NOTICE is HEREBY GIVEN THAT A
IN petition Will be presented to the County
Commissioners of Mercer County, Ohio, at
their regular session September l, A.D. 1913,
praying for the vacation of a county road

point where said road intersects with
King street, in the Incorporated Village of
Rockford, Ohio, and extending south and
east one square to where the same inter
sects East street, in said village, extend
south, for the reason it is not uniform and
is no longer of use to the public, and as the

gerous to public travel. Your petitioners
further say that the vacation of this road
will not be detrimental to the general in
terests of the public, but Will be to the in
terests of the public welfare generally.
Done this 9th day of August, AID. 1913.

VXTEHV not give your lad

when was growing lad. and came
upon many words in my reading that
did not understand, my mother, in
stead of giving me the definition when
applied to her, uniformly sent me to =
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in questiOn-amOng other things,
how to use a dictionary, and, the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after less
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the Unabridged of those

So far ny knowledge extends, it is

all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries In
