There is little doubt but that the case will be appealed on the ground that the dam- age allowed is insufficient, The case was heard Thursday and Friday of last week. Upon the presentation of the peti- tion the Court appointed John A. Woodward, John Holmes, Bolomon Peck, William Pealer and Henry Meyer as viewers or jurors, with J. C. Meyer as master to hear the case, and take such action as to their judgment would be for the best interests of the taxpayers and citizens of the Court. Fortney & Fortney represented the petitioners ; Gettig, Bower & Zerby looked after the interest of the county; John Blanchard represented the turn- pike corporation, and Clement Dale opposed the comdemnation on behalf of the townships Bpring and College, but more particularly College town- ship, arguing that the maintaining of of the road by the townships would be a burden to the taxpayers, s—————— ——— Thanksgiving Day Supper The members of Progress Grange will hold their annusl Thanksgiving Day supper in Grange Arcadia, from four to ten o'clock.
