DIED.

CHERINGTON HAPPY CHERNGToS,
wife of DIR. james Cherington, and
daughter of William and Olive Weed,
was born in New York, December 18th,
1907. Mr.. Weed with his family came
to Gallia county in 1921. In 1881, under
the labors of Revs, Elijah Field and
Adam Miller, HAPPY united with the NJ.
4. Church, and professed saving faith
In Christ. December 81, 1888, she was
married to DIR. James CheringtOn, and
removed to their farm near Centerville,
jackson county, Ohio, and were
among the first members that formed
the New Zion Glass, near their home.
She loved to go up to the house of the
Lord, but no branch of the church did
she love SO well as the church of her
choice. Her doctrines she greatly
loved. Her usages were her delight. and
in her fold she desired to work until the
Master should release her from labor
and take her home to rest. She was an
intelligent and devoted christian, but
her cup was not free from alloy. Many
bitter drop was there. She had been
bereft many years ago of two small
children; with confidence she could say
''The Lord gave and the Lord hath ta-
hcH AWAY UACeSCu DO tuC udillC VI buC
Lord"
For forty years, many of the minis
ters of the Ohio Conference found a
resting place at her pleasant home. But
her work is finished. 1t was only few
months before her death that her family
and most intimate friends saw any
change in her usual good health, but
when confined to her room, so rapid was
the work of death that more than once,
she was found to be unconscious; but
when aroused she would speak sweetly
for Jesus. She said to her weeping hus-
band and children-Oh how l love
Jesus. To the writer few months be-
fore her death she said-I have an I'M
usual desire for the salvation of my
children. Death found her ready and
waiting. Near midday, August Goth,
in her sixty-seventh year, she bid adieu
to earth and weeping friends to gaze
upon Him that had led her through life's
dreary waste. A large audience assem-
bled at her home, and after appropriate
services, all that was mortal was laid in
the graveyard near where New Zion
stood, and where she had wOrshipped
with so many who now sleep sweetly by
her side. She leaves a lonely husband
and four children to mourn the loss of
a kind wife, an affectionate mother
May they all meet her in heaven.

too insignificant to mention, and the
consequence is sundry rusty old mus

1t might not be you.
Nearly everybody is satisfied with

"DowN with National Banks" says
the Democratic platform of Ohio.
We cannot appreciate the sense of
this war upon our present financial
system. 1t is certainly good enough
it is safe, and current in every part
of the country. Then, why war upon
it? 1t is these continual changes
the hobby-horses of mere politicians,
upon which they hope to ride into
power-that work disaster and ruin
to our business interests. We have
no interest in National Banks, except
that which every citizen has, the
good of the country. We must have
paper currency-these institutions
furnish one that is safe and of equal
value in all parts of the country
then why this demand for change?
The commercial, the mechanical, the
agricultural, the manufacturing in
terests of the country demand that
this everlasting tinkering with finan
cial affairs shall cease. Let well
enough alone.

y
down the glove; they have entered
the State campaign with license en-
blazoned on their banner. Here is
the plank in their platform upon this
subject, adopted at Columbus last
week:
13. We favor the submission to
the people, by the General Assembly,
of an amendment to the Constitution
authorizing the passage of a license
law.
This is the issue-license, or no Ii
cense. 1t is the only question of
State policy that has any importance,
and must, therefore, become the con-
trolling question of the campaign.
1t required great deal of impudence
on the part of the leaders of the De
mocracy to thus open up this issue,
in the face of a recent verdict against
license, but they had to do something
to retain control of the whisky in
fiuence, and they seem to have been
equal to the demands made upon
them. 1t thus becomes q fight be-
tween temperance and legalized in
temperance fight between the
whisky power of the State and the
friends of sobriety and order. 1t
will be bitter struggle. The liquor
interest is no mean antagonist 1t
has money and organization. Its in
fluence has been seen and felt even
in the halls of Congress, where it at
tempted to shape Legislation for it's
own selfish purposes. At one time,
few years back, its power in the po-
litical affairs of the country was
feared more than the railroad monop-
olies, but thanks to an awakened pub
lie sentiment, the people have been
brought face to face with the evil,
and its ghastly form has aroused
them to efforts for its overthrow.
And Notwithstanding its power, its
influence, its money and its thorough
organization, we have-no fears for the
result. The moral sense of the peo-
pie revolts at the idea of licensing a
great evil, and they will bury both
license and the party which upholds
it beyond the power of resurrection.
To show that this question is to be
the controlling question of the cam
paign, and the one upon which the
Democracy expect to win victory,
we copy from the Cincinnati Enquirer
of Saturday as follows:
1t is the belief of the voters of the
State, which was emphasized in vari-
Gus ways in the late election, that the
evils of intemperance can best be
stayed by judiciously framed Ii
cense law; and the Democratic Con-
vention, which requested the Legis-
lature to submit to the people an
amendment making such law posi-.
BILE, reflected the public desire and
represented the public judgment.
This plank, honest and straightfor-
ward and in full accord with the SEN
timent of large majority of the peo
pie of the State, is alone sufficient, in
view of the prominence this question
has assumed, to command Demo
cratic majority in the coming cleo
ton.
Elect the Democratic State ticket
and it will be received by the present
democratic legislature as instruction
in behalf of license law, which that
body is bound to respect. That is
the plain, unmistakeable issue of the
campaign, and you might just as
readily expect to get rid of corrup-
ton in official life by the election of
a democratic administration as to ex-
pect that your vote for the democrat
ic ticket this fall will be in the line of
restrictive temperance legislation.

WE ask the attention of the Re-
publicans of Gallia county to the
primary meetings next Saturday,
Sept. 9Th. 1t is through the action
of party organizations that the affairs
of this free government of ours are
to be administered, and the prima-
ry meetings are the foundation, the
starting point of the whole super
structure. If these receive the bap-
tism of pure, unselfish patriotism,
and men are selected for delegates
more for their love of good govern
ment, than of their love for men, the
foundation is well laid, and we have
made good start in the way to a
pure administration of public affairs.
But this initial work, to be worthy
and respected, must receive the atten-
ton and supervision of the people
of the whole body to be represented
and we hope to hear that the primary
meetings of 1874 were more largely
attended, and greater interest mani
Tested in them, than ever before.

Are we to have another rebellion at
the South? This is a live question.
Down with the best banking sys-
tenn we have ever had, and up with
the State shinplaster mills, is the
Democratic cry.
The Democrats of Ohio and Indi-
ana seem to sigh for the time when
the people paid heavy discount on
every dollar of paper money that
passed through their hands.
The man who tried to collect illegal
fees for his services as trustee, at
Chillicothe, is the person the Demo
Gratis nominated for the Board of
Public Works.
The people of Ohio having, by a
majority of 1926, defeated the license
proposition, the Democratic party re-
solve in favor of submitting a license
proposition to the people of Ohio!
And this is the way the leaders think
they can get into power.

The Democratic State Convention
was unlucky all round. Having
adopted a financial platform ut
terly repugnant to German voters,
who are a unit against reputation
and imitation, the managers, as tub
to the whale, declared in favor of a
Constitutional amendment that will
permit the Legislature to pass Ii
cense Law. Now comes the news
quite contrary to what they anticipa-
ted-that the popular vote is decisive
ly against License, instead of Sin
structing" in its favor, as was pretend
ed. 1t is now evident that a renewal
of the agitation will only have the
effect to bring out still stronger op-
position to the liquor interest, which
simply wants to be let alone. This
was a fatal blunder of the Demo
cratic Convention, in addition to its
other grave mistakes, and makes a
Democratic victory in October i'm.
possible.-Cin. Times.
