Dr R L Crooks of Convoy boasts extensive practice. Breachy cattle complaints prompt calls for enforcement. The piece asserts Union township leans Republican, citing election returns and a Democratic ex-official’s admission that Democrats are waning nationwide, with 1876 West Virginia references.

Mrs Josie Shingledecker wife of Perry Shingledecker died Sunday morning. Funeral by Rev Alberts at the German church Hoaglin township. She leaves a husband and two children. Mr S mourns a bereavement. One week ago Monday saloon man Mr Clements died and was buried in Dix cemetery. If the town is not cleaned up soon there may be nothing left to tell.
