To render themselves comparatively
secure from the vi@itations of robbers and
murderers, people living in the country
should keep in their houses, and conve-
niently at hand, well-loaded revolvers,
and other serviceahle weapons, and
when attacked by scoundrels of any
description, they should give them plen-
ty of lead. A good dog Is also potent
three savage fellows of the kind about
the house, would make il ~ warm for
thieves. that any assistance from per-
sons would generally be unnecessary to
worst the scoundrels and compel them
to beat hasty retreat.
Many persons who have always pass
ject to preparation of this kind, on the
ground that its tendency would be to
teach the young reckless and dangerous
habits. But what else can persons SO
situated do to protect themselves against
the desperate devils who are prowling
over the country, and who never hesi-
tate to commit murder if human life
interpose between them and few dol
lars or a suit of clothes? The prompt
killing Of few of these characters in
every locality infested by them, would
speedily end, or at least greatly lessen
the frequency of their depredations, and
render dwelling in the country compar-
atively safe once again. Some rigorous
method must at once be generally adopt
ed to teach robbers and murderers that
their lives are in peril at every step, or
the dastardly outrages which are being
perpetrated day and night throughout
the country, will continue to increase
until there will be no safety anywhere
outside the limits of thoroughly pa
trolled town or city.

OBITUAR

Mrs. KATURA ANN JOHNSON, wife of
Thomas johnson, and daughter Of John
L. Williams, was born in Somerset.
March 80, 1912. She united with the
NJ. f. Church in February, 1859, under
the Passionate Of Rev. s. c. Riker; was
united to Thomas johnson in marriage
May II, 1868 and died December 8,
1875, aged SO years, 8 months, and
days. Her life from child was mark
ed by innocence and cheerfulness, but
on joining the church, she literally gave
her heart to the Savior, and from that
time she seemed to look upon herself as
sacredly given away. She was careful
to do nothing unworthy of this relation,
and so long as she was able she was con-
slant in her attendance on all the privi-
leges and earnest in all the duties of the
church. Less than two years ago. two
1f her sisters died, one in February and
one in March, and since that time there
though she has long been a sufferer.
Two of the children then left mother
less, were, with her husband, the great
est source or her anxiety during her last
illness, as the children had been literal
ly adopted into her affections. Hers
was a quiet, uDobtrusive life, but the
crowded church at her funeral last Sab
bath morning, notwithstanding the rain,
attested how wide and strong was the
grasp of her influence upon all classes of
people of her native town. Every ser
vice that medical skill could render, or
loving hands could offer, proved of no
avail. The destroyer went steadily for
ward in his dreadful work notwithstand-
ing the desolation he was bringing on
the thrice smitten husband, the desolate
sister and the bereaved father; yet not
his but hers the victory.
During her intense suffering her lips
would move in prayer, and the peaceful
smile coming upon her face told of the
inward calm. To her, the Saviour was
a living, real, presence to help her bear
the pain with wonderful patience. She
gave loving message to each of her
family and the friends that came, a week
before her death; gave little Charley to
her lone sister, commended all To God,
and she was ready. The burden of her
message was, "Mcet me in heaven"
and she passed the rest of the time
longing to depart and be with Christ"
urging her loved ones net TO Prieve for
her. She was in great pain during Thurs
day night ard Friday morning, but en-
tirely conscious to the last. Her end
was Peace and her life Is secure.

What Is Best to be Done?

EDITOR PRESS:
While ! regard the recovery of the
County Seat as the most important
achievement which could be underta
ken by the friends of Removal, ard
while continue to regard its possibili-
~ as sufficiently encouraging TO warrant
honorable effort, ! am not forgetful that
there are other interests of n more pri-
vate nature which call loudly for the
aid and attention Of this locality.
Fir.t anon. these interests i Il
GLASS FURNACE.
The raw materials for this enterprise
are. Coal, Sand. Rock, Salt. Lime,
and Soda. Two Of these, sand rock and
coal, are the chief elements-the first as
the base of the ware, and the other the
fuel to convert it-ani are also the chief
elements of cost in the mine and cost of
transportation. Zanesville is adding
furnace after furnace which is proof Of
profits That city reaches out to Perry
county for the coal, the rock, and the
salt to carry on her glass factories, and
pays not less than two dollars per ton
for the removal of these articles to her
workmen. Were a snitable glass rock
found at or near Somerset, where the
transportation of the rock could be cav
ed, and the ware at once placed on board
the cars without carriage charges, and
the coal procured at much lower rates
than GAINESVILLE pays, and delivered with
out carriage to the furnace, and in addi-
tion to these advantages, could the rock
itself be obtained free of cost for royal
ty while it yields the best glass known
in the market, who among the scores of
men that are looked to among us as
having not only sufficient capital but
sufficient capacity to compete with those
who work under disadvantages, or who
are equal to the task of utilizing our
resources of rock and coal and labor
and industry. will deny, or doubt, that
glass furnace here could return better
dividends than it could at GAINESVILLE?
Were suitable glass rock found. 80
situated and of the best quality, there
can be no donbt il would enrich the in
vestor OF the few thousand dollars re-
quired to start, and afford employment
to 1 5. 20. or even SO laborers, according
to capacity and cost of the works. From
200 to 400 per cent on the cost sounds
large but. ] can produce authority which
! no man can dispute.
After have heard from any inquir-
| ing friend, who either doubt, disputes
or endorses my views, I will write again.
In my next essay / will undertake to
prove that Pottery, Brick, and Tile
machine, such as can be bought for 500
and attached to any ordinary steam
power, will realize, 500 per cent on its
cost, and is the kind of machine that
onght to be put to work in or near Som
erset without delay. PRoGREss.
P. s. IF there is any inquiring sonl
who thinks the day Of grace for the
County Seat has been slnned away,
Will, for a small fee, formulate the
terms of salvation, and if the prescrip-
tion is followed, insure cure, or for
felt my allowance. PRooNosIs.
