Report of the Viewers ts favorable to The Road. The matter is now in the hands of the Commissioners and will be taken up at their March meeting.

The matter has awakened considerable interest, and quite a large number of people in Rush and Perry townships are active in support of the proposed road. It opens the way for them to get to Uhrichsville without driving so long a distance along tho railroad, and to them this is quite a consideration. Heretofore those driving nervous or excitable horses, and wishing to avoid the railroad, were compelled to traveJ either the Fredenburg road or cross the Thyme hill. The worse than miserable condition in uib usually found ihe former road, and the steep grades of the latter, precluded the hauling of a heavy load. The result was that many persons who otherwise would have brought their trade and milling to Uhrichsville and Dennison, sought more accessible places, often to their disadvantage and certainly to our loss.

We are not prepared to say that the route selected from the cut to the railroad crossing, along the west side of the track, is the best that could have been made. But to open up this phase of the coiitroveiaey probably tend to defeat the road, and we are inclined to think that a majority of the people interested do not wish to see the road fail. Answered the Last Call. Called Home. Miss Mary Winters, who, for so long a time occupied a place at the Uhrichsville postoffice delivery window, answered the call of the messenger of death, last Thursday morning, at the home of her cousin, Mrs.

She was laid to rest in Union cemetery. Pure in thought, faithful to duty, her life was ever guided by earnest purpose. New Stores, J. A. Calhoun, representing the C.
