done in re-
dressing a lot of irons that went through the
Chagrin Falls fire.
Mr.. Williams has erected a magnificent estab-
llshment. 1t is roomy and convenient and the
equipment is new throughout. We should judge
0.000 to be of the two an under estimate of the
cost. The factory has capacity of 900 sad
irons per day, and will be started with force
of one hundred hands, if that number can be
obtained. Mr.. Williams is well pleased with
bis plant and the railroad facilities brought
right to the door of his establishment. The ex
penditure of public funds for the public good
was never better carried out than here. Mr..
Williams cannot be any better pleased wit h
Ravenna than Rayenna is with him ard the
splendid iniusiry he brought with him
