Fast Ride on the Towpath and Local Notices
The piece describes John Hale's claim to know the towpath well enough to run Old 44 safely at speed with Mike Maloney piloting to Covington. It also reports a teachers institute in Wabash township with speeches by Schuyler LaTourette and A. P Burnside, a New Year’s Eve entertainment by Miss Lulu Grubbs and Alex Roy, and local real estate transactions in Fountain County with numerous property transfers and amounts.
