The Ely Light Guards, of this, place,
known as Company ''B, . of the 9th Reg
iment, o. N. g., who are now in camp at
ChiIlicothe, do not feel on the best of
terms toward Col. Entrekin for the man
ner in which he has treated them in regard
to their rank in the regiment. In con-
solidating the 9TH with 9th regiments, the
Colonel knew that the company from this
place was the ranking company by their
being senior in organization, and as such
he should have given them the rank of
Company CA" which position in the
regiment they are justly entitled to. The
Sill Guards of Chillicothe, to whom he
has so graciously rendered the rank of
Company "'A,' is the youngest company
in organization in the regiment. 1t was
enlisted and organized last June-having
by virtue of the expiration of their term
of enlistment been discharged from the
State service at that time, making them a
new company, while the other compa-
nies have been organized from three to
| four years

Treasury Matters.

For several days past good deal of ex-
citement and uneasiness has been appar-
ent in town in relation to a rumor that in
the settlement of Col. Garis, the out-go-
ing County Treasurer, with the Auditor
and County Commissioners, there was a
deficiency of funds in the Treasury
amounting to between six and seven
thousand dollars. The Treasurer seemed
to be unable to account for the deficiency.
An inspection of the Treasury was made
by order Of the Probate Court, and this
report, which will be found in another
column of this paper, shows the def Glen
cy to be So, ,23O.6O. This is the best infor-
nation we can get in relation to the mat
ter at present. What future investiga-
tions may develop, cannot now be tOld.-
There is mystery about it, and we feel
no disposition to apologize for any Off
eial, or make any defence or censure be-
yond what may be justified by the facts,
as they may come to light in the course
Of official investigations. 1t is due the
people that this matter be fully and fair
ly Investigated, ,and the facts made known.
True, the County will not loose cent
by the deficit, as the bondsmen are among
our most responsible and wealthy cIti-
zens, and will, as soon as the deficit is of
ficially ascertained, place the amount in
| the Treasury

our Cand1date for recorder.

1t has been rumored to some extent
that our Republican candidate for Recor-
der, z. W. Heagler, Esq, on account of
ill health would probably ask that his
name be withdrawn from the ticket.
Hearing this report we called on Mr..
Heagler at his Office on Monday last, and
interviewed him on the subject. He was
attending to his official duties, and told us
that he was recovering from the sickness
with which he had for a few days been
afflicted, and that his health was now
quite good, and that the difficulty in hear
ing, in consequence of a severe cold that
he had taken, was improving and he
thought in a short time he would be free
from that difficulty. He said in view of
his improving physical condition it was
not his intention to withdraw from the
candidacy, and that he would be thankful
to his friends for their votes on the first
Tuesday of October. We never have had
a more competent, honest or faithful pub
lie officer than Esq. Heagler. He is an old
and true citizen and has proved himself
worthy of every position in which he has
served the public.

Died at his farm, near White Oak, Madison Co
Ohio, September 18th, 1873, after two weeks of ILL
ness, which confined him to his bed, JOSEPH OFT,
aged Il years. II months and days.
Joseph OFT was born i'll Berkley county, Va,
October 10th, 1906, and when he was but months
old his parents moved to Harpers Ferry, where he
grew to manhood and married his present estima-
BILE wife, who survives him after happy married
life of 45 years. He began the struggle of life in
early manhood, being employed in the United
States Armory, at Harper's Ferry, and by his en-
ergy and skill he soon rose from the position of a
workman to that of Inspector of Arms, which po-
sition he creditably filed for number of years.
By that industry and energy which marked even
his advanced life, he succeeded in accumulating
sufficient means to purchase the SCrosby farm,''
near Bloominghurg, Fayette county, Ohio, to
which he moved his family, October 10th, $780, and
where he resided for two years. After selling this
farm, he purchased the one.upon which he lived
for the last quarter of century, and where he
died. He was not connected with any church, but
was firm believer in Almighty God, and His
holy word. A strict observer of the Sabbath and
regular attendant upon Divine service; his
choice being the Presbyterian Church. He was
strictly honest and upright in all his dealings with
his fellOw-nen, and had many warm friends.
Death was not an unwelcome messenger to him,
for shortly before his departure one of his daugh-
ters approached his bedside, when he took her by
the hand, and raising his other toward heaven,
said: S'CIara, Ills clear'' Thus departed an old
settler, a true friend, beloved father, worthy
citizens, a devoted husband. May IsraeIs God
comfort the bereaved wife and sorrowing family.

that when he has sold the machine they
can be taught to operate it in few mo-
