that have farm within easy
reach of Logan, for sale, will dc
well to address "Perry Bolinger,
R. F. d. No. 2, Nelsonville, Ohio.
Perry would like to invest in real
estate. For the especial edifica-
tion of his many old friends ]
would like to state he is very nice
ly and pleasantly situated. A
good farm, with seven foot vein
of coal under it, good house with
a great big cellar jammed full of
good things, a big barn chuck full
of hay and grain and plenty of
stock to eat it, hogs to butcher, a
good wife and clear conscience.
Perry BolinGer is on easy street.
l had the pleasure of meeting r 4.
G. Campbell, who has charge of
District No. 8, school, Starr town
ship. Mr.. Campbell has an eight
months term and begar September
g. with an enrolment of 80; very
large to start.
The directors of No 8 are to be
congratulated on securing the SER
vices of Mr.. Campbell, as are the
scholars. He is competent and
agreeable, and by the scholars,
loved and honored. He gives
promise of an unusually successful
term and we wish him success.
On my way along the route /
met Mr.. and Mrs. j. f. Conner, of
Salt Creek township, on the look
out for farm in Starr. We hope
they will be successful in securing
home on their old stomping
grounds and among friends.
In the evening / reached j. W.
Groves. | was right at home.
The two little Cnes, "rare Jewels
set in pure gold," took charge of
me and showed me merry time.
| had to "nuss'' the baby and
crock the CRADLE while Mamma
got supper. We got along hugely,
the little ones and /, until supper
was ready, then we fell out. They
thought / was going to eat all the
"gravy." / enjoyed this stop
very much, more so, l expect, be-
cause l knew / was welcome, be-
sides I could smoke my pipe, chew
tobacco and spit in the fire, a
great sight of comfort to the old
man.
In the morning, but not quite as
early as usual, started out, hav-
ing, of course, received the usual
encouragement. BY noon l had
reached W. j. BethePs, where /
took dinner. Mr.. Bethel is the
son of EXProbate Judge Bethel,
of Athens county. He is highly
courteous gentleman,
and took to farming, not as a
necessity, but as pleasant,
healthful recreation. and his farm
bears evidence of a master hand,
there being no idle burs, briers or
weeds. l enjoyed the few minutes
with Mr.. and Mrs. Bethel very
much. On my way out to the
route / passed the barn where Mr..
Bethel showed me a five months
Did Percheron, a great deal pret-
tier than picture and the hand
somest colt | have ever saw. l
tried my best to find daw-I
presume because Mr.. Bethel wac
so proud of it--but L couldn't do |
Il. The colt is u beautiful bay, |
inclined to be dark, has perfect
action, Sassy" pert appearance
and good feet, and, in my judg-
nent, is perfection.
In a short time reached Amos

who took the complete outfit, viz
