"Fairfield Ledger", September 3, 1868

EDITORS LEDGER. --- Brookville is marching on. The Baptist Church, under the skillful management of Mr. E. G. DERDURFF, is nearly completed. When finished it will speak well for the public spirit of the place.

Our blind broom-maker, Mr. THOMPSON, is again employed at his trade. He is building a dwelling house, evidently intending to leave the state of single blessedness. May success attend him.

In this connection I wish to mention friend WILLIAMS, who recently enlisted for life. Dole is a good fellow, and made a good choice. May peace and prosperity attend him and his fair bride.

Yesterday evening our village was excited by the announcement of the wedding of Mr. John GANTZ. That’s right, John. My best wishes attend you and your excellent helpmate. CLINTON.
