+. RAILROAD MEETING.

Last week Judge Corwin and Mr.. Kei-
fer of Dayton came to this place in the
interest of the Dayton & Southeastern
Railroad, and Mr.. Warder, of the Spring
field road, was also in town. A meeting
was had at the Isham House on Wednes-
day night where some twenty of the bu-
siness men of jackson were assembled.
DIR. A. B. Monahan was called TO the
chair. and Davis Mackley appointed Sec
retary.
Judge Corwin said he had given the
mineral wealth of Jackson county some
study, and he was of opinion that the
people of the county do not yet realize
the immense wealth buried in our hills.
He believed there was more real wealth
in jackson county than in any county
between this and Montgomery county
He said that Dayton needed our coal and
iron, and our county needed market for
the same. Our interests are mutual
Dayton now used $4,000 tons of pig-iron
annually, and 10000 tons of coal. Day
ton is connected with eight railroads,
and our line would also connect with q
road to Cincinnati.
Judge Corwin suggested that our peo-
pie build a road down Salt Creek, Is
miles, to connect with the road from
Dayton to Wellston The grade would
be less than four feet to the mile; and
there was no grade on the Dayton d
Southeastern road over Is feet to the
mile, except at one point, where it will
be 26 feet, and here the train could be
divided, and half of it taken over this
high grade at time. He urged the adj
vantages of a low grade, or level road.
He suggested that means could be raised
by Dayton furnishing money to build a
rolling mill at jackson, and then have
the rolling mill furnish iron for the road,
and take pay in stock.
Mr.. Keifer stated that Dayton is esti.
mated to contain 10000 population, and
the county of Montgomery $4,000 to So
OO0 There are about $50 manufacturing
establishments in the county, with cap
ital of $4,000, 600, and turning out man
ufactured articles each year to the
amount of S2O,0O0,O0O tits claimed that
the grade of the Dayton & Southeastern
road will be so low that single train
can take 800 tons, or 5000 bushels o.
coal.
| After Mr.. Keifer had concluded, re
marks were made by number of the
citizens of jackson. All concurred in
the opinion that our people are unable
at the present time to aid the road, bu
all hoped it would be built to Wellston
Then we would make an effort to NEE
it at Washington Church, only foul
miles from Jackson. 1t is true, this line
would have grade of 26 feet to the mile
while the Salt Creek route would onl!
have grade of three to four feet. Blu
the other line would run through thu
richest coal region in the county.

Thanksgiving.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October pa
proclamation by the President of the
United States of America:
In accordance with practice at once
wise and beautiful, we have been accus
toned, as the year is drawing to q close
to devote an occasion to the humble ex-
preston of our thanks to Almighty God
for the ceaseless and distinguished bene.
fits bestowed upon us as nation, and
for his mercies and protection during
the closing year.
Amid the rich and free enjoyment OF
all our advantages, we should not forget
the source from whence they are derived,
and the extent of our obligations to the
Father of all mercies.
We have full reason to renew our
thanks to Almighty God for favors be-
slowed upon us during the past year.
By his continuing mercy, civil and re-
ligious liberty have been maintained,
peace has reigned within our borders,
labor and enterprise have produced their
merited rewards, and to His watchful
providence we are indebted for security
from pestilence and other national ca
lamities.
Apart from national blessings, each in
dividual among US has occasion to
thoughtfully recall and devoutly recog-
nize the favors and protection which he
has enjoyed Now, therefore,
/, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the
United States, do recommend that on
Thursday, the 25th day of November,
the people of the United States, abstain
ing from all secular pursuits, and from
their accustomed avocations, do assemble
in their respective places OF worship.
and, in such form as may seem most ap-
propriate in their own hearts, offer to AL
mighty God their acknowledgements and
thanks for all His mercies and their
humble prayer for continuance of His
divine favor.
In witness whereof 1 have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Waghington this
day of October, in the
year of our Lord one-thousand eight hun
dred and seventy-fve, and of the inde-
pendence of the United States the one
hundreth.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Recognizing an established custom,
and regarding it as proper, l designate
the last Thursday of this month of No
vember, being the 25th day thereof, as a
day of Thanksgiving and Prayer.
Let US hope that the people upon that
day will rest from toll and labor, and in
places of public worship and in family
circles, offer devout thanks to God for
the blessings of the year, and while thus
engaged, may the poor and distressed be
properly remembered and cared for.

A Train Evils.

If weakness of the stomach is allowed to be-
come chronic, the following evils supervene-
Digestion is permanently impaired, the system
is very inperfectly norrished, the blood be-
comes thin and wateEy, and the bile being un-
employed for digestive and evacuative purpo-
ses, enters the circulation through the thoratic
duct, and injects itself into the superficial
vessels, giving to the skin and whites of the
eyes the saffron tinge indicative of biliousness.
Headache, nausea, constipation, pains in the
side. palpitations, heartburn, dizziness and
many other harrassing symptoms which ac-
company the internal arrangement above de-
scribed, which, if unchecked, is sure to be fol-
lowed by serious disease, as the rising of the
sun by its setting. 1t is manifest, therefore,
that an inability of the stomach to act upon
the food should be overcome without delay.
The invigorating influence upon that organ of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is speedily felt in
the disappearance of all the disagreeable symp-
toms alluded to. The prescribed mineral RENE
dies for general debility usually fail to achieve
any lasting result, because they do not invigo-
rate the stomach; Hostetter's BitteTs always
succeed because this is their primal effect. The
very TACT that they are such au excellent stom-
achic constitutes them one OF the best general
tonics in existence. To restore digestion is the
final step towards the recovery of health, when
impaired by any of the multifarious complaints
which spring from dyspepsia, and that step
will be found to have been taken by the inval-
Id who has availed himself of this famous anti
dyspeptic remedy.

Let us offer word of instruction to
ianitors of lecture halls, music halls,
churches and theaters, who seem as a
class to shun the teachings of common
sense. Air is required in proportion to
numbers The openings for air which
are REQUIRED after the hall has been filed
ten or fifteen minutes, may in cold
weather be too much while the audience
is assembling Because some may COM
plain of too much air when the audience
begins to come in, it does not follow that
the ianitor must shut down everything
and keep the room right through the
whole performance. Janitors ought to
have in telligence in this thing SO as to have
the audience comfortable. Through
their lack of common sense 1t Is almost
impossible to attend any lecture or
preaching or other public performance
without suffering from foul air.-Cfncin-
nati Gazette.
The Gazette wastes its advice. Trustees
of churches seem to make it a part of
their faith to seek all over the United
States for first-class idiots for janitors, or
sections. We are generally denied the
privilege of attending church during the
winter. without suffering in health and
comfort. We thank God that under the
Gaohan law we are not compelled to at
tand church where health and even life
ire endangered

NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

On Tuesday of last week elections were
held in number of States. Republican
victories were the order of the day.
Last year New York gave Democratic
majority of about fifty thousand. Now
the majority is reduced very low, and
the Legislature is Republican in both
branches. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
ewJersey, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kan
sas, &c, are all Republican. The old
slave States, Virginia, Maryland anG
Mississippi, are Democratic, of course.
