.Mr. Editor: Dear Sir, As yon hare
repeatedly announced in your paper
that you would be pleased to receive
aft rorcmnnications or items that
may be of interest from different lo
calities thronjjhont the county, we
are led to wonder why it is that there
are not more communications in our
connty papers than there are. There
are certainly many whose tastes or
inclinations run in that direction. In
our opinion the local department and
letters from correspondents form an
important part of a paper.
Thw village ,Van Wert) is just 5$ j
miles from the Biuson bridge at Mif
fiin, directly east J ust right along
this straight road for a ten miles lies
a large portion of the grain-producing
land of Joniida county, almost
every rod of which is limestone flint
We are surrounded principally by
good, hoiiebt, industrious farmers.
Each furai has one or two tenant
houses thereon, thus giving shelter
and employment to many of the
poorer classes.
