The Conservative. (M'connelsville, Ohio) 1866-1871, 1869-12-03
TuE oIilnstrotod Herald. - OF last

view Of She fact, suggests the idea OF
holding various entertainments, ~
mong which he mentions that of a
"dramo," TO dispcl the prospective
ennui. THIS is wclltimod by this
"thcairical' asplrant, and reminds
us of the anccdOtc of two lovers, who |
sat for somo time very quiot at
length, however, tho young lady !
somo llttlo uhcasiness,
having become thoroughly worked |
up to the zcnith Of this mode Of
coWting, sbo exclaimed : "John
don't - Whcrcupon John replied,
al waren't dom anything" "Wcll,

young aspirunt Of the Herald, no
doubt, feels very much relieved af-
tor the subsidency of tho recent Ag-
ricultural distrcssodncss into which
his unscrupulous nav for money
had procipitatcd him, and now pro
poses the above subsidiary as ro-
sort to supply any want Of our cons

that "ennui" will descend upon us
the coming winter. While tLcso
long, drcary winter nights draw
Themselves slowly into tho dead
past, why could not oar Ontcrpris-
ing citizens engage themselves, 9th
or IN public or private meetings, in
dcvising some project by which to
afford the poor laboring clrss, WHOM
ye have always, ample employment
and also alleviate the general mo
notony Of tho whole county incident
upon tho non-improvcd condition
OF that same. It's true, to talk OF
Railroads, Piko.roads, Plank-rOads,
or Roads of any kind, seems to be
q matter of almost hopeless anticIN
patton; but, in as much as tho "Illus.
trated" keeps a standing request at
the head of ITS local column, man
ifcsting thereby n hopo that ono or
