It is a fineable offense to drive faster than a walk over the bridges of Franklin County, yet a lot of young hoodlums run horses through the Fairfield bridge at night.
A little paint used judiciously on many of the residences of our village would add greatly to the comfort and appearance of many homes.
James R. Johnson is again on his pins after a severe tussle with throat trouble. He can talk McCormick Harvester now equal to Bill Nye, Jr.
It is hinted that a certain egg buyer has not made a "square deal" with some of his lady customers who sell hen fruit. This is only a rumor.
The side ditches on the Brookville and Fairfield new gravel road are not cleared of debris sufficient to carry the water off. A few days work done in season will be a great protection to the highway.
We are authorized to say that farm tools, implements, vehicles, harness or property borrowed of the late Douglas F. Dickerson should be returned at once. Parties, please remember this timely notice and save trouble.
Owing to business calls requiring our time and attention out of town for two weeks past, your unworthy reporter has not been able to capture many news items. The newest live specimen of mankind is the new baby girl at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cary east of town.

We must compliment our friend Mrs. Martha May (Butler) Shaw for her quiet plunge into the matrimonial sea which is full of bubbles and breakers, but she done so with her glasses on and eyes open, and never even hinted to us of her intention of passing through the ordeal from single to wedded felicity. If congratulations are still in order we add our kindest wishes by hoping she may have a "stick" full of happiness with an abundance of "clean proof." May she never "slug" the fortunate husband of her choice, but in the future, as in the past, may she "distribute" her smiles on "Jack," who should rejoice at his "fat take."
