Public Whipping.

There is need for a new law. Ger
tain offenses against persons and de-
cency should be punished by public
lashings at whipping post, on the
public square.
Petit larceny.
Drunkenness on the streets.
Indecent exposure of person to in
suit people.
Street robberies.
Advantage gambling.
Cruelty to persons or to animals
Should all be punished by public
whipping. In London foot-pads paid
no attention to law till a whipping
post was erected for them, and after a
few were whipped the business stop
ped almost suddenly. Loaferish Of
Tenders against the law should never
be kept an hour in idleness, except
when it was matter of necessity
that they sleep. =, Instead of being
crowded into jails to rot, tester and
breed plans for crime they should be
severely whipped, and turned loose to
have the dose doubled with each repe-
tition of an offense. Jails and prisons
are lighthouses from which crime
grows spontaneously.-THe Great
Vest.

The Crops.


The Ohio State Board of Agriculture
have issued their report for August.
and we have received copy. From
it we learn that the wheat crop is about
39.O1OO57 bushels, while the crop for
1880 was 52.5OO.OOO bushels; so the
crop this year is only p per cent of
what it was last year.
The whole number Of acres in wheat
this year was 2,s56,6O9, and the aver
age number of bushels per acre was
1873. The largest yield per acre was
in Cuyahoga county, 21.6 bushels, and
the smallest was in Lawrence county,
Al bushels, while Lorain comes next,
with only Bushels, then Gallia, 5,5,
then Jackson, with 6, Vinton 6, &c.
The corn crop last year was 100000
this year estimated at 74,000,OO0, OF
only 70 per cent Of last year. The
oats crop last year was 21,OO0,OOO
this year 22,5OO,OOo, or 1o7 per cent
Of last year.

Camnaign Onened.

Last week we learned that Book
walters nincompoop bureau at Col
umbus had given directions to send
out Democratic papers to every body,
at IA mere nominal price. Not to be
beaten at such game, we sent out the
following circular on last Friday:
ONLY 10 CENTS,
The jackson STANDARD will be sent
to subscribers until after the election
for only ten cents. cash in advance, or
credit at any furnace in Jackson
County
Any person sending me two dollars
at one time, may send % names, and

for the campaign.
The best paper ever offered for the
money. Any person to whom | send
this circular i'll an envelope, and who
will put the circular up in conspic-
uous place, can order an extra copy OF
the paper for the campaign.
DAVIS MACKLEY.
The circular was sent to Postmas-
ters and furnace clerks in this county
and on Monday the responses begar
to come in, by way of large number:
of subscribers.
We print a large number of extra
copies this week, 49,, will supply the
paper for this week as long as the,

Another Big Show.

See large advertisement of Cooper &
Jackson's show, in the STANDARD this
week. From the posters upon the bull
letin boards in our town, and from the
small posters distributed over town, and
from notices in the papers where this
show has exhibited, we gather that it is
one of the largest greatest and best shows
now travelling
The people of Jackson county always
literally patronize good show, and we
look for the people to be out in force on
next Tuesday.
The last show that was here was fully
as good as was advertised and those who
came to see it were not disappointed
fact they were well pleased. Now, from
all we can learn about it, the show COM
ing next Tuesday will, in many respects,
be more interesting than the other.
We have an idea that we can judge
pretty well as to the character of a show
by the kind of agents who go in advance
judging the new show by this criterion,
it will be fairly and honestly conducted.
| Be sure to come and see the big show
next Tuesday.

MAcKLEY, Of the Jackson Standard,
displays wonderful amount Of con-
sistency in his paper last week by first
denouncing the dirty, cowardly, heath
enish plan Of the Republican press to
manufacture political capital for Fos-
ter by blubbering about the poor,
wounded President, and then turns
right around and in the very next col
umn and says: Foster represents
Garfield and Bookwalter represents
Guiteau. .''-Wauerly Watchmam.
Dear Bro. Jones, don't let yourself
out any more on that subject. We
want to think you truthful Demo
cratic editor-if such thing is posi-
ble-and we cannot think it when
you lie, deliberately, as in the above
quotation. The language you g We as
ours was quoted from the N. Y. Iri6-
une, and it was so stated at the time.
In this connection we will say that
we have frequently expressed our dis
appreciation of the Tribune's course.
And, dear Bro. Jones, you knew you
were lying in the above paragraph.
That is what grieves us.

ANDREW JOYCE, Of Kansas, writing
to renew his subscription to the
STANDARD says:
I'm Miami county, Kansas, wheat
badly damaged by chinch bugs, oats
grass and flax good, corn badly injured
by dry weather and chinch bugs
Early planting will make about 81
bushels per acre, while late planting
will make scarcely any corn. Early
potatoes good. Apples and peaches
scarce. Small fruits plenty, except
blackberries. The weather still re-
mains dry, and the corn is almost dry
enough to cut and stack"

In addition to having Bowen
arrested for criminal libel, Hon. FL. c.
Jones has brought civil suit against
him for libel, putting his damage at
$4,000.
In speaking Of the arrest Of Bowen
the Athens Republican says:
"This time it is J. w. Bowen, of the
Macarthur Enquirer, who has been ar
rested for criminal libel, and the
injured party is II. c. Jones. The best
way to get rid Of Bowen is to tar and
feather and run him up and down
through the streets Of Macarthur on q
rail. He seems to be under the i'm
preston that he owns that town, OF
at least wants to run it as he pleases

1t was said some time ago that
Bookwalter had established kind OF
nincompoop bureau at Columbus,
where editorials were to be furnished
to the brainless little Democratic
papers. Let any one take up fifty
Democratic county papers, and he will
see two or three editorials the same in
all of them, each week. These MIN
compoop bureau editorials are exceed
ingly weak and silly.

Provisions are going to be exceeding
ly scarce next winter. The continued
dry weather will cause great scarcity of
fruit of all kinds. Every family should
put up all the fruit, tomatoes, corn, &C.,
possible. No better cans have ever been
invented than the common tin can.
You can find all kinds of tinware at
