they have no church building. They
have a lot, but are waiting for the
Government to make a sale of lots,
which takes place the 18th of this
month. The Government puts a
price on the lot and gives the oe-
cupant the refusal; if he does not
take it, it is then put up to the high

This is a mountainous region, but
from the number of wagons that
come in every day with melons,
peaches, chickens, sweet potatoes and
other marketing, you wonder where
they find room to raise so much.
The wagons are of the primitive Or
der, drawn by oxen, mules and
horses.
There are large quantities Of fish
brought in, caught in the Wasbita,
some six miles south Of this place.
The woods abound in deer, bear and
other ''varmints." This is not the

Sunday School Collection.
Now that we are in the midst of a
political campaign, and while the
subject of Temperance is receiving
so large a share of pnblic interest,
let us, in the midst of other duties,
not forget the Sunday Schools.
As heretofore stated, the State
Sunday School Union has asked all
the Sunday Schools in the State 10
contribute toward the support of the
State Union, their collections on the
fifth Sundays in the months that
have five Sundays.
The last fifth Sunday was in July,
of which due notice was given, but,
as yet, but little money has beenre-
ported from the Sunday Schools in
this county.
The next fifth Sunday will be next
Sunday, Sept. Both, when it is hoped
the Sunday Schools in this county
will all make an effort to secure a
good collection, and remit the same
to the Treasurer, J. NJ. Boyd, of
Hillsboro.
Let us have a collection from
every Sunday School in the county,
and the burden will not be heavy on
any one.

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TREAS
URER IN DEFAULT.-The defalcations
of the Democratic county treasurers
of Brown and Butler county few
years ago, are of too recent occur
renee to be forgotten, and now
comes the Democratic treasurer Of
Auglaize county, to be added to the
list. 1t will be remembered that he
was recently found in his Office with
his hands and feet bound, and told a
fearful story about being seized and
gagged by robbers while on his way
home the night before, who tortured
him by burning his feet until he
gave up the combination of the
treasury safe, from which $4,000
was found missing. The treasurer
has now been arrested, on evidence
which is said to prove beyond doubt
that he was not robbed at all, but
that the whole affair was a "put-up
lob" in which be was one of the
conspirators, to hide a defalcation in
the county funds entrusted to his
care. Other prominent Democrats
are implicated, and it is to be hoped
the whole gang will be exposed and
punished.

HAM ALLEN is the Republican can
didate for Sheriff in Clermont coun-
ty, and if half the good things said
about him by the papers are true,
be will come very near getting away
with the 500 Democratic majority in
that county, if he does not entirely
overcome it. He has been an omni-
bus conductor between Cincinnati
and Georgetown for many years,
knows everybody, and is clever and
obliging, and would no doubt make
a first rate officer. We hope be
may be elected both for his own
sake and that of the Clermont Cour-
rier, the Republican county paper,
which well deserves a chance at the
county printing.

The town Of Hot Springs is stu
ated in a Wiley of the same name,
is mostly located on one street, which
is about a mile long, following the
Hot Springs creek. It's width, east
and west, is not over one half mile
at any point. Buildings are going
up in every part Of the place. Tim
Der is cheap. Good pine lumber
sawed in the neighborhood, S12 to
$40 per thousand, and houses cost
ing from S1OOto $1,000, are the order
of the day for both residences and
business houses.
No one owns a foot of land in the
valley, and no one can tell how long
he will be allowed to remain. Many
Of the residences, though but plain
box or log houses, by the free use Of
paint and white-wash are made quite
neat and pretty.
Who owns the Hot Springs? This
question, which has been a disputed
one for over thirty years, and has
been through all the State and Fed
eral Courts, has finally been decided
by the Supreme Court Of the U.
States in favor Of the Government
The amount of land in contro-
versy was four sections, two miles
square: Commissioners have been
appointed by the Government to sur
vey and lay off the land in lots, and
also the town. All the houses built
here were built by the occupants,
who paid the original claimants
ground rent, and each occupant had
the privilege Of moving his building
if he left the premises.
The Government has laid out the
town in regular streets and blocks
and as there is but one street, anc
that follows the meanderings Of the
creek, most of the houses will bc
pulled down, but as ofnone them are
plastered, but ceiIed inside, it won
be hard to do.
There are four church buildingi
here, Methodist, (South) Baptist
Episcopalian, and Catholic. There
is a Presbyterian organization, bu
