AUTDMOBH.Effi BIGTGLE COLLIDE Mose Maloy Is Painfully Braked But Not Seriously Injured. Mose Maloy, eon of James Maloy, who resides about three miles west of here was painfully bruised and injured, though not seriously, when the bicycle the boy was riding col lided with S. C. Lepper’s automobile The accident occurred about half way between here and Milford about six o’clock Monday evening. The version we had of the affair was that the boy on the tricycle was fol lowing another automobile and that the light from the latter partially blinded Mr. Lepper who was approaching from the opposite direction. Mr. Lepper brought the boy to Syracuse for medical treatmeni immediately after the accident and after his injuries were attended by Dr. Bowser returned to his home. We are prone to believe that there is any blame to be attached to any - one for the accident. Mr. Lepper is known as a careful driver and it was probably one of those unfortu nate accidents that is bound to oc cur, now and then. Our New Department.

37 YEARS AGO. Excerpts From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os Jan. 14, 1875. ■iyF' j j. ; . Shall we incorporate? Born on Thursday. January 7, a daughter to the wife of Eli Holloway. Thomas Oramjformerly of Syracuse, died after a sickness of a few days at Warsaw last week. Twenty lots have been laid out at the B. & 0. crossing near Milford. The town is named New Baltimore. Mrs. Hardesty and Mis&Kindig of Syracuse, accompanied by Miss Alice Young of Benton made this office a call last week. We received a call last week from Misses Mahala Rookstool, Alice Alexander, Libbie Wallis and Nora Acker, four of our most charming young ladies. Saturday was the coldest day of the season. The thermometer was said to have indicated 22 below zero. We heard one individual make the parodoxial statement that it was as “cold as h —l.” The protracted meeting which has been in progress for some time under the auspices of the Church of God has resulted in a number of conversions. Rev. M. Coates, the pastor, has been assisted by Elder J. Bumpus, a very able and eloquent minister. The Syracuse Silver Cornet Band with W. H. Mershon of Warsaw as teacher, is making marked improvement. The band is composed of the following gentlemen: Geo. Miles, leader, Al. Acker, Ist cornet, J. S. Wynant, Ist alto, E. E, Miles, 2nd alto, E. F. Holloway, tenor, M. F. Vennaman, baritone, Frank Landis, trombone, W. H. Widner, bass, A. J. Kitson, tuba, C. Whistler, bass drum, Milt Patterson, tenor drum. We recently had the pleasure of meeting Sam Poarman of Findlay, 0., and he tells a good story on an uncle of his. On one occasion a number of young ladies were at bis house and in their conversation were discussing chairs, some preferring one kind and some another. Suddenly the conversation switched to a different subject, one in which all young gentlemen are interested, some preferring one style of feminine beauty and some another. One of the young ladies asked the uncle’s preference, and he being deaf and thinking the subject was still chairs, replied: “Well girls, I’ll jist tell you. For genuine comfort give me the old-fashioned split-bottom.’’ MARRIED. Sunday evening, Jan. 10, Samuel Bashore and Lvdia Baker. Thursday, Jan. 7, Z, Bartholomew and Jennie.Undamood. DIED.

WAWASEE LAKE 10 BE WORKED Iffl SPflllO Present Indications Are That Cement Works Will Run AU Winter. C. J. Reilly, in replv to a question from the Journal, said that the plant undoubtedly would run straight through the winter months. They have been hampered by the lack of men for some time and if a sufficient number could have been secured, operations would have beeu commenced on the big lake this fall. Preparations are being made however, to dredge the big lake for marl as soon as the ice goes off in the spring. A fleet of dredges and boats are now under course of construction and it is the intention of the officials to get at the work as soon as at all possible. The foregoing will be good news to the residents of Syracuse and especially to the business men. The Sandusky Portland Cement Co. is the chief employer of labor about here and the assurance, that if nothing unforeseen occurs, it will continue to operate throughout the winter months, should prove a stimulus to business. \ W. B. Newberry, an official of the company from Sandusky, spent several days here last week. He is making a tour of inspection of the various factories. Does It Pay? The Journal is going to take a little of the credit from Mr. Connolly for selling a farm to O. V. Bartholomew. Mr. Bartholomew read the farm ad. in the Journal, at his home in Eagle Ford, Texas, and promptly wrote to W. G. Connolly. The deal was consumated by correspondence and all that remained after the buyer arrived here was the signing of the necessary papers. The deal i involved over $3,000. Does adver--1 rising pay? Thankssrh'ing Day Fixed. Governor Marshall has issued a 1 proclamation fixing Thursday, Nov. ’ 28, as a day of thanksgiving, “where- ' upon all may join their voices in praise of the author of mercies and ; whereupon those who have been ■ greatly blessed may prove the sin--1 cerity of their songs by loving min- • istry to the poor and distressed in ; body, mind and soul.” Freese’s New Plant.
