Your suggestions are Of great impor-

people in their just expectations. To

observe me oderation and wisdom. The

Preliminary Railroad Survey.

In conversation had with A. W.
Mccoy, Esq, relating to his survey of
the route to jackson from ChilIicothe,
easily and cheaply built anywhere on
his cline of levels along the South
Fork of Salt creek He hadno diff
Guilty in passing up the left bank of
the creek the entire length of the route
in Jackson county; and so far as re-
CARDS the level character of that par
ticular region, there will be no trouble
in securing an excellent location. For
the last six miles nearest Jackson,
very little change was made in the in
struments required. He thinks the
route may he shortened perhaps a mile
and half, or a mile, at least, wheI
the location is made. The hardest
work on the whole road and the mos
expeneive will be in Ross county. Al
approximate estimate of the cuts anC
fills shows that the heaviest part will

We copy the following letter to the
editor of the News, in reply to an ed
itorial which appeared in that paper
of last week:
EDITOR NEws-DEAR SIR: NV at.
tention having been called to a local

the organization IN the schools of q
gymnastic class, feel it proper to re

organization, that your wrong impress

that may exist in the community, after
reading of your remarks in the paper.
First Of all, affirm that the attention n
of all interested in the proper and
complete training of the young men
and young woman should be at once
directed to consideration of the sub
ject of introducing physical culture in
our public schools. There are few if
any, who doubt the Importance of the
matter; but, an honest difference of
opinion may exist as to the feasibility
or even propriety of permitting it to
occupy the time usually given to study.
Still, wherever it has been tried with
any competent knowledge on the part
of the teacher of the system to be pur-
sued, and the exercises to be practiced
it has proved n most beneficial relief
from the monotony and weariness of
the ordinary routine of school work.
1t does not necessarily interfere
with the regular studies, but is a pos
tive assistance; for it is a we'll known
and admitted law of mental science.
that the mind requires variety of en-
ployment, especially in the Young, in
order to secure its best decipline. The
proper and necessary developement of
both the muscles and the mind NAV be
and should be sought for at the same
time, by careful and judicious inter
mingling Of those exercises which
shall educate the body as we'll as the
mind.

: The New York Mail states thai

- The New York Mail states that a
"hospital for women is to be instituted
in that city under Homeopathic aus
pices The ladies of the city who ia
vor that practice are actively interest
ing themselves in the work of raising
funds for the purpose. In view OF
this enterprise the Mail, editorially,
says:
Up to this" time the Hom@paths
have not realized their own strength.
They have patiently submitted to tax
alton for hospitals in which patients
could not secure Homeopathic treat
ment. They are tardily waking uE
to the realization of the fsct that they
pay over half--and probably over two
thirds-of the taxes collected in this
city. They will find out their OWL
strength by using it, and will discov-
er that they can easily raise, not mere

- The Legislature of this State last
winter adjourned until Tuesday the
1th of December, and in accordance
with that action, it met at Co.
lumbus on Tuesday last. If this
body has the best interests Of the peo-
pie, whom they represent, at heart,
the best thing they can do will be to
meet and make few necessary appro-
priations required and then adjourn
sine die. No legislation or laws that
body would be likely to enact would
be of much interest to the people. A
two weeks session is sufficient time to
do all the business that is required of
this Legislature. We have entirely
too much legislatian; large majOri-
ty of the laws enacted are not worth
to the people what they cost them. Il
the Legislature has right conception
of the wishes and interests of the
people, they will not protract thei
adjourned session beyond two weeks

The Wilmington Journal, edited
by W. H. P. Denny, says: zone day
last week we had the pleasure of con-
versing with Mr.. Thomas n. Adams,
of Reesville. He was born on the tenth
of September, 1772, and is consequent
ly now in his 103d year. He informed
us that he had never been sick a day
in his life, and that now mis- health was
perfect. He was soldier in the war
of 1912. He came to Ohio in 1905,
settled in Chillicothe and from there
removed to Clinton county in 1915,
where he has ever since resided. His
faculties are good, and he converses as
intelligently as man of sixty. With
his regular habits he will probably live
many years more"

State Temperance Convention

A State Temperance Convention has
been called to meet at Columbus on
Wednesday the 9th inst. This con
vention is not called in the interest of
any political party. The object is to
provide for thorough organization
throughout the State, of temperance
workers of all political parties and re-
hgious denominations, in order to
promote more active temperance
sentiment; to secure the enforcement
of our temperance laws, to procure
such changes in, and amendments to,
these laws as experience proves to be
necessary to their efficiency; to reach
and rescue the victims of the dram
shop; to guard the home against des-
ecration by intemperance and, by all
proper means, without interference
with any just rights of the citizens, to
Danish from society the chief enemy
Of its order, peace and prosperity.
The necessity for prompt action in
accordance with the objects above ex-
pressed is daily increasing. Intem
perance, vice and crime is hourly on
the increase throughout the country.
It requires no argument to prove the
truth of this assertion; the facts are
glaringly before the world, and it be
eOmes good uitizono every where, II
put forth their best energ les to sta.
its inevitable haste to individ ual, Stat
\ and National ruin.

Narrow Gauge Railroad Meeting
at ChilIicOthe.
CHILLICoTHE, Dec. /.

This afternoon the Narrow Gauge
Railroad meeting was held at Masonic
Hall at 3 D. m. There were about one
hundred and fifty delegates present
from abroad. John 1. VanMeter was
chosen Chairman, while Vice Presi-
dents and Secretaries were chosen
from each county along the line In
terest seemed to lag little at first, but
the meeting was finally stirred up by
the speech of Mr.. George Frey, of
Springfield, which showed that before
any decisive action was taken, some
thing definite as regards the route
must be determined upon. The char
ter of the Dsyton d South Eastern
was read, and failed to give satisfac
ton. Chillicothe, Pomeroy, Spring
field, and other important points,
which are expected to o-operate in
building the road, are not mentioned
in the charter.
The afternoon meeting finally adj
jOurned, after appointing q committee
composed of two members from each
county along the proposed line of
road, to conclude upon what action
the meeting should take, and report at
the meeting to be held this evening
The Committee referred to in the
article above, made a report yesterday
morning, which was adopted by a
large majority Of the delegates; the
delegates from Springfield, however,
voting in the negative The resolu-
tions in the report are such that seem
to us as fair. 1t was compromise
on the part of the delegates from
Greene and Fayette. There seems to
be no objections to building the road
from Xenia to Washington. under the
Dayton and South Eastern Railroad
charter, but other points preferred to
operate under new charter, and tc
make points in the charter that are no,
made in the D. & S. E. charter.
While we have assurances that the
road will be built between Xenia and
Washington under the D. & S. E char
ter, it is almost certain, we think, that
the Springfield meeting to- day will re.
commend that a new charter be oh.
tanned for road from Springfield to
Pomeroy, in Meigs county, naming
intermediate points, and that these
points will be South Charleston, JEFF
fersonville, in this county, and Wash
ington; running, perhaps by Green
Held, cambridge, Waverly and Jack.
son to Pomeroy. We have but little
doubt that such a charter will be OBJ
tanned this week. How much fayoI
the project will meet with, we are no
prepared to say, Our friends at Chill
hcethe, we think, when they are mad
fully acquainted with the condition O
the D. & S. E. Co., will be ready ant
anxious to invest their means in tbi
route. They want cheap coal over
competitive line of railway-and thu
seems to be the united wish of al
parties, and the only thing to be set
tied now is how to get it on the bes
terms.
That a road viii be built throug
Washington, we have no doubt and
it may be, that both prospective road
win be built. Certainly, Fayette coun
ty will not object to this. Neithe
will Greene county.
