Last Thursday, on complaint of l.. r.
Osborn of Hamilton, AndrewJ. johnson
of the same place was arraigned on a
charge of assault and battery. Mr. John
son pleaded guilty and, after hearing
both sides of the story, the justice con
cluded that neither party was entirely
blameless in the matter and so levied an
assessment of thirteen dollars against
Mr.. johnson, which he promptly paid
There is an argument used by old
fogies as follows: 81 don't buy goods
from firms who advertise, because the
fellow who advertises must increase the
price to pay for his advertising" This
is parallel of the question: Does the
substitution of steamboats, for sailing
vessels increase the cost of carrying;
does the substitution of railroads for
stage coaches increase the cost of travel
ing? The substitution of advertising
has doubled E. Smith Il Co.'S sales, hence
half the usual profit is divided with
their patrons.
On Thursday last, County Agent j. G.
Gould made a complaint before Justice
Rowland against Minnie Connolly, girl
of sixteen, alleging her to be disorderly
person. The girl has been raised in the
Coldwater public school, and has, at diff
ferent times, been placed in private fami-
lies, but proved to be wholly incorrigible.
For some weeks past, Mr.. Gould has had
her in her own family. She pleaded
guilty to the charge and was committed
to the State Industrial Home for Girls
at Adrian until she shall reach the age
of twenty-one years. The sentence being
approved by the judge of probate, Mr..
Gould at once took the girl to the home.
