precluded any speaking for some
minutes.

.5.@ Adrian's NOndescript.

The band boys made friendly
visit to Adrian short time ago, not
for the purpose Of distinguishing
themselves but as one neighbor visits
another, and remind the people of
that place Of the fair date. For this
neighborly visit, they are given the
unwarranted write-up by the Mobiles

"A MUSICAL TREAT.
On last Saturday evening the So
called Worthington band, landed on

hand.shake with their few old cronies.
fell into line, marching to the State
Bank corner, (the county fair banner
being in full sway at all times.) At
the bank corner they endeavored to
dish out the melodious in great slices,
but without any meterial measure of
success. They at last came to bait,
and after short consultation the
thought of supper crept upon the un-
fortunates, which meant, of course, no
more music until they had done away
with square meal.

but it's existence was short, as the
horn manipulators soon discovered
their endeavors were met with no over
flow of praise, and such being the
case, the ranks became broken, and
from that time until the night freight
rolled into town, an occasional veil
would ring out through the darkness,
headed from some east.ender,. who
was suffering the penalty for his poor
Judgement in ordering mixed-drinks
early in the evening. The band,boys

The bAnd boys claim nothing but
the mest courteous treatment and

Adrain in the spirit that prompted it.

PLENTY ST WATER.
Worthington Has . Bountifnl
Supply Of Water.

IWOrthtngtOn Has Q B0untifdl
Supply Of Water.
Tuesday forenoon NJ. E. Lane test
ed the village we'll which he has put
down to . depth Of seventy-three feet.
Water was pumped out at the rate of
l6,0 900 gallons per hour the entire fore
noon from a depth Of about twelve
feet below the top Of the casing with
out diminishing the supply at all.
From this it will be seen that the wa
ter flows to within about twenty feet
Of the top of the ground in abundance.
The water is clear and sparkling and
pleasant to the taste. This supply
exceeds Mr.. Lanes contract by 5000
gallons an hour, and he is confident
that the supply will continue for a
satisfactory time should this prove
true, we have supply oflwater that
is inexhaustible which will be a great
benefit to the town. Mr.. Lane will
clean out the brick well after which
the work will be turned over to the
village and expects to get away from
here this week.
Mr. Lanes work demonstrates that
he is thoroughlyk experienced in the
water securing and his method of dis
posing of the earth taken from well
is of the most modern, and a decided
success. His outfit is a model of
convenience and constructed for wells
of most any depth. A failure to Sc
cure adequate supply of water is un-
known to him when he goes after it.
