Wonderfully Interesting.

Brick Pomeroy has made a great
hit with his new paper THE GREA1
WEST, which he started in Denver last
June, and which he sent to more than
25,000 subscribers to his old paper
PoMERoY's DEMOCRAT, after it was
suspended, following 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 wonderfully interesting pa
per; with it's Saturday Night chapters,
its valuable editorial letters describing
that rich country, its letters from the
people, it's red-hot editorials, crisp
items, wit, ugliness, Home Corner
chats, news, etc. It is now red-hot,
slap-dab, independent paper, above all
party lines, but is death against Unit
ed States bonds and all robberies of
the poor. 1t is sent, one year for 50,
or six copies one year for $40. Since
Brick" made his big strike in the
mines, he is making paper more live
ly than ever. Address, NJ M. POM
eroy, Denver, Colorado, and send for
the paper if you wish something you
will read from end to end.

On the second day of October, 1879.
John Callahan and five other men at
tackled and beat man named Tormie.
near Wooster, Ohio, Callahan, after
the man was beaten insensible, stab
bing him several times with a knife,
causing his death The six men were
drunk -Tormie Was sober. As usual.
in such cases, public sympathy gushed
toward the drunken beast, Callahan.
Petitions, largely signed, were present
ed to Gov. Foster. asking for COM
mutation of Callahans sentence-the
death sentence having been pronoun-
ced-to imprisonment for life, but the
sturdy Governor thought that the
murdered man was entitled to at least
as much sympathy as his drunken
murderer, and that the protection of
society demanded that an example be
made Of Callahan. On last Friday
Sheriff Coulter, according to the law
in such case made and provided, broke
John Callahan's neck, by fastening
him to the end of a rope, and dropping
him from a beam. One Of the strange
features connected with this case is
that petition to the Governor was
signed by seven Of the jurymen before
whom Callahan was tried. It would
seem that either they were wrong in
their verdict or wrong in signing The
petition. Murderers are not worthy
objects of sympathy.

Three Weeks Grace.

There will be three more issues OF
the STANDARD during the year 1880.
We have concluded not to strike Oft
any of our subscribers until the first
issue in January. as they are paying
mp promptly. The first week in JAN
uary we will trim down very closely.
All newspaper publishers desire a
large list Of subscribers, but they want
those who pay. Our paper costs only
one half as much as papers of the same
size and character in other counties.
After we had discontinued the paper
to our campaign subscribers, we still
had large list remaining. We can
now drop 500 more, and then have 200
more subscribers than any other paper
ever had in Jackson county; so you
see we are rather independent about
this matter of subscribers.
Now pay up promptly, and run you,
paper right along.

If science does not receive a severe
back-set, there is a prospect OF the
cows having a long holiday. Olec-
margarine, or artificial butter, has
been manufactured, for years, from
the fat of cattle, and has reached such
a degree Of excellence that it is with
difficulty distinguished from genuine
butter. But the poor, deceived con-
sumer is not to be permitted to es-
cape with eating tallow. A Chicago
man has discovered that as good an
article Of "butter" can be made from
the fat of hogs, as from the fat Of
cattle, so that it is possible that the
economic consumer may yet be able
to go into the nearest butcher-shop
and buy cheap butter fresh from the
hog. It is enough to make one grunt
to think of it!

Mr.. Cunningham figured in Marietta also Fpem
pared to hear a bad report from him.
We find the above in the Marietta
Register.
Jimmy Cunningham came from
Athens to this place, few years ago,
and worked in the temperance cause
couple of weeks. The first Sunday
that he staid in Jackson we saw him
smoking on the street, in presence OF
children who were going to Sabbath
School. Next day he was in our Of
flee, and we frankly told him that we
had not one particle of confidence in
man who talked temperance, or
professed conversion, as he did. and
who smoked. He admitted that 1t
was a filthy, expensive, and useless
habit; but he said it was a kind OF
comfort to him when he was from
home
After Mr.. Cunningham had beer

with some kind Of scientific exhlbl-

some printing done, and promised to

we never heard of HIM until now,
when we hear of his death He made
loud professions of being Christian,
and he talked much about his change
of heart, and used the words Al
mighty God" very often in his tenn
perance talks. He had very large
congregations. but why, no one. could
tell, as he was a man below the aver
age for ability as speaker.

Our Democratic friends have made
a narrow escape from another great
mental and physical strain over dis
puted Presidency. Suppose, now, that
Hancock had carried New York, and
his followers had rejoiced with exceed
ing great joy up to the meeting of the
Electoral College. Owing to dis
crepancy between the State and U. S.
Law the vote of Georgia is lost to Han
cock. Had Garfield been in the mi
nority of course this condition of
things would have been promptly taken
advantage of, and Garfield counted in"
1t would seem from the way things
have turned out, that while Provl-
dence has smiled graciously upon the
Republican party, Fate has pursued
the Democratic party relentlessly.

On last Thursday a colored man
named Dan Smith was hung by mob
at Pulaski, Tenn. The charge against
Smith was, Of course. attempted out
rage upon white girl. He had been
tried in Court, and sentenced to 21
years in the Penitentiary, but the chiv-
airy thought the punishment too light.
This charge of attempted rape" seems
to be very common one in the South,
and the charge is generally considered,
down there, sufficient ground for mur-
der. AS it is always colored man
charged with attacking a white wom-
an, it seems strange-the dangerous
character Of the colored men being
known-that the white women will
persist in wandering about in conve-
nient localities for the terrible mig
gers to catch them in. At least, it
seems so to a calm observer away up
North.
