Ford, of that township with whom he has been living since and to whom a child was born. The law deals lightly with such scoundrels who thus wantonly wreck and ruin hu- man lives and souls. Miss Ford is ot an excellent family, being a sister of John Ford, of Hudson township, and Mrs. E. E. Holt. Her father is dead and she was living witha widowed mother, About the most villianous and un- called for attack we have ever seen is that made by the Appleton City Journal upon ministers of the south- ern Methodist church, because they failed to attend decoration services at that place, which were held en Sun- day.
