CATHERINE OILERS history of
Rawson, written for her history class
at Bluffton college and now appear
ing the The BlufftSn News, is more
timely than we hadNRt first realized.
Next year Rawson WI celebrate its
centennial birthday.
1t was in 1856 that the Irishman,
Frederick Keller, plated the village
and started to sell Id S on the
strength that the Lake Erie and
Western railroad would son be COM
ing through town. ,-.i'
Rawson will celet#at the
occasion next year at }he annual
Homecoming, and it Jan be ex-
pected that there vii be excite
ment aplenty for the big event.
Earl Hoch has already started to
gather historical data for the
observance.
He didn't have to go far to dig up
a few items of early Rawson days.
Right in the store he reAntly took
over to operate as The Varaety Store,
Earl found an 1890 price catalogue of
Whitall Tatum and Co., Realers in
druggists supplies. InsidN the cata.
logue was business car8 of M. T,
Mckinley, editor and piiblisher OF
The Rawson Herald, established in
80.
The Herald boastedsa a circula-
tion of $50 copies ard Mr.. Nc
Kinley advertised his shop as the
Herald Chemical Printing Works.

style type of the day, the card
was vari-colOred starting with a
green and blending into orange,
blue and red. A

AMOS KLINGLER tells US thai
raccoons are quite a ppblem in loca
sweet corn patches. They don't come
alone to dine, but are inclined tc
bring their entire family, Klinglel
says, and can surely play hob with 6
patch of corn.
Back in the day of Joe Col
lege's raccoon coat, she ringtails
but now a coon hhnter counts
himself fortunate to get $3.50.
The result is that coons are in
greater abundance than ever be-
fore.

The following is the second
part in a series of historical
items about the Village q Raw
son taken from a paper *ritten
by Miss Diller for her history
class at Bluffton College. Raw
son is preparing to celebrate its
centennial anniversary next year.
We must not forget the livery
stable. In 1898, c. C. Latham moved
to Rawson at the age of twenty -one
with his wife and son Paul, aow a
Rawson businessman (Latham's
Garagel. Mrs. Latham stillE lives
next door to us and is in her eighties.
The streetcar line from Toledo nnade
the livery stable a prosperous sbusi-
ness, because travelling salGmen
often stopped to hire a horse and
buggy for travelling in the com.
munity. The rates ran $1.00 "a trip
to Benton Ridge (about four mnes)
$3.50 to Jenera; and $500 a trip tc
Benton Ridge, Pandora and Mt. Eory
in a day. Statesmen who brdhght
great trunks of their wares askeC
for the big sample wagon, a buggy
built especially for carrying bull
goods. 1t required a team to pub it
Also the oilmen hired them to go tt
and from work.
Another thing Latham did was tt
check telephone lines for breaks b!
climbing the pole at the A T and u
station south of Rawson and calliDt
Beaverdam. If the pole man couldn'
reach Beaverdam, it was assunIet
that the line in that direction wa
broken; so he drove the buggy a
that direction until the trouble wa,
located. He often had to drive due
ing the cold of winter and build D
fire and stay until the line was re-
paired.
