VIM DEAN, Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee Of this State, has re.
signed his position, and we publish his reasons
In another column. Though progressive
man in State politics, and one of marked indie
pendence of thought and action, Mr.. Dean has
not been caught in the whirlwind Of sentiment
that has revolutionized the ideas of so many
Of his partizans. His convictions of lifetime
could not be reversed III a single day. simply
by the force of circumstances. He has estab-
lished his position so unequivocally that he
could not brook the self qualification that would
rest upon him by an endorsement of Greeley.
At the Delegate Convention at Dover, in June,
Mr.. Dean asserted, in speech on the question
Of equal representation, that he would never
vote for Horace Greeley while his head was
on his shoulders that he would suffer the loss
Of bis right arm first. This sentiment, which
was applauded to the echo by two.thirds of
the members of the Convention, was, without
doubt, as honestly expressed as it was honest
ly applauded, and Mr.. D. proposes to practice
it as faithfully as he preached it, in defiance
Of the ridicue of many of those who so loudly
endorsed him. He proposes 10 be true to his
rec ri.

Old winter, which sought to hold
all in its icy grasp with such fearful
hold in the outset, seems to have re.
linquished for time, and we find our.
selves surrounded with warm weather

Within the last few months the
temperance cause has been agitated
quite extensively in our midst, and
has not yet decreased the amount Of
drunkenness to a proper degree that
has beer stigma upon the good fame
of. our town. Men seem to regard the
morals of the community of but very
little account, or even their own repu-
tation, if they are able to fill their
Golfers with i'll bought gains; regard
ing little the corruption of rising
youth or the destruction of the happi-
ness of all classes of community. 1t
is not pleasing sight to see young
men who ought to be worshiping
their God, whileing away the holy
Sabbath in drunken orgies, nor is it a
happy sight TO see old men, burdened
with declining years pouring out this
contaminating poison for filthy gain,
when they should be at home with
their families respecting morality,
public good and their Maker.
Last Tuesday an election was held
to fill the office of mayor, which was

There were two parties in the field,

Obituary.

DIED.-In Ravenna, Ohio, January
I'd, 1872, of consumption, Caroline
wife of Lansing Kellogg. aged g.
years.
Mrs. kellogg was born in Hudson.
Summit county, Ohio, October 9Th
1909, and was the daughter of David
and Sarah Bishop, who were among
the first settlers of that township
Her opportunities for an education
were only such as the common schools
in the early settlement of Hudson af-
forded. When little past seventeen
years of age she married Lansing
kellogg, with whom she lived over
A years and by whom she was the
mother of eleven children. She leaves
a husband, one son, six daughters, and
some twenty grandchildren to mourn
their irreparable loss.
Of the surviving children, Mary A,
is the wife of j. B. Ellsworth, residing
in Hudson, o.. Helen G. married j.
C. Harmon, now living in Eaton Co.
Michigan, Angeline r. married A. G..
Buel, and also resides in Eaton Co.,
Mich, Lavina S. married j. E. Sharp,
Sylvia A, VIM. Allen, Caroline A.,
Rodney Phelps, and the son Alfred
L. are all residents of Ravenna.
When about .twenty years of age,
Mrs. Kellogg united with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, continuing q
worthy and devoted member nntil
1867, when she adopted and continued
in the happy enjoyment of the..Spiritu-
al belief. that death is but the grand
accoucner of the soul, which is to
usher 1t into light and life eternal
She possessed warm affections and a
kind, noble, generous heart, hence her
constant love and sympathp for all
phrases of humanity. The needy and
suffering were ever objects of her
heartfelt solicitude and special care
As wife and mother she was wise, de-
voted, self-sacriicing and affectionate.
Like the pure and noble Cornelia, if
called upon to display her brightest
jewels, she could present her children,
nursed and instructed by her own
hands. She has gone; but the story
of her life as daughter, sister, wife,
mother, friend. presents a beautiful
picture, which will neither fade nor
be forgotten. Con-.

She was three years old last June.
At this time gives from five to six
quarts of milk per day, aud makes one
and one-fourth pounds butter per
day, and it has been eight months
SINCE she came in. Weighs less than6O0
lbs., and eats about one-half as much

the first Jersey cow ever owned in
this county, therefore, Mr.. Ford is the

the delegation stood one Democrat
