On Thursday of this week, the management of the Rapid Transit Company passed into the hands of dr. J* W. Neff, the vice president, caused by the resignation of W. A. Heller as superintendent. Mr. Heller expects' to look after the interests of the Fairmount Construction Cora- muy whoare constructing a double rack into Dayton. . I t is stated that Hr.'Heller will be on Mr. Neff’s staff during the construction of the Xenia and Ccdarville line. The company are taking no action at present toward the construction of our road, as they are waiting on a party of Wilberforec leople in regard to a private right of way. Things seem to be somewhat >righter at present than, they have been in the past, many thinking that the.road had “ fell, through.” Among the visitors and delegates to l;he Synod here this week, are James, Finley arid Henry Fustei. These mothers were horn and praised here, and have quite a circle of friends who were glad'to meet-them again. TheNewDrewCurtain. . A hew drop curtain adorns the Op. era House. Two men by the names of Martin and Schanble furnished the curtain for the advertising they could put on it. The old curtain, which was somewhat torn and broken on the Bide, was taken down and flowed away. ' The new curtain ^loes very well for a secondary one to drop between acts, but the trustees should appro­ priate a sufficient ?sum to repair the old curtain, as it is too fine a piece of paintiug to permanently discard.

We the undersigned, wish to thank, through the columns of the Herald, especially Mr. Karih Bull,, the editor, for notices for Decoration Day from time to time; the choir for their most excellent music, also Mr. James Murry and school children for flag drill arid the citizens for their largo attendance aud liberal’patronage.
