Temperance Movement In
ChilIicOtlle.
in

CiIillicOthe.
In spite of the discouragements
they have had to contend with from
the start, the brave Temperance wo-
men of Chillicothe are perseyering in
their labors, and the good effects are
already beginning to be seen, in the
greatly diminished consumption Of
liquors, and the steady growth of a
sound public sentiment against the
traffic, which will ultimately secure
the enforcement of the laws, and
greatly diminish, if it does not en-
tirely suppress, the Illegal sale OF
liquor.
We are glad to see that the old
Republican paper, the Scioto Gazette,
which was non-committal at first,
has now come out heartily in favor
of the Women's movement. The
Register independently is also labor
ing zealously on their side. The
Advertiser and Post, the two Demo
cratic papers, are both opposed to.the
movement.
The following are the officers OF
the Ladies Temperance League:
President-Mrs. H. W. Biggs.
Vice Presidents-Mrs. 1. F. King,
Mrs. B. f. Miesse, Mrs. VIM. H.

WALToN, CAssCo., Ind, March9 8, 1873.
EDITOR NEws-Seeing reports
from almost all parts of the country
except ours, I have been led to con-
clude that perhaps few lines from
here would not prove entirely unin-
teresting to the many readers of
your excellent publication, the Neacs.
The village of Walton is situated
on the Richmond & Chicago Division
of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & st.
Louis R. R., ten miles southeast of
the city of Logansport, the capital of
our county. It is a thriving little
place, just beginning to feel its i'm
portance sufficiently to desire to be
Incorporated.
We have two wagon and buggy
shops, which are turning out as good
and neat work, as can be found al
most anywhere. A partner in one of
these shops, owned by Chappelear &
Jones, is G. A. Jones, a Hil1sboro
boy, formerly an apprentice in the
buggy and carriage shops ofJohn W.
Harwood- They are doing a good
business, Notwithstanding the dull
times.
I had almost overlooked the "Wal-
ton Enterprise" a neat little weekly
newspaper, in its first year, and
which gives promise of being val
liable addition to the place.
Last and least, we have two sa-
looms, but we think their days are
numbered. What business they are
doing is without License" and we
do not think they will be able to get
license under the present law. Be
sides, the great Temperance war, is
approaching nearer and nearer, and
the first visible effect has been the
announcements for a'Temperancemass
meeting" to be held this week, at
which we hope the people of W. and
vicinity will be awakened to their
real interests In the matters; and
that they will resolve to exterminate
the evil from their midst now and
forever.
This portion Of country was In
cluded in ''Indian Reservation" and
consequently is somewhat behind
some Of the neighboring portions, in
improvements, butts fast approaching
D medium standard. The soil is
good, being scarcely excelled by the
alluyial lands of the prairies, and is
well adapted to the cultivation of all
kinds of grain and vegetables, but the
most serious thing we have to con-
tend with is the great difficulty in
raising fruits. Small fruits do very
well, and occasionally the apple crop
IS abundant. But farmers have
finally concluded that it is a waste of
time and means to plant peach or
ehards, the winters being. generally
TOO severe for them.
The country contains q dense

we'll represented, from all sections.
There are, however, but few High

hood
The schools are closing their pres
mt terms, having been in session on
V four months, which is entirely too
short term for school, and besides,
no fund for summer session. But
low that we have County Superin-
;endents, it is expected that the In
crest in educational matters will be
.emedied, to some extent, so that we
nav have at least si1 months of
school during the year. CASS-

The Little Cheat.
By ELIzABETH oAKEs sxrTH

BI ELILABEIH UAhEs sMIIHs
Now, Kitty, look up in my face,
I've something grave to say;
That little mouse-hOle is a place
Where you delight TO stay.
You sit there blinking in the light,
Aud never stir paw;
To cheat, Miss Kitty, is not right;
1t is against the law.
You think poor mousie will not know
That you are sitting there;
To cheat dear httle mousie so,
Indeed, is hardly fair.
You need not look so sleek and nice;
Your naughty ways know;
You sit whole hours to watch for mice;
Go, little cheater, 60!
