The Raids Death.
On his phantom steed, with passions speed
Death sweeps his circuits wide
Through every zone he rides alone
With dread as his weird bride
Pause and think
On the brink
Of the tide
Dim and wide
In the gloom
OF thy doom
Passing thee.
With a mOckng glee, DER every sea,
He gathers his tracking storm,
And he hunts down life, in its gasping strife,
In every breathing form.
With his muffed feet his courser fleet
Ger takes each flying man,
And summons him loud in every crowd
To tramp in his
Ponder! Sigh
Each must die,
Vengeful death
in each breath
COnquers Life.
To the laughing child and the savage wild,
To the maiden III mystic light
To the rayless mind, in mission kind
To hope with its beamngs bright
TO the proud and great in pomp of state
To all of vagrants birth
To the heart of grief like smitten leaf
To all CT this moaning earth
Hastens death.
Ponder Death.
Inky waves,
Silent graves,
All around
Thee abound

MORE ARGUMENT.

In a scurrilous article upon our County Commits
soners, the Adeocatc states that the reason they
oppose the removal of the county-seat "may be
found in the fact that it takes them about days
to go to and return from Perrysburg, and there.
fore they get pay for two days work more each
time they meet than they would if their meetings
were at Bowling Green" At the close of the same
article the statement is made that with these same
Commissioners "the interests of the county aud
justice to the people weigh but little against
sugar-cured hams and sugar-eoated Aattery. /"
We do not propose to enter into any defense of our
present Commissioners. They need none. The
faithGulness and assiduity with which they attend
to the duties of their Office is better defense than
we could make The people know them, appreci-
ate their services, and regard such low flung at
tacks as contemplate and unworthy of notice.
Indeed we should make no notice of it, but for the
purpose of showing another of the arguments used
for the removal Of the couaty-seat. Project and
argument are alike worthy of each other.

WEAR AND TEAR OF our COUNTY
RVfII,nINC,S.

A correspon lent Of the Bowling Green paper, in
an issue several weeks since, called into question
our statement, that "the expenses incurred for
repairs Of the ordinary wear and tear Of the court
house and Jail, during the past ten years is less
than one thousand dollars" This statement, he
says, is "a magnificent leap over the truth"
"Satan expressed greater falsehood in fewer
words" and that we made the state ment. 60 know
ing it to be false" He says it can be proven
false by the Check Register, at the Auditors office
BY that Check Register we stand, and challenge
the proof. He further proposes to furnish cor
rect statement from that Register, Of the amount Of
money "paid out Of the county funds for material
work, labor, etc., in, around and upon the county
buildings for the ten wears last past, and for
commencement begin with the last June session Of
the Commissioners and run back to the September
term of 1882" But he Immediately let's down"
with the excuse that it would {" be somewhat
tedious to detail each item, therefore he dismisses
the reader with +" the gross amount of the expense
between the dates above mentioned" which he
fixes at s2,672 81. He promised to furnish in the
next issue OF that paper the amount of expense for
the years SO, 80, co. 6l, but that is the last that
the anxious reader has heard from this "Shiverton
Shaker"
Now we propose to lay before our readers every
item of expense upon repairs of the county build.

This is the sum total during the last four years.
In the fall of 1852, a new addition was built to
the Jail at cost of 5000 25 but this sum does not
come under the item of ordinary wear and tear.
But suppose we add this to the total sum of re-
pairs, we have a grand total of 81 ,567 72-just
Sl,l05 10 less than the total published by the
Bowling Green correspondent. Figures won't lie,
if others dc, and we challenge a different result,
shown from the books, from that we have given
above. The total given by the Adoocate is indeed
magnificent leap over the truth" but what better
can be expected when facts are so utterly ignored
and every species of Misrepresentation is resorted
to in order to establish cause that has neither
Right nor Justice as its foundation,

THE COST.

number of those who are in favor of the re-
moVal of the couuty-seat are prone to speak with
coDtempt Of the estimates made by many in regard
20 the cost of new buildings. They regard $50 900
or $4,000 for new county buildings, as beyond
precedent and cut of all character. In our neigh.
boring county, Lucas, $4,000 or upward have
been expended upon the erection of a new Jail
building alone. 1t is well for taxpayers to think
1pon this matter, that they may cast their vote
for or against, with an intelligent understanding
Of all the bearings upon the question.

THE LATEST ARGUMENT.

One of the latest arguments promulgated by
the Bowling Green Adpocate in favor of the re-
moval Of the countyseat, springs from the iueou-
venience that would arise to those living along the
line of rairoad and to non-residents in getting to
Bowling Green. They would be compelled to
stop at some convenie't point on the railroad and
hire conveyance to take them to and from the
iAoOnvsnient location of the county buildings.
. This trade" says the Adcooate, would at once
add much to the hotel and livery trade of each of
the abOve-uamed points Haskins, Tontogaly and
Weston, and would give new life and growth to
those places" We think we see through it now

FACTS FOR VOTERS.

KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That the removal Of the county-scat to Bowl
ing Green will be at the sacrifice of the interests
and convenience Of c-thirds of the taxpayers
of Wood County.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE,
That the Bowling Green Adpooate, failing in
the presentation of substantial reasons for the
removal of the county seat, brands all those who
will vote against it as FooLs or KNAvEs, unfit
to exercise the right of suffrage. Is not the cause
a weak one that requires such vituperative boil
stering as this2
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
the insecurity of the county buildings at Perrys-
burg are false that, on the contrary, the present
county buildings are in good and substantial
trim, in every regard and will serve the pur-
poses of the county for many years to come i
fact to which our county officials, and all disin-
terested parties in the habit of visiting these
buildings, are willing to testify.
KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That the lowest estimated costs for new county
buildings range from S75,sOO to 100000 and
that in case of the removal of the county seat,
this sum will be imposed upon the taxpayers of
the county, in addition to the already large sums
they pay out annually for United States, State,
county, school, ditch, road and other purposes.
Is it net better to await the time when our pres
ent burdens will be measurably lightened, before
we assdme still heavier burden?
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE PEOPLE.
That the statement that it is the design of the
friends of removal, in case the vote goes in
their favor to induce the County Commissioners to
construct buildings at this place, that will cost
from 500, 900 to $15O,OOO, the whole sum to be
raised by taxaton-IS FALSE! The statement
is "cut out of whole CLOTH" and is without the
there is not word of truth in it, is the fact, tha
such procedure is NOT AUTHORIZED BY LAW
as there is an express act in relation to this matter
passed April A, 1866, which says that the Commits
sioners shall not erect any county buildings, "bl
which larger amount of money or expense is in
wOlved than Ten Thousand Dollars, WITHOUT FRS
SUBMITTING THE QUESTION, as to the policy of sucl
outlay or expense involved therein, TO THE QUAIL
FLED VOTERS OF THE'ooUNry." Thus it will b.
that the people have this matter. entirely il

their employees to the contrary notwithstanding.
