The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1898-07-14


@. M. Bowlby, the gentlemanly
storekeeper at the o. p. was In the
city last Thursday on business in
connection with the Probate Court
in regards to the settling up of an
estate. While in the city our old
friend paid our sanctum a social
visit. Come again Chas. our latch
string always hangs on the outside.
Mr.. p. o. Priest, travelling repre-
sentative of the Columbus Evening
Dispatch was in the city Monday
and Tuesday In the interest of that
journal. While here he distributed
a number of muslin caps among
the boys on which appeared the ad-
vertIsement of the Dispatch. Mr..
Priest is one of those jolly whole
souled fellow whom it is a pleasure
to meet and cannot but make
friends for the paper he represents,
where ever he goes.
Messrs Elmer Tetrick, Bert Robin
son, Will Geers, Oscar Johnson, Isaac
Rollison, James Mooney, Frank
Saylor and r. S. Butterworth of Jobs
were in the city yesterday called
here as witnesses in the case of the
State of Ohio vs. VIM. Hanning who
was arrested charged with selling in
toxicating liquors in local option
township. The case was tried before
his Honor Probate Judge Riason
who after hearing the evidence and
weighing it well found the defendent
guilty and fined him 800 and costs
and gave HIM 20 days in the Colum-
bus work house.
Mr.. Geo. Bishop had quite an ex-
citing experience yesterday which
only for his nerve and pluck might
have resulted in serious runaway,
while as it is he has pair of broken
shafts and harness. About three
O'Clock he was driving east on Hun
ter st. near Market on his way to the
cemetery when his horse frightened
at passing traction engine and
thresher and began to rear and
plunge and began in very forcible
manner to make kindling wood of
the dash board. Geo. soon had his
horse quieted down however before
the entire wagon was demolished.
The incident attracted quite a crowd.
The Nelsonville Board of Educa-
tion is trying to put on airs. At a
recent meeting of the Board held
for the purpose of selecting II sue.
cessor to Supt. Coultrap who resign.
ed, these men of learning could not
find a man learned enough in Ohio
a state noted for its high grade OF
school work, but went out onto the
wild western plains of Kansas tC
get a superintendent whom they
thought worthy to battle with the
brains of "Young America" of that
portion of our hemisphere WHEREOF
the pride Of Athens county, Nelson
vile, is planted. This is surely
very encouraging to those of our ris
ing generation who spend years in
an honest effort to fit themselves tt
become competant as teachers.
If certain rumors are true Logar
is about to lose one of her manu-
featuring plants. Quite recently
we were informed that the pro
prietors of the Logan Plow Works
better known as the Motherwel
Iron & Steel Company have under
consideration the removal of theil
plant to Bellevue, Ohio, having re
ceived very favorable proposition
from that town. II. such is fact |
will be calamity to our little city
not only because of the prominenc'
such plant gives our town bu
also in the employment 1t gives t.
a mum ber of our laboring men, thu
. plant employing about sixty mel
. and boys. We hope the proprietor
will reconsider action of moving
their plant, If such has been thei
intention and remain among us.
