FOREST AND STREAM
Present Beautiful Scene While
Touring State of Michigan!
t Bad roads and good fishing arc two
features of which the people of Mich
igan can boast.
Motoring from Detroit to Grand
Rapids, Mich., gives an Ohio man
many reasons to be thankful that he
lives in Ohio. Of course I may be
prejudiced in favor of Ohio (and just
ly so), but when the Ohio man, who
has toured the splendid Ohio roads
and especially those of Wood county,
finds himself following Michigan
gravel and sand roads, which in many
sections are nothing more than trails,
he is much inclined to think that the
old story about the road that was
first started by a lost calf that wan
dered through the forest must have
had its origin in Michigan. It is true,
however, that touring Michigan pre
sents many features of interest The
contour of the country is such that
the roads (or trails) lead over hills
and through valleys, with frequent
swamp and marsh land on either side
with beautiful wood covering hill and
dale, that add a picturesque beauty to
the scene that is very enjoyable.
A part of every Michigan man's
traveling outfit consists Of a tin box
of fishing tackle which he guards
more carefully than he does his cloth
ing. No tourist (except a tenderfoot)
is regarded as worthy of consideration
unless he has an outfit containing the
very latest up-to-date tackle and a
supply of fish stories about the fish
he has caught and the "big fellow"
that rot away.
It is trulv wonderful how these old
fisherman can spot a novice. Our party
had scarcely settled near Clifford lake
when out from the veranda strolled a
fine lookini gentleman of about 70
summeis and winters and introduced
himself.
In order to reciprocate and convince
the old gentleman that I appreciated
his story, I told him I was much in
terested in bird lore, and after tell
ing him of some of the great "birds"
I had met, recited the following
"pome" written by a friend of mine:
"A clever old bird is the pelican,
Whose bill will hold more than his
bellican,
He can keep in his beek
Food enough for a week,
And derned if I can see how the
hellecan."
I could feel in my system that he
vas one of 'em and that he was mere
ly waiting for someone to listen to his
(iihs) tale; and seeing escape impossi
ble without hurting the old man's feel
ings, I lighted a cigar that was strong
enough to produce forgetfulness and
submitted to the operation without an
nnaesthetic. It was the old story of
the wonderful bass he caught, and
how the last one towed his boat across
the lake. But the grand finale of his
sketch was about a wonderful grass
pike which pulled his boat around the
lake three times and after he had
,(hrought him to the surface and
thought .the game over the monster
jumped over the boat and breaking
the heavy line made his escape. "But
I tell you, tomorrow I'm going after

taken in automobiles and driven
around tho town and to places of in
terest for entertainment until the
noon hour.
The banquet at noon was served in
the spacious basement of the church,
where tables were spread Hor 200
guests. The decorations were most
charming and artistic in their ar
rangement and the entire banquet
room with its draping of the national
colors and beautiful flowers presented
a scene that was indeed enchanting.
And the dinner was equally charming.
While the dinner was being served

sical program.

SUFFERED ECZEMA FIFTY
YEARS NOW WELL.
Seems a long time to endure the
awful burning, itching, smarting, skin-
disease known as "tetter" another
name for Eczema. Seems good to re
alize, also, that DR. HOBSON'S
ECZEMA OINTMENT has proven a
perfect cure.
Mrs. D. L. Kennoy writes: "I can
not sufficiently express my thanks to
you for your Dr. Hobsofi's Eczema

have a part in the great centennial ' continue firing at one and one-half to
celebrations that have been contlh'two minute intervals, while the visit-
uing during the past two weeks, ill
yarious towns and cities.
One hundred years ago this village
was the scene of some very stirring'
events. The boom of cannon was the;
signal of death and destruction. The1
air was filled with the whirring sound
of bullets, while the war cry of tho
savage struck terror to the hearts of
those who heard it
Today all is changed.
- The boom of cannon is the boom
of joy.
Bands of music fill the air with mel
ody while hundreds of happy care-free
school children raise their voices in
chorus of praise and rejoicing, and
high officials unite with the citizens
in extolling the virtues and achieve
ments of those noble men whose hero
ic deeds saved this northwest terri
tory to the government of the United
States.
Committees of Perrysburg men
have been doing much work in prep
aration for this event.
The decorations of the village will
surpass anything ever attempted be
fore in Perrysburg. Besides the ex
tensive decoration of all homes and
business houses, our streets will be
adorned with quantities of artistic
streamers, all of one design and so ar
ranged as to cover the entire route of
the visiting party.
At the head of Main street, at the
summit of the hill, are being erected
two imposing columns, artistically
mode and tastefully decorated, which
will represent the gateway of Perrys
burg. At the left of these columns on the
edge of the park will be placed the
rostrum or the official reception of
Gov. Cox. This rostrum will be
flanked on the left by a children's
chorus of two hundred voices, occupy
ing the park terrace, and on the right
by the Waterville band.
The slopes of the hill opposite, to
gether with the interrunning road
way, form a most admirable theater
with a natural settinng. The brow of!
the hill at Monument Parkwill be oc
cupied by a portion of Battery B, O.
N. G., with cannon.
Directly opposite on Mr. Spitzer's hill
the Newsboys Band will take a posi-
tion, which commands both the river
valley and the roadway, leading from
the-dock to Main street.

GOOD REASON FOR HIS EN
THUSIASMi When a man has suffered for several
days with colic, diarrhoea or other
form of bowel complaint and is then
cured sound and well by one or two
dpses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is often
the case, it is but' natural that he
should be enthusiastic in his praise
of the remedy, and especially is this
the case of a severe attack when lifo
is threatened. Try it when in need of
such a remedy. It never fails. Sold

A reception committee supported by

From there the Governor's party with
the Newsboys' Band will go to Mau-

Lunch at the Fort is in the nature
of a basket picnic. After lunch the
Governor's party will be taken, over
the Fort and shown the various joints
of interest The afternoon program
begins at 2 o'clock.
The spectacular effect of this pro
gram, with its natural setting, thatj
few places in this country are blessed
with the conditions necessary, will pre
sent a scene of picturesque grandeur
that will leave a lasting impression
with the visitor.
The village streets are now decorat
ed in an artistic manner. The decora
tive scheme being carried out through
out Main, Front and Second streets,
and all other parts of the town, pro
duces the effect of one grand and
beautiful picture and is an artistic
effort that is worthy the committee
and a credit to the village and people;

The Committee of Arrangements
regret exceedingly to hare been com
pelled to go out of jPerrysburg to se
cure a second band for the celebration.
Owing to a late chance in the person
nel of tho committee a misunderstand
ing as to whether a band other than
the one donated by Toledo could be
afforded. .During the.'process of re
organization tbe Perrysburg Band
signed a contract to play in another
village, thereby making it impossible
to secure their sorrlces.

GRAND MUNICIPAL FESTIVAL
I
Throng of People Attend the First
Perrysburg Street Show.
It was the largest crowd ever seen
on Perrysburg streets.
Everybody was happy and had a
good time.
It pays to advertise.
These facts were provenby the
happy throng of people who attended
the first street festival ever given
in Perrysburg.
The villaee pessimistTv?ho thought
it doubtful if such a scheme could be
successful in Perrysburg forgot him
self and joined in the happy revelers.
He even smiled and said it was a great
success. He's a booster now, and he
is welcome.
The man who said advertising does
not draw the people had a very start
ling illustration of his mistaken idea.
There was music, good cheer, joy
ous songs and happy laughter from
the time the first ticket was sold un
til the close of the festival at 11:30
p. m.
Never before have the people of
Perrysburg joined hands in presenting
a municipal entertainment, and never
before has there been any entertain
ment given here that equaled this
in its perfect success.
This is due chiefly to the fact that
those -who had the work in charge
enlisted the help of all the people and

A beautiful feature was the fact
that no drunkenness or boisterous con
duct marred the occasion. It was one
of the most harmonious meetings ever
held in this county, and exery citi
zen of Perrysburg has reason to be
proud of the fact that the first civic
festival was a blooming success in
every respect
The Journal would be pleased to
make special mention of many who
were conspicuous by their earnest and
well directed efforts to make the fes
tival worthy the town and time, but
there are so many of them that we
have not the necessary space. It was
NO ONE-MAN SHOW, but was the
result of unity of action of all regard
less of their personal feelings in the
matter.
It was the exercise of good will,
good judgment, good common sense
and hearty co-operation a mighty
power that makes for success' when
ever it is brought into service.
