Shelby Daily Globe

THROWBACK THURSDAY

Submitted News Briefs in the Shelby Chronicle from May 16 and May 30, 1867

The following content was made available due to the efforts of Shelby’s Marvin Memorial Library.

Not Done Yet- There is a drain that has an outlet on Gamble Street that needs reconstructing as the water coming from it will not run off but will stand in a puddle in front of a neighboring door, we are in hopes that it will become ashamed of itself soon.

To All Whom It May Concern- It would speak much better for the bringing up of some persons that do not live more than a thousand miles from Shelby. If they would not stop on the sidewalks in front of houses where they may happen to hear some loud noise going on inside of the house.

Dogs And Sheep In Ohio- The monthly report of the Agricultural department of

Ohio, for the month of March, gives 13,582 as the number of sheep destroyed by dogs in thirty-one counties of this State during the year 1866, the largest number in any State in the Union but one—illinois, 16,167.—The whole number in thirty-five States runs up to 186,427 which estimated at $4 per head, would make a total loss of $527,700.

Mean- We are loath to acknowledge that there are mean persons in our town; but we must do so. There is a certain class who are abundantly able to pay for the Chronicle, who excuse themselves for not taking it, that they can read neighbor M’s, and thus cheat the printer out of his dies. These persons are always on the lookout for the carrier boy, and as soon as he has left a paper in the store they pick it up, and the man who has paid his money for the paper must wait until these mean stingy folks read his paper, and get through abusing the editor for something, he has said, or because there are so many advertisements that they

cant read all day.

Rain! Rain!!- But with all the rain and wet weather that we have had, and are likely to have, Honest John is ready to supply the inhabitants of Shelby with boots and shoes in large or small quantities, depending entirely upon the size of the purchaser's understanding. Ladies, just call and see his elegant stock of gaiters. The poet who sang, “If you have a pretty foot, show it,” must have seen a pretty foot encased in a gaiter that its fair owner had purchased from John.

New Law- By a recent law passed by the Ohio Legislature, and after July 1st, 1867, all births and deaths must be registered with the Probate Judge of the county, with the sex and name. A failure to comply with the law subjects a penalty of $10 for each offense.

Lively- Saturday last, was a very busy day in our little town, at one time there were 75 teams on the street, and more coming.
