Those Advance Orders,

"Ir is a fact which should be known that
Higgins hostility to Commissioner Clark first as
umed shape, when he was refused more county
riders in advance of work performed. He was in
ebted to the county over hundred dollars, at the
time, for advance orders, and Mr.. Clark desired to
lsvc the "old score " cleared up, before issuing
uore. About this time we purchased the Journal
dice, and il was only by an extraordinary effort,
hlhe part of MIR. Clark that the county was no!
Wmdlcd out Of its dues The tricky dog bounced
bout like cat in hot oven, but he found al
livery jump, no cooler spot 04s hundred doiidrs
lad TO be secured by us, before bills of our
lwn making would be honorcd.
Let MS particulariIc n little June 18th, 1859, he
obtained advance orderot three hundred dollars.
October 18th, same year, he obtained another ad-
vance order for fifty dollars. January 22ud, same
year he obtained orders from John Webb then
County Clerk, for the sum Of one hundred and two
dollars aud forty cents. After this last order was
given, in May, same year, Mr.. Webb, loaned Hig-
gins twenty FIVE dollars in cash for two weeks. At
the June session he was 70 repay Mr.. W. the or
ders. To this day all that has been received is
forty-nne dollars worth of orders for legal print
ing leaving balance dus Mr.. Webb, with in
,erest. of nearly one hundred dollars The ad-
vance orlers obtained from the county, allowed
10 stand from June 1889 until January 1850, and
hi. bills against the county were houored the same
AS though advance orders were not obtained AT
ter January he began to let his bills offset his in
drbtedness, and up to the time We purchased the
office he had paid about two hundred and ffty-siS
dollars leaving us to assume ninety three dollars
and forty cents. Add TO this five dollars and
tweuty-eight cents interest and the full amount as
sumed syu was ninety-eight dollars and sixty
eight cents.
On taking ccptrol of the JoUrsai, we made oul
first payment in cash. and therefore bad no morS
right TO assume his indebtedness to the county
than W. had to assume his Indebtedness to anybody
else, because our terms of purchasing did not re
quire any more cash until the following year, How
ever, shortly after We had bill against the county

less we would assume the said debt, MI q, sAiI
If Mr. Higgins intended 10 swindle private citizens
he should not the county, SO there being no oihe
alternative Higgins came 10 MS and asked us 20 as
sumo the debt and he would pay the interest Their
were several other advanced orders obtained by
Higgins previous % this, but time and space for
bids mention Of them here. We repeat tho charg'
that Mr. Clarks anxiety about the country's inter
eats was the 6rst cause of Higgins hostility 10

A Serious Charge-The Butternut Candi-
date for Commissioner Exposed.

Som! four or five years ago the work of construct
ing bitches was under the control of the Township
Trustees. Jobs of ditch letting were done under
their supervision, and an order from them showing
that the work had been performed was she au,hori'
by which the Auditor was governed in assessing
special tax the property benefited by the ditch.
George Hill, Esq, the aspirant for County Commis-
sioner the Vallandgham Ia cOnsery alive ticket,
took contract obligatiug himself to construct part
of certain ditch in Milton township. lie COM
menced the work, and, when about half finished,
finding he couldnot get it done in time to enter upon
the books for that year, went to the Trustees and
asked for an order. This was given him upon his
honol q, a gentleman that he would put on force
the following week sufficient to conclude the work
in fortnight. The Auditor levied a tax, and it
was collected and paid over to Mr.. Hill, amount
ing to about ninety dollars and to this day not an
other stroke has deem put upon said ditch by him
Ii this was not clear case of swindling, then We
never heard ofone, 1t cannot even come under the
milder term of obtaining money under false pre-
tences.
This man, Hill, is a supporter of Mr.. Waite, and
takes every opportunity TO abuse Mr. Ashley eharg-
ing him with desire 10 defrapi the Government.
IL cannot be charged with a 'sre to commit fraud;
the records show that il was .c,ually committed in
his case. With this fact b'ore the people, can
they afford to trust the irere rs Of the county to =
man with such recOrd1 We have heretofore
charged that the cry of the opposition was to distract
attention from the corrupt and base purposes, which
underlie the scheming of their own operations.
These charges are being developed every day. To
the constituency Of this county and district we say
"stand from under" Their object is to get control
of County, State aud Federal offices; and finally re
duce the North 90 degree Of humiliation that will
make every freeman's cheek blush with shame.

How TO Make Dnndages.

Many persons are daily inquring how bandages
for wounded soldiers should be prepared They
should be made from cotton that has been washed;
old cotton which will bear hard pull will answer
the purpose.
Bandages an inch wide should be one yard long:
two and two and half inches wide three yards
long; three and half inches wide, five yards long;
four inches wide, six yards long. Many more of
the two and two and half inch bandages are re-
quired than either the narrower wider
They should be pieced by tapping one raw edge
over the other, fiat, and should be tightly sewed.
Selvedges must al be remoyed-and the bandage
tightly rolled and pinned.
These are the directions of the United States
Sanitary Commission, taken from their Circular.
Their directions in regard to lint are that it should
be raveled from old damask linen cloth cut four
or,fve inches square, laid straight, not tied and
packed firmly in paper boxes. The broken threads
may be preserved in a separate parcel.
An Earnest Appeal in Behalf of the See
ceding Sufferers.
DEAR JOURNAL | have just looked over that
statement Of j. NJ. Ashley, in that case of unheard
ofiraud and corruption, brought to light by the un-
selfish efforts of Mr.. Waite and his kind and truly
patriotic friends,
No man of proper principle could think for one
minute, without horror, of a Congressman, or Sur
yeyor General of Territory, using their money to
buy property that would be likely to rise rapidly in
value. As this man Ashley has, while a Congress
man, been convicted of proposing to do such Il
thing, who can doubt the propriety of collecting
out of every party under the (and the further
unlnr tha hptterl Suph ne havp hann dpfraudpd nf
the rich desires of their lives, by stupid, gaping
people, giving the plans of honor and profit to such
men as Ashley, that so manifestly belong to them.
That shows that You are one of the stupid. They
gan it clearer than day down there. Stop your
stupid objections, and let these sufferers have a
pitch at that fellow Ashley.
They had Convention few days ago, at Bowl
ing Greeu aud certainly it required great penc-
.ratiou to see, that most of them had been deprived
of their dues. Suffering every hand was the or
der of the day in that little village. You see that
well-dresscd man yonder by himself? He looks
we'll IN the distance. He has learned well to as
sume the attitudes of the refined man. Come closer,
What do you now A sufferer. That man.
Ashley, has come between him and his rights.
These are times of suffering, The Democratic
aborer suffers because the negro does work that
an honest body might do, Others suffer for strin-
gent laws TO prevent the long -heeed race from 60
ng before the white man. And the Southern Con
ederacy is suffering for their rights, To enslayC
whom they will. What more appropriate, thar
hat these sufferers, in the Bowling Green Con
Senton, should try to combine the whole of the
sufferers in support of Mr.. Waite, with the motto
Wait and suffer, and suffer and Waite"

A Hint to the Young Ladies.

LONELINESS! Ttisnotyour costly dress, ladies.
your expensive shawl, or gold-laden fingers.
Men Of good sense look far beyond these. II
is your character they study--deportmen IT
you arc trining and loose in your conversation,
no matter if you arc beautiful ns an angel,
you have no attraction for them. If It is the
iovelincss of nature that attracts the first atten-
tion; it is the moral and mental excellence and
cultivation that wins and continues to retain
the affection of the heart. Young ladies sadly
miss il who labor to improve their outward
looks while they bestow little or no thought on
their minds and hearts. Fools may be won by
gewgaws and fashionable dresses, but the wise.
purdent aud substantial are never caught by
such traps. Let modesty and virtue be your
dress. Use pleasant and truthful language,
study to do good, and though you may not be
courted by the fop, the truly great will love to
linger in your steps.
A story is told of Dick, darkey, in Ken
lucky who was notorious thief, So vicious in
this respect that all the theft in the neighbor-
hood was charged on him; one occasion. Mr.
Jones, neighbor of Dicks master, called and
said Dick must be sold out of that part of the
country, for he had stolen all Of his( Mr..
Jones) turkeys. Dicks master could not
think so. The two. however, went into the
field where Dick was at work, and accused him
OF the lnelI
"You stole Mr.. Jones' turkeys" said the
master.
"No didn't massa,' responded Dick.
The master persisted.
"Wel, nt length said Dick, "I'll tell your
massa; ! didn't steal dem turkeys; but last
night when went across Mr.. Jones paster I
saw one of our rails on de fence, so I brought,
home de rail, and found out, when came to
look, dar was nine turkeys on de rail-"
