Death of Mrs. Erne LaFarree.

Lille M. Robinson was born March
1st, 1871, in Liberty township, Wood
County, o., and was married June 18th,
1890, to Erne LaFarree, at her home
near Dunbridge. In the fall of 1890
they moved to Perrysburg where she
died February 1st, 1898, of Erysipelas.
She leaves husband and two small
children, the youngest little girl only
two days old.
Deceased was a member OF the
United Brethren church of Bowling,
and lived Il consistent christian life.
The funeral services were on Fri.
day at the NJ. L. church, conducted by
Rev. Fletcher of Bowling.
Although Mrs. LaFarree had been a
resident of this village but short
time she had won many friends and
her death is deeply regretted.

He's q Hustler.

Frank Sampson, who has been
located at Wapakoneta rs agent for
the Mccormick machines, has left that
place and located at ST. Marys and the
Argus speaks OF him thus:
Mr.. Sampson Is located here as the
representative of Hauss & Folk, who
have the agency in this county for the
Mccormick. He is an energetic, hon.
orable young man and has already sold
twenty-seven McCormicks in this
locality.
Sampson had been there but two
weeks, and must surely be hustler to
sell that many machines In SO short q
time.

Too Much for Us.

The following item if taken from the
B. G. Sentinel
The new K. of P. Lodge at Custar
was started off Tuesday with bright
prospects, the unusual large charter
membership OF So names appearing
upon the roll, all from among repre-
sentative citizens. No accident mar
red the pleasure of the occasion, ex-
cept that Blue, OF Perrysburg, who WAS
present, had the misfortune to fall into
u pig-pen, and it became necessary to
throw bottle of Maumee River water
into the sty to separate him from the
other inmates.
The above item is dream Of Peek-a-
Boo Morrison, the photographer OF
Bowling Green, with few additions
by Roscoe George and Chas. Jay Fin
ney - polished and embellished bv
Pretty p. Rudolph of the Sentinel, and
we are happy to say that SO far as the
item refers to the editor of the JOUR.
NAL there is not one word of truth in
1t. The JOURNAL man has always con-
sidered that he was pretty good liar
himself, but when tho citizens OF B. G..
hold mass meeting for the purpose OF
getting up lie on us and then call in
old Rudolph to polish the thing up we
acknowledge that they are little too
much for us. We can do a pretty good
job OF single hand prevaricatins but
when it comes to q wholesale mass con.
vention job of lying like Rudulph and
his B. G. assistants do, we confess we
''ain in it, and are willing to throw
up the sponge.
