While our town Council are making
valuable Improvements on our streets,
would it not be well enough to turn their
attention to the alleys? Those thorough
fares are almost wholly neglected, and
many of them are in a shameful, filthy
and unhealthy condition. They seem to
be made, by many, receptacles for all the
stable manure, dead rats, dead cats, and
the filth that accumulates about kftch-
ems and out-hOuses, and allowed to re-
main in the alleys to decay, thus creating
miasma and consequently disease. Some
system should be adopted by which all
this filth and rubbish can be removed
from the premises without being allowed
to be thrown into the alleys to create dis
ease. The drainage from many of the
alleys has been wholly neglected; this
ought to be remedied, especially in the
older and more populous portions of the
town. 1t appears to us that here the al
leys should be properly drained, graded
and graveled and kept in as clean and
healthy condition as any of the streets in
town. The cost for the work would be
small in comparison to the good and con-
venience that would result from ju.
dicious expenditure of money in this di.
rection.
Our attention has been called to thii
subject by real estate owners in town
and we hope the subject will receive tina
attention by our citizens and our towI
authorities that its merits deserve.

Ely Light Guards 20 Camp at Chilli
cOth9s


Capt. Millikan is in receipt of a letter
from Col. Entrekin, to the effect that the
new Sixth Regiment, composed of one
company from Washington, one from Cir
clevile, one from Chillicothe, one from
Waverly, one from PiketOn, one from
Portsmouth and two from Ironton-eight
companies in all-will go into camp at
Chillicothe on the 18th of September. A
place could not have been selected better
suited to our boys, whe anxiously await
the time to roll round; and the grand
Soldiers Reunion to be held at that place
on the 18th of September, will capture the
9th regiment entirely.
In consequence of the consolidation of
the 5th with the 9Th regiment, Colonel
and all field officers will necessarially
have to be elected over again; and for the
| consideration of members of the different
companies composing the 9Th, we suggest,
for Colonel, the name of Col. G. Garis, of
this place. He is the man for the place,
of rare military qualifications in which
he has few equals, and would, by his in
domitable energy, elevate the regiment to
standard second to none in the State.
Col. Garis acted in the capacity of drill
master, during part of the late war.
Among the regiments under his charge
as drill-master, was the Hath regiment OF
this State, who will bear testimony as to
his ability. While commanding his reg
iment, the l6sth Ohio, Col. Garis receiv-
ed volley of shots in his left arm and
shoulder, which partially disabled thai
part his body for life. Soldiers of the
Sixth, give this matter your earnes
thought and attention; you will never
have cause to regret it.

The Herald for the Campaign for
26 Gents

We will send the HERALD from now un
til after the October election, to any ad-
dress for 25c. We would like to get up
large campaign list, and place the HERALD
in the hands of every Republican voter in
the county during the coming campaign,
which promises to be a hOtly contested
and interesting one. In order to induce
our friends to assist US in giving the HER
AID as wide circulation as possible dur
ing the campaign, we will send copy of
the paper free until after the election, to
any one sending us list of five campaign
subscribers, accompanied by 25c. for each
or six copies for $1.25. Make up your
clubs and send them in. A little work in
getting up clubs, may be the means of
doing much good in advancing the Re
publican cause in this county. There are
many Republican voters in the county
who do not now read the HERALD who
can easily be induced to subscribe for the
campaign, at least.

rhe Ohio State Far.

The State Fair for 1873 commences at
Columbus on Monday, September 9th,
and continues until and including the
18th. The premium list for this year is,
as usual, liberal, aggregating $16, 900, and
so distributed as to secure an interesting
exhibition in all departments, and it is
expected that the Fair this year will be
unusually good. Arrangements for ex-
cursion rates for passengers have been
made with all railroads entering Column
bus, and the usual liberal terms for ship
ment of stock and all other articles for ex-
hibition at the Fair, will be given on
most of the railroads. Columbus is easily
accessible to our Fayette county people,
and as great deal of interest in the State
Fair is felt by the people of this section,
there will likely be large attendance OF
people, and a fair representation of stock
from Fayette.
