An Interesting Find.

a remarkable discovery was made by
George Parsons and Will Beverly while
blowing, on the farm of l. b. Wolfe,
west of town. The plow turned up a
copper kettle, of great age, the contents
of which are now on exhibition at this
office, and consist of alternate layers of
human hair and birch bark. The hair il
evidently the remains of scalps taken by
the Indians and some of it light in color,
On the top were clasp knife and wood
Ell spoon, both hardly identitiable OH ac-
count of age. The hair contained orn-
aments Of silver, beads, etc. with which
all savage races decorate their trophies,
and the whole collection is exciting
much speculation and interest. a large
silver cross was plowed up later i'll the
same locality, bearing the letters r. c.
/ The age of the collection is estimated al
from 20 to over 100 years.
LATER-Further investigation has dis.
closed the skeleton of white man mid.
die aged, and well preserved. Another
kettle and several other interesting
relics were added. a solution of thi:
mystery is awaited with interest.

The good roads meeting III the coun-
Gil rooms Wednesday night was enthu-
siastic and largely attended. The SEN
timent was unanimous that some means
should be found to improve the high
ways leading to Alma and permanent
organization was formed with Simon
Messenger, president; O. f. Brown, Sec
retary and G. S. Ward, treasurer.
1t was decided to raise money by sub
scription among the business men,
which funds should be applied to the
purchase of gravel and tile and the
wages of shovelers, as well as a first
class road man to supervise the whole
job.
A committee for solicitation of labor
from the farmers was appointed, con-
sisting of j. s. Caple and 9. f. Brown.
5. Messenger, l.. II. Hayt and Win Will
son were appointed to solicit funds. No
organization ever formed in the village
has had a more laudable object. The
dull seasons of spring and fall when our
highways are almost impossible, can be
greatly obviated and transportation,
now laborious. made Il pleasure.
The reviving good times, together
with our increased capacity as market
for produce, make the movement well
timed. Success to it.

They VIII Handle the New Lake and Rail
business OF the BALTIC 81 Ohio x. x.
The recent report of the Baltimore &,
Ohio railroad had made two important
lake connections, one to Duluth and the
Northwest. via Northern Steamship line.
and the other 10 Chicago and Milwaukee,
via the owen line. through Fairport, d.,
has created some interest In the size ard
capacity of the docks at Falrport. FAR
port is the Lake Erie terminus Of the
Pittsburg & Western railroad, which as
is well known, is practically a b. & o..
property. although under separa,e man-
agement. For some years the Fairport
Warehouse & Elevator Company, which
owns the docks and the facilities a. that
point. has been spending a great deal Of
money for the purpose of putting the
plant in the very best possible condition
10 handle a very large lake and rail traffic.
The docks are 200 feet in length and
contain two steel frame iron clad ware
houses. each 4G5x90 feet with a capacity
of $4,000 barrels. ard there Is. IN adai-
ton. a one million bushel iron-clad grain
elevator. The channel is being orcdged
from the mouth of the river 10 the docks
and. when completed, a depth Of Is feet
of water will be maintained. The Fair
port terminal was opened for lake and
rail package freight and grain traffic on
April Is. 1891. From 1881 TO 1895 there
were handled 2SS7OO tons Of east-bound
and 129.562 tons of west-bound package
freight. or a total Of 1922 tons for the
five seasons. an average of S2,652 tons a
season. Last year there were handled
182. 26t tons of east-bound and 2,S'9 tons
OF vest-bound package freight. showing
an increase Of 81 per cent over the aver
age for the previous five years.
Fairport has also handled considerable
grain. From 1891 to 1895 the total was
2.7ii972 bushels. or an average OF a4As'i
bushels a season. making about medium
sized cargoes: but during the time navi-
cation was open in 1895 there was handled
S162 $50 bushels of grain. or "A $40 times
more than during the previous D seasons.
More grain was handled during the
first 40 days Of the season of 1896 than
was handled during the first five years
that the terminals were in operation.
Now that both the Great Northern and
Owen lines of steamships will trade be-
tween Fairport and the upper lakes and
Chicago and Milwaukee it is confidently
expected that the business will be very
largely increased this year, as the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad is in better shape
n handle bulk and package freight than
IL has ever been in the past.
