After holding his job long enough
to "feather his nest" with several
millions of the finances of Mexico,
President Hucrta quietly stepped
out of the Mexican Capitol and is
safely out of reach of the rebels.
The "Old Indian" as he calls him
self, played a shrowd game and
demonstrated to the College pro
fessor President and the Chatau
qua lecturer Secretary of State of
these United States that he knew
several games these great and lcarn
ed gentlemanly never heard of
"in all their philosophy."
We certainly hope that when the
"America" gets started on the
aerial trip across the Atlantic she
will do better than Walter Well
man's balloon.
Another prize fighter who cross
ed the Atlantic to win fistic honors
(?) has had the conceit taken out
of him. Gunboat Smith lost to
Carpentier the Frenchman. Now
if some foreigner would kindly put
Jack Johnson out of business there
would be occasion for real rejoicing
on this side.
BULLY FOR MAUMEE
Sister Village Votes in Favor of
Water Works.
AGAIN THE OLD HOME TOWN
Keeping everlastingly at it is sure
to bring success as was demonstrat
ed in Maumcc on Monday.
Four previous elections on the
project of establishing village water
works proved a failure but the spir
it of progress finally seized hold of
the citizens of our sister village and
the fifth election resulted in favor
of the improvement b'y a vote of
401 to 75
The announcement ofthc result
was the signal for a grand demon
stration and the people gave vent
"to their joy by making the town
ring with their happiness.
It even overflowed and the parade
headed by a band came over to
Perrysburg to tell the good news to
their neighbors who rejoice with
them.

mee River, it seems to many resi
dents that tlje matter 'ought to be
taken up at once with the' State
Board by the respective councils, as
to what measures can or ought to
be taken to dispose of our sewage.
For if said Board has the power
to issue such a sweeping order, it
ought also be able to devise ways
and means as to.what can or ought
to be done now.
The City of Cleveland pumps its
water from cribs built in Lake Erie
at a distance of six miles.
. Had the City of Toledo done like
wise it would not have to filter its
own polluted water which backs up
at times as far as Maumee.
It appears that we have to suffer
for tho mistakes of the officials who
probably have not "done better in
and for Toledo."

DEAR BLUE :
I have received the Journal an
nouncing a home-coming for all
old Perrysburg folks, for August.
I I will not attempt to tell you
how much I would like to be with
you, or the memories and thoughts
the paper has brought back to me.
But it seems to me now that as
long back as 1 can remember, over
fifty years, that when we lived at
Woodvillc before moving to Per
rysburg, a visit to Perrysburg to
see my relatives, Ed Averil, Will
Miller and others was the one
thing most desired, and thinking
that I would probably not be iible
to be there at the "home-coming"
I would write. You" may be sure I
Avill be thinking of the old town at
the time. I read your paper
through and through and while I
see some names I remember, there
are not many of the old ones. The
Pecks, Powers, Averills, Miller,
Robertson, Hurry, Cranker, Hunt,
Hitchcock and many others that
used to be familiar names in the
old town seem to be absent, but I
thought sure I would see my old
friend Fred Eberly 's name, nas
he too "passed" on?
In your paper you speak of the
old high school and other things.
I surely remember the "old
school" and think perhaps some of
my happiest days w.ere spent there.
I wonder what has become of my
old classmates. There was myself,
Geo. Crook, II. Adams, Genie
Beach, Jessie Frederick, Mable
Smith and Mary Rider, and there
was another hoy, but I have for
gotten his name. He was a big
eyed boy, large head, but he was
always good in his studies. We
had a fine class. I remember when
we passed from the grammar
school to the high school; for some
reason or other I was selected to
present a cup and make a little
speech to Miss Beard our teacher.
I only remember the last words,
but I have never forgotten them in
all these years. They were, "May
it ever prove too large to hold your
sorrows, and far too small to con
tain the full measure of your joy."
I think Miss Annie Beach wrote it
.for me. I am sure the sentiment
expressed in those words was the
sincere desire of the class.
Speaking of the "old Maumee"
how I have enjoyed that old river.
Caught muskrats on Nigger and
Garden Islands; shot duck back of
Big Island and caught fish in the
pond lilies, to say no.thing of boat
ing and skating, and I liked to
have forgotten the swimming. I
wonder if you ever hear this now,
"I'll bet you can't fetch bottom
nt the old mill dock?" Also used
to load staves on the boats.
I believe S. Belville was the best
skater, and Frank Cranker the
best diver. I have not had on a
pair of skates since Ilcft there in
1877. I wonder what you will
think of this "stuff" I am writ
ing. I hope you will excuse me,
for the more I think tho more the
old times come back to me and I
would like the best in the world
to be with you and renew some of
the old times, in talks anyway.
But if I am not there, I Avould be
glad to know that some of the old
boys and girls think of me, and
I assure you my heart will be with
you. I hope they will not take
offense at my calling them old
boys and girls, for that's the way
they'll always be to me. I in
tended when I istarted to only
write an acknowledgment, but
have filled it up with foolishness.
Pardon me, and believe me. Ever
yours truly and always and ever
for Perrysburg and the old Mau
mee. CnAS A. POWERS.
DEAR CHARLIE: Do you re
member the little cav.e we dug in'
the bank of the little ravine near
the old Hirth home? Do you re
member the delicious taste of the
chicken you cooked on the little
brick stove? Do you remember
that little gun you had that was
about two feet long and how nice
ly you could knock over one of
your father's chickens when the
gang needed a lunch in the cave?
Oh, come home again, hoy, and
let's talk it over. THE EDITOR.
Somerset, O., July 18, 1914.
Dear Mr. Blue: I have been
reading with increasing interest in
each successive issue of the Journ
al the arrangements being made
for home-coming week in the old
burg ,to be held next month.
No doubt every one likes to see
the town clean and decorated for
special occasions, but to us who
have been away for a number of
years, the every day apparel of
Perrysburg is indelibly impressed
upon our memories. On my
occasional visits home I could not
help but notice the improvements
that are gradually making the
town one of the most desirable
residence localities thai one could
wish for. With the beautiful wide
streets well paved and nicely kept,
good sewerage water in abund
ance, electric lights and every con
venience of a great metropolis, and
yet the healthful air of the
country, those looking for the
ideal place to reside cannot bufc be
attracted.
The home-coming in August
will do much to bring the town to
the attention of outsiders, and
those who are furthering this
grand "family reunion," among
whom must be prominently
mentioned the Journal, arc deserv
ing of no small amount of praise.
