Notes from JefEersonvIIIe.
r.a..... - a.. LA


JEFFERsoNvMLE, o., March 25.
This is growing and enterprising vii
lage. The railroad lends an impetus to
business. Since the arrival of the iron
horse, men seem wide-awake; new firms
have begun business. The railroad being
a new thing, almost every man, woman
and child exhibits a lively interest in the
welfare of the daily train. The young
ladies like to see all the good-looking for
eigners who happen to pass through the
city in their pilgrimage. The young men
are in the same predicament.
Conductor Jones is quite an amiabIe
and accommodating gentleman, though
his good looks provoke most too many
compliments. FIsn't he handsome!'' ex-
claims one fair maiden. ''Wonder if he's
married:' 50 chimes in another. No fiat
terry, conductor.
Within the past two or three years
about twenty new dwelling houses have
reared their stately heads into the ethere-
al regions. Last Fall a beautiful, sub
stantial and symmetrical iron bridge was
erected over the pelucid and ripping wa
ters of Sugar creek. The bridge, which
is quite an ornament to the town, was
constructed under the surveillance of ex-
Commissioner Abram Bush. When the
pleasant and delightful Summer nights
arrive, no doubt this span will afford a
romantic rendezvous
For those tender hearts,
Pierced with Cupid's darts,
to sit and bask
In the silvery light
OF the queen of night.
| The pleasures suggested in the above des-
cription shonld be, and could be, more
| frequently indulged in, if there was a
| greater degree of sociality among the
| young ladies and gentlemen. Come, boys
and girls, make strenuous efforts to in
trodnce radical and much needed i'm
4 provement.
Our Public School closed some time
since. Prof. J. J. Worthington is now
teaching a select school.
Bendel & Roebuck are taking in great
deal of corn. They are enterprising and
energetic business men.
E. Gray & Son and J. B. Fent are first
class grocers.
The firms of o. K. Corbitt and E. H.
Bendel cater to the wants of the public in
the dry goods department.
Robert Cummins sells nice ham steaks,
.cranberries, candies, etc. Walk in and
consult Robert, if you want something
nice for the support of the inner man.
Without exaggerating, this is a good
! business town. All who think of chang
ing their places of residence will find our
village favorable point for locating
1t is admitted that we are environed by
the best farming land of the county. The
citizens invite the attention of strangers
to these facts. Come and investigate

How to Cure consumption.

The great number of deaths from this
destroyer of the human race, and its rapid
increase, call with trumpet voice for the
genius of some one to devise means for the
dethronement of its power. The cure
has been discovered and is saving thOus-
auds. Genius has invented a detector;
nature has furnished the remedy. Avail
yourself of it before it is too late. A slight
cold, if neglected, often terminates in con-
sumption. To guard against this sure
and fatal destroyer use the only known
antidote, Coussens' Compound Honey of
Tar. Price only fifty cents a bottle. For
sale by F. A. Murray, Druggist.

RePealedl
We understand that an effort will be
made by the saloon-keepers of this town,
and their friends, to elect Town Council
men, and other corporation officers, who
are in favor of repeating the 8 O'Clock or
dinance. This class of men, who are so
anxious that law and good order should
be maintained in town, say that the or
dinance does no good. OF course they
know whether saloons are closed on Sun
days, and on week days, from 8 O'Clock
p. M, until G O'Clock a. M. /; and if they
are not closed, these men know the rea-
son why they are not; the fault is their
own, But, if the ordinance does no good,
we ask, does it do any harm? And if it
does not have the effect to close up these
places, as the law requires, why are these
saloon-men so anxious to have the Ordi-
nance repealedP The friends of law and
Orderdo not want the ordinance repealed; !;
they want it to remain as a municipal law.
And If this be true-as it is-the true
friends of law and order should vote for
candidates who, if elected, will enforce
the laws. The object of these municipal
laws is. to restrain and prohibit, and to
punish those who commit violations OF
good order, regardless of morality and
the best interests of civil society. Now,
the question is: Who is to rule-the best
or the worst elements in society? Let us
understand this matter fairly, and ash
ourselves who it is that wants the nint
O'Clock ordinance repealed? Certainly
it is not the meiF~Hho do not want the or
dinance Violated. Pope says:
.sNo rogue e'er felt the halter drawn
With good opinion Of the law"
This is true. 1t is natural for violators o
the law to be opposed to a law that inflict
punishm ent upon those who violate it
provisions; hence the desire to have tn
nine o'clock ordinance repealed, and tn
opposition to the execution of penal laws

EDS. HERALD: When the S., j. s. P.

the whistle of the locomotive seemed to
cheer and animate both village and coun-
try. Then, as token of high apprecia-
ton of the first visit of the iron horse to
the locality, town and country united in
providing a sumptuOus repast for all the
railroad men within reach. The excel
lent entertainment was spread out in rich
prOfusiOn to convenient length, on clean
linen cloths, in green meadow i'll Indi-
| ly. The substantial dinner, with cool
lemonade to wash it down, was well re-
ceived by all; and after all present hal
done full justice to the repast, neat adj
dress was made by railroader, in behalf
| of his comrades, expressive of grateful
| appreciation of the kind and liberal en-
! tertainment. At the close of his address
a unanimous vote of thanks was given by
| the railroad men for the refreshing cheer
| received. From the words and looks of
! all the contributors, we were well con-
vinced that they felt that they had per-
formed worthy act of hospitality to men
| who by tOiling hard through the inclem-
ency of winter were aiding to checquel
