liquor, we are not one particle better
than the dram-seller, and knowing the
evils that will follow, we are as guilty
as the traficers in liquor are.
Ihave no doubt brt tippLers are in
favor of license. Then they would
not have to slip in slyly at the back
door, but could aoazk in boldly at the
front door, and if q person saw them
there they could say, "you ooted to
make dram-selling honorable and le-
gal" The dram-sellers would also
prefer license, because they know
that there are many persons who be-
heve that whatsoever is legal, is right
and honorable.
My plan would be, to put an arti-
Gle in the Constitution, prohibiting
the importation, manufacture and
traffic in liquors as a 6e0erage, and
let druggists sell liquors for all other
purposes, just as they sell other pois-
oras, under proper restrictions. Elect
good men to Office, who will make
good Temperance laws, and then en-
force the laws strictly, and if we can
not adUG'ace, let us cling to no license.
Yours for the cause of Temperance,
FLORA.

Cenfaur LInimemf.

There is no pain which the Centaur Lininent WI
not relieve, no swelling it viii not subdue and i'o
lameness which 1t viii not cure. This Is strong
language but it is true Where the parts are gone,
its effects are marvellous. It has produced more
cures of rheumatism, neuralgia, lock-jaw, palsy,
sprains, swellinge, caked-breasts, scalds, burns,
salt-rheum, ear-ache, &C., upon the human frame,
and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C., upon animals In
one year than have ali other pretended remedies
since the world began. 1t is a counter-irritant an
a-healing pain reliever Cripples throw away their
crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites are rem
dered harmless and the wounded are healed without
a scar. 1t is no humbug. The recipe is published
around each bottle. 1t is selling as other article
before sold, and it sells because it does just
what it pretends to do. Those who now suffer from
rheumatism, pain or swelling, deserve to suffer If
they will not use Centaur Liniment. More than
1000 certificates of remarkable cures, including
frozen limbs, chronic-rheumatism, gout, running
tumors &C., have been received. We will send 8
circular containing certificates, the recipe, &C.,
gratis to any requesting it. One bottle of the
yellow wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth one
hundred dollars for spawned sweenied horses
and mules, or for screw-worm in sheep. Stock
owners-this liniment is worth your attention. No
family should be without Centaur Liniment. J. B.

VINO prefer it, the JOURNAL is put up in MONTHLY

ously apparent.

Resolutions Of Respect on the
Death of IL. w. Spargur, by
the HillsbOrO COrnet Band.
HMLsBoRo, MARCH 6, 1873.

HnLsBoRo, MARCH 6, 1873.
At regular meeting of the mem
bers of the Hillsboro Comet Band
held Thursday evening, March 9Th
on motion, ]. W. Ellis, Clark Lytle
and ]. R. Doggett were appointed
committee to draft appropriate reso
lutions expressive of the deep regret
and sorrow at the sudden death of r
W. Spargur, formerly leader, and
member of the Band since its first
organization.
The committee presented the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased Almighty
God, by this visitation of his divine
providence, to remove from us, by
the relentless hand of Death, our es-
teemed brother, friend and associate,
and
WHEREAS, We consider it right and
proper to give such expression of our
feelings as are appropriate to the oc-
casion, therefore,
ResoEoed, That in the death of r.
W. Spargur, the community has lost
a worthy and honorable citizen, suf-
fering humanity a warm advocate,
the family loving husband and a
kind and indulgent father, the lovers
of music an accomplished musician
and earnest student of the divine art,
and our organization bereft of a ge-
NAL companion, kind friend and hon
ored member.
ResoI0ed, That we will ever cherish
with fond recollection his memory,
and strive to emulate his good traits of
character, that made him an honored
name in society, where his loss will
be deeply felt.
ResoE0ed, That we tender the
stricken family and friends our heart
felt coincidence and sympathy, and
express the sadness we can not but
share with them, trusting tllat 'tHe
who tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" will be husband to the widow
and a father to the fatherless, and
that their wounded hearts may be
healed and their sorrows soothed.
ResolUed, That in memory of the
deceased, the Band room where we
were want to meet, shall remain clos
ed for the space of two weeks.
ResozOed, That copy of these res
olutions be sent to the family of the
deceased, and that the Secretary be
instructed to furnish copies for pub
ication in each of the county papers.

For Constitutional COnveu.
tiOn, Hon. John A. Smith.

The nomination of this gentleman
by the Republican Convention last
Saturday, was made on the first ballot,
and will be heartily supported by the
Republicans of the county. Mr..
Smith, it will be remembered, was a
member of the Convention which
framed the present Constitution, and
there seems a peculiar fitness in his
selection for the Convention which is
to revise and amend that instrument.
With full vote, there is no doubt Of
his election.
Mr.. Smith has not yet returned
from Washington, but we presume he
viii not not feel at liberty to decline
though he did not seek the nomina
ton.

Peaches Killed.

A. W. Whitmore, nurseryman, of Paines-
vile, Ohio, states that he has lost all of his
young peach trees-twenty thousand in
number. They are all frozen to the ground.
He estimates his loss at five thousand dol
lars. 1t will be found, we think, when
spring comes in, that most, if not all the
peach trees in this latitude have been killed
or badly injured So far as Ohio is con-
cerned, except it may be in the extreme
southern section, our peach crop will be
very short the coming season.

Home announcement.

Whatever you have to be done,
look around and see if your OWL
mechanics cannot do it. If you have
a house to build or shoe to tap,
saddle to be made, tin-ware to mend
house to paint, or pack of cards
bill heads, letter heads, circulars, OF
anything Of that kind to print, just
look among your home folks before
you send abroad, and if there is none
in your town capable of doing the
task, it will be time enough to lool
elsewhere.
