Visited Uncle in Ohio and Carriage Maker in Logansport.

Mr. and Mr. Robert Michal and son, Judson, have returned from an enjoyable ten days’ visit with an uncle of Mr. Michal’s in eastern Ohio. He resides at Lafayette, Ohio, and has a farm acwss in Pennsylvaiia, which Robert and he visited. On their return home they visiteti at Ft. Wayne, Peru and Logansport, where Mr. Michal went to see John Jackson, who for many years was the leading carriage maker in tthis part of the country. He is now 87 years ofage and 'has been out of business for many years but talks with interest about his experiences in- the business and recalled sales of carriages and,spring wagons to many of the old residentsof Jasper county. " z Mr. Michal struck eastern Ohio right at the sugar maple sap period and visited the eamps. He reports that farmers through Ohio were plowing and that enroute through the state he saw probably 200 teams at work in the fields. There has been very little plowing in this pant of Indiana and pnbbably none near Rensselaer, althoug it is reported that there was quite a. little plowing up along the Kankakee river.
