GOLF COURSE NEW READV Wawasee Inn Will Have One Os The Finest In The Country The Golf Course at Wawasee is nearly finished and will probably be ready for play by the time the Inn opens the season. The grass planted last tall is coming nicely and as soon as the stones are picked from the course, it will be rolled. A steam roller from Chicago has been shipped and this will be used to flatten the ground into shape. Tom Bendelow, the noted golf expert, who laid out every golf course in America and quite a few in Europe, was at the Inn Annex several days last week and in an interview said of the local course. "The course at Wawasee Inn is particularly fine. The ground as to its contours * not only rolls beautifully, but overlooking as it does one of the largest of the lakes in Michigan Peninsula, it commands an outlook second to none in the country. The soil is peculiarly adapted to the game, it being of a light, sandy nature, so that no matter what weather conditions may be as to rain, golf may be indulged in without let or hinderance. Situated as it is one thousand feet above jthe sea level and four, hundred feet ‘above Lake Michigan, gives it a rare and pure atmosphere with cool mornings and evenings.” Tells Story Os Assault A badly battered and bruised specimen of humanity presented himself for repairs at one of our local physician’s office Sunday morning. He had several bad cuts on his scalp and was bruised about the body. He stated that while beating his way from Garrett to Chicago, he was set upon by tramps, robbed of his watch and a small amount of money, and thrown from the top of the train while it was running. -He alleged that the assault was committed this side of Leland.

Winona Out of Debt Winona seems to be nearing the end of its long financial struggle, and May 13th will probably see the new organization start out without a dollar of indebtedness. The new Board of Directors will meet at Washington. D. C. in the office of Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, and the distinguished statesman will become the new president. On the above named date the property will be transfered to the Creditors’ Committee according to the terms of the proposed settlement. Before the transaction can be completed. however, it is necessary to raise $16,000.00. The terms of the settlement call for a payment of $1000,000.00, and this amount has been subscribed. B. & O. Has Big Flood Loss A director of the Baltimore & Ohio states that the flood damage sustained by that company approximates between $2,500,000 and $3,000.000. He says several months must elapse before the the damage can be repaired and that more than 10,000 men were employed on the rush repair work. The director said: "The company’s financial exhibits for March and April will tell the story of precise traffic losses. Gross receipts for the two months will probably showjabout $3,000,000 less than normal. The heaviest flood loss in traffic was during the last week in March and the first ten days in April.” Albert Darr Breaks Arm Albert Darr of near Syracuse had the misfortune to break the large bone in his arm between the elbow and wrist, on Sunday afternoon. He was making an effort to get his horses into the barn before the rain and while attempting to halter one of them, he was shoved over against the gate post and his arm broken. Will Publish Directory The Journal office is preparing to publish the Telephone Directory and our solicitor, Ira T. Howard, will probably call on you in the next few days.

Petition Will Be Circulated A petition will be circulated in Milford to secure the opinion of the taxpayers on the matter of turning over the school interest of the town to the township trustee and abolishing the town school board.

38 YEARS AGO. Taken From The Files Os The Syracuse Enterprise Os 38 Years Ago. Incorporate or not to incorporate; that’s the question. Farmers tell us that the last cold “snap” killed about all the fruit buds in this vicinity. Brick making commenced yesterday at the yard of Strombeck and Weaver, a little north of town. Robert V. Cory is putting up a large and commodious barn on his farm a short distance from town. It is claimed that not less than 1, 000,000 feet of lumber has been bought and sold at Etna Green since Dec. Ist, 1874. Ben Gerber, Tom. Starr and John Ketring made a flying visit to Chicago last week and remained there a few days. There are some fields of splendid looking wheat in this vicinity, yet considerable of that crop is inj'ured to a certain extent. Mr. James Benner has purchased a lot in Strombeck-Weaver’s addition to Syracuse, situated on South Hufetington street, and will move his dwelling on to it in a short time. The enumeration of this township for school purposes has been taken with the following results: Total number between the ages of 6 and 21,484, which is a gain of 52 over last year. Os this number, 154 reside in Syracuse, which is a gain of 40 for the town over last year. This shows that the population of our town is rapidly increasing. A petition was in circulation during a portion of last week, which when we saw it, was numerously signed, asking the post office department to give us a daily mail by the B. & 0. railroad, instead of tri-week-ly, overland from Goshen, as we now have it. The petition has been forwarded to the department, we understand, and if the wishes of the people at this place are consulted, we are satisfied that a daily mail will be granted us. Died Strieby—On Tuesday, April 27, 1875, of scarlet fever, Amanda, wife of Henry Strieby, of this township, aged about 40 years. BIRTHS.
