Syracuse in 1875 Items from the corresponding issues of The Syracuse Enterprise. Geo. Darr is sick with bilious fever, we believe. The cry of the country press, just now, is for wood, more wood. Perry Wilden has sold his harness shop to John Snyder, of Milford. Mr. P. V. Bowyer has returned from a visit of several months in Ohio. Mr. A. J. Kitson; of the Island House, has our thanks for a lot of fine concord grapes. $ " • Our family rfeturn thanks to Mrs. Christ. Whistler who remembered them ■with a fine piece of fresh pork. John F. Stillwell, of Benton, has our thanks for a basket of very large early rose' potatoes, equal in size to any we have seen. On Thursday last J. C. McLaughlin, of Milford, called on us to “chalk” his name down on our subscription book. The first flouring mill erected in Kosciusko county was built at a very’ early day in Syracuse. So says the Warsaw Union. The Goshen Democrat notices the presence in Goshen of one of our citizens as . follows: “Our respected old friend, Harvey Venamon, is spending a few days in Goshen again.” Dick Davison has moved his family into the building formerly occupied by himself as a barber shop. The tohsorial rooms are located in the basement of Wayer’s brick for the present. The Island House, on British Island, was sold at sheriff’s sale on Thursday last, we understand. We believe that it was purchased by Martin Hillabold, of this place, who owns the land on which it stands. Mr. C. R. Ogden, of this township, has our. thanks for a lot of as fine, delicious grapes as we have seen this season. He has a splendid location on the banks of Nine Mile Lake, and is an extensive and successful fruit grower. We understand that S. L. Ketring & Co. shipped on Thursday last a carload of wheat from this place. This was the first shipment of grain from this place since the completion of the elevators, and we hope will mark the beginning of an era of prosperity for Syracuse. Mr. Isaac Kitson, our old preceptor, and one of the leading farmers of this vicinity, brought into our office two mammoth sweet potatoes which, together, weighed nearly 8 pounds. The largest weighed 4 pounds and. the other something over 3 pounds. Next. — r * Mr. J. P. Dolan, who has been spending the summer in Wisconsin and other portions of the west, returned the latter part of last week, to take charge of the intermediate department of the Syracuse public schools. Joe is a fine young man and a teacher of experience and ability, and we are pleased that b e has been secured as a teacher in our schools. Keno notified us at the beginning of last week that he was making a desperate effort to obtain from the use of “cuss words.” His usual weekly budget of spicy news failed to reach us, and we were terribly. alar med as to the consequence to himself of such a rash resolve. However he is on. hand this week, and in wit and wisdom, not unmingled with sarcasm, makes up for last week’s absence. O Keno! Milford Correspondence by Tom Felkner. Last week we made default; this week we are on hand like a “sore finger.” * Lash says “business is bully” in one particular line, with good prospects ahead for wintering. 1 .' Henry Pronnet, of Syracuse, an artist and sketcher of wagons and bug; jies, was in town this morning. William Felkner sold 172 acres off the “old homestead” to Wm. Harkin, of Bone prairie, for the sum of SBO per acre. John W. Egbert, ex-s heriff of .Elkhart county, has been in town for - some wise purpose or other two <>r three 1 if meslately. Wonder what’s in the: wind no w. Frank M. Smith is off on a flying visit this week to see the mammy that “fanned” him in his younger dsr 's, and to gather around the old hovm cm :le. School commenced this monri ng in the primary department, with Mrs . Emma Stuckman as “boss,” and wees cpect to see the young ideas shoot aft a d esperate rate.

On Saturday last our town was full of teams, the sidewalks and stores were full of people, and we regret to say that some of them were full of something stronger than buttermilk, but what it was this “deponent sayeth not.” Our city was honored the other day with a visit from the “Syracuse twins,” Hillabold and Uncle Ad., and we would like to drop a remark right here that if they can’t make a half pint look like a frame house struck by lightning you can call me a fraud. No offence uncle. We had the misfortune to see a “gallus” Old preacher and advocate of ye ancient days taking an observation of the heavens through the bottom of a beer glass one day last week. Although he was “off of the premises” we couldn’t help but think he was not setting a very good example for us of the rising generation, and we almost “pumped salt water,” but managed to shake it back, and went ’away fully Convinced that you could not rely upon the professions of the latter day Christians. From our Leesburg Correspondent. Paul Boehm has returned front a protracted stay in Michigan. A little son of James Holderman died at his uncle’s, near here, on last Wednesday. Geo. Long goes to Illinois to teach the ideas of the young successors how to shoot. The late firm of .Hill & Rankin packed their kits and took a walk for their health early Monday morning. [ A slight collision between Sodom and Gomorrah took place in the deadfall Saturday evening. Too free use of pumpkin juice was the cause. A large crowd witnessed the match game of: baseball here Saturday afternoon between the Beechers and Clippers. The litter came out ahead in a score of 38 to 49- ! Nervous headache amounted to almost an epidemic on Sunday morning. It’s attacks were not confined to the young and the gay, as it is said that some gray hairs “pulled” a little. All occasioned by a lost balance the day and night previous. Notwithstanding the rain Saturday morning, which kept large numbers at home, the attendance at the old Settlers’ Meeting was fair. Mr. Makemsen, president es the society, presided. W. C. Graves, of Warsaw, made the address, after which a bountiful basket dinner was partaken of in old fashioned style; then singing by the choir and speeches by Elder Lemon and Mr. Ellis, of Goshen. The early settlers are gradually passing away. Only seventeen responded when a call was made for those who were in the county prior to 1838. James H. Bishop is about the only survivor of the first settlers of Big Prairie. Phoney Goods. A letter from Ed. V. Price, merchant tailor of Chicago, to The Star Clothing Store, gives the information that there are concerns m several large cities sending out agents to the consumer selling suit patterns that are not worth making up. The goods are purported to be wollens of British, German and French manufacture. The Price Company asserts that the goods are imperfect and have been thrown back on the mills, who are trying to dispose of them at a very low price. In some cases the woolens are dyed to hide the imperfections, while others are pure cotton branded with a foreign stamp to catch unsuspecting consumers. When one of these salesmen call, just tell him you buy your merchandise of the people who are building up your home instead of Chicago, Cleveland and other cities. Your merchant here expects to have your trade all the time, and does not practice deception in goods; When answering advertisements, please mention the Journa'. A carload of z?ed Cedar Posts just received. Now is your time to buy—will sell them cheap. —Syracuse Lumber Co. iUCIias.E Hatt’s| CLEAMER ■ — | Batt s Cleaner & Polish rOLISH instantly removes spots,dirt 11,1 ! and that smoky appearance ..... from yonr furniture, piano FURNITURE a nd automobile.
