On that date George Bell, the appointed carrier, will make his first trip over the route heretofore described in this paper.

The citv dailies often poke fun at the country press for the trivial matters that often appear in the local columns, but if the country editor printed one-half the bosh that appears in the city papers he would be run out of town on a rail. No matters so sacred but are ridiculed, no family so secluded but that their private matters are brought out before the public and dilated upon, no man so honorable but what if it suits the idea of the publisher his name is made a by-word, and no man so indecent but that he is made a paragon of virtue if the best good of the paper demands it. Let the city press reform and then it will be proper for them to criticise the rural press and not until then. The mammoth store of Niblick & Co. is being remedied and undergoing a number of decided improvements which will assist them greatly in looking after their large business.

Archways into the various departments will be made in such a manner that the cashier can see all parts of the store. A new cash carrier system will be placed in position and when all is complete the Niblick & Co.’s store will be a model in they way of neatness. On account of this remodeling the firm is advertising a great bargain sale, notice of which will be found on our eighth page this week. Read their offers and profit thereby.

The line will be started in about a week or ten days or just as soon as the poles which have already been ordered arrive, and will be completed within sixty days. A line of poles will be constructed from here to Preble, thence to Magley. About a mile east of Preble another line will branch off, going through Hoagland,',', illiamsport and Williams to Fort Wayne. The line will lie a good one when completed, and shows the enterprise of the company which should be appreciated by our citizens

Pease of Toledo, is visiting Mrs. Perry Crabbs at her residence on South Second street Mrs. Pease is a local reporter for the “Bee.” R. K.
