The Herald for the Campaign for
25 Cents.

We will send the HERALD from now uD-
til after the October election, to any ad-
dress for 25c. We would like to get up a
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 a copy of
the paper free until after the election, to
any one sending us a 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.

of his neighbeFs greetedshim on is re-
turn from town, under the shade of the

set which fairly groaned under tfieweight
of the gHeat abundance of the good crea-
ture comforts with which cur county so
richly abounds.

Martin Graham Killed by Lightning

From the Blade, Rush county, Kansas,
paper, we clip the following account of
the death of Mr.. Martin Graham, a form
er resident OF this county, and son of the
late James Graham, of Mt. Sterling. His
death occurred on the ID of last month:
'FOur community was startled on Fri
day evening the 2d inst, by the sad in
telligence of the death OF Mr.. Martin Gra-
ham who lived two miles west of Walnut
City, being killed by lightning.
"Mr. Graham, his little son and Il
young man in his employ, about O'Clock
p. m. were on their way home when a
thunder storm was approaching, the light
ming struck and killed Mr.. Graham and a
pair of fine horses, shocking his emDlOvee
and not affecting the boy in the least, who
was sitting between the father and en-
plOyee.
sit was our pleasure to have made the
acquaintance OF Mr.. Graham shortly after
he moved here from Ohio, in February
last, and we had considerable intercourse
with him, and we know we but speak the
sentiment of all our people who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance when we saw
that he was a man of more than ordinary
intelligence, with spOtless character,
always attending to his own business
with no unkind word for or against anv
one. of pleasing address, always cheerful
and bnoyant with hope, in this sad Provf-
Dental event. A fond wife and sweet
| children have met with an irreparable
loss, and the community one of its best
citizens. Mr.. Graham was about 81 wears
of age, and his funeral being hasted bv
decomposition taking place, lie was bur
led on Saturday evening about O'Clock
| p. m., and although no warming in the
country had been given, and many per-
sons had not learned of his death or time
| of burial, his remains were followed by
| the largest funeral procession ever seen
in the county, from his late home to the
| school house, where the Rev. Mr.. Ash
baugh preached very serious and inter
esting discourse on the occasion. After
which the procession, with the remains of
deceased, proceeded to the cemetery.
where he was buried.
"We cannot dismiss this sad event with
out expressing our sincere coincidence for
the widow, children, aged mother and
other friends, hoping that they all NAV
receive grace sufficient to bear up in the
hour of their distress, and be able in the
language of the PsalmiSt to say, "The
Lord hath given, and the Lord hath taken
away. Blessed be the name of the Lord .

On Thursday last, on the invitation of
President Ely, of the c., W. & G. Ry., an
excursion party of about one hundred and
thirty citizens of Lebanon, WaynesviIle,
and Warren county, made trip over the
CIV. & c. Ry. to this place and return,
for the purpose inspecting theroad and
viewing our town and forming acquaint-
anee with our citizens.
The party was headed by Mr.. 5. S.
Haines, president of the Miami Valley
narrow-gauge, and was composed of the
entire board of directors of that road, the
county officers of Warren county, the
city officers of Lebanon and Waynesville,
and a number other prominent citizens
of Warren county. The Waynesville
cornet band, an excellent band, by the
way, accompanied the excursion, furn-
ishing splendid music on the trip, and
serenading the town on their arrival here.
The train reached here at u 80, and
the excursion party was met at the depot
by the municipal officers of the town and
other citizeus,and conducted to the Ar
lington House, carriages being furnished
for the ladies ofthe party, who numbered
twenty or more. At the Arlington din
ner had been arranged for by our citizens,
and the proprietors of that popular house
entertained the visitors in manner which
did credit to themselves and their House,
and gave excellent satisfaction to their
guests.
After dinner the excursionists and a
large number of our citizens assembled at
City Hall, where Mayor Barclay well
coined the visitors in a brief and appro-
pirate speech, which was replied to on the
part of the excurionists in pleasant
manner.
During the remainder of their brief
stay, the visitors were shown about town
by our citizens, and at 3:15 p. m. they
again took the train for home, and we
hope left with favorable opinions of our
town and people.

How are we to protect ourselves from the
depredations OF thieves and robbers with
which the whole country seems to be in
tested? The frequent robberies of houses
and pocket-picking that is being commit
ted are becoming alarming, and some
thing should be done in the way of safe
protection for the citizens of town and
country.
