ssPIay Glenfruin!o

When Rob Roy, "the Red McGregor," came into the
presence of his enemies he ordered his piper to play
1.-The Battle of Glenfruin," note of warning and
defiance. This habit became widely known that
whenever his friends enemies heard "Glenfruin''
they knew that there was fun ahead. When Roy Reed
got ready for battle on last Saturday, however, he
failed to send his piper ahead to warn the enemy.
The enemy consisted of one Edgar Meacham, and the
affair probably the result of bad feeling engen-
dered by recent transactions before the Courts The
facts as given by an eye witness theses Meacham
was coming across the street toward where Reed
standing, when Reed went up and struck him with
his fist knocking him down. after which he stamped
upon him. when the parties were separated. This is
the story of the afray. We heard the other side
of the story that Meacham guilty of such demon
stratons around Reed to convince him that Meach-
am intended to provoke and insult him, and that
Reed feeling that the young man had greatly wronged
him. and the law had failed to give him justice,
wisely took the law into his own hands. We had
hoped that these men had quit holding spite at each
other. 1t was unfortunate affair, it other
hearts to ache besides that of the boy who got the
''thrashing" 1t would have been well for Roy If
he hadn't whipped Ed, and it would have been good
deal better for Ed. to have kept out of Roys way.

On Monday morning A. w. Long in
vited us to take ride over to the Gene
terry, to see some monuments and grave
stones recently put up by him. Mrs.
Long, and Miss Emma, their daughter
and Mrs. Isaac Long were with us. AT
the gate we met Davidson Rice, the grave
digger, who politely unlocked the gate
and permitted US to drive in. The first
monument we looked at was one recently
put up at the grave of Alanson Robbins
This monument is the largest, finest and
most costly in the Cemetery. 1t is made
of New Hampshire granite, is of light
color, is % feet high, weighs about 12
tons, and the regular price is $1,000. One
piece, just above the base, weighs five
finish it.
There is very great variety of stones
and monuments, of all sizes and prices in
this cemetery, costing from $5 up to
$1,000. Some are very beautiful, while
plain and simple.
1t would pay any one desiring monu-
ment or grave-stone, to go to the Gene
terry and make selection. We noticed
four very beautiful grave-stones on lot
belonging to family named Davis. The
first two were made in Pittsburg, but the
other two, made by Mr.. Long, are finer
job than the other two.
1t is a settled fact that Long can get up
as fine work as can be had any place in
the United States.

WE have received a postal card from
Bachelor & Doris, who say they are
coming to Jackson soon. J. r. Davis,
General Agent, who sent the card, says
he will call soon and advertise Most of
the shows that have visited our town this
summer, have not advertised, which is
the best evidence that they are one-horse
concerns. This show is said to be one of
the largest and best ever exhibited. 1t
will not permit peanut and candy ped
ding, and those low accompaniments
which surround so many shows.
We have received copy of the El-
mira, New York Daily Advertiser, con-
tanning lengthy notice of this great
show, in which it receives the highest
praise, but we have not room to make
extracts from the article this week; we
may do so hereafter.

Ruggies and Cheap Talk.

see in the last issue of the Standard that Tom. De-
lay complains of the auctioneers who were selling
buggies the streets, putting the word in plural
form, duplicating one that misrepresented his
buggies, or the one might have been selling.
Now Tom., give fair count, and will have no 9TH
in return. While there engaged never mentioned
your name, neither did say anything about your
buggies-never mentioned leather tops nor $780, well
knowing that those second hand buggies, and
of the best quality at that paid attention to
what my employer said. told falsehood about
your buggies. 1 have nothing to do with what Mr..
Inman done, and do not wish to be misrepresented
in such way. But one of Inmans employers said
that he selling these bugges for less money than
they could be bought for out of the shop Now this
looked to though he expected man to sell at
auction buggy after it had been year SO for
just much 1t first cost Strange indeed, but such
is life. AS for cheap talk, they all charge too
lively, therefore get but little to do.

THERE was one rather strange proceed
ing by which several persons were "taken
in" at the side show on Saturday. Parties
were conducted away back into the tent,
and asked to submit to a chronological
examination of their heads. In some
cases their hats were taken and hidden.
After the examination, they were asked
to fork over in amounts from one dollar
upwards. Many of them unthoughtedly
paid the chronological humbug, instead
of calling an officer as they should have
done

SHERIFF CHERINGTON went to Column
bus on Friday, with the six convicts SEN
fenced to the penitentary. T. w. Steele,
Charles Shaffer and Thomas Rider went
with the Sheriff as guards. Hatten acted
in very silly manner at the depot, in the
way he talked to his wife and children.
The Sheriff informs us that Hatton acted
badly while in jail, breaking furniture,
smashing everything that he could de-
stroy. Jim's chances of getting signers
to petition for pardon have been greatly
lessened by his foolish conduct.

THE MARKED BEECH!

Beneath the beech trees branches this pleasant
mer day,
sit and watch the wild birds that merrily hop and
play;
hear the water murmuring, where runs the little r
And the pheasant's rapid drumming upon the
neighboring hill;
hear the soft winds signing among the stately pines
hear Eolian music 1t swells in measured lines
1t seems the voice of angels sweetly falls around
Now floating from above the pines-now sweeping o'er
the ground.
1t seems as though some wondrous gft-some sudden
power of speech,
Has centered In the branches of the far outspreading
beech;
bold
Oflittle that round hearts entwined their
threads of gold.
Their names within the living bark, with sharpened
"jack-knifen made
Though absent from our circle now the hand that
drew the blade
Recall the merry rompng of their tireless little feet,
And to hear their voices in childish accents
sweet;
The old beech stands witness of of long ago
Upon its knarled and well-carved sides some names
but dimly show;
Only few fast-feeting years, and we have passed
away,
Then other eyes will read the names as we have read
to-day;
And other minds-while from the birds the beech
with warbling rings,
Will list to Heavens music, and think of Holy things

THE comet can now be seen all night!
AS soon as it gets dark, look for the
north star. Then directly between the
north star and the sun, and perhaps 40
degrees from the north star, you will see
the comet. Of course, the tail will point
directly towards the north star, as the
tail is always directly on the opposite
side from the sun. Being below the
north star, it's apparent motion during
the night will be downward and east
ward until midnight, and after that up
ward and eastward.

WE believe Jackson county presents
the only case on record thus far, where a
man severely pummeled his sick wife over
the head with the Bible because she re-
fused, on account of weakness, to read
the Scriptures to him. Perhaps the lady
ought to have read to him. For instance,
a few little gems like this, from Paul to
Timothy:
"For men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, bias
phemers, disobedient to parents, unthank-
full, unholy.
"Without natural affection, truce
breakers, false accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good"

HON. ANDREW Roy. State Inspector of
Mines, called last Friday and renewed
his subscription to the STANDARD. He
has been west this summer as far as Col
orado. He is much pleased with the
western country.
In speaking of tn completion of the
Dayton 6 Southeastern Railroad to Iron
ton, Mr.. Roy says it will be of vast i'm
portance to the coal interest of Jackson
county, as the Jackson coal will be taken
to the great furnaces at and about Iron
ton, to make pig iron.
We inquired of Mr.. Roy about the talk
of strikes among the miners in the Hook
ing Valley, and he informed us that he
does not apprehend any serious trouble.
He says that there is disposition to set
tie all matters of difference by arbitration,
or amicable agreement. A sliding scale
of prices, for the different seasons of the
year, may be agreed upon.

THE people of Jackson county are a
prudent, sensible people For many
years they have entrusted their public
affairs to the management of the Repub-
lican party, and the result is that Jackson
county is in the front rank of the coun-
ties of Ohio, in financial standing. Many
years ago, however, the people of Jackson
county entrusted their public affairs to
the management of the Democratic party
and they will probably never again try
such costly experiment.
When you hear Democrat talking
about Republican extravaganza or mis-
management, take him by the nose and
lead him up to the court house, and show
him the records. The record always
shuts Democrats mouth-it kills him
off, so to speak. Every man who gets
dollar from the county, under Republi-
can rule, must make showing of it upon
the public records, and the amount will
be carefully looked after at the end of the
year, and if he receives too much he will
be called on to fork over" There is no
possibility of any underhanded work, and
every dollar of the peoples money is hon
estly accounted for We may say right
here, that we are not aware of any Dem
ocrat ever refusing to take all the money
he could get from the county officers.
The affairs of the county are in safe
hands. The Republican record is as a
mountain of righteousness. The Demo
cratic record in this county is as ten thou
sand hills of cussedness. In view of
this state of things, the people will feel
much safer to have the affairs of the
county managed in the future as they are
in the present. Hence a large majority |
of them will vote the Republican ticket.
There is one thing we desire to call the
peoples attention to-the Republican
party always invites and challenges an
of it's record. The Demo-
cratic party is continually endeavoring to
destroy it's record, to cover up it's trail.

SHOWS and theatrical troupes have
been making Jackson an objective point
for many months past. This is done be-
cause our people are prosperous and pros

all the tinware they need, and for one or
more each for his very excellent pumps
