Miss Matilda Fleming, of this village,
a cripple for about fifty-four years, so
much so that she has not been able to
walk for the greater part of that time
without assisting the forward movement
of her feet and lower limbs by taking her
feet in her hands. Whilst on Thanks
giving Day at home alone, Except a
small boy,) possibly thinking of the many
comfortable HOMES which had all the
comforts of life, and the families that
whose inmates were enjoying them
selves, were blessed with good health
and straight limbs and feasting upon the
luxuries of a Thanksgiving Day, she was
startled by a knock at the door, and to
her great surprise there were ushered in
to her presence about twenty of the good
ladies of the neighborhood and village
with baskets, boxes, and packages of
different kinds, which contained the ne
c~essaries of life, in such quantities as
| will make her comfortable for two or
three months-eXcept a supply of wood,
which she has the promise she will get.

came out, giving her sincere THANK to
the kind DONORS, both in words and feel

the donors did not remain to feast from
the good things they brought, but after
congratulating her and consoling her in
her infirmities they departed, doubtless
feeling that it was good for them to be
there.
The occasion, we think, is highly com
~mendable, and is worthy of imitation in
other communities, for ''the poor ye have

"Brick" Pomeroy has made a great
hit with his new paper THE GREAT WEST,
which he started in Denver last June,
and which he sent to more than $4,000
subscribers to his old paper, PoMBRoY's
DEMOCRAT, after it was suspended, fol-
lowing the forgeries of his partner. THE
GREAT WEST is a handsome eight-page
paper, illustrated each week with views
of Colorado mines, mountains, scenery,
etc., and is all in all a wonderfully inter
esting paper; with its Saturday Night
chapters, its valuable editorial letters
describing that rich country, its letters
from the people, its red-hot editorials,
crisp items, wit, ugliness, Home Corner
chats, news, etc. 1t is now a red-hot,
slap-dab, independent paper, above all
party lines, but is death against United
States bonds and all robberies of the
poor. 1t is sent, INT year for 50, or six
copies one year for $40. Since "Brick"
made his big strike in the mines, he is
making a paper more lively than ever.

ELDoRADo, OHIO, Dec. 4th 1880.
EDITOR OF THE DEMOCRAT:
L wish to ask you a question through
your paper. Has the Council of a village
the right or power to procure the labor
and material within themselves and
guild a Calaboose or city Prison with
out advertising and letting it TO the
lowest bidder? Our city Dads have
done this and we claim they are liable
to a heavy fine and imprisonment.
They want to be so sharp and get in
some bad acts of their own by getting
material and laborers. They may have
to pay for their sharp practice as we
intend looking the matter up. They
want to go according to law in opening
streets, &C., now we intend they shall
go also according to law, or make them
dance to our tune. Are we correct
about the way of building public build
ings in incorporated villages or not?
Please answer. A CITIZEN.
(Sec. 1908, Vol. l, Revised Statutes of
Ohio, says, that when a corporation
makes al Improvement or repair ex-
ceeding $500, it shall advertise for bids,

I'm Memory ofFranLie Robbins

- 5000 -
Our little frankie is at rest,
From pain and sorrow given,
And as we lonely sit and mou
We know he lives in heaven.
We oft-times hear his feeble groans
At midnight's dreary hour;
But o! the glorious thought to know
He lives in heavens bowers.
o! could we see his little hands
With lilies pure and sweet,
And live with him among the flowers
And walk the golden streets.
Dear little frankie, fare you well,
We know your spirits free,
And when a few more years have gone
We too will follow thee.

EATON, O., Dec. 9Th, 1875

EATON, o., Dec. 9Th, 1880.
ED, DEMoCRAT-In your issue of last
week L see you ask the question wheth-
er any member of our School Board had
been paid for ''bossing jobs" l hard
ly know whether you speak ironically
or otherwise. However, l have taken
the trouble to interview some of the
members of our School Board in regard
to the matter, and 1 find that this last
year both school houses were repaired,
every door in both houses was changed,
new sash put in the old house and a
new fence built at the new house. The
contracts were made and the work SUI
perintended by the committee on build
ings, consisting of two members of the
Board-Dr. Welsh and Rev. Reynolds.
L am fully satisfied that these men spent
as much time in this one case as any
member Of our Council spent in super
intending the building of any cistern
in town, and yet the members of the
Board never thought of charging for
their time. l find a number of other
cases where the School Board has done
quite an amount of work without
charge. And clear back as far al | can
trace, even during the building of the
new school house, when the Board had
an unusual amount of work to do, no
member of the Board was paid for his
work. Our Council may say this is NO
argument why they should MOI be paid.
1 will admit if. But OF the other hand,
l claim there is Just as much law for
paying members of the School Board
for such work as there is for paying
members of the Council for the same
thing, and 1 claim there is no law for
paying such claims, and any man that
takes the money does 1t without even
the shadow of law to warrant him in
sodoing. TAX PAYER.
