In order to beat Uncle BENNY Ho-
MAN in the Republican Convention
for Infirmary Director, the friends of
RANDALL circulated a report that Mr..
HoMAN owned a farm on the county
Poor House road, and that when he
visited it he always made it a point
to stop at the Inflrmary and then
charged the county for the visit. OF
course it was false and the Ring
knew it-but everything to carry out
their programme was resorted to in
the Convention. Mr.. Holman was
Infirmary Director for many years,
and we say it without fear of contra
diction, that he made as an efficient
and as honest an officer as Preble
county ever elected, and that his
charges for services during his terms
will show on the books to be less
than many, if not all of his associ.

We despise and detest cowardly
irsinuations, personal %detraction aud
abuse of citizens through the col
umns of o public journal, and do not
and will not permit it or resort to it
in the DEMOCRAT, except in self de-
Tense, which truth our readers can
bear us out in. II does not come
within the province of the present
manager of the Eaton Register to
squeal on this point. He has with
out any excuse whatever, dragged
private character in every shape in
to his columns to advance party pc,
litical ends, and until he learns and
performs the duties of a gentlemanly
journalist in this respect, he is. moi
the proper person to complain.

Miss. Rounds School Exhibition,
PIONEER, Feb. z, 1877.

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
We were informed that the school
in the Meeker District were to have
their closing exercises in the evening
of February the I'd, and as a very
natural result of this impaired infor-
mation,-having, as we fancy, a hearty
appreciation of such exercises-we
made our arrangements to 60. In
fact, we did more than that-we went.
And, Sir, to our credit be it said, we
took "Betsy'' along with us.
When we tell you and your read
ers that Miss Rounds has been in
structing this school in her indefati
gable and unequalled manner for FIVE
months, it is unnecessary to further
state that we anticipated a good time.
Our expectations were much more
than fulfilled by the REALITY.
The exhibition took place at Hines
Chapel. A stage had been fitted up
with curtains, green bows and other
conveniences. The Chapel was un-
comfortably crowded; but worse than
that, it was impossible to secure any
ventilation. cts passing strange"
that people, so intelligent as we
Americans claim to be, should be SO
ignorant of the simplest laws of health.
If some of the air that human beings
were breathing in that audience was
bottled up, and the savagest yellow
jacket put in the bottle, we venture
to assert that before five minutes
would elapse, the yellow jacket would
pass to ''that bourne from which,"
etc. His business end would be as
harmless as chestnut. But what
condition can mans olfactory nerves
be in if he can not only breath such
pollution with satisfaction, but appar-
emily gloat over it, as ''the SOW that
washed?" However, some one might
Justly remark, if we didn't like it we
might ego OUT" we're only passen-
gers. Let us get to the review of the
exercises. 1t is a much more savory
theme.
Nearly thirty pieces comprised the
programme, consisting of recitations,
tableauxs, dialogues, singing, etc.
The opening song, "Music Every
where" was a quarteste, and sounded
sweetly, especially as the tenor was
carried by lady's voice. Praise
must be given to little Jimmie O'Don-
nell, a lad of only 10 years, who re-
peated "Washington's Farewell to
his Army; finely for such young
ster. Miss Minnie Hurt recited,
"When our Ship Comes in" plainly
and with apparent ease. "The Fair
est Flower" by Amelia Metcalf, was
not so well spoken. A little more
study would have given her greater
freedom. Johnnie Pearson spoke, ga
Mothers Blessing on her Sailor son.
splendidly, showing practice and a
good memory. One of the figures of
the evening was Miss Dimick's read
ing of ''Hard Times" A merry little
song, in which many members of the
audience received smart raps over the
