The Town Board.

The town board met in regular monthly session last Monday evening. The most important work done was on the cow question. The board decided to issue an order prohibiting cows from running at large during all months of the year. Petitions were presented on both .sides of the question, 125 names being h favor of keeping them up and 97 against. The action of tlnboard was unanimous, excop* Mr. Woodworth, who refused to vote on the question. Messrs. Wasson and Spit lei. were appointed a, committee to ; fives'. Lgate and settle a claim o.

GOOOLAND.

j Oats 28(J30c. j Corn 35(u30c. Frank Davis, of the Morocco Courier, contemplates moving his office to Brook. It is reported, on what seems to be good authority, that the jG. & I. C, and Pan Handle will | build a large union depot near the crossing some time the com- | mg summer. The correspondent from Locheal must have got our young ; foiks mixed with some othei town or else knowingly misrepj resented about their getting into trouble at any of their meetj iags. -Assessor Allison has moved on uis farm 11 miles southeast of ■ 'own. Our item last week should ; have read that Master Raymond ■ 'coti was wrestling witn the measles, instead of Coats. Do ! tiie Pilot compositors want us lo semi over an interpreter for jour turkey tracks? He\. Jenkins conducted the quarterly meeting at Brook,, last .Saturday and Sunday, for Eldei ,\Yilson.

SOUTH EAST MARION.

Charles Slaughter, the blacksmith of this part, was kep; quite busy last week shoeing horses. William Haley is visiting friends at Bloomington. Ind. Miss Lizzie Leers is on the sick list. Mr. Ropp, of Rensselaer, was sawing wood for Jesse Smith last week. Henry Sparling has sold his farm to Theadore Kiper. We understand Mr. Sparling expects to locate near DeMotte. Miss Belle Slaughter spent Sunday in this part. Elmer Gwin and the Misses Eva Green, Alice Irwin and Elya Gwin of the Watson school attended the box supper here last Friday evening. The patrons and religious people of this part are very indignant over the result of the box supper given at the school house last Friday evening us it ended in a dance and card party. If the box socials are for the benefit of the schools let them elevate the minds of the young instead of lowering them. This is the second time this winter the same has been held in the sliool house and should it occur again it may cause trouble to the dancers. If our trustee was as anxious to close the school house against the Fanner’s A 1 liance, the religious minds would not need to have been stirred up. L. S. G.

Daniel Robinson, Esq., will go to Texas in a few days to work for the Western Union Telegraph company. Dan is quite a jolly fellow and will be missed very much. The Hanging Grove Literary society held its best session of the winter at the Osborue school house last Friday night. The speeches, essays, declamations, etc., which were furnished in the greater part by the students >? the Osborne school, reflect much honor to the rustling teacher of that place as w T ell as to the pupils themselves. The debate was also above the ordinary. The society meets at Marlboro to-night. Ail are cordially invited to attend. The young folks of Zard are '»ow practicing on a “play" which they will give in a week or two. The young sports of Lee and vlarlboro enjoyed a fine skating party last week.

Hogan is still on the boom. William Kennedy is very low with lagrippe and disease of the kidneys. Seven of Fred Hasselbring’s children have the measles. Mrs. Woodard is also very low with fever, y Dr. G. V. Jones is on the gos night and day. John McGlynn, Jr., has seventy signers on his petition for the post office at Hogan. We think Thomas Sayers will have to hustle or get left, as he has only five signers. Thomas says the five will have more influence than seventy. The Literary Saturday night was a success.

i v Invite the defenders of the People's party platform to come Saturday night, Feb. 25, and help defend the platform. We will organize a local branch of the Fort Wayne Building and Loan Association here. We understand that R. Haileck is puting up ice. He began rather late.

WHEATFIELD.

Trustee Clark is reported sick. Miss Hoover is visiting her brother and friends of this vicinity. If you havn’t received a fall the last week you can deem youself lucky. Protracted meeting is still going on with good results. Our town boys enjoyed a good skate aiong the railroad ditch last Sunday. We presume Mr. Smiley, our postmaster, thinks he has a pretty good trade at present, especially in valentines. Rev. Smith delivered two interesting sermons last Sunday, the house being crowded at night until it was impossible to be comfortable. About three hundred persons were present. Mr. Bert Dunn has been the chief visitor at' Mr. Clark’s during the sickness of his wife. A large crowd from Dunnville attended the meeting Sunday night, among them being Bro. Sands, who is one of the best workers in our revival. _ We understand that Wheatfield is to have a new Methodist church in the near future, which will be quite an impi'ovement to the town. Owing to the number of churches it contains, Wheatfield should be quite a respectable place. But we are afraid churches have nothing to do with this case and especially some of the saloon and its company. Iceberg.

MILROY TOWNSHIP.

Mrs. A. L. Smith is suffering the effects of an old fashioned fellon on her thumb. Jacob Dewey will soon move on a farm near Brook, Ind. Harvey Jonas and Perry Beaver are erecting new houses. Miss Smith, of Missouri, is visiting her nephew, Eli Critser. The venerable Bro. Boyd is making his homo wills G. W. Foulks.

Our people want ditches and good roads, but a long time to pay for them in. Wonder what attraction Wayne Gwin has found in Milroy. Link Park will soon move near Remington on his father’s farm. We are sorry to see Link leave; he is one of our best men. Dixie.

FAIR OAKS.

Wm. Clemmons sold his fine race mare to one of the Wisemans. D. B. Nowels thinks some one is mistaken in regard to his school and especially the scholars.

There is a demand .or rubber j boots in Fair Oaks. Mr. George Stowers is now a citizen of Fair Oaks. We were i happy to meet his smiling counj tenance. j James Cox’s residence is eomj pletelv surrounded with water. I it being up even with the doors. He has moved in with his father until it freezes again. Jacob Hurley’s premises are also covered with water. He has donned long legged boots and turned his stock out on the commons. Fair Oaks is bound to be business for a long time to come.. We noticed twenty or twenty-five stout, able-bodied men skating on the race track and offered them $1 per day to chop wood for us. They looked at at each other for a while and replied, “We haven’t the time to spare.” We continued our journey up the steep hill in front us Mallets and finally landed in the post office, where another outfit were talking dogs. We waited patiently to get an opportunity to ask who /vanted a jot) of chopping wood, tt never came. When we left they were talking about old gray horses. One in the crowd exclaimed, “confound akicky mule-.” We ventured over to Russel's grocery store where Professor Russel was delivering a lecture on pugilistic fighting to an audience of two men. Mr. Brock us and Mr. Brooks. We left there and on our way home oame to the conclusion that we wasn't in it. v One day last week one of our citizens concluded to make a flying trip to Rensselaer and going to the depot he paid for the round trip, and not knowing what the ticket was for started to tear it up, hut a bystander told him it was to keep. He seemed puzzled and said he thought, it was only a receipt for the money. He boarded the train and was looking out of the window when the conductor approached. “Fare,”said the conductor. “No, sir, I’m going to Rensselaer; the World’s Fair is in Chicago/ T want your ticket, ’ felled the conductor. “You can'Kjiavb it, sir; I was told when I left Fair Oaks to keep my ticket. Do you suppose that I’m fool enough to give you my ticket and then walk to Rensselaer, after paying my money for it. I’ve paid my way and I’ll keep my ticket.” "It makes no difference ivnere you are going or what you are going to do, I must see your ticket or put you off the train,” remarked the conductor. The ticket was produced and the conductor tore off the Rensselaer portion and passed on. The rest of the way the passengers were entertained by the indignant citizen who had been swindled by a railroad corporation. Cyclone.
