S0Mr. Sprague, what did you do
with that $4,000 grab? We don't care
for the money, but like the boy who lost
his cent, we just want to know where the

SAPTINA, MONROE 20. OHIO.
ED. SPIRIT: AS your paper is devoted
to the local interests Of this county, |
wish small space In your valuable col
umns to give an account Of two very in
teresting musical entertainments, that
took place on Saturday, July 19,and Sun
day afternoon.
At the time appointed avery large au-
dience assembled at the Christian meet
ing house, in this place. Your CORES
pondent attended both the entertain.
ments. The people present showed a
very marked appreciation of the good
singing. 1t was quite evident to US that
Prof. Gregg deserves the good reputa.
ton which he has in this county, as well
as in Belmont and Harrison Counties.
On this occasion he displayed very
great ability as good music teacher, and
the class taught by him in this place did
themselves great credit. Quite number
of visitors from other classes, taught by
Mr.. Gregg, were present, among whom,
we noticed the following ladies and gen.
tlemen, Messrs, II. H. Meek, j. NJ. JEFF
fers, Isaac Jeffers, Geo Bracey, Jr., 1
Twinem Misses Sadie E. Vanlaw, E Ear.
levine, Matte Brock, Maggie Boughner
Sadie Bracey, and Mrs. Sadie E. Gregg
These visitors added very much to the
| enjoyment of those who we're present, by
the very commendable way in which they
acquitted themselves. They not only re.
fected credit upon themselves, but upor
ySfof Gregg, who has been instructine
them for some time past. 1t was quite
evident that they had made very gooc
progress in the science of music Mucl
more might be said in praise of all it wa!
our pleasure TO hear, but shall not tres
pass further for the present, as l nigh
have occasion to ask you to favor me a
some future time. lam yours truly,

Our Approaching Fair.

Shall it be success is the question
that every citizen of the county is in
terested in answering in the affirmative.
We all have common interest in the
success of our annual agriculture Fair.
The principle of association,th prac-
tice Of bringing men together for the
same general object, pursuing the same
general end, and uniting their intellect
ual and physical efforts to that purpose
lis great improvement in our age
And the reason is obvious. Here men
meet together that they may converse
with one another-that they may COM
pare with each other their experience,
and thus keep up a constant communi-
cation. In this practical point Of view,
these agricultural associations are of
great importance.
Conversation, intercourse with other
minds, is the general source OF knowl-
edge. Books do something, but it is
conversational is the meeting Of men
face to face, and talking over what they
have in common interest-it is this in
tercourse that makes men sharp, intelli-
gent, ready to communicate to others,
and ready to receive instruction from
them. Tha. these annual gatherings OF
the people not only promote the inter
ests of agriculture and mechanical arts
but are also good index Of the prog
ress of county, is self evident
Then we all have common interest
in the success of our Fair, and all have
a part to perform. Let Us not only re-
solve to be present but let each bring
something for exhibition. II we want
to rank with other counties We must each
do our duty. Fill our ball with ever
variety Of products, mechanics arts, dc.
and the result will be one Of the best
Fairs that was ever held in Monroe
county. 1t is You, reader, that car
make the Fair success.
We have an abundant harvest-and
there is nothing to prevent US from
having Fair that will be credit tt
Old Monroe
Then, fellow citizens, resolve thai
you will 60 to the Fair, that you viii
bring all yon can and that you will urg
your neighbor to do the same.
Recreations in our rural regions ar
too scarce at most, but here is an op
portunity to combine delightful enjoy
ment with the acquisition of useful ant
profitable information. FARMER.

Insane Criminals.

A recent treatise by ex Surgeon Gen
eral Hammond on the relations OF in
sanity to crime, advances some new,
suggestive and very important ideas on
that subject. DR.. Hammond believes
insanity by no means implies necessa
rily the loss Of selfcontrol, and that re-
wards and punishments may exercise a
very wholesome influence upon the dis
ordered intellects and emotions of the
insane. He thinks the cases in which
mental disorder is so extreme as to rem
der persons entirely unaccountable for
their actions are few. and affirms that
an insane individual who has sufficient
intelligence to know that the use of a
deadly weapon in particular way will
produce death, "ahould be subjected to
the same punishment for homicide as
would be awarded for like offense
committed by sane person." These
views, if correct, show the utter INSULT
cheney of the emotional insanity plea as
an excuse for crime, and leave q very
narrow margin of cases in which even
real insanity may properly shelter Grim
inals from punishment.
In reference to the treatment proper
for insane criminals, DR.. Hammond
says:
Gan insane person deprived of his
liberty on account of murder should
never again be allowed to go at large.
The danger of a relapse is always great,
and shrewd lunstic may very readily
deceive those about him into the belief
that he is cured, when in fact he is only
planning his escape from durance. The
books and journals devoted to the sub
ject of mental diseases abound with
cases of lunatics who have committed
homcides after being discharged from
asylums as perfectly cured"

ED SPIRIT: We have had quite an in,
teresting time here in our rustic little vii
lage, during the past week. Our school
closed on Thursday. the oath inst, and as
token of respect to the little folks, land
big ones too, our teacher closed with a
picnic and exhibition, and as pleasure
was the order of the day, all seemed to
make it their motto and about 10 o'clock
NJ the town was swarming with visi-
tors and spectators.
| After the usual exercises of school
day, we formed in procession and march.
ed in order to the spacious tobac co
house of Mr.. John Holiday, where a
sumptuous feast, or supper, had been pre-.
pared bya lively committee, viz: Owen
Hurd, Minnie McCaslin, Andrew McCas-
| lin, Rebecca Holiday, Herid Holtsclaw
and Marinda Myer.
| After an hour and half spent in eating
and .jestinq, we were dismissed to enjoy
on intermission Of few hours, until half
past 7 o'clock, when the sound of the
bell reminded US to repair to the school
house to witness the evening entertain
ment, which consisted of dialogues, de-
clamations and essays, with vocal music
by class Of singers of this place and Vi
cinity, and instrumental music by Miss
Lizzie Mitchell.
The subjects Of the essays were all Sc
lected with view to suit the occasion
and did honor to the writer's They were as
follows:
A. L Martin-Woman's Influence.
| S. j. NATURALIZATION.
Tibbie Burditt-Obserue tho Sabbath.
Rebecea Holliday-Happiness.
Mamie McCaslin-AHis is not gold that
glitters.
With number Of comic ones from the
little girls.
The dialogues were all good, but we
were particularly pleased with one acted
by three Of the little girls-subject
"Just as our mothers do,' in which they
visited each other and go'siped aoout
their neighbors, just as too many are apt
to do in our present generation.
The declamations were comic except
the last, spoken by W. F. Gatchell, "Ad
vice to the young" Forest is brigh'
boy, and well advanced for one Of twelve
years, and bids fair to be an ornament to
society.
BntI am wandering from my sub
ject.
The exercises were closed by two very
able and appropriate addresses. delivered
by J. J. Hurd and Johu.: Gatchell. The!
gave an entire approval ofthe day
and evenings proceedings, and spok,
: only as those can who are advocates OF
} and interested in, the great cause of edu
cation. SPECTATOR.

wThe Democratic party is the only
political organization in the country free
from Credit Mobilier swindling and the
back-pay salary steal. True few Dem
ocrats participated in both, but the Rad
ical organization, with the President and
Vice President to command entered into
them bodily and certainly without that
thought and fine discrimination we usu-
ally find, or, at least, expect, in our pub
lie men. Even Vice President WILSON
invested in Credit Mobilier just to please
his wife.
The people have been swindled and
robbed, and the authors of such conduct
must stand aside, or they will be hurled
hack by the force of the ballots of an
outraged constituency. =

ANlloCH, w., August l., 1919.
ED. SPIRIT: Our quiet town has about
recovered from the rush and excitement
of .'Institute week." and now moves on
in the even tenor of its way, excepting
the addition of quite number of young
ladies' and gentlemen attending the select
school, This school opened its fall ses.
sion last Monday, with most encouraging
prospects for an interesting and profta-
BILE session to the Al students in attend
ance.
Indeed it could not be otherwise than
interesting and profitable, with such a
man as Prof. Martin as Principal, than
whom there is certainly no better teacher
in Eastern Ohio The citizens of Anti
och not only, but of the entire county
Fare under lasting obligations to Prof
Martin for his untiring zeal in laboring
to send forth good and efficient teachers
for his efforts in the cause of moral re-
form and general education in this com.
munity.
The last showers have been very ben
efcial on growing crops, and yet not Sc
riously interfering with harvest work
Our wheat crop is better in this neigh
borhood than anticipated before harvest.
| Oats will be better than expected.
Corn ia looking fine, for the time it
was planted, and if we have a favorable
autumn will yield an average crop.
The fruit crop is light, Except ber-
ries. and generally imperfect.
We have live set Of business men
and mechanics, all understanding their
] cbiz, and always at their posts.
IS A considerable amount of tobacco has
been packed here. Messrs. Twinem &
Bro. have cleverly started in business
here, are capital good fellows, and de-
serve patronage. They have shipped
some 80 hogsheads of tobacco.
F. M Amos, that young, genial and
enterprisng merchant, is driving bust.
ness in his easy, good natured way and
we hope successfully. He will pack and
ship about 200 hogsheads of the Deed.
T. G. Penn, known to many Of your
readers for his dry jokes and good'hu.
moredness, as also for enterprise and in
dustrious habits, is driving good bust
ness in the manufacture of woolens, DC
Our citizens need not go out Of the
State to buy this class Of goods, when
they can be fit out from stop to toe' al
home, and just as cheap as any Of the
eastern made goods Of this class. But
lest draw this letter out too long, will
defer further notice Of our business men
for my next.
| The congregations served by Bro. j
II. Wilson, have granted him leave Of
absence for one month, and he expects
to leave with his family next week, on a
visit to his old home and friends in Har.
rison County. More anon. AJAX,

Mr. EDITOR: The gentle and refresh
ing rains that have so very frequently
visited US during the present month
have revived vegetation to wonderful
extent Grass, corn, potatoes, and all
vegetable matter, with the exception Of
tobacco which is rather backward, are
growing very rapidly.
The crop of apples is not very abun-
dant in this section of country. Peach
es are pretty scarce. There are, how
ever, but very few trees in this locality.
Small fruits, such as blsckberries and
raspberries are abundant, especially the
latter.
Oats are COW being harvested. There
are some complaints in regard to the
quality of the present crop. 1t is my
opinion, however, that they will yield
pretty well although the straw is
very short on thin land.
Hay is pretty much all cut The
yield in my estimation is no better than
it was last year. Some think that it
will not equal that of the previous year:
We are happy to observe that the

of The various methods adopted by their

celebrating the 9Sth anniversary of our
great and glorious nations birthday, /
am compelled to say that l have not
anything of similar nature to lay be-

generally drawn to the adjacent villages
where greater inducements were offer
ed for the celebration and enjoyment of
our nations birthday than were offered
within the borders of our generally
quiet and peaceful township. Our peo-
pie are Lot wanting in patriotism or
love of country and should the honor
of the nation be insulted by foes either
foreign or domestic there would be seen
as great an uprising of the people here

the day that beheld those ancient pat

ton of American Independence, thus
securing or vonchsafeing liberty and
equality to its defenders and their pos
terity forever.
