Rev. w. M. Wickham of Luckey filled
his regular appointment here Sunday.
Quite number from here went over
to Perrysburg Friday evening to attend

! time.
1t is reported that Frank Wagoner's

Quite lot OF grain and hay is being
shipped from the Ridge.
S. E. Wagner has lost his dog and
don't know where to find him; he wore
two ticks upon his neck and short
stub tail behind him. The dog is long
and narrow built with spots of black
aud white, and if he sees u smaller dog
he always wants to fight. He totes his
tail up stiff and straight when he's tor
fun prepared, but points it downward
to the ground whenever he is scared.
This stump tail dog that now is lost
was Samuel's friend and crouy, but now,
alas, he sadly fears he's made up in
bologna.
We understand that in addition to
the above bad luck of S. E. Wagner
he has another case that is equally as
bad Its reported that Sam saw notice
in a paper advertising a recipe to pre-
vent horses from slobbering so he en-
closed the price $3.50 for the recipe.
When the information came, it said:
Teach your horse how to spit" So
we understand that S. e. is still feed
ing grass seed in preference to oats so
as TO gain the above results.
We are informed that one of our
young men of the Ridge who is some
what of a commercial traveller was call
Ping on friend few Sundays ago, and
as they sat down to dinner, he was sud-
denly called upon to ask the blessing,
and not being accustomed to itpromptly
tackled the difficulty in the following
words: I'VE acknowledge receipt of
your favor OF this date. Allow US to-
express our gratitude for the expression
of good will. Trusting that our house
may merit your confidence and that we
may haye many good orders from you
this fall, we are yours truly. Amen"
E. r. Metzger and wife returned
home from their wedding tour at Cleve-
land, last Thursday evening, and the
boys were on hand Saturday evening
with their bells and horns and to say
Ed. got belled would be putting it too
mild, for we are informed that the
Agent Rowe was in the crowd with
the same six foot horn, that he blew
when Mckinley was elected, so the
reader can Judge for himself as to the
noise that was made. However e. F.
put up the price for couple of eraser
and Brands most excellent; and Rowe
made few remarks suitable for the
occasion, and tiien the crowd and horns
scattered.
We understand that a new squad
made them visit since then with about
so horns. We don't know if they Jared
so we'll as the first brigade, but E. f.
says he has had the three degrees and
is now perfectly satisfied.
