conducted in Perrysburg, being
succeeded by Mr. Lawrence E.

been very successful and has proven
his ability and knowledge of the
business in which he has been
greatly assisted by his wife.
In rehiring from Pcrrysbure busi
ness circles they do so with the
best wishes of their former patrons
and many friends who regret their
departure and bid them success in
future, wherever they choose to lo
cate. They will probably remain here
a few weeks before seeking another
location.
Mr. Eckel is a young man who
was born and raised here and is
well and favorably known. He
enters upon his new undertaking
with a large circle ,of friends who
will cladly extend. to him their
patronage-and good will, and he
will leave no opportunity pass to
convince the public of his desire to
give them the best possible service.
Read his announcement in this
paper.
Mr. Robert Mawer took four
teen of. his choice chickens to the
Tiffin Poultry Show. He sold four
of them for $50, and brought home
a beautiful silver cup for the best
ten.

New Officials Assumo Positions in
Wood County Court House.
Monday was a great day in the
Court house as it was the occasion
for the departure of old officers and
the coming of-the new.
The January term of Common
Pleas court opened with Judge E.
G. McClelland on the bench.
His Honor appeared unaffected
by his change of position and with
out any apparent nervousness or
other irdications of his exalted
position took up the assignment of
cases. '
The Grand Jury was called and
sworn after which the Court gave
them the usual charge discribing
tlyeir duties as Jurors in a manner
that could admit of no misunder
standing. J. N. Baker was appointed Court
Bailiff and immediately assumed
his duties. ,
There was a large number of at
torneys as well as many citizens
present and the new Judge receiv
ed many congratulations.
Down in the Prosecuting Attor
ney's office there is also a new face
for on this same day Hon. Charles
S. Hatfield retired from the office
of Prosecuting Attorney and was
succeeded by Hon. Earl K. So
lether. As usual his fellow officials
did not permit Hatfield to depart
without the usual presentation of
a fine traveling bag which seems to
have been adopted as the badge of
a retired Wood county official. The
presentation was made by Record
er Adams and Mr. Hatfield respond
ed in a pleasing speech indicative
of his appreciation of the gift.
Mr. Gus Skibbie, as Sheriff, open
ed court for the first time, but Gus
has been a handy man around the
Court house so long that he
con-
ducted himself like a veteran.
And thus the New Year made a
good start in the Court house.
FARMERS GET RELIEF
The state veterinarian today re
ported three new outbreaks of the
foot and mouth disease, including
two Wood county herds and one in
Lucas county.
Some relief to Wood county
farmers is given by the order which

ment Thursday permitting inter
state shipments of live stock, after
bureau inspection, from outside the
five-mile radius of infected premises
in counties of Belmont, Erie, Han

State Inspector Says Perrysburg
Schools Should Have More
Room.
The State Inspector of High
Schools in his report to the state
Superintendent regarding" the con
ditions of the Perrysburg schools
said the schools were in goodcon-
dition in everv way except that
they were sadly in need of more
room, and that they were too
crowded in all departments.
To those who have given our
schools any attention, this condition
has been all too apparent and the
Journal has heard considerable
complaint, particularly from those
who have small children in the
schools, and the action of the Board
of Education in compelling certain
grade -of scholars to attend school
in one of the old town hall rooms
for the past year or two has been
much deplored by their respective
parents.
An investigation of conditions
has shown that every grade up to
the Fifth grade has now nearly
double the number of pupils which
is recommended for any one room
or teacher, and upon inquiry the
Journal learns that the question of
First grade scholars this year was a
perplexing one and as the Board
did wish not put still another grade
into the town hall, it was finally
decided to crowd them into one
room and olace two teachers in
charge'. While this is temporarily
feasible it is hardly the best for
the children from a sanitary point
of view as well as from an educa
tional standpoint.
Present conditions indicate that
next year it will be necessary to
supply two rooms for each of the
First, Second, Third and Fourth
grades which means at least four
extra rooms.
This'fact brings up the import
ant question Where are these
rooms to be found in Perrysburg?
The Journal suggests that the
Board of Education look into the
possibilities of an addition to the
present building so that the man
agement ot the entire schools will
be carried on under one roof.
Every effort should be jnade to
make our schools the very best in
the state and tins is impossible in
their present crowded conditioit -

On Saturday last Mr. A. It.
Williams purchased and assumed
charge of the Grocery business
formerly conducted by Mr. R.
Fralic.
For some time past his son,
Elbert Williams has been employed
as clerk in this store and has famil
iarized himself with the business
sufficiently to enable him to under
stand the needs of the trade, and
until his father, Mr. A. R. Williams,
can leave his present position in
Toledo the son will look after the
Grocery business.
Mr. Williams is so well known
in Perrysburg and vicinity that he
needs no introduction and his
knowledge of business and extensive
acquaintance will be an assurance
of a successful career.
