CAT WHICH CATCHES SNAKES.
There is someone residing in the
neighborhood OF Wilmington and
Brandywine Cemetery who owns fine
Angora cat, remarked a business man
TO the Wayfarer this morning. Il have
noticed It frequently, and once in par
ticular it attracted my attention. 1 was
walking in the cemetery, looking
around, when / saw this cat coming
towards me, with its head thrown well
back and holding some wriggling thing
in its mouth. Closer inspection show
ed me that its prey was a large snake
which was making strenuous efforts to
escape. ! felt tempted to help the cat
finish a job so cleverly begun, but she
seemed so happy over her catch that
permitted her to proceed on her way
without interference"

THINKING OF THE PAST.

About a year and a-half ago an ac-
quaintance Of the Wayfarer's married
a nice girl and settled down to house
keeping. Some months ago baby came
20 bless the home, and the happiness
of the young couple was complete.
Now, babies have a habit of turning
night into day for the old folks, and
this cherub was no exception. It's IA
ther and mother might be tired out,
but that cut no figure if the little one
wanted TO be walked up and down the
floor for an hour or two.
One night recently the baby in ques-
ton had a touch OF collie It cried lus-
tily and TO the sleepy parents it be-
came apparent that there was some
foor-walking ahead
i've been dragging under the baby
all day long, dear, and ! think you
might walk her to sleep" said the
young wife, pleadingly.
He was good-natured and got up
His tired wife dropped off asleep and
when she awoke, few minutes later
she heard the baby Growing softly and
dreamily, while her husband was hum
ming the beautiful and familiar strains
of the L,ohengrin wedding march. She
didn't say anything but she closed hel
eyes, smiled to herself, and listened.

We have heard that report is being
circulated to the effect that e. L.
Ringsbury secured his nomination for
Sheriff through combination made
with Bowling Green politicians TO
whom he is said to have promised the
appointment OF deputy Sheriff, for the
assistance given in the convention.
The editor of the JOURNAL knows to a
positive certainty that no such combl-
nation was made; that Mr.. Kingsbury
is entirely free from any combination
or complications of any nature whatso-
eyer. He has made no promises to any
man, faction or clique, and refused,
point blank, any and all oyertures that
were made to him. The JOURNAL was
present when an offer of that nature
was made, and WAS pleased TO hear Mr..
Kingsbury say-''No sir; l will go
down to defeat before will make any
promises of any nature, whatsoever"
No clique or faction can claim the
honor of Kingsbury's nomination. II
was secured by virtue OF his own sterl-
ing worth throughout the county as &
man and a Republican, backed up BY
the solid support OF a loyal delegation
of energetic workers from his owl
township. No candidate ever made {
more honorable campaign than he, ant
he will be elected and his Office will b.
conducted as carefully as was his cam
paign for the nomination.

COMMUNICATED.

EDITOR JOURNAL: The large manu-.
factory that will soon be erected by the
Ford Bros. five miles east of this vii
lage, for making plate glass of which
they are the wealthiest and most
prominent manufacturers of the United
States, will give new impulses TO enter
prise at the north end of Wood county,
in which the citizens of Perrysburg
may participate very material benefits.
In addition to this important manu-
factory there is also that of j. c. Bon
ner who now owns the defunct swindle
the Wheel Factory. His patent de-
vice lsintended to convey products of all
kinds from the farm to points of business
and OF population for the purchase and
use OF its consumers. The city OF To-
ledo by its civic officers have granted
Mr.. Bonner the use OF its streets for the
period OF u year, in association the
street railway so that its merits may be
fully tested in matters of convenience,
and comparative cost OF freight to clti-
zens who are consumers.
Its utilization among the farmers of
Wood county is simply problem of ex-
pertinent for which the level grade, and
straight lines of it's roadways are we'll
adapted but the preparation of their
bed of travel for heavy conveyances and
the central points of accommodation
and concert OF action among the farmers
is feature in its methods that must be
arranged by business tact.
The English people in their Great
Western, and other railways have read
lily met the contingency of concert in
action gathering farm products at a
given place on the railway line, and
certain date with the time of day on
which farm product or classes of perish
able articles must be on hand for ship
ment. Col. Bonner will no doubt have
agents at work TO arrange all these
matters. When that is done, new era
in business will result between urban
and suburban regions of country, and
the welfare of the people will be pro-
NOTED by it.
Another matter that will be of much
Importance to the citizens of Perrys-
burg when it comes off is that of the
Ohio Centennial which will be cele-
brated in Toledo in three years from
now The business men OF the city are
now making preparations forlt. 1t will
be an event that will attract thousands
of people from all parts of this State and
thousands of people from other States.
1t will be to the people of Perrysburg
the grandest card of advertisement
that she will again have, and judicious
measures of attraction to the advantage
we possess here should be promptly
considered by our citizens generally so
that the benefits may be anticipated, by
making timely improvements that will
be in proper form so that it may attract
attention from visitors, previous to the
coming of the advance guard OF the vast
army OF visitors that are sure to visit
Perrysburg and its historic remains OF
the border warfare-Fort Meigs, and
the beautiful valley of the Maumee.
There is the cemetery improvement
and the roadway to Fort Meigs that
should be promptly completed.
Citizens think on this matter.
