COMING IN.

Our subscribers are coming pretty reg
ularly and paying up. In looking oyer
our subscription list, we see at least one
thousand of our subscribers whose time
has already expired. or which will expire,
in the year 1875. A very few have the
figures 1874 standing opposite their
names. Now if these one thousand would
all pay before the commencement of the
next year, it would bring us in 81 500.
Only think of thati 1t would place us
in so comfortable pecuniary condition
that we could make a much better paper.
We work diligently and earnestly to try
and give our subscribers paper that will
be worth much more than the money
they pay for it.
Very generally, we are successful. All
who come to pay, say they cannot do
without the paper. One woman living in
town, who had taken the paper for sew
eral years. became scared about the hard
times, came and paid up, and said she
must try and do without the STANDARD
for while; but on the next day she
came back and subscribed again.
Some of our exchanges say that they
will not urge their subscri bers through
their papers to pay-that they will send
bill to each. Our objection to this
plan is the cost and work 1t is not in
good taste-we believe it is violation
of law as well, to dun debtor on a postal
card. Now suppose we should send 6
separate bill to every one of the one
thousand subscribers whose time has ex
pired during the present year. The post
age and bill and envelope would cost
cents each, or $40 in all We could mo-
stand this.
Now let every subscriber regard thiI
Particle as his bill sent, if he find, on ex
animation of the label on his paper, thai
the figures do not extend beyond the
year 1875

ANOTHER RAILROAD.

We have heretofore spoken OF the
great advantages to be derived by. jack
son county from the construction of
railroad down the Scioto Valley from
Columbus to Portsmouth, and eonnec-
tion with this road by branch from
Jackson to Piketon. The Hillsbough
News now revives the project of building
a road from that place to Piketon. This
will be substantially the old Cincinnati,
Hillsborough and Parkersburg road, so
far as this place. This road, in our opin-
ion, would be of much more value to our
county than the Springfield road. 1t
would give us a direct route to Cincin-
natl. Take map of Ohio, and you will
see that road from jackson by way OF
Piketon and Hillsborough to Cincinnati,
is almost straight The road from Hills
borough to Blanchester, thence to Gin
cinnati, is in operation. From Hillsbor-
ough to Piketon is but little more than
twenty miles, and much of the work was
done over twenty years ago. on the old
Parkersburg road.
The News thinks the people of Hills
borough and Highland county can raise
the money for this short link, in order
to reach the Jackson mineral region, and
other connections The only apparen
trouble is, that the people of Pike anG
Scioto counties have suspicion that the
Valley road will not be built below Chill
| licothe.

JACKSON COUNTY.

Titus, Simmons and Titus, have got up
complete atlas of jackson county, from
actual surveys. 1t took nearly two years
to make the surveys. This atlas contains
a map of the State of Ohio, map of
jackson county, and map of each town
ship in the county, showing the land,
residence, ETC., of each inhabitant of the
county. 1t also gives plat of each town
and village in the county 1t is quite
accurate. and is very valuable work.
Over one thousand copies of this atlas
have been sold in the county, by SUBJ
scription, and they have recently been
delivered.
We have thought that in view Of the
rapid progress of our county, especially
in the development of its mineral wealth,
that somewhat minute sketch of the
early settlement, progress, and present
condition of each locality in the county,
would be interesting and valuable, and
we have concluded to commence such a
sketch next month. During the year
we will visit every part of the county
and give brief historical sketch of each
locality. We will call upon all the old
settlers of the different localities for
their personal recollections of the early
history and subsequent progress, and
present condition of their several parts
of the county.
We notice in the maps contained in
the atlas above referred to, that coal and
iron ore have been discovered in nearly
every part Of the county. By personal
inspection, and the information we will
be able to get from the citizens, we hope
to be able to show much in the condi-
ton of our county that will be valuable,
and which will further attract attention
from other places, and bring capital into
our county.
We expect to receive pay for the labor
required, in large increase in our sub
scription list, and the additional value
that will be given to the STANDARD.
Those who desire to get the commence
ment of these local sketches, should send
in their subscriptions at once. Only one
dollar for ten months.
