"HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE

In all stations and callings of life
merited credit and appreciation should be
bestowed upon the worthy. He who full
fills his mission most perfectly, he, who,
by persevering and Jealous efforts, by dill
igent and close application, succeeds in at
tanning ,emminence merits not only the
self satisfaction he derives from success,
but the appreciation of his fellow creature.
So ran our thoughts when we fully realized
the happy result ofthe operation of DR.. Cul-
bertson, of GAINESVILLE, on the eyes of Miss
Mary Magruder. 1t will be remembered
she was suffering from an almost entire loss
tween daylight and darkness.--A terrible
affiiction resulting from an, until recently,
incurable disease called glaucoma.-Such
was her condition when she was placed un-
der the care of this emminent occulist. Be-
ing close observer and hard student de-
votion of twenty five years to the study of
the eye rendered him familiar with the
most minute organic structures of this
delicate organ, and perfectly acquainted
with its pathology and the most successful
means of correcting it. He at once recog-
nized the fact that an immediate operation
was the only hope of arresting the disease,
so he made an incision through the cornea
and dissected from each eye apart of the
iris.-An exceedingly delicate and
difficult operation attempted by but few sur
geons in the country, but to which and its
skillful performance, this lady is indebted
for her restored vision.
We most heartily congratulate not cnly
her on the happy result but all the inhab.
itants of Central Ohio that they have in
their midst, at all times available, an oc'
eulist whose skill knows no superior in the
state.

OBITUARY.

Aaron johnson was born in Washington
County. Pennsylvania, May 10, 1871, was
married TO Sarah Law, April 10Th, 1872;
moved 10 Perry county, Ohio, in June,
1886, and died February 10th, 1870, Aged
81 years, 8 months and 81 days. His fa-
ther was from England, first settled near
Philadelphia, and afterwards came to
Washington county, Pennsylvania, where
the deceased was born.
Father johnson was the youngest of 8
Children. seven of whom lived 10 II good
old age He lived with his surviving wild
ow nearly g. wears. Ihrrr Of hi- sisters
lived Ia about The age of the deceaced He
was the father OF ten children. (all of
whom are still iiving,) and leaves an aged
widow of nearly 81 years. Father john
son was, on Il profession of his faith in
Christ, received into the fellowship of the
Hopewell Baptist church, Perry county,
Ohio, was baptized October 4. 1910. We
can truly say he manifested his faith by
his works, in living life of Godliness.-
The mind of the deceased was firm and ac-
tive to the last. He gave many hopeful
evidences, that he died in the triumphs Of
faith, and that he only departed to be with
Christ, which is far better. Father John
was Representative of Perry county in
1S43. We feel that the church has lost a
worthy member, the community good
citizen, but we bow in humble submission
to the will of the Heavenly Father.

tion Oh the day of his burial from I'd cor.

and Mitchell also took part in the services.

and family that they may submissively say
the will of the Lord be done.

The subject of Sheriffs' advertising is
Just now worry and a torment to legisla-
tors as we'll as publishers. We are pleased
to see that the bill of Mr.. Reed, of Ross,
which was once indefinitely postponed, is
up again on motion to reconsider. We
regard its main provisions as in the line of
real reform, and in the interests Of judg-
ment debtors, while not in any way against
those of creditors. The minute, detailed
descriptions in Sherifs' sale advertisements
of tracts offered is in general an expensive
SUP erhuity. A statement of whose land is
offered and its locality, with reference TO
the record for metes and bounds, would be
Information enough to any person really
intending to be bidder. In addition, the
parties most interested in having the prop
erty sell we'll, should have the selection of
the medium of publication. We don I see
how the reasonableness of these proper
tions can be fairly disputed .-Lancaster

Sheriff's AdYerti ing.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
There is the usual fuss that in the Leg
islature about Sherifi's advertising. This
time the discussion touches the old story
of official advertising in the German pa
pers. There is just one honest thing to do
with the SheIiff's official advertising. 1t
should be placed at the option of the par
ties interested, in the paper that seems to
them best. The Sheriff should have moth.
ing to do with it, beyond certifying its ac-
curacy. 1t is an outrage upon the unfor-
tunate that the Sheriff should be able to
spin out wearisome advertisements at their
expense, and force them to pay extortion-
ate prices for matter that is of no value to
them, that he may place tn 2 ninnd der large
ly in his own pocket The has not
right to put into his purse SnlDcs!5t of the
advertising spoil, but he notoriously does
it through corrupt collusion with the pub
fishers he deals with. In this county Ham
ilton) it has become the habit of Sheriffs to
put up the spoil of the unfortunate at auc-
tion, and deal with the publisher who will
pay the largest per cent. The abuse sx-
tends throughout the State. It is inveter-
ate. There is no hope OF abolishing it,
The reason is that each Court House has
Its Ring, and pilfering from the people has
become regular business-that the Sher-
iff's advertising is required for the county
organs, and is a part of the system by
which the ringsters of the several coun.
ties are fattened, that they may go about
putting their cigars in the faces of honest
men. Touch the Sheriff's advertising
therefore, and you start into activity al
the Court House Rings in the State, and
each member of the Legislature hear
from his friends in tones and terms tha
mean busines, and he is warned not to Gu
his throat and spoil his great hereafter b.
making a reformer of himself in the day
of his youth.
