s.J&P.R. Ry--Cheap Coal.


The Springfield, Jackson 6 Pomeroy
Railroad being now finished to Jackson
county, the objective point of the road,
we may reasonably expect to have our
fuel furnished us at a much less price
than we have been paying in the past;
not that the dealers have been charging
us too much, but the railroad freights
have been so great that they could not do
otherwise, Now that we have another
good line direct to the best coal-f1elds in
Ohio, we very reasonably hope that the
competition for the trade in this staple
will COMPEL both roads to do the work at
the very lowest living price. The S. J..
| g P. Ry. has been built upon the most
economical principles, and has had the
most eommendable management from the
beginning, showing that the minds who
conceived the idea and carried it through
have built it in the interest of the people,
who so literally contributed of their
means to the accomplishment of their de-
sign.
The completion of this line, as we have
said, opens up one of the finest 'coal-felds
in Ohio. We have been testing the quail
/
two years, and cheerfully testify to its
real. merit; and, it is said, the Jackson
hill coal is superior, in several particu-
lars, to the Wellston. 1t is harder coal
and will, therefore, stock better. It will
bank and hold fire as long as the best. L
contains no sulphur and produces no Gin
ders or clinkers. These qualities max,
this coal the most desirable for CRATES o
cooking-stoves of any in the market.
We are authorized by the proprietors o
the Springfield & Jackson Coal Compan!
to say that they will be able to furnisl
this market with all the coal of this quail
ity that may be required. This bank
is owned and controlled by three or fou
ofour citizens, who have manifested CON
e memdablc energy in erecting extensiv
works and building line of railroad
: of mile from the main line to the mine
k and are now fully prepared to fill all Of
y ders sent to them for coal, Our citizen
le should give this company a very liberia
j. patronage.

How to Cure ConsumptIon

The great number of deaths from this
destroyer of the human race, and its rapid
increase, call with trumpet voice for the
genius of some one to devise means for the
lethronement of its power. The cure
has been discovered and is saving thous-
ands. Genius has invented a detector
nature has furnished the remedy. Avail
yourself of it before it is too late. A slight
cold, if neglected, often terminates in con-
sumption. To guard against this sure
and fatal destroyer use the only known
antidote, Coussens' Compound Honey of
Tar. Price only fifty cents a bottle. FoI
sale by F. A. Murray, Druggist.

CamP-meerIng ana sabbath Desecra
LiOn.

WASHINGTON G. H., July %, 1873.
! EDS. HERALD:
The writer hereof having attended, the
Camp-meeting now being held Oh the old
Fair Grounds, feels constrained to enter
an earnest protest against the wholesale
| Sabbath desecration which he witnessed.
The admittance fee at the gate, to meet
expenses at camp-meeting, run on
Christian principles, is, in my Judgment.
all right; but, the traffic in such articles
as are not necessary for food, is certainly
a violation of the 4th commandment.
This is called camp-meeting. We look
ed for tents, but saw none; but we did see
half dozen groceries or stands, where
candy, popcorn, peanuts and soda-water,
ice-cream, melons, cigars and tobacco were
sold; and they not only sold, but actually
manufactured candy on Sunday. This is
| a hagrant violation of the command to
keep holy the Sabbath day
1t was stated from the stand that other
similar groceries had been sold, but the
parties had released them. 1t was also
stated from the pulpit that there were two
objects in holding the meeting: first to
make money, and then to save souls
From our observations, they will succeed
in the first object; for, while it had been
announced that the admittance was five
cents, we had to pay ten cents. And, in
addition to this, the hat is stuck under
your nose, for a collection, after every
sermon.
L forgot to mention lin the right place.
that there was also a picture-gallery in
full blast all day, Sabbath; thus aiding
in the first object of the meeting. 1t now
appears, as we supposed, that the main
object of most of these camp-meetings,
so-caned-held by the colored peoples
to make money. The results can only be
bad. There are some people who never
see any other kind of a meeting, and con-
clude that all are like this. No wonder
they hate camp-meeting
In my judgments "a modern horse-racing
side-showing, people-humbuging county
Fair could be run on Sunday with more
propriety than such bogus Camp-meet-
ings. w. G. HOLIDAY.
