NJ. E. Williams, G. E. Falor and
c. A. Bittner are in the city repre-
senting the Buckeye View Company,
of Akron, Ohio, and are doing con-
siderable work in taking the inter

the asylum.
A child of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph
Linkes had the misfortune to
step on rusty nail Saturday,
and has been suffering considerably
since. AS we go to press she is
improving, and will likely recover,
although blood poisoning of a serious
nature was feared.
Mrs. A. Sellers died at her home
on Pine street last Thursday, and
was buried Saturday, the re-
mains being inferred in the city
cemetery. The deceased was a
widow, her husband having died
about year ago. She leaves one
daughter to mourn her death.
The two Odd Fellows lodges of
Ashland were united and became
one last Monday evening, and the
event was made the occasion for a
big gathering of Odd Fellows from
surrounding towns, Washburn in
cluded who helped the Ashland
brethren to celebrate.
A big Sunday School picnic has
been planned to be held on Made

For the occasion the Plowboy will

of appeal will depend.
John Halloran has been very poor
ly for the past week or two and was
taken away Sunday for the purpose
of receiving medical treatment. Mr..
Halloran has long been one of Wash
burns leading citizens, and all hope
to see him back again in very
short time fully recovered from the
trouble which is now bothering him.
The TINES has been requested
to call attention to the fact that
Canadian thistles. and other noxious
weeds, have become very plentiful,
and it seems that some official action
should be taken by the town to weed
them out. The amount of rag weed
is also a matter that should receive
attention, as it is very unhealthful
and hay fever patients cannot re-
main where it exists.
Quaterly meeting services will be
held at the Methodist Church next
