Our Albion Column.

: BY INGOMAR. Lo Court opened promptly on Monday morning.

The week also opened with a snow torm from the east.

Court adjourned on Thursday until the following Monday. : ‘A saloon is in full blast in the west room of Howard’s hall.

Who shgll we have for our next marshal? i}:s the question. ‘Esq. Cunningham, of Gréen township, was in town on Monday. ““The Modern Theater Co.,”’ whatever that is, has been playing all week at Howard’s hall.

Hon. H. C. Stanley was in town on Wednesday and Thursday on road business before the county board. Dr. W. H. Clark, whose farm residence near town was burped last fall, will rebuild as soon as the season will permit. v

Friday morning brought us one of *the mest furious snow storms from the northeast we have had this wintér.

That old rumor is again on the wing that the B. & O. intends to abandon Garrett and erect shops at Milford Junction: :

Ex-County Commission'er Ohlwine, Ex-Sheriff Kiser, Ex-Auditor Kiser and Spautding McMann, all of Sparta, were in town on Thursday.

Frank Inscho, an exemplary young man, died on Saturday last at the residence of his parents, in Jefferson, of that terrible malady, Bright's disease.

So the Gold Spike 18 not dead but has only been sleeping ! Contractor Benjamin has been sick, but hopes to begin work on the road some time ‘in April. s ;

The grand jurors, Richard L. Stone, John Kiester, A. T. Morris, lsaiah Campbell, Joseph B. Franks and Frank Whan, have been very busy all the week. Dick Stone is foreman.

The old war veterans turned out promptly in the storm on Wednesday and thronged Mrs. Werden’s office all day. executing their vouchers for the March instaliment of their pensions. - Mrs. A. B. Young's mother, who has been on a three week’s visit with her daughter here, returned from a short visit to Chicago on Wednesday, and next day started for her home in New York. :

The mental condition of Simon T. Ward, who has been at the Logansport asylum for treatment, has not improved any ; though there has been some improvement in “his general health, the medical staff hold out but little hope as yet for recovery. The county commissioners met in regular session' on Monday, and ' that day being ‘‘saloon day,’’ some nine or ten license were granted. ‘The usual routine work of a March session was before the board and disposed of in the quiet, orderly manner characteristic of all its proceedings. = .

Frank Cook and Ed. Williams are perambulating the county taking orders for paper hanging, and have with them a well-selected assortment of sampies from which to make selections. This ought to be a great convenience to country people, as they <an select paterns at their own homes and save considerable in cost. Cook and Williams are reliable, and pecople giving them orders can be assured of satisfactory work and reasonable prices.

The Seattle movement hereabout is setltling down to business and before this local will see the light, the Argonauts will have left us for the distant Northwest. . The “rush to Washington is pbenominal,"and within the ngxt six months half a million, verhaps, of new comers will have landed among the rocks and forest and valleys of that booming land. The entire speculative interests of that state have united in one grand conglomeration of money, maps, circulars, and pictures. runners, agents, solicitors and hustlers, cheap fares and good accommodations on the trip, and thongh the outlay -of money has béen on a lavish scale, vet every dollar of it will yield a hundred dollars in return.

The usual array of attorneys were on hand during the week. Jud ge Chapin, Judge Goodwir, Judge H offman, Judge Prentiss, Judge Zim merman, R. P. Barr, V. C. Mains, 1. L. Graves, T. M. Eells, L. H. Wrigley, H. C. Peter-' son, L. W. Welker, L. D. Fleming, Brosecuting attorney, and Frank! rickett, deputy prosecutor. Ovyer all Sheriff Shauck keeps an eye. Boate keeps the court room and Sam Foster keeps the grand jucy under lock and key in their room. We miss the old servitors who for years had charge of the ways and means in and about the court room. Times change, the seasons change; things are passing away, and the offices that now know us will soen know us no more forever—unless we can beat the Democrats at the next election. Such was the sad reflection of an old Kepublican friend the other day, as we together looked over the situation on the court room floor. He dropped a tear as he slowly walked away; I had too much respect for his manly grief, and I, too, with melancholy step and slowly out of the court room took my solitary way. - Wawaka News Nuggets. : BY ALTA VISTA. It has been entirely too cold for sap to run. Wawaka is without a saloon. How is that? / Rev. Parfitt went to Goshen Monday on business. . : There is nothing small about the ground hog. The highway roads have been good the past week or so. : James R‘yv'an_and wife of Perry twp., were in town Sunday. . March came in rip roaring, with the weather somewhat changeable. Mr. and Mrs. A.
