ALivaIv Emit

About o'clock Monday afternoon a fight
occurred in front Of John Phibbs' saloon, on
Main street, between Geo. Kirby of Lees
burg, who was fined by the Probate Court
for selling liquor, and Marshal Bob Nc
Clure, Of New Lexington. The fight orig
mated on account of Mcclure having tes-
titled against Kirby at the preliminary ex-
animation, or before the grand jury. Nc
Clure was badly whipped, receiving a
black eye, and getting his head pretty Sc
verely cut. Kirby escaped without a
scratch and as soon as the fight was over,
jumped in his buggy and left town, thus
eluding arrest. Mcclure claims that there
was another party who struck him, who
lives in HillsbOro, but he filed no affidavit,
and there was no arrest.

Let Us Do Likewise.

The recent outrageous attempts Of the
Democrats and ''Fusionists" in Maine to
seize the State Government, have reacted
upon their own heads. At the Spring
elections Just held in that State, the Re
publicans carried everything by greatly
increased maiorities. This has encouraged
the party not only in Maine, but through
out the Union. The call is now for Ohio
to show her hand. On the 5th of April
she will show whether she can again give
the Republican majority of last fall. There
will be no trouble about it if every Repub-
lican will stick to his colors and go to the
polls and vote. We have the majority
in town, township and county, and all
that is needed is, that we do not allow our
opponents to demoralize or disorganize our
vote. They have done it sometimes in the
past, but too much depends on united ac-
tion this Spring for any Republican to
waver in his duty. STALWART.

coLORED VOTERS.
STAND BY THE REPUBLICAN TICK
ETS.

We cannot refrain from saying a word
to the oolored voters Of our township and
corporation, and urging upon them the
Importance of standing by the Republican
tickets this spring. They have always
come to our assistance heretofore, and we
feel that We can depend on them now, but
a few reasons why they should support the
tickets may not be amiss.
The result of the elections this spring
will have a direct bearing on the great
contests of next fall, and our oolored vot-
ers certainly realize the importance of a
Republican victory then. If we fail to get
out our usual majorities this spring, Lib
erty township and Hillsboro will be put
down as doubtful in the fall contests. It
has been fully demonstrated that We have
a handsome majority both in the Town
ship and Corporation, but it depends large
ly upon the colored voters, whether it can
all be brought out or not. There is a great
responsibility resting upon you, but we
teel that you will be equal to it, and stand
by the party which has stood by you and
given you your freedom and the rights of
Don't be misled by the false
promises and fattery of the Democrats,
for you well know that party is not your
friend, and cares nothing for your welfare.
They want your votes, but we hope and
believe you will not allow yourselves to be
made their tools.
Remember the foul epithets that have
been heaped upon you by the Democratic
organ within the past few months, denounc-
ing you as lazy, good-for-nOthing vaga-
bonds, for standing on the corners, look
ing for work. Remember them, we say,
when the Democrats ask you for your
votes. They will forget you after the cleo
tions, of that you may rest assured.
The colored boys have done nobly here
tofore, and have helped US to gain many
glorious victories, and we believe they will |
again stand by their friends this spring.
All they need is a gentle reminder of their
duties, and they will not fail to discharge
them. Stand by the old flag, boys, and
vote for the party that defended it.

A MAMMOTH ESTABLISHMENT,
WHICH Is WELL WORTH A VISIT.


A News reporter made a visit to I. A.
FeibePs mammoth clothing establishment
last week, to take a look at his stock of
spring and summer goods, which he is just
receiving, and we were astonished at their
great quantity and variety. 1Lr. Feibel
informs US that he has just purchased
$4,000 worth of goods, which are all Of
the latest styles and best quality. Mr..
Feibel has established an enviable repu-
tation as a business man, which is sufi-
cient assurance that he will do the fair
thing by his customers, who are AOcking
to his store by the hundreds. He thor
oughly understands his business, means
what he says, and his word can be depend
ed upon. He attributes his great success
to his strict attention to business, fair and
square dealing, and a constant study Of
the wants of his customers. You can find
anything in his stock that can be found in
a frst-class Cincinnati house, and at as
low prices. Don't fail to call and exam
inc his fine display before purchasing your
clothing for spring and summer. Read
his new announcements in our Local No
tice columns this week, and call in.

Wheat looks finely. Some people still
shivering in anticipation of the dreaded
wave prophesied by Prof BoWles, and
some Of us, since Feb. ID, have lost all
faith in him and the grOund-Aog too, as
weather prophets.
Our schools for the winter terms are
nearly all closed, and as far as heard from
have been successful. Wesley Roush closed

good to be there.

By the way, there is some talk of forming a
joint stock company to purchase and
patent a calculating almanac, brought to no
tice BY "Primus," of Marshall, in an arti-
Gle in the Gazette Of March lIth. in which
il is figured that two mills on the dollar,
on the taxable property of Highland coun-
ty, not including that on the tax duplicate
for other pixies, for six years. would build
$50 miles Of pike The greatest amount
possible could not exceed ter millions. Two
mills on the dollar on that amount would
be $4,000 per year, or 100000 for the
SIX years, to build over a million dollars
worth of pixies. Holy Moses what
"fgerin." If DeLesseps had had that
system when he was ciphering round the
lsthmus Of Panama, he might have fgur-
ed a hole sideways through that mountain.
In fact, If those almanacs are left to devel-
ope calculation around Marshall a short
time longer, the denizens of old Highland
need not be surprised to find a pike figured
from some Of those hill-tops to the moon,
without any Of the grades being sleeper
than three degrees.
If we can just get it patented, and squelch
out all the old numbers, won't we have

Somebody entered the residence Of Mr..
George F. Fawley, six miles from town,
near the Danville pike, last Sunday or
Sunday night, and stole pocket-book con-
tanning between So and 81 in money, and
a certificate of deposit in the Citizens
Bank for about $50, belonging to Mt.
Zion s. School. The thief obtained en-
trance to the house, during the absence of
the family at church, by cutting a pane Of
glass out of a back window and raising
the window. Nothing else in the house
was taken or disturbed. No clue to the
thief, but Mr.. Fswley is satisfied he must
have been well acquainted with the prem
ises. Payment of the certificate of deposit
was stopped by Mr.. Fawley on Monday.

GUILTY.
GEO. KIRBY's FINE AND COSTS
S30495.


The case Of Geo. A. Kirby, indicted for
keeping a house where intoxicating liquors
were sold in violation of law, at Leesburg,
which was mentioned in the News a week
or two since, came up in the Probate Court
last Monday. Kirby had demanded a
Jury trial, and the jurors were on hand to
hear his case, but when the Court con-
vened he entered a plea of guilty, and was
sentenced to pay a fine of S75 and costs Of
Of prosecution, amounting in all to
s3O4.95. Kirby has sold the saloon and
quit the business, and his fine was secured
by notes at thirty and sixty days, with
Mrs. Rice and her son Nose as securities.
There has been a great deal of interest
manifested in this case, and a large num-
Der of witnesses were in attendance from
Leesburg and vicinity. Kirby was lucky
to escape without getting term in Jail,
which would probably have been his SEN
tence, had he been convicted and not quit
| the business.
