Thoughts OH Immortality.

NV lie is short and uncertain will soon gone
Even if reach four years. than half of my
| race is run Sooner later must die. may die
soon Death is among the inevitable things. Is
death the last of me? Does it blot out my being
Or am to live beyond the grave? Am 1 immortal ?
If So where will live? Where will be my eternal
home? What will be my experience there? Who
will be my companions? Will be forever happy or
miserable? These deep, solemn questions come to us
ALL In point Of Importance they overshadow all other
matters of interest. We should not evade them They
should occupy a share of thoughts. We should
endeavor to reach some definite faith in regard to
them, and live according to that faith.
The wisest and best people of the world believe
that the soul mmortal that this life is proba-
ton, preparation, for another life and that death
this probation. This is surely the teaching of
and revelation All the light that we can get
the subject leads to this conclusion. Those who
believe or pretend to believe otherwise, do SO be-
cause they want to. The wish is father to the
thought There is disposition among men to con-
form their faith their practice. 1t is wise for us to
form correct faith nearly as possible, ana i've
accordingly. We haye the strongest reasons for be-
lieving that character is immortal-that human life
is probation eternty-that death closes this pro-
baion-that there is no radical change in character
after death-that if man dies in sin with unholy
habits and incnatons he will remain unoly forever.
Restorationism has foundation in philosophy,
common sense, or revelation. Law is eternal and
changeable. We should live as best we know how.
We should avail of the light and help that
God has placed within reach. All onr earthly
employments should in some way be made to contrib
ute to our Improvement in virtue, and our prepara

will benefit us eternally. Whatever Injuries in

Hon. J. W. Longbon, A. NJ, exam
liner, in his report to the Board Of
Trustees at their last session, said,
AFTER pretty faithful attendance at
your Commandments for about 80
years, I am impressed with the convic-
ton that your venerable institution
was never doing better work than now,
x and that never before has the
State, as well as every alumnus and
every friend Of the University, had
better cause for congratulation or bet
ter grounds for indulging in the hope
Of her future usefulness, prosperity
and success.
Rev. ]. H. Gardner, A. NJ, having
attended the examinations for three
successive days, said in his report to
the Trustees, "After comparing the
results of the work here with examin-
ations conducted or shared in by US
elsewhere, we take pleasure in assuring
you that for thoroug ghness Of work,
for mental discipline and symmetrical
culture, the ONO UNIVERSITY is fully
equal to the best institutions of the
kind in the State"

The town has several saloons and no

Some unknown parties are secretly en-
gagged in transaction which will decrease
the revenue to the State derived from the

The appearance of the town of Wells
ton could be greatly improved with
small outlay. If the authorities would
grade but two of the principal streets
this year, and have pavements or plank
walks put down, and have trees set out
along the streets. If this was done, next
year more of the streets would be graded,
and more trees set out, and in short
time you would have pretty little vii
lage.

OBITUARY.

sMITH.Lanson Smith, one of the oldest and best
Ohio died June 30th, at his residence, in the 10th
year of his age.
The deceased born in the State of New York, in
the year SO5was brought by his parents at five
age to Washington county, Ohio, where he grew
to manhood In 1927 he married to Miss Frances
Amanda Goddard. In 1887 he removed to Jackson
county, Ohio, and settled in Milton township, ten
miles east of Jackson, where he resided until his
death. In 1874 he buried the companion of his YOUTH
who left five children. In 1915 he again married
to Miss Julia 2. Goddard The result of this union
was ten children, making family of ffteen twelve
of whom lived adult age, and eight of whom, with
the mother, still survive.
The deceased man of strong physical powers,
and many the early settlers labored almost
ceasingly to make for himself and family home and
competence amid the wilds which then covered this
part of Ohio. Though successfully accomplishing
this design his of the most desirable homes
in the country yet the excessive toll made him pre-
maturely old and doubtless shortened the life of
possessed of the elements of longevity. About two
years ago he attacked ny paralysis, from which
he never recovered For several months prior to his
death he failed rapidly, and relying implicitly in the
atOnement the blood of Christ whom he had trust
ed and tried to for half century he lOnged
release from the earthly tenement, enter into
the rest prepared for the faithful His trust
shaken, and long after he had become deaf that he
could hear part of the service he would be in his
accustomed at the church that he had served,
and at whose affairs he had worshipped for many
years.
When no longer able to leave his home, the only
boon he asked more to his children four
of whom had removed to the western States. This
desire grated, all arrived in time to embrace,
and be recognized by the father. Like Simeon of old
! he then prayed: Now let thy servant depart in
peace After the arrival of his children his strength
failed rapidly, until finally exhausted and worn out
the life ceased, and surrounded by his family his spr
it called home. His body is the ninth of his
family lying side by side in the cemetery at Old Sa
lem Chapel.
Mr.. Smith was man of strong impressions, and de.
cded purpose, especially when matters of conscience
involved. Early in life he embraced the Chris
tian religion and for half century a member o.
the NJ E. Church. serving as class leader for much o
this time. He was always an advocate of temperance
and for many years n strong opponent of the ust
of tobacco So faithfully was his teaching inculcaeC
by his example, that not one of his family descend
ants either spirits tobacco in any form. Thu
effects of his life not his family alone, h
was extensively known and universally estesmed. Il
his death his family have lost kind and longing faith
err the church faithful supporter, and society one
Its best members.

1,O21. Number of tons, 1886.
Coal shipped in 1S70-Number of cars,
1, ,2O4. Number of tons, 1926.
The furnace went into blast March g.,
1880, and continued in blast until June
16, making 1,724 tons of iron in three
months and thirteen days, or about II
tons per day, which is about double the
quantity previously made by this fur
mace The furnace went out of blast on
account of a strike of the coal miners,
which ended on Monday of last week,
and the furnace is now in blast again.
The company have about 1,400 tons of
iron on hand, having sold only 800 tons
since March Sd.
No foreign ores are used in this furnace.
This company are sinking a shaft a
short distance from their furnace, and a
switch will be1aid to one side of the
shaft from the track of the Portsmouth
Branch of the M. & c. railroad, and the
D. & S. E. railroad passes the other side
tips will be erected for loading cars from
this shaft on both roads, thus giving this
company the benefits of the privilege of
shipping coal from this shaft.to Dayton
via the D. s. s. E. Narrow Gauge, OF
anywhere else via the other road, which
is Standard Gauge road.
The following, referring to Milton Fur
mace & Coal Co., was given to me by j
E. Ferree, Clerk of the Co..
In 1870, tons of iron manufactured

Bushels of coal sold, about 100000. Ma

The company have about 1000 tons OF
iron piled up at the furnace, and are moi
selling any at present.
Milton furnace was in blast until the
last day of June, when she was blowet
out for repairs, and will be ready to gt
into blast again about the middle of Sep
tember. About 5000 tons of iron wer,
made during the six months the furnac,
was running.
Eliza furnace, situated about one mil,
from this place, has not been in blast dur
ing the present year, but is being thor
oughly overhauled and repaired, and viii
