How beautiful is all nature in the glad
spring.time The merry birds. the busy
hum Of industry, the happy shouts OF
children nj their play, all swell In one
grand chorus Of rejoicing. Flowers, too,
are unfolding on all sides, and how
pleasant TO greet them year after year.

We should love them less. They might

der other forms, but they would not he
the yiolets snemonis and spring beau
ties we loved last year. Whatever our
rowing fancies may say, there Ia virtue
in constancy which has a reward above
all that tickle change can bestow, giving
strength and purity to every affection oil
life and even throwing additional grace
about the flowers that bloom in our ns.
tive fields. We admire the strange and
brilliant plant oi the green house, but
we love most the simple flowers We have
loved Of old, which have blooIned many
a spring, through rain and sunshine, on
our native soil.
Our citizens have been aroused 10 the
importance Of sustaining q library, aud
victory is written upon the banner OF
our Library Association. For years II
has struggled on only by the persever-
ing efforts OF very few unassisted by
the many whom II seemed impossible 10
interest in this good work. But to-day
the skies look brighter and success
seems sure. Twenty-eight names have
been added, new books ordered, and
with those already in hand, good read
ing matter may always be had And
now, an people, let us decide that ior-
ward shall be our motto for all the fu.
ture and let Barnesville stand abreast
with her neighboring towns in all that
pertains TO advancement and culture.
One Of the most wonderful political
changes Is the transfer OF support from
Sherman to Blaine in various counties
OF Ohio. Two months ago there were
only dozen pronounced Blaine men in
this township. At the primary election
last Wednesday there were Si, while
sherman had 40. This gives sherman
eight votes for Warren township in the
county convention. The contest
was most animated and. until the
vote was countei, quite undecided.
The other townships in this region vote
as follows: Kirkwood. Blaine 5; somer-
set, sherman I; WAYNE. Blame ! Gosh. |
en-, Sherman 3. The vote of the coun-
" as far ~ heard from is: Blaine, "a,
Sherman, 81. The other townships will
probably increase Sherman's majority.
although all the votes are not In. but u
is believed the county ia for him by q
small majority. Ii has often been won
dered why Ohio goes back 10 some
extent on John Sherman. There IN In
truth a bitter fight made against INN by
the Blaine men, as MAS made IN the ex-
citing Greenback campaign by the Dem
ocrats. There is large Greenback ele.
ment in the Republican party, and they
oppose many ledures OF sherman's
financial policy. Blaine comes nearer
representing their views, and this is the
reason he is 10 strong in the northwest
and 30 weak in the east. In this town
nearly all the substantial business men
are for Sherman. while the young men
are usually for Blaine. In the conven.
ton the Grant men united with the
Blaine men, believing that the way to
advance the prospects Of the ex-Presi-
dent il to push Sherman out of the
race. 4 motion was made that
no one should be elected dele
gate unless he would promise 10
support the Chicago nominee. The
motion wa, discussed and developed
strong anti. Grant feeling. and was then
voted down. Two persons were candi.
dotes for delegates who have vowed they
will not support Grant There are many
anti.Grant Republicans here, and the
number seems daily increasing. The
Republicans generally believe he cannot
be elected.
A petition was circulated last week
asking the Legislature 20 pass an act
that this township be allowed TO vote on
the proposition to levy tax OF hfty
thousand dollars to assist In building
the new railroad. Other townships
made like petitions, and Mr.. \, Il. Piper
was chosen 10 take them to Columbus
that he might secure the passage oil the
bills before adjournment, but the hon
orable body adjourned Saturday morn.
