Why Is 1t that young man can't
walk the streets of Holgate with girl
without being bushed and being made
the victim of cute remarks, often bord-
erine on indecent "cracks? ?" "E, your
out with your girl, hain't you ~ do
your mothers know your out2" Re-
marks similar to the above are made
IntermingIed with loud coughing, clear
ing of the throat, and the whistling OF
uAnna Roonie, p "Where did you get
that hat and other equally as
popular songs, while the promenaders
find themselves In good step to the
music. People who make any claim
whatever TO culture, look upon the ac-
tions of these street loafers asa decided
mark of ill-breeding.
LIN our last weeks correspondence
to the NORTHWEST we made mention
Of q few of Holgate's leading business
men, but through oversight and being
pressed for time, we failed to speak of
several who as business men, rank
among the first and most enterprising
In our Henry county's second city.
Probably no person In Holgate takes
more interest in the welfare and ad-
vancement of the town than does
Louis Pfahlert, the proprietor Of the
Worlds Fairn saloon and restaurant.
Mr.. Pfahlert can boast of one of the
incest fitted up billiard halls and res
taurants to be found In Ohio, even In
the largest cities. He has burned out
once, but by constant attention to busi--
ness he was soon able to rebuild and
now occupies two-story brick, the
upper part being used for dancing
hall. Mr.. p. Is always q liberal giver
for town improvements and 4th ofJuly
celebrations.
Mr.. Henry Voigt Is also one of Hol-
gates Oldest and most substantial BUSH
men. He came here shortly after his
brother, F. H., and Is now the head of
the meat market, Voigt, Bessling q Co.
Mr.. Voigt runs nice, clean meat
market and serves his many customers
with fresh meat. He owns consider
able property here and is always a
leader in everything that is for Hol-
gates good.
Geo. III. Lampman is our photog
rapher and since locating in Holgate
some five years ago, has done thriv-
ing business in his libe, and by skilled
workmanship and fully equipping
himself with all the modern appliances
| used IN photography, has established
for himself wide spread reputation.
Holgate has two jolly, good -natured
bakers in the persons of A. M. Tripp
and Rob't Ingle. They both enjoy a
good trade, one reason Ofsnccess being
they are both staunch Jeffersoniau
Democrats.
Holgate is blessed with three good
hotels--first-class in every respect
Harry J. Smith is proprietor of the
"Holgate House, and has made recent
decided improvements in its interior
and now handles the travelling public
in manner creditable to any first
class hotel.
| DIR. J. M. Townsend is manager o
the Commercial House, and has tn,
reputation of setting first-cIass table
The doctor is jovial fellow, Away
i with funny story on tap and 1t is /
1 pleasure to stop day with him. III,
runs hostlerv in connection with tht
hotel. Doc takes active part in move
i ments to advance the town and servet
as M; yor of this, his favorite town.
The Edwards House, is now unde
the control of Mr.. w. Ritch, who i
determined to keep 1t up to the higl
standard which made it pleasan
place to stop when Mrs. Geo. Edward
managedit.
Although not termed a ''peesness'
man, it takes wide-awake, true bust
ness man to act as postmaster in
place where as much mail is receives
and sent,as in Holgate. Holgate has al
! ideal p. P.M.-courteous, ever Obliging
genial, wide-awake and faithful In tn
discharge of his official duties. "Sol'

in that, he is Superintendent of tn
Presbyterian Sunday school and is
