O.D. Warren has the biggest lost of boys in the county. They formerly lived in Meigs county; the oldest one is very large, weighs 223 pounds, and the three next are also very large; and when ‘baby’ Charley gets his growth he will be a ‘boomer’. They are very hard workers in the tile and brick business.

Pete Dow, one of the old patrons and good judges of the “red eye”, on Saturday evening attempted to butt a freight train off the 3C’s track, and in doing so got badly hurt. Pete was picked up and carried to the National Hotel, when the physicians were called in, and to-day he is doing well. The train was not running very fast at the time.

On Saturday last a party of some fifteen from Marion, together with a small party from Richwood, met at the “Sunny Home” of Mrs. Finefrock Stahl, on her farm near Prospect. The party arrived at their destination about 10 a.m., and was very hospitably received by Mrs. Stahl’s son, Master Scotty, who admirably played the part of host until hi s mother arrived, she being at a near neighbor’s taking dinner. The above mentioned party were equipped with baskets filled with delicious eatables, and the table, after being spread with the good things, appeared truly grand. The party speak in the highest terms of the present appearance of the home, the farm, the fine dairy house with splendid spring water constantly running through it, the cows, the 20 little pigs, the poultry, etc. The happy and welcomed party after enjoying the afternoon with Mrs. Stahl and her little son, left for home, taking in Prospect on their way, calling upon the happy young couple Mr. and Mrs. H. DeWolfe, where they stopped for supper. This was somewhat a surprise to the host, but Florence always ready, gave the pary a gladly welcome; they took possession of this home as they did of Mrs. Stahl’s; uncovering their baskets they launched the rich food upon tables and all feasted sumptuously, after which they resumed their journey homeward. On their way, one of the party captured from one of their pretended invalids a ‘treasure’ corked up in a bottle, which in some way was misplaced and got into the wrong satchel, and up to this writing the owner has not found her bottle, nor the ‘bottle holder’ the owner.
