DELAWARE, sept. 4, 1919.
To the Editor OF the Standard:
1t has been so long since have sent
the Standard any news, I'm afraid the
people Of jackson might possibly think
Delaware is gone up; but such is not the
case. We are still among the land of the
living, and troubled only with shakes
and scarcity of money.
Business is not only brisk, many of the
clerks have splendid chances to press
brick" Still, we have hopes of better
day. Farmers say crops are splendid, and
that certainly ought to bring money, and
I quote wheat 80 cents, oats % cents and
corn 35 and 40 cents
Wednesday the soldiers of Cos. E. F.
G. and l. met at Greenwood Lake in
Grand Reunion; every one seemed to
enjoy themselves, and report splendid
time.
Many of our citizens took advantage of
the cheap excursion rates, and visited
Chicago Excursions here have been all
the GO; and many visited places of in
terest. Rates this year, on excursions
have been very cheap.
The campaign am opened. The crisis
am here, and candidates are looking

whisky on the air. Converse, (Dem.) is
put against English. (Rep) for Congress.
English is the hope of the Republican
party, while Converse is reported the
boss thief of the "Dimocratic'' party. In
few days we shall listen to the dulcet
tones of Converse and Pendleton, warn

because trade dollars and Mexican dol
lars are only worth go cents.

POLITICAL NOTES-NO. 3.
Ambrose, Although Leach, Will Not
Stick.

When a man places himself in the po-
sition of candidate for public office, and
by that fact solicits the suffrages of the
people for the purpose of his election, he
becomes, for the time being, to a greater
or less degree, public property. He in
vites an examination of the history of
his past life; he subjects to the scrutiny
of enquiring eyes his actions both public
and private; he submits at the bar of
public opinion, for approval or condemna-
tion, his ability, his integrity, his charac-
ter and worth as citizen and as man
And when a man asks the people to
employ him in the capacity of their ser
want, it is but right that they should
know what sort of man he is. While
the lack of a political morality in the
politics of our country is cause of deep
regret, yet the best men of all parties can
not but unite in their approval of honesty

If some of those idiotic fools who are
so busy circulating reports of the yellow
fever being in town only had a dose of it
themselves, they might learn lesson
To our friends, both in the city and coun
try, we would say, that, at this writing,
there is no yellow fever nor any sign of
it nor any contagious diseases in Gallipo-
lis. The city never was in healthier or
a better sanitary condition than it now is,

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Sept. 6, 1877;

To the Editor of the Standard:
On last Tuesday night about II OF clock,
James Bryan and George Coy, two young
men of this community, were engaged in
fighting. The result was that Bryan re-
ceived three severe cuts with knife, one
just below the ninth rib on the left side,
the other two in the back. His recovery
is doubtful.
This occurrence is one of the rewards
of dancing, as it happened while one OF
these malversations was in full blast, at
the residence of Democratic Demagogue
of this township. This leads us to re-
mark, that this exercise (dancing) needs
regulating in this community; it is like
all other evils if committed to the young,
it will run into fatal extremes.
Is dancing physical culture? Is it in
tellectual culture2 Is it moral culture !?
1t is neither. LEO.

RANDOM THOUGHTS
BY THE EDITOR.

Mrs. Mackley and went to Keystone
Furnace last Thursday, to S. S. picnic
We went in two horse buggy. We
found the road between jackson and
Keystone pretty rough. When we arrv-
ed at the school house, near the furnace,
we saw long procession slowly moving
up the hill north of the furnace At the
store we turned square to the left up the
great hill. 1t was the steepest hill ever
saw a carriage. go up, and 1 remarked
that had often dreamed of finding my
self half way up perpendicular cliff, but
now found myself in reality in nearly
that situation. All got safely up, and on
top of the hill, in beautiful grove, found
some 6O0'to 800 people, and the exercises
at once commenced. There was the best
of singing, all the way through. The
exercises were managed, and well manag-
ed by Armpstead Scurlock Esq.
In the forenoon there were short
speeches by Rev. W. H. Gibbons Rev.
D. C. Washburn and myself.
We had many invitations to dinner,
and accepted that of B. H. Moore and
wife. We had a frstrate dinner, and
must return our thanks to Mr.. and Mrs.
Moore, Mr.. and Mrs Robb, and many
others, for courtesies
After dinner there were speeches by
Rev. A Cartlitch, James B. Paine, John
T. Moore, A. w. Long &c. Plenty of
good music was interspersed. 1t was a
very pleasant, and, l believe, very
profitable meeting. We got home safely
very much pleased with the days recrea
tion.
- On Saturday went with my family to
Byers' Grove, mile north of Erwin s
. Mill, or Leo Postoffice, in Jackson town
ship. When near the place we fell into
the line of long procession. The grove
was very beautiful one. and there must
have been one thousand people there. P
H.Ga:.rett conducted the exercises, in q
very creditable manner. The exercises
were much the same as at Keystone
Speeches were made by Rev. B. E
Thomas, of Wellston, Rev. Mr.. Cassidy
Rev. ] Jonathan Thomas, Rev. E. W. Lloyd
Gilbert Robbins and A. w Long. They
would not let me off free. and I made
them three minutes speech. The sing
ing was very fine. 1 was much pleased
with the singing of little child of Mr.
Harris, 1t could not have been more
than four years old.
.~ We had many kind invitations to din
ner, and took dinner with the family o.
Granville McKinniss.
There were many boys and young mer
at this meeting, and they behaved with
the utmost propriety. l do not believe
there is a county in the State of Ohio
: that can show, in proportion to the popu
: Flation, SO many promising young men as
= can Jackson county.
ofA AS we came home we stopped to gel
some water and take rest, at the resi-
q dence of Mr.. Emmons, whose daughter il
living with US. We were treated with
much kindness, and Mr.. Vsughters
father of Mrs. Emmons, came over, and
he and Mrs. Vaugbter urged us to make
them visit, which we all intend to do
when the hazlenuts are ripe.
