excitement was much higher, and from
their work the probabilities are that the
end Is not yet,
Mr.. Ashenhust, editor Of the D. Y. NebS,
has entered the campaign against the new
constitution, which will be voted for on
the 18th OF August. He has spoken at
three points In our county last week and
has engagements for this week. 1t 10 I'M
possible at this stage Of the game TO give
even q guess what will be done with the
new constitution. ! do not suppose that
there are u dozen men In our town who
have read II, and hence there are great
many who know but little about 1t and
will vote heller SHELTER on election day,
and l don't know whether II makes much
difference or not.
Il Is almost impossible to gain any inlor-
nation from our State papers that will d.
rect the voter as TO his duty In the
premises.
The Cincinnati Gazette, one Of the lead
ing journals Of the State, says that the
adoption Of the so-called license article
will leave all control Of the trade in intoxi,
eating drinks completely In the hands oil
the Legislature, while the adoption Of the
alternative article will effect nothing save
TO forbid the Legislature from using the
plan OF special taxation through license
system as a means Of regulating and re-
stricting their traffic. hr. Stanley Mat
thews and ex-Attorney General West en-
terrain the same opinion. While Judge
Miner and Hon. 8. ShellabArger take an
entirely opposite view.
A very prominent member oil the bar al
Toledo has given his opinion in reference
to the judiciary part oil the new Constitu-
tlon-and that Is considered the most i'm
pOrtant part oil the Constitution. he says
that the adoption oil that part Of 1t will
weaken and degrade the judiciary, and II
can have no other effect upon the inferior
courts throughout the State, and urges the
defeat oil the Constitution. On the other
hand nearly or quite every member OF the
bar OF our county are in favor Of It's adop'
ton. r. J. Alexander and P. Tallman
are stumping portion Of the county In
favor oil It's adoption. And thus 1t is that
scarcely any two agree as 10 whether 1t Is
best TO adopt or reject the Constitution.
A large brick sewer extending across
LIST street and thence TO the river has
just been completed at cost Of several
hundred dollars. II ia good job.
D. Fl, Sanders and George Deitz are
the frat to lay brick pavements on Isl
street. l would like 10 see every property
owner follow their example before they
are required to do so by an ordinance,
You folks over in Wheeling may think
1t funny that we make an item like this,
but II you had a whole lot Of streets and
nary pavement, then 1t would be diff
lerent, and hope that 1t won't be long
before we will have good brick pave
ment from the ferry up TO Hanover
street, then we will be clean and maybe
happy for all know. A nan will walk
q square now out Of bis road in order Il
walk on the little bit Of pavement men
toned above.
The Board Of Directors OF the Ohio
City Iron and Nail WORKS, at their meet
ing Monday evening, took initial steps
towards increasing the capital stock, to
enable them 10 make an addition oil
thirty or more nail machines to the pres
ent capacity, which Of course includes
Furnaces and other contingencies. The
outlook Of trade is certainly encoursg-
ing when movements Of this kind are
made.
At the last meeting of the Temperance
League, Miss Rachel HoYle resigned her

Mr.. Henry Roberts, Q laborer employ
