The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1894-04-21
washington Township.

Where has our ex.correspondent
gone AS we see no news from this
section, 1t occurs to us that he or
she must have abscooted.
We were very much elated over
the fine prospect for u heavy fruit
crop until Easter night when our
hopes were nipped almost If not en-
tirely as the heavy frost killed all
the fruit so we think nov this 10th
day of April, 1894 and in the mean
time has done some damage to the
wheat and oats that were sOwn, al. |
so the young clover and garden
truck that was planted and not II |
few potatoes were frozen which
our early planters had planted.
The prospect now is much in the
shape of IA late spring and so the
feed will be very closely fed up ere
pasture is large enough to support
the stock to feed thereon.
As a general thing stock has
gone through the winter in fair
living order and sheep are much
better this spring than for several
years.
Our election came off the End
and old Democracy shows up
grand victory, having elected every
officer except constable and he won
only by the scanty majority of six.
1t did seem as though the Republi-
cans had fort Giberalter on us
but we repulsed them just as
though no powers that be could
withstand the triumphant spirit of
never subduing Democracy.
Please mark us right in the line'of
the good old jackson Democracy.
One of the saddest events of our
Township that has met our register
of time for ii while occurred at the
Ewing school house on Saturday
night, the 31st of March, where
one VIM. Gordon, son of Flemming
Gordon, stabbed Charles Byers,
son of A. J Byers. both young men
with no former crime to blot their
history, yet they seem to have had
some former difference of opinion
which was soon kindled into com
but and while Byers was having
the best of the fray Gordon used
the knife with desperate effect
cutting Byers to the left lung and
perhaps penetrating it, making
the chances for recovery precarious
but at this writing our last report
was hopeful and trust it may. con
tnue to complete recovery.
The schools are out except one
in this TIP. and have been IL genera

The road question is most e,
citing one in the entire TIP. for 20

for three minutes unless you heH
some views expressed but onl

you can get the legislature to pa
a law to make the Improvement.
