II Is pleasant to reflect that notwith-
standing the long, tedious and heavy
Winter from which we are just emery
Ing, and tho closing storms Of which
yet llnger near, there has been little
or no suffering to record In this CON-
munity. Comparatively Isolated as
we are from the rest Of the world by
mighty ranges Of mountains, We are
dependent upon transportation facili-
ties for the veriest necessities Of life.
Unfortunately sur thriving State Is
not very productive In the agricultural
line, although yielding millions upon
millions Of that which can purchase
whatever we want, therefore the best,
quickest and most certain %communlca-
lion we can have with the sources Of
supply Is Of the utmost lmportancs.
The SHOWS In tho mountain ranges
have been unusually heavy and the
storms almost continuous, yet the rail-
road companies have by almost super
human and incredible exertlons sue

almost uninterrupted, sending passen-
gers, mails and freight through COM.
fortably, in good condition and on
time. Not so In the days Of stages
and ORLEANS.
The Virginia and Truckeo Railroad
comes IN for It's full share Of credit In
that respect, for It has been kept clear
and steadily running all Winter,
scarcely losing a day. Thus 1t Is that
provisisns, fuel and other neces.aries

veloped and kept up as they never
were before. The vast production Of
ore has poured forth In regular unin-
tcrrupted flow. and steadily has 1t been
rushed over the railroad from tho
mines to tho mills. Thus have our
mines with their myriad, Of hardy
miners been kept steadily working
aud nobody allowed to be Idle unless
they chose, for hundred, Of men have
even found lucrative employment In
shoveline snow and keeping the rail-.
road clear. The result has been that
money has been and still Is plenty,
stocks up, and everybody getting along
comfortably. Cases Of restitution and
suffering among the population are al
most unknown, In fact, the only In

To tie Editor of the Standard
At the last meeting of the jackson
County Lodge. l. o. G. T., the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
ResoEvsd 1st, That we hail the present
woman's movement as forerunner Of a
great temperance reform, which, being
followed by appropriate legislation will
drive intemperance from our State and
Nation
2nd, That we recognize among the
moving spirits of the Crusade many of
our sisters, of whom our G. w. C. I. OF
Ohio is taking noble and prominent
part.
Sd That we heartily approve this ''wo-
mans war in our State, and that we will
render all assistance necessary to organ
ize such a movement in our county.
4th, That the irrepressible conflict OF
temperance and intemperance which this
movement is presenting, we accept, not
doubling the final result, as the moral
and Christian element of our county
sustained by the spirit of Christ is enlist
ed in it, WILSON HAWK,

The crusaders at Hamden have placed
sentinels about the saloons in that town
Whether this will result in any good, we
are not advised. 1t is said that the sa-
loon-keepers sell strictly in accordance
to have sentinels sitting about day after
day If the law is wrong then it should
be amended and made more stringent.-
McArthur Enquirer
If the saloon-keepers "sell strictly in
accordance with law" why is it that they
and their apologists are all the time
whining because they are watched? The
truth is, and the fact is notorious, that
all the liquor sellers are violating the
laws of the State every day That is why
they are SO sensitive about being
watched. No man who obeys the law is
afraid of being investigated.

To tile Editor of the Standard:
Please permit me, through your paper,
to try my unskilled hand at original pro-
duction.
The first day of May being set apart as
a national holiday, the schools of our lit
tie village were not in session, if we ex-
cept the room occupied by our friend j.
A, whose wild oats have long since been
sown, and are now ripening for harvest.
The children absented themselves from
the school room to seek the more rural
pleasures of bat and ball, or perhaps
shanghai upon the country hill side.
Thus it was that a goodly number
brushed the dust from off their sandals
and retired few miles south and spent
a day long to be remembered by all. in
the full enjoyment of American sun
shine Arriving at the appointed spot
we wound our way to neighboring hill.
and "Woe unto the mullen stalk within
our course we met, where we enjoyed
ourselves in everything that could amuse
fancy till noon, when there was placed
before US dinner which bespoke both
skill and taste, and save the convenien
ces a king might admire. Dinner over,
we retired to reighboring graveyard
and amused ourselves upon the only Wis
ible memory Of those who were once as
gay as we.
We then talked and laughed till train
time, when we took passage for, and ar
rived at jackson; and then parted a jol-
lv few who in all probability will meet
again (till that day has Gomez )-never.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.

Last Thursday l went to Ophir Fur
mace. went out on the Chillicothe road
to the first hollow below Byerly's at the
old Crooks Mill, turned to the right, went
up the hill, and when on top of the hill
saw an extensive wood-chopping to the
north, extending on the opposite hill
side, Down below me was Martins Run
that l was near Ophir. l heard the sound
of an ak on the hillside between where l
was and the Furnace. Going down
found II. c. Stropes and boy cutting
cord wood. They had yellow poplar
tree down, and partly cut into cord
wood. The tree was about foot in di-
ameter They were using double bitted
ak. | never used one, but concluded l
would try it. Mr.. Stropes did not know
that 1 had once been wood-chopper,
and he appeared somewhat surprised
when he saw me take cut off the log, as
well done he admitted, as he could have
done with an ak to which he was not
accustomed That which person learns
well in his youth. he will never forget 1
have not cut cord of wood in the past
quarter of a century, yet it came as nat
ural for me to use the ak as it did thirty
years ago.
From the wood chopping l went to the
Furnace. The stack is one of the sheet
iron kind, like the Furnaces in jackson.
Men were engaged in putting in the lin.
ing or in-wall, of fire. brick The stack is
up, being sheet-iron shell, resting on
cast-iron pillars. The brick wall between
these pillars is not yet put in. The Fur
mace is built at the foot of hill, as all
the charcoal furnaces are built, and the
stock-coal, ore and limestone, will be
hauled upon the bank, and not hoisted,
as it is at stonecoal furnaces.
There are from fifteen to twenty houses
up and occupied. They are all frame
buildings. The foundation sills are
joists set on edge, and planks nailed
to them upright for walls. No
weatherboarding, plastering or ceiling
used. The doors are the only thing
about them that have the appearance oi
Workmanship. They are all pannel doors
bought at the manufacturers. These
houses cost one hundred dollars each
the lumber costing sixty dollars, and the
carpenter work forty. At distance
they present a rather neat, tasty appear
ance. They have plenty of room for a
good sized family, and in summer will do
very well. How family can reside in
such place during the winter is another
question. But saw very much cheaper
houses than these. Out in one of the
wood choppings were four cabins, which
had all been built and finished ready fol-
families to take possession, for fifty dol
lars, or twelve dollars and half for eacE
house.
The store room and office are in 8

struction, but larger. found the store
