WOOL AND WOODEN GOODS.
JAMES AND JACK.

well, Jack, what are you going to do with
your wool this season.
II do not know, James Heretofore took my
wool TO town and traded it at the stores for wool
en- goods. got good price for the wool, and
goods were cheap but my wife i'd always patch
ing-the boys look ragged"
Ibid you ever trade your wool at the factory oil
SIEBEL d CO., at Oskaloosa, for their goods ?"
II have never traded there. Iheard much good
news about their goods and had made up my mind
last season to go there, but when / passed the
Square with any wool, the " DOL buyers complete
ly surrounded my wagon. l had to stop, else
might have hurt some of them. They then began
to argue how well they would do for me, so
much better than any else i'll the world. At
last they ed me to let them have my wool.
They gave me good price for it and their goods
were cheap, but my wife told the other day
she used half of these goods to keep the other
half in repair
81 pity YOU Jack; but they served you right
We need factories at home, and should never for
get to support them all we possibly can; besides,
have traded at SIEBEL q cos for three years
and find my boys do not look ragged, neither
does my wife wear herself out patching.
you are right, james. shall bring my wool
to them hencefOrth ard share in the blessings you
have enjoyed for the last three years. Good morn
ing, James"
James to himsef-''I know Jack will be much
benefited by doing so, and am glad he is going
TO try it."

Railroad Meeting.

A meeting will be held in Town Hall,
Millersburg, on Wednesday evening,
Sept. Goth, 1871, in the interest of the
Cleveland & Marietta Railroad. Hon. M
Welker and others, will be present to
address the people and give full partic-
ulars in regard to the project. tE.
To secure the connection at Cam
bridge with the Marietta Road which is
completed as far Caldwell, making di-
rect line from Cleveland to Marietta, it
behooyes the citizens of Coshocton,
Holmes and Wayne counties to do what
they are going to do Immediately. There
is no time to be lost. If we delay, the
Tuscarawas route may be established
and then it will be harder than ever, il
possible at all, to secure it. The ad-
vantages of this route are many. In
the first place it shortens the route 70
Toledo about fifty or sixty miles, making
direct line from Northern to South
eastern Ohio, from thence through Vir-
ginia to the Ocean. In the next place
it will open vast coal fields which are
yet unexplored, which would be great
source of profit. But now is the time
to act, and what we do, we must do
quickly. Let the citizens of Millers-
burg, Wooster and Coshocton make one
united effort to secure the road.

Not Right.
" Look before you leap,


For as you sow, you'relike to reap"
Some parents are too neglectful OF
their duty toward their children. Teach
ing them right from wrong is the great
responsibility resting on every parent.
They should not only advise and coax
child to do that which isright, but in
culcate them to obey their word. Not
by brutal force. O, no; there are far
better ways than that. A parent wants
to get the fear of their children so when
they speak the child will listen with
fear; paying strict regard to what may
be said to it. If a child has been brought
up with the proper care and instruction
it is very rare indeed, if it goes astray
into forbidden paths. Deeper and more
lasting impressions are moulded in the
mind in childhood than any other peri
cd of their existence. The mind of n child
resembles, in some respects, the potter's
clay, it can be made into something that
will some day become useful, bnt after
1t hardens by neglect, then there is lit
Tie or no hope, for "as the twig is bent
so the tree inclines." We thought of
this the other Sabbath when we observed
a-half dozen or more of little boys, their
ages running from ten to twelve years,
busily engaged in playing ball, while
Others, too small to play, were umpiring
the game with shameful oaths. Now,
this is very wicked. We are Of the opin-
ion that those boys have not been re-
ceiving the right admonition from their
parents. 1t is gross shame that such
proceedings are tolerated. If their par
ents do not take charge of them the
marshal should.

Democratic Speech.

The Hon. VIM. Heisly, of Cleve land
who was the Democratic candidate fol
Secretary of State last year, addressed
the Democracy in Town Hall, on Thurs
day evening last. The Hall was toler-
ably well filled, but a great many left
before the speaker was through. The
speech was nothing more nor less than a
TRADE of abuse. We have heard quite
a number of Democrats say that they
were greatly disappointed in the man,
and that such remarks would do no
good. Hewent so far as to say that, as
a matter of opinion of his own, "there
was no necessity for the late war;" and
chad it not been for the Republicans in
Congress, there wouldn't have been any
war" just so. The same old story
again. Had it not been for. those
staunch Republican-lovers of their
country's liberties, where should we
have been to-day. The Southern Con-
federacy would have been established,
and the Union, which our forefathers so
much loved, would have been disbanded.
Such speaking only tends to do good to
the glorious principles of the Republi-
can party, as every reading man knows
who was responsible for the late war.

The Meeting at Nanalean.

The meeting at Napoleon, Holmes Co.
on Saturday afternoon last, was pretty
well attended. A train left Millersburg
about 2 O'Clock containing our Fire
Company, the Band and a number of
other citizens. Quite a number of those
who went from here visited the summit.
MIR. Eshelman of the Wooster Democrat,
and HID. Mcdowell, were the principal
speakers. The former dwelt upon the
Judgeship principally, so we are told,
having no mercy for Mr.. Critchfield,
while the latter was mum on Judge mat
tiers and said very little in many ,oords,
and as several Democrats said, got mat
tiers pretty well muddled up" The
train arrived at Millersburg in the eve
ming. We noticed several Gf not more)
persons who seemed very tired. Ma
poleon lemonade evidently did not agree
with them.

The Fair..A Novel Foot Race.

A new feature in foot racing will b,

Crashed by a Horse.

On Tuesday morning Willie, the
youngest son of the Hon. James Mon
roe, met with very bad accidentwhich
for time will confine him to his bed.
Willie and his brother Charley were
staying during vacation on Mr.. Press
ley's farm, and both boys, on Tuesday
about noon, were riding horses from the
fields to the house when Willie's horses
foot became entangled in the harness.
The horse became unmanageable and
threw Willie to the ground, and in his
efforts to free himself from the en-
tangled harness stumbled and fell upon
the prostrated boy. The result of the
accident was that Willie had his right
arm broken in two places between the
elbow and wrist; his left collar-bone
was dislocated, and he received other
injuries about the thighs, the nature of
which could not be determined. DIR.
johnson was speedily called to Mr..
Pressley's, and had Willie conveyed
home, where he bound up his wounds.
1t is very likely that Mr.. Monroe will
be prevented from filling some of his
present engagements to speak in the
canvass, as he is attending the wants Of
his sick sOn.-Oberlin Ne,rS.

The Fair.

Not quite two weeks time till the Fair
begins. 1t opens on Tuesday the 2eth,
and continues four days. 1t is now high
time that everything be in readiness to
be brought in for exhibition. If the
weather should prove favorable, we
think there will be a fine exhibition.
OF course we can only judge from what
We hear. Our farmers seem to be taking
an interest in it that they have not
shown for several years. We, hope
every one, who has anything that is
worth showing to their friends, will
bring it in so that all may have the
pleasure of looking at it. Farmers,
bring in your stock, the accommoda-
tions will be good. Plenty of water on
the grounds. Mechanics, bring along
the workmanship of your hands, in Or
der that we ali may see what you can
do. Let the artist bring his paintings,
his pictures, his handiwork. And, ladies,
let Floral Hall this year surpass, by far,
what it has ever been before. 1t can be
done very easily if every one will just
take hold and do something. And we
say again, as We said before that the
prospect is promising for good Fair.

Clean Tn,

Don't wait for the Marshal to notify
you, but go to work at once, and put
your premises in sanitary condition.
Get lime and sprinkle all damp places.
Use copperas to disinfect your out
houses and all places that need cleaning.
Chloride of lime is also good-clean up,
and especially your pig pen. We know
of some in this place that are fostering
nuisances. For your own health's sake,
do 1t, and if you have not done it, when
you read this article, don't stop mo-
ment, but clean it up, and lime it well.
