MAJOR ALLEN is the fourth Gov.
ernor that Ross county has furnish
ed the State of Ohio. The Chilli
collie advertiser says three of these
have lived on the same hill within
sight Of that city, and two Of them
in the same house. 1t might have
added that Ross county is the birth
place and home of the only lady In
Ohio, whose father and grand-fath-
er have filed the position Of Chic

IT is stated that FRANCIS SHADES
has departed from this part of the
country, where he had resided for
more than twenty-three years, for
some country entirely unknown to
a number of unfortunate people
hereabout, who had loaned money
and sold wheat unto him-and last
of all, endorsed his notes to the
amount of many, many hundreds
Of dollars. 1t is said that his in
debtedness is about $4,000. Now,
we should like to know Why it is
that man cannot leave this county
honorably? Why is it that the de-
partures have to be made in this
manner2 If men want to run
away, as two or three have since
last spring, they should pay off
their debts first, and then they can
have an honest look and q clear
conscience when they attempt to
"set themselves up" elsewhere. 1t
is rumored, however, that an effort
is being made to bring Mr.. SHADES
back here, and allow him to pay
the debts due the people, some of
whom are very much in need of the
amount during these "hard times"

From the Paris tkyl oItIzenl

| Accompanying q box of wine
of the vintage Of 1869, we
received the suJoined mote
from our valued friend, Thos.
B. Davis, Esq, OF Macarthur,
Ohio. Mr.. Davis is pleasantly
remembered here, especially by
the veterans Of the war Of 1872
for his efficient labors in the
memorable trips made by them
to Fort Meigs and the River
Raisin battle-ground. He now
proposes a trip to Philadelphia,
in July, 1875, to attend the
great Centennial Celebration,
which will be held there at that
time:

EDITOR CITIZEN: My Dear Sir; l

small box of bottled Ives-Seedling
wine of my own vintage, which |
hope you will safely receive. l

our mutual friend, and our valued
fellow-citizen, Nelson Richmond,
Esq. Your very interesting paper,
the CITIZEN, comes regularly,
which l hope will always keep us
posted with regard to those heav-
enly, blessed old veterans;
blessed with health; blessed with
all the good things of this life;
blessed with q highly-favored good
country, of soil and climate, of
Bourbon and adjoining counties;
blessed with patriotic souls and
love of their country; and, far
above all, blessed with a quiet,
clear conscience toward God and
man. But the day will come when
they will be called hence; truly
hope none of them suddenly, and
should any of them within your
knowledge be taken i'll, indicating
a possibility Of q dissolution,
please note it in your paper from
time to time.
l truly hope many of them will
live to enjoy a pleasant trip to
Philadelphia, in July, 1876. Should
1 live to that date, / shall take
great pleasure in escortiug there as
many as we can muster up from
Kentucky and Ohio, who may desire

add the hope that you and your
better-half will be ON hand then
and no part remain at Cincinnati
but go the whole trip.
Father is in fine health, and
wishes, with your humble servant,

Letter from Josiah Jones, Esq,


NEAR X ROADS MEETIN' House,
Nov. 28, 1873.
FRIEND Bowen:
/ was in town yesterday Thurs
day. with some butter, eggs, etc.
and after l had sold out, / went
round to see a number of my
friends, and all could get out o.
'em was-Cuba-War! War is q
dredful thing, but in the case Of
Cuba / don't know but little gun
powder from Uncle Sans guns
would do Spain good-that is, il
given in allapathic doses. 'Twon't
do to sugar coat-not a bit.
The truth is, Cuba should have
been a part and parcel of the Uni
ted States long since. Instead OF
buying an iceberg ALASKA, which
can only produce a few furs and
now and then a nugget of gold,
Cuba should have been looked after.
But, no, there was a big job in
the purchase of the iceberg where
by to fill somebody's pockets with
greenbacks, and Alaska became q
part of the United States.
Why, bless my soul, had the
Democrats been in power within
the last eight or ten years, Cuba
would now be attached to Uncle
Sans domain, where of right she
belongs. 1t is notable fact that
OF all the territory of any value
ceded to the United States was Sc
cured during Democratic admins
trations. And yet the Democratic
party has been called anti-progres-
sive! The Republicans have been
in power since '61, and during that
time bought-an iceberg This
is cold comfort for the Republicans,
surely.
l notice that my friend, Mr.. w.
II. LANGLEY, President of the g.,
McA. IL G. Railroad, is determined
to build the road, and l glory in
his ambition. The road passes
near my humble habitation, and l
shall feel proud when I can see and
hear the locomotive putting its way
up the valley toward Columbus.
1t will be bright day for Near
thur and to all the people along
the line. Our coal and iron beds
will be developed, and general ac-
tivity will prevail in every branch
Of industry. Mills, furnaces, fac
tories and foundries will crown |
every available point, and we will |
then realize ten dollars where we
only get one cent now. Push the
road along, Mr.. LANGLEY. What
is Logan doing for the road ?
1 hope when l come to town again
that l will not see so many drunk
en- men upon your streets. Shame!
Have you a Marshal?
A neighbor is waiting to carry
this to town, so l will close for the
present. Yours in the cause,
JOSIAH JONES, ESQ.

DEAR SIR;--Enclosed find as
blank for lprOcuring subscription
for a balloon ascension in your
town for Friday, October 3, 1873.
l will make the ascension for $75.
Let me know in time to send you
bills. Send me the list of names of
the subscribers together with the
amounts.
l made an ascension in Fort
Madison, Iowa, on the 9th of Sep.
tember; height, one mile; distance
about one mile; descending into
the channel Of the Mississippi Riv-
er, sinking to the bOttom-thc wa
ter being about ten feet deep. l
had on floats which brought me to
the surface in q second. The Grey
Eagle spread her mammoth wings
over me, touching the water on all
sides, and forming an arch Of 10 or
IL feet above my head. This only
lasted moment, when she Topped
her huge wings and stood like top
on the water. i had three skifts
prepared for this emergency, and
one soon came to my relief. The
Grey Eagle was then hauled to the
shore and rolled upon the bank,
still half full Of smoke.
This made my fortieth trip
through the air.
Yours Truly,
j. II. BoLEY.

The Inauguration Of Gov. Allen.


From the Wayne Co. Democrat, Nov. 26.]
The election of Democrat to
the Governorship of Ohio for the
first time in twenty years, is so
marked an event in the history Of
the Democratic party as to call for
the grandest Inauguration that has
ever occurred in the State. 1t
should be made an occasion for
consultation, festivity and demon
stration "a glorious Democratic
holiday.
The late victory will simply be
the beginning of great victories in
the future, if the Democratic ma
jority in the Legislature shall be
guided by talent, tact and prudence.
We have implicit faith that Hon.
WIN. ALIENS Inaugural Address
will be worthy alike Of himself and
af the Democratic party. 1t will
blaze out way in which the Dem
ocratic party can tread with inf
mite safety.
Hon. JOHN G. THOMPSON, Chair
man of the Democratic State Exc.
cutive Committee, fully realizes the
importance Of the Inauguration,
and to the extent of his ability
will contribute to make it the grand
est affair that has ever been wit
messed in the State. In this he
must have the hearty cooperation
of Democrats throughout the State.
1t is understood that two mill
tary companies will accompany
Major ALLEN TO Columbus from
Chillicothe. The Cleveland Grays
talk of attending. The Old
Guard" ought to attend in force.
Several bands from different parts
of the State contemplate attending.
Arrangements will undoubtedly be
made by which half-fare will be Sc
cured over the railroads running
TO Columbus.
Old and young should unite to
make it an occasion that will ,elec.
trify and so arouse the whole party
that It will 60 forth conquering
and to conquer
The Ohio Statesman says: The
above from the Wayne County
Democrat is timely and to the
point. The Inauguration OF Gov.
ALLEN will be one Of the most i'm
portant events in the history Of this
country. For years the country
has been ruled by corrupt party
leaders. Now the people have
taken tho matter in hand, and will
see To II, that honestmen will here
after be placed In power. Let our
Democratic papers speak out, and
bring UP the Democratic and Con-
servatiye masses TO the inaugura-
tion Of WILLrAx ALLEN, the Farmer
Governor We have every assur-
ancc that the Hon. JoHN g. THoMP-
