WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR
SHAWNEE.

In the year 1866 we set the first line
of type in reference to a rail road
to Southern Perry. We spent over
two years Of time and labor in the
Somerset Advocate office, of which pa
per we were one of the publishers in
the interests of the Newark Somerset
& Stratsville Rail Road. While we
were doing this the New Lexington
papers were using every effort to def
eat the road. Tney spent money to de-
prive not only the people of Somerset
of a road but the people of ..Saltlick
township. We gave two years of hard
labor to build the road which built the
town of Shawnee. We feel proud OF
the little city and will still do all we
can for her. We will never consent
to allow two sor three scalawags and
drunken loafers to sell out the interests
ofShawnee by pretending to publish .
paper in its interests. The sots who
are the renters and the proprietor o.
the concern have as little principle as
the vilest wretch who ever wore con
victs suit. We hope the citiz ems O
Shawnee will keep an eye ON thes'
wolves in Sleeps clothing, and before
one year rolls round see if what we tel
you is not correct.

Harden the Necks Of Your Teams.

Some horses have tender skins, and the
harness will sometimes gall them cruelty,
in defiance of all means to prevent it
But many times the true cause is attribu,
table to bad collar, bad harness, or a
good harness Improperly fitted to the ami
NAL. A yoke of bows that do not fit the
oxen will often gall them, and unfit them
for labor, when if these things were as they
should be, they would work with more ease
and their skin would not be CALLED. When
a harness or yoke of pows does fit properly,
and the skin is liable to be CALLED, bathe
those parts before they are CALLED, with
cold water until the outside skin appears
quite soft, then bathe them again with a
strong decoction of white oak bark. Let
this be done every day and the skin will
become much harder and tougher than il
usually is. A little care in preventing an
i'll, is far better thaa much labor and skill
in curing it, or endeavoring to obviate its
injurious effect Workiny Farmer.

THE PERRY COUNTY sWINDLERs

Perry County contains as much cor
ruption as any county in the state.
Our people are robbed annually of thos-
ands of dollars and there is no telling
where it will stop. The Herald was
made refund ninety-nine dollars which
it drew which it was not entitled to,
and hundreds of dollars more if looked
up would have to be paid back. The
Herald is supported by nearly all the
office holders and Office seekers in this
county. They never lose an opportu-
nifty to lie on us and also concerning

us that the Herald is an injury to the

same time making every effort to in

thing to injure any public enterprise
in Somerset. They all have that same
feeling they had whentthey jolifed ove1

Sleeps Time.

Sleep obtained two hours before mid
night when the negative forcee are in op
Grafton, is the rest which most recouper-
ates the system, giving brightness to the eye
and glow to the cheek. The diffetence
in the appearance of person who habitu-
ally retires at ten o'clock, and that of one
who sits up until twelve, is quite remarka-
Bile. The tone of the system, SO evident
in the complexion, the clearness and spar
kle of the eye, the softness of the lines of
the features, is, in person of health kept
at Concert pitch. by taking regular rest
two hours before twelve o'cock, and there
by obtaining the "beauty sleep" of the
night. There is heaviness of the eye, a
sallowness of the skin, and an absance Of
that glow in the face which renders il
fresh in expression and round in appearance
that readily distinguishes the person who
keeps late hours.

For THE PRESS.
Mr.. Editor:-Allow me to say, through
your columns that the report circulated
through this community on Monday last
and since that was drunk last Saturday
night; is false and slanderous in every par
ticular. drank nothing then, that was
intoxicating, nor since, and don't intend to.
The author Of the report did il for the
purpose OF injureing me, knowing me to be
a candidate for Marshal at the coming elec-
tion. He knew it to be false: can easily
prove it false, and re fer in support of thi
declaration, to all respectable men who
saw me at any time last Saturday between
daylight and twelve o'clock at night.
The whole story is wilful and deliber-
ate lie, retailed for malicious purposes, but
capable Of doing mischief if not contradic-
ted, for which reason above / give il this
much notice.

We would just say to the citizens of
Shawnee that they should not place
any confidence in the Shawnee Jour-
nal or the debased creatures who are
pretending to run it in the interests of
Shawnee. 1t is NEARLY in Shawnee to
prevent news paper which would be
credit to the place instead of dis
grace, from going there. The socalled
publishers are working for their board
and washing and will sponge their
wiskey and have nothing at stake
whatever. The people of Perry are
well aquainted with Green. Davey, Of

A Thriving institution,

From the ohio Statesman, Dec %.
About the first of June last, we recorded
the incorporation off new institution, The
State Mutual Aid Association, an insur-
ance association based on the mutual assess
ment plan.
Since that date we have almost. lost sight
ofthis enterprise, so quietly and smoothly
has il done its work. A few days ago We
visited the Home Office and found the Pres
ident, Hon. WIN. BELL, in, the Secretary,
]. H. SAMSON, and the assistant, busy
attending to the duties ofstheir offices, and
almost hidden under the immense pile of
applications before them. and issuing cir
tifcates, answering letters, sending out sup
plies, ect. Upon inquiry we found already
upon their books nearly 600 members, from
every part of Ohio. Taking into consider
alton the fact that this Association has been
actively at work only six months, and the
fact that during much Of Jnly and August,
business of all kinds was suspended for har-
vest7ano the great strike, the growth of this
| Association has been remarkable. The
causes which have led to such encouraging
results are the peculiarly clear, equitable
and popular plan of giving both life and
endowment insurance at cost, and allowing
| the members to control their own money
and use it until actually needed to pay
losses A member of this Association does
not have to pay out large amounts OF
money to be sguandered by extrava-
gance, nor do they have to pay their insur-
ance during their whole lives to secure the
! benefit. Those who remain faithful TO the
| Association from 10 to % years receive
themselves, all the benefits of their insur.
ance Some ofthe features so popular with
this Association, are:
1st. Endowment Insurance on the Mu
tual Assessment plan.
i %. Uniform membership fee only S1t
for any age or amount taken.
Sd. No annual dues, or other extra char
ges, whatever.
4th. Return Of all assessments paid in u
to date of claim pro rata, to the number o
irtifcates in force at that date.
5th. No division into classes.
9th Care in selection Of risks, and stric
economy in its management.
7th. Charging the members for insur
ance according to what they get
The fact that they have as yet not had
!, loss, and are rapidly approaching larg
membership, shows that the plan is not a
experiment, and that good insurance ca
be had at home, where all the officers ar
known, and all the money kept within on
own State.
The officers are men of integrity and en-
r ergy, and we have this TO say of our ow
5 confidence in them and their plan, that "
have taken membership in the associa
ton, and would heartily recommend gu
friends to do likewise.
Their Home office is in Rooms and
| Capital Block, near the New York Store.

membership has reached nearly 900. an
