Republican Boom at JefGersOmvilIes
The announcement that there would be
a Republican meeting at Jeffersonville on
Thursday evening of last week was most
gallantly responded to by Republicans
and Democrats. The meeting was held
at the old NJ. E. Church. The building
was well filed, and the meeting was ably
and eloquently addressed by General Ken
nedy, of Logansport. The General is
pleasant and an attractive speaker. His
audience was respectful, and showed, by
the careful attention they gave him
throughout his speech, that they appre-
ciated the strong points he made, which
were truthfully and ably sustained. He
was frequently applauded by the very
intelligent audience he addressed. The
Republicans in Jefferson township are in
earnest, and are better united on the Re-
publican ticket, we think, than they have
been for several years. Their determi-
nation seems to be to vote the entire
ticket, without a Scratch. Some who
have now and then thought it not worth
while to go to the elections have, in con-
sequence of the revolutionary measures
advocated in Congress at the lastsession,
together with the reckless legislation OF
the Democratic majority in our State
Legislature at its last two sessions, be-
come convinced that it will not do to
allow the Democracy to control either
the National or the State Government,
and that it is, therefore, the duty OF
every voter who desires good government
to go to the polls and cast a solid vote for
the entire Republican ticket.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bushong vesey, was born in Fay
cite County, o., February 26, 1914, died Sept. s.
1879. She was married to her now bereaved hus-
band, Nathaniel yesey, March IA, 1899.
Mrs. Vesey's was beautiful character; endow-
ed by nature with kind, unselfsh disposition
and cheerful temperament she added to their sweet
and greatly increased their influence by long
and close communion with her Savior. For more
than forty-three years she testified that
Christ's blood cleanseth from all sin. Her earn
est prayers and holy living were rewarded by the
conversion of her husband and all her children
Her death came almost without warning, but she
was ready to depart, ripe for heaven, and we have
good hope that she rests with Jesus. As a wife,
mother, christian sister and neighbor, Mrs. Vesey
will be greatly missed. B.

Chilhcothe Register
A little "mill'' for the championship of
Chillicothe occurred in the Emmitt House
alley on Saturday evening last, between
Mr.. Ed. Alberti and young man named
Miller from Washington G. Fl. They had
been engaged in game of ball pool in
the Emmitt House Billiard room, where
a dispute arose between them, and
after bit of an argument they agreed
to adjourn to the alley and settle it in
true prize ring style. An assemblage of
interested spectators to the number of
twenty or thirty supplied the place ofrope
in the formation of a ring, and at it the
twain went. After some little sparring
Alberti made desperate effort to get in
on his opponents ''peeper," but Miller
warded off the blow and succeeded in
planting his ''mauley" squarely on Eds
smeller, bringing the claret and caus-
ing Ed. to back up against the wall to
catch his wind. Time was again called
and Ed. made another lunge at his an
tagonist, but unfortunately tumbled over
an unnOticed ash-pile, and the next mo-
ment Miller was on top of him, knocking
the stutfing out of him. Alberti was sat
isfied, he had enough, and didn't hesitate
to say so-and the meeting adjourned.

The thirty-third birthday of Harvey
Draper was celebrated at his dwelling in
Green township on the 9th inst. by his
neighbors and relatives, numbering
nearly one hundred persons. Every one
seemed to enjoy the occasion, whether in
discussing the merits of the very excel
lent dinner, in testing Harvey's water
MELONS or in drawing together in social
conversation. When far away in their
new home in Indiana, brother and sister
will think of this friendly farewell gath
ering with pleasure, and we hope they
may find as many genial friends there as
they found here.

Family Reunion

There was reunion of tie Marks
family in Matthew Marks Grove on the
10th inst. Something over one hundred
persons were present from the surround
ing neighborhood, Leesburg, Good Hope
and Washington c. H.; also, two persons
from the great State of Iowa-Managam
Marks and John Free. Managam had
not met his brother Jacob for thirty three
years. 1t must have been very enjoyable
to the four brothers-Joseph, Jacob, Man
agam and Matthew-to meet and mingle
together, with numerous other relatives,
on such beautiful day, and in the pure
atmosphere of a well-shaded grove.
