want and almost 81 real physical suf-
fering, in our very midst, which peo-
pie generally here In town know
nothing about. ls &c PC
We would respectfully call upon the
Christian ladies to consider whether
they ought not to organize among
themselves an Aid Society, whose OBJ
ject should be in the first place to find
where real want exists, and In the
second place to collect and distribute
relief.
Why should women do this? Be.
cause they can find out much easier
than men can where the real want oil
help IL. Because they can collect more
in charity, and with less effort, than
men can. Because they can distribute
needed relief in much better and
more acceptable manner than men.
There are dozens of men here in
town who never would know of any
suffering, because they are always en-
crossed with their business; but II any
known and respected agent Of such q
Society called on them for contribu.
ton, they would willingly give cash,
flour, cosl, meat or other. aid, when
told what was needed and assured that
1t would be properly applied.
1.-THE poor ye have always with
YOU" 1t is our belief that there is nc
lack Of Christian charity among oul
people, but that there is need of some
organized way of finding out where
want exists and of collecting and dis
tributing aid.

CAUGHT AGAIN.-Young Martin
Conway Is always in trouble. He Is
troubled with what in rich folks ia
called kleptomania and IN poor folks
Is called u propensity for thieving.
He Is always Mt some mcanness or
other. Last Tuesday morning We saw
four men on horseback driving him
out Of town on foot before them. He
had been stealing some clothing down
about Columbia last Friday night
from whom, and OF what value, we did
not learn. Young Conway inherited
all his meanness; and theoretically we
suppose he can't help 1t. Practically,
however, he has no right to run at
large. 1t might not be best to send
him to the Penitentiary for life; but
Why can't he have y chance In the
Reform school?

To JAMES A. ALEsHIRE:


ST$-I have no reply to make to
you about your article in the Herald Of

told you when you showed it to me,
that it was batch of lies. 1 say so
yet. But you choose to say;
"It was only last Fan, q short time befote tho
election, that five prominent citizens of your
town, coseted themselves in some secret place,
on Sunday, too, and there played cards for mon
ey, until some dissatisfaction occurred, after
Which one of the number brought suit before

Now ] say that is false, sc far as any
candidate was concerned, and | demand
the name of that candidate. Every
man whom l supported last fall was
elected, and that candidate must now
be one ofthe county officers. Give me
his name. l heard that report last fall,
and 4 made inquiry, and the candidate
convinced me by sworn testimony that
on the Sunday in question he was in
Portsmouth all day. Therefore I sup
ported him. But give me his name,
and he will prove you a liar to your
teeth. Then the community will know
what reliance to place in your other
statements. You have made the above
charge as a tsct. Now you mast give
the name of that candidate, or stand
before this community as sneakinS
cowardy liar. If you make good your
charge, must go under.

Hon. John II. Klippart, Secretary,
has sent us a kind invitation to attend
the Ohio State Fair. We would surely
attend, if it were not for the fact that
our health will not permit us to travel

The Fair will be held at Springfield,
commencing on Monday, September
18th, and continue until Friday even
ing, the 10th.
Among the railroad arrangements,
we find the following, as to roads be-
tween this point and Springfield: All
freights to the Fair, when returned to
the original owner, at the same point
from which they were shipped, will be
carried free or which win amount to
the same thing, the money will be re-
funded. Most Of the railroads will car
ry passengers at half fare.
