Dredge Ditch Petition Aims For Prairie Creek to Plainville
A five mile dredge petition for the Canal ditch from Prairie Creek to Plainville will be filed in the county commissioners court at the May term. Landowners urge early action to dredge as sand and lumber now clog the ditch and hinder drainage. The ditch, built five years ago along the Erie canal bed beside the BE and I railroad, often fills with sand. Some doubt dredging is practicable as sand would refill it. A second petition seeks a switch to drain Odon, but filing may be delayed due to preliminary work and ongoing drainage concerns in Odon and surroundings.

Man of Galilee lecture praised for oratorical power
Critics interpret the controversial parts differently yet the speaker urged letting critics assist each other as the Bible sustains itself. The Sunday address described Jesus as a tall blemish free figure with a kingly bearing and a sorrowful brow, arguing his divinity and inviting worship. The life of the Savior up to his death was rendered with emotional force and the closing moments were simply effective.
