MIR. EDITOR AS Il people, for a
number of years past, we have receiv-
ed Republican porridge as steady
diet until our stomachs are more or
less disorganized, and the Leaders
recipe for cheap soup affords us no re-
lief, there is large vacuum within
us which calls for nourishment. We
were mad when we went to the polls,
and thirteen of US deposited Green
back tickets, aud one Crusader. Our
other friends were confined at home,
sick with bad disorder calledApathy.
consequently there was Democratic
gain. A Democratic GoveLnor! A
DemocraticL Legislature "Yum yum.'.
Toll the bell gently for poor Jimmy
DeGolyer:
Take him up tenderly but throw him aside,
He has fulfilled his mission. it is time that he
died;
As champion of freemen, lie was false and un-
true.
For U. S. Senator, jimmy. never will do,
We will soon have new bridge
completed at the Center. 1t is true
we have no stream to span with it but
the times are hard and Republican
muscle must have employment, so they
propose to run ditch to it, and when
it rains they will try and pursuade the
water to run under it. If 1t should re-
main dry any ledgth of time, thcCom-
missioners may possibly dig a we'll
and erect a Wind Mill, and by this
means furnish a generous supply of
water, Poor tax payers!

Hayes Letter to Garfield i.

The Washington special of the 14tf
inst, to the Enquirer says:
''lt will be remembered that dn:ine
the summer General Garfield, ofOhio
denied that President Hayes had writ.
ten him letter requesting him tC

in Ohio. The substance of the letter
was printed in the New York Sun,
which Garfield said was forgery in
every line and sentence. The follow

did write to Garfield:

We have not been silent for these
two weeks past because the good old
Press was "full" of the premium list
of the Portage County Fair-and why
it was not is more than we know, fol
fairs everywhere have been good and
well patronized this year-but because
the thread of desirable news had be-
come 30 attenuatcd that we were afraid
it would break unless we relaxed the
tension.
To enjoy the delicious, easy undulat.

beautiful country road, as we did on a
recent occasion, one must secure a seat

No great changes have taken place
since our last to the Press. The farm
ers are all gong through the same ole
routine of duty, securing their fal
crops. Potato digging is, during The
fine weather, the order of the day
The crop does not turn out very heavy
per acre, bnt the tubers are of good
quality.
Good health and plenty of work
prevail among the people of this town.
There is occasionally some very fine
stock raised in this town. A few
weeks ago Mr.. III. G. Chapman sold a
fine spring lamb for SIG. the wool on
which measured 8 inches in length.
Surprise and birthday parties are
among the attractions of this town
and vicinity. On the evening of the
9th inst, a party of friends and rela.
tives called at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Darwin Smith, in honor OF
their crystal wedding. There were
quite a number of valuable presents
made on the occasion
The 63d.anniversary of the birth of
Mr.. L. w. Pike was celebrated At his
residence on the evening of Oct 10
The occasion was also q happy one TO
those who had the pleasure OF being
present. His children. as a token of
their love and esteem, presented him
with a very costly lounge. a.;lq
Last Monday. Oct. 18th, the 73rd an
niversary of the birthday of Mrs
Daphne Moulton. wife Of Anson Moul-
ton, former resident of our town, WAS
celebrated at their residence inSufIield.
A large assemblage of friends and rel
atives were present, mostly from
neighboring towns, and three of whom
were from the States of Illinois and
Kentucky. Six of their children were
present, also twelve grandchildren and
two great-grandchildred. The Suifleld
Brass Band kindly donated their SER
vices, and produced some very fine
music. At p. m. splendid dinner
was provided, the tables contained the
choicest and best the country could
afford. The event was one long to be
remembered by those who had the
pleasure of attending. Mrs. NJ. is ma
alive of this Buckeye State, was born
in Trumbull county in the year 1904,
and was the daughter of the late
Champlain Minerd. Soon after her
birth her parents moved TO Suftield
township. Mrs. NJ. attended the first
district school that was taught in that
town. There were only about nine
scholars. The teachers name was
Miss Lucy Foster. On the 3lst day of
August, 1919, she was married to An
son Moulton. of Brimfield, where they
resided until the year 1864. Selling
their property in this place they moved
to Suffield, where they now reside.
The party was a complete surprise to
the old lady, not expecting to sec SO
many visitors at one time. The ecca-
sion was highly enjoyed by the old
pioneers present, bringing together
old acquaintances and friends whose
early days were spent in what was
hen q vast wilderness. d. {

Friday. at the instigation OF his step

Hewitt with attempting to bull doze

portion of the evidence, and am not
prepared to express an opinion, as to
the relative merits of the testimony
developed by the contestants, but Of
one fact all were satisfied; that ex-

family TO any great extent, and that a
person seeking rest and quiet from
the rude shocks of selfish world

Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. 1t gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation Of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and max
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
AS a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

An "ethicap' contemporary comments
thusly: "The attempt to assassinste Gov
I" ernor Packard, of Louisiana, was char
" acteristic of the fire eating class of dem
ocrats at the south" AS applied to this
80 called attempted assassination" it
would be fully as reasonable, judging from
the well known character of Louisiana pol
iticians, to say that the whole thing was a
"put up job" designed to have its effect
on the electoral commission; as, indeed,
New Orleans dispatches state that it wac,
and Washington kilograms, corroboratipg
it, say Kellogg and other Louisiana poltl-
clans were anxiously awaiting kilograms
announcing the attempted assassination"
so as to carry the news to the president.
But one story is, probably. as false as the
other. Saturday mornings kilograms,
published simultaneously with the CON-
ment quoted, state that Weldon was not
one 'of the fire eating class democrats at
"the south, but the son of Philadelphia
clergymen, who went south, less than a
year ago, with commendatory letters from
northern republican mercantile houses, and
that he was undoubtedly insane from excess
i've drinking. The country has had political
strife and turmoil enough without having
every shooting ARRAY at the south tortured
into political crime.
