multiplied to some extent here. lately,

would be glad to have them reported
we'll, viii try my hand at it for once.
The excitement caused by the late fire
here, has had its day and has well nigh
passed away the insurance agents, we
understand, have adjusted their losses
or made arrangement to do SOY to the
entire satisfaction of all parties; yet
Messrs. W. H. Mallory & Sims will, no
doubt, suffer more or less in conse-
quence of the rough handling of their
goods DC, for which there could be no
estimate for loss The river is carrying
on her usual amount of business, the
different departments of trade are car
ried on with usual success.
The Tidal Wave has at last reached
us and there appears to be some signs
that the W. W. W. is to be inaugurated
in this part of the county. We notice

HThc Democratic majority in tn

ET The Democratic majority in the
Ohio Senate receives general commenda-
lion for its action in the disposition ofthe
WIENER aud WELSH contested election
case. It is not usual for a legislative
body to lay asideits partisan prfjodces
in sucl, case, and act with impartiality
The Democrats deserve all the more
credit from tue fact that they had fresh in
their memories two recent examples in
which Republican majority had, in def
anceof the plainest justice, given seats tc
Republican candidates who had not beer
elected.

against the company for damages in The

The Tobacco s,respecr.

Late adyices from Baltimore are rather
,iiscnuaging to tobacco growers as we'll
rs dealers There can be no doubt after
making all due allowances fer what may
be said in tie Interest of the dealers that
the supply Of Ohio tobacco is in excess
Of the dem md. 0 ,lr a lmisei amount
Of the quality Of to5acc, grown here is
needed, and if an amount beyond this
limit be growa, it mnst either remain in
the hands OF the merchant, or be sold a
such low rates that the shippers can prof
itably bny and carry for year or two.
Two large crops have overstocked the
market, and it really appears as if there
were some grounds for the gloomy views
Of the commission merchants.
We quote from circular Of WIN
LAMpINa & Co., dated the lst inst:
"The future course of onr market will
he materially Influenced by the rroduc
ton OF the coming season, and both
merchants and farmers are equally inter
ested in having small crop planted
The pitching Of another large crop
would demoralize onr market bEkecpine
shippers and manufacturers from buying
their usual supplies, even atprrsent low
prices, anil would again entail losses or
BUYERS in Ohio. The result would be
stil more disastrous upo1 the growers o
such crop. as il would not he wortl
saving, and might be neglected in the
field, as was the case in 1916
1--WE suggest that farmers who are no
compelled hv force Of circumstances tC
raise tobacco. should abandon it 70: III,
present season, ,hccause it does not prom
Use to pay them. Others less favorahly
situated, should divide their crops, ant
under 70 consideration plant more thar
one third ~ much as last year. Such {
course will give confidence to foreigr
shippers, at once check the downward
tendency of prices, will save the farmer
much labor, and yield him in the end a:
much money as large crop"
| Without presuming to advise in regar'
to matter in which We have no specia
skill or knowledge, we submit these
statements for tte. consideration of thos,
who contemplate growing tjbacco thu

RF-R j HINTON, who was Secretary
of the National Republican Executive
Committee during he late Presidential
campaign, has m ,le an afli lavit in which
he declares that he was paid for his servi-
ces out of the public treasury, under pre-
tense that he was clerk in one Of the de
Dartmsnts This betrayal Of party Sc
cret brings down upon HINTON fierce at
tack by the State Joarn1l whose editor
is postmaster, anl who is very sharp
as we'll as very layal The Journal sue
ceeds in showing that its party employed
as one of its managers despicable, un-
principled scamp. Whether he was em-
ployed because Of these traits of charac-
ter we are not advised.
A Washington correspondent who be.
lieves in the maxim of giving discredit
where lscredit is due, comes back at the
Journal with a sharp pen. He says
among other things:
"One Of two things must happen
There must either be enoughnoise made
at the fact that Hinton accepted money
that he had not earned, to draw attention
from the circumstance that the Republi
can party stole the money from the Ma.
tional Treasury, and gave it to him in full
of services rendered by him to said party
or the people will reflect upon the party
I appreciate the delicacy Of your posi-
tion, and applaud the skill with which
you lead offin the attempt to put the peo
pie on a false scent. True, you will crusl
Hinton, but what Of that, when you may
save the party? Who is Hinton. any
how? He has no friends. Let MS al
kick him. now that he is down. He ha'
no friends. He is yellow dog, and i
you kill him and make noise enough il
hurying the carcass, you may succeed IL
drawing attention from the fact that th
Republican party is more to blame, or a
least just as much as lis.
"In your wrath at the discovery which
you thought you had made, that Hinton
was an independent correspondent yol
overlooked another point. That was tha
while Col. Hinton was Secretary of tn
Republican National Executive Commit
tee, and as such was receiving one hun
dred dollars month, which was ss.olel
for him by the Republican party from tn
peoples Treasury, when he committee
the crime you charge him With, he eou'' &C
not have been an independent CORES
pondent.' The Republican party bein'
shrewd enough to steal money to pay it
managers witl,,is much too shrewd to EN-
ploy independent correspondents init
places of trust. No, when, Hinton W..
hit, one of the foremost champions of tn
Administration and Republican part
/ was hurt IL would be sad if he'peopl
should begin to enquire how many me
are thus quarterel upon the Treasury b

~It is related of Mr. Spurgeon
that during the last seventeen years he
has received thirteen thousand persons
into his church in London on profession
of their faith, has erected thirty-six
chapels in the metropolis, and supplied
them with ministers trained in a college
he founded and manages, in which over
sixty young men are studying for the
ministry. This is, indeed, noble rec
ord, and how widely the circle of his
printed sermons, only eternity can re
veal. He invites all Christians to COM
mune with his church.

HOW TOPLUCK POULTRY.

| have known persons on market day
to go out and kill twelve or fifteen fowls
and bring them into room where there
would be half dozen women and b0ge
pulling few feathers at time, between
thumb and forefinger to prevent tearing
them. Now, for the benefit of such,
give our plan Hang the fowl
feet by the feet by small cord; then
with small knife give one cut across
the upper jaw, opposite the corners #
the mouth; after the blood has stopped
running stream, place the point of the
6nife in the groove in the upper part OF
the mouth run the blade up into the
back part of the head, which will cause
a quivering and twisting of the muscles
Now is your time, tor every feather

TOOLS FOR WOMEN

1t pays we'll to have good utensils OF
any kind, good tools tn work with
Sometimes the work cannot be done at
all without them. These facts apply as
we'll to culintry as to the mechanical
arts. Take, for example, the gem pans,
as they are called. Perhaps tbs gems
(batter biscuit) have been prescribed by
the physician for some member of the
family out of health. or the decision has
been made that it is desirable for all to
use them; the powers that be in the
kitchen have learned how to make them;
The flour has Eeen obtained, and every
thing is right but the pans. They say
however, that this does not make much
difference they will try them without.
and if they like them, then they will
get the pans. They fail, of course, for
the small pans are indispensable to sue
cess. Let any one eat the leathery,
shapeless masses that result from dropp
ing the batter upon fl tins, and imagine
if he can, that they bear more than the
remotest resemblance to the tender,
toothsome biscuits just bursting open
with the lightness and sweetness that
they cannot contain, and which are
the result OF baking the properly made
batter in small pans in a hot oven.-
