Bouquet of Exchanges.
Wayne County farmers are certainly
pretty gullible, as will be seen by the
following scheme worked by two sharpers
last week: The, men came into the
northern part of the county. Each was
driving fairly good horse and wagon
loaded with empty crates used in ship
ping poultry. They stated that they
only wanted the choicest birds for which
they would pay trihe more than the
market price. To the farmers who had
poultry for sale they explained, after
pulling a crate or two from the wagons.
that they had long drive to make and
would not be back until late that day,
they would like to have them weigh the
chickens and place them in the coOps
and have the cOOps at The gate
or close to the road so that no
time would be lost when they come
along. 1t has been learned that quite a
number Of farmers were foolish enough
to do as the fellows wished. The men
simply loaded up the cOOps and departed,
neglecting to pay the owners for them.
1t is supposed that the men secured sew
eral tons of poultry in this way.-Ash-
land Gazette.
There no longer remains any doubt in
the minds Of those who have watched
matters at the brass works during the
past few weeks, that that institution will
soon resume operations. Rumors to that
effect have been flying thick and fast,
but nothing definite could be learned,
although it has been known that during
that time B. L. Rouse has visited the
building at least dozen times. 1t
leaked out in a certain downtown res
taurant the other evening that the works
would be positively started before anOth-
er six months rolled around. -LOrain

means anxious. Huron County News.
Another attempt was made early Tues
day morning to burglarize the clothing
store of j. P. Hickman, of this village.
Entrance was attempted by forcing the
fastening of the rear door, when Henry
Dorm, who sleeps in the store, appre-
hended the fact and stopped the proceed
ings by opening the door and firing three
shots at the fleeing robbers. Two pinch
bars were left at the door by the burg
rs.-CrestOn Journal.

One of the most interesting and long
to be remembered events in the history
of the Congregational Church in this
place was the re-dedicatiOn, last Satur-
day and Sunday Of its rebuilt and re
nodded house of worship. More than
twenty weeks it had been under process
Of rebuilding, during which its usual
services had been held in opera hall
and the return to it was like the return
to the old paterual roof-tree to the weary
md homeless Wanderer. Lodi Review.
