direct to Silver Lake This necessitates
the crossing Of both divisions of the
Fig Four tracks and the motormen and
conductors on the cars cannot exercise
too much care when carrying passen-
gers over these places Both crossings
are dangerous ones and many accidents
have occurred there. The greatest
vigilance must therefore be exercised
by the conductors before they order
their cars to cross the tracks They

CARP
To be Entirely
Removed
From Big Celina
Reservoir.
SUCH A STEP
Would be a Good
One
At Our Resort Where These
Big Fellows Prey Upon
Bass and Other Fish.

The work of clearing the Celina
reservoir of carp is to be started at
once. The guarantee has been given
by the state officials at Columbus that
the exclusive privilege to catch the
carp will be given to VIM.
Decker, Cleveland man. His first
will be to establish num-
erous feeding places at which the carp
may be fattened, the small ones en-
couraged to grow and the giants to be-
come still more gigantic. He says that
after q few days the fish will learn to
come to the feeding places the game
as hogs or cattle learn where to find
provender. A large force of men will
be put to work to catch the fish.
Nor will Mr.. Decker's exclusive priv
ilege shut out other fishermen Ms hi g
rights includ carp only.
The carp that are too undersized
for shipping will be put back in the
water and allowed to grow until they
reach marketable size. Some of the
largest varieties reach an enormous
size. As fast as the carp are taxen
out other fish will be put in and it Is
hoped that by the time the carp are
out of the way the reservoir will re-
sume its old time prestige as the home
of the black bass and other favoritee
of the angler.
A few years ago when the public
waters of the State were stocked
with German carp. says the Celina
Standard. they were thought to be a
desirable addition. They proved to
be otherwise. They preyed upon the
spawn of other fish and the reservoir
fast became depopulated of the bass
and other well known piscatorial
species 30 that very few fishermer
could be found who had goo1 WORD
to say for the omniverous "critters. -
Once in a while some fisherman pro
nounced them good enough to eat and
bore them home in triumph, but th'
vote Of the majority was decidedly
against them either as a subject fol
the anglers skill or as the best fish fol
the table. Eastern palates are moi
so fsstidious as the bass fed native
of Mercer county. and the fact tina
the carp is regarded as a delicacy il
the fish markets of New York has ere
ated q demand for what has hithert
been regarded as much OF a nuisanc
in the reservoir as the English spar
row is about the field and door yards

An Old Timers Letter.

T. F. Mcfarland. Of Cabel, Ohio.
writes to the West Liberty Banner as
follows:
After reading your account Of the
late county fair at Bellefontsine l am
reminded Of the fact that / attended
the fair in Logan county fifty years
ago this fell and have thought that 1
might interest your readers for a mo-
ment in the narration of some things
in connection with the fair at that
time.
But few names, IL any, which were
familiar then appear now. / call to
mind a man named Csdwallader Wal
lace, who was conspicuous figure
among the exhibitors of fine cattle.
l recall, also. the name of one Charles
Folsom. who / think was one Of the
managers and a relative of the Fyffe
family of Urbana. The late James
Kenton, of Urbans, was the chief
marshal. I remember one afternoon
that more people went into the show
ring for horses than Jim thought ad-
visable and he became angered. and
dismounting took his seat on the root
of tree and loudly proclaimed that
when every man who had no business
in that ring went out the show would
go on, and he stuck to IL until his
command was needed. We were the
owner Of pair of horses at that time
that carried out the first premium,
being entered and driven by n. d.
Nichols, but as soon as 1t became
known that the horses did not belong
in the county the judges renigged.
But all these 1 have named have passed
away. The fair ground then was east
of the court house. the first woods OF
the left out Columbus street We re
member. also. a man who climbed or
the top of one of the buildings ant
walked back and forth on the comb o.
the building, much to the amusement
of those on the ground. He was undel
the influence of "too much wet ant
it was wonder TO those who saw 1
that he did not break his neck. Sc
much for the fair of 1854.
