TOUSSAINT DITCH.
County Commissioners Agree Up
on the Apportionment.

The commissioners of Wood, San
dusky aud Ottawa counties met for
final joint session on the Toussaint
ditch outlet matter, at Port Clinton
Wednesday of this week.
They came to an agreement regard
ing the outlet and apportioned the
amount of compensation from Wood
county for the same through Sandusky
and Ottawa as follows: To Ottawa
county $4,000, and Sl400 to Sandusky
county. Sandusky pays to Ottawa $500
for the benefit derived from the outlet.
Wood county's portion, $3400, is to be
paid so days after the completion of the
improvement to the Wood county line.
The contract between the commits
sioners of the different counties COT
tains a very wise PROVISION favorable
to Wood county. The contract reads:
That said Wood county by the pay
ment of this money is absolved from
all liability to Sandusky and Ottawa
counties arising from said improve
ment, and the same shall be accepted
by said Saudusky and Ottawa counties
in full OF all claims and demands
against said Wood county, and for any
and all benefit derived therefrom by
said Wood county, whether by drain
age or otherwise.
This Toussaint ditch outlet when
completed will drain 26, 600 acres OF land
in Wood county and the compensation
for the outlet across Sandusky and
Ottawa counties will be $3400. When
compared with the Two Root creek
ditch it will be seen that this arrange.
ment is very satisfactory.
The court of arbitration selected by
Wood and Ottawa counties for the Two
Root creek improvement assessed Wood
county $4,000 for the south branch ol
Two Root and $4,000 for the north
branch.
The two branches combined drain
2S, 900 acres of land or 1000 more than
Toussaint ditch Improvement, while
the difference between the cOmpensa-
ton of Two Root, $4,000, and the
Tonssaint $3400, is several thousand
dollars favorable to Wood county tax
payers. Sentinel.

Fleece Farmers.

For years and years the local news
popers have been telling OF how people
have been neeced and swindled by buy
Ing goods and wares Of strangers. How
sharpers have been able to get money
! for an article shoddy made and Ia no
their readers and an exposure of these
sharpers seems to have had as much
effect as bullet from an air gun
against a steel plato. We have come
to the conclusion that there is much
truth in Barnum's words, 1.-THE Ameri-
can people like to bo humbugged."
This brings to mind the steel range
fellows, who visited this community
farmers, selling several stoves. Those
who purchased stoves at that time have
now an opportunity of paying the fid-
dler or dancing to the music. A farmer
very well known bought one of the
stoves, or at least " was left in his pos
session "a year ago. The price agreed
upon was $40. You can buy a larger
aud better stove of any of our hardware
dealers for 5l4. a part of the deal was
hat the farmer was TO be allowed $40
for hls old stove, ana also he was to
board the sharpers, who gave him cou-
pons that were to apply on the pur-
chase price Of the stoye. These people
never consider deal closed until your
name is put upon paper. This farmer
did so, signing a contract as he sup
posed, but which now turns up in the
shape OF a note for $40 with interest.
a few days ago man presented him
self at the farmers and requested him
to take up the note, representing him
self to be the purchaser, and an inno-
cent one, of the note. In the deal made |
at the time OF the delivery OF the stove |
$50 was the balance to be paid, ard out
of the $50 several dollars for board were |
also to be taken. The fellow with the |
note declares he knew nothing of the |
old stove and tickets for meals In con-
nection with the trade and refuses to
accept anything but the face of the |
note and interest which he had bought. |
The holder Of the note threatens to
bring suit, and our farmer friend says
he will not pay it. What the outcome
will be remains to be seen. There is
moral to this deal which should not be |
permitted to escape the memory of any.
Never sign piece OF paper for a
stranger, turn the dogs loose upon the
sharpers and buy your goods of the
home merchant, who has reputation
TO sustain and from whom you can get
redress if the ware you purchase is not
as represented. d.-EXchange.
