Especial Correspondence9
Inland, April 24.-We want to make
a correction on the item in Wise and
Otherwise column concerning the
Green township snake. We want the
readers of the Democrat to know thar
green has neither such monstrous
snakes nor liars within her borders.
We think the narrator of that story
must hail from Lake, instead of
Green, if We may judge from the.
number of wild animals, especially
snakes, that are or have been, making
their appearance to citizens of that
place the past year or two. Lake may
have the credit of the yarn, anyhow.
Green has none of those institutions
within her borders that makes snakes.
The greatest snow storm within the
memory of the oldest inhabitants for
this time of the year struck this place
Friday and stayed right by us until
Sunday evening. A force of men with
shovels opened the road from Green's
burg to Greentown station, Monday
The road was entirely blocked to foot
travel horseback or vehicle. The
mail man was unable to get through
in fact, no vehicle passed over the
road at all Saturday or Sunday, some
thing that never happened before.
Rev. Harry Summers of Findlay, O.,
is visiting his parents at this place.
He will preach in the United Evangel-
ical church Sunday next.
Burton Rohrer returned to Hiram
college this morning.
The special meeting of the Board of
Education called for last Saturday
evening to consider the Aultman
school house site did not materlalize
on account of the snow storm.
Not church was open last Sunday
in this village.
All of the schools of this township
closed last Friday.

time ago the City Commissioners sent
blank petitions to the residents of
North Hill with the request that all
those who wanted water sign the
same. The people, or majority of
them, have held back waiting for some
one to agitate the matter. The result
is that only few have petitloned for
water. 1t Is now up to the people in
that end of the city. If enough sub,
scribe to make the revenue 500 for ey-
cry 1000 feet, mains will be laid.

Fifty More Canal Boats

should be said that the railroader had
stated the line would be owned and
operated by the Vanderbilts in con-
nection with the Z. & l.. e., Nickel
Plate, and Northern Ohio making the
shortest route between Pittsburg and
Chicago by II miles. Referring to the
shops he said:
II have no direct information on the
subject but from what l can learn
anticipate that railroad shops will
be built either in or a few miles west
of Akron. 1t would not surprise me
if site near Fairlawn was selected
The land in that vicinity is level and
there is plenty of room for yards
Akron seems to be the logical point
for shops

Business Man Wants to

the same sort of system here the canal

possible without an immense amount Of
additional labor to mark throughout the
exact authority on which these sugEeS-

We have received an offer from the
Kings printers in England to print at

In conclusion. the commission would
/ call attention tn the fact that by the
authorization Of such marginal readings
As are proposed no one will be Obliged
to use them if he shall prefer the words
of the existing version. wh1e to refuse
such authority is to wound tie conscience
of many who are persuaded of the in

such places compelled to read to their
people what is generally felt to be an
inaccurate rendering of the words of the

recommends the adoption of the following

Convention:
Resolved, That the marginal readings
