An Error of Identity.

The Athens participants III the camp
meeting excursion to Jackson on Sun
day of last week, and especially the
members Of our local military COM
pany, who were included in the num-
ber, are Justly incensed at scurrilous
article in last weeks Jackson Stand
ard attributing to them rude and un,
seemly department on the streets OF
that retired corporation. We are fully
convinced that editor Mackley, Of the
STANDARD, aimed his TRADE at the
wrong party, as we know from per-
sonal knowledge the young gentleman
referred to to be incapable of uncivll
department.. It is, however, charac-
teristic failing for Brother Maekley
to 90 off half-cocked.-ATHENs MES
sENGER.
No, we didn't make any mistake as
to identity, as witness the fact that
one Of the young chaps sent for sever
al extra copies Of this paper, before it
was issued. These fellows were from
Athens. We do not wonder that the
good people Of that little crossroads
berg are ashamed Of them. We
didn't go off half-cocked-we didn't
handle them as roughly as they de-
served. Retired Corporation" is good,
coming from "town" where nothing
is to be seen on getting off the train,
but dilapidated hack, which, for a
quarter of dollar, will take passen-
ger on board and start back through
the brush and try to find the town.
If Bro. Jennings had seen these fell
lows in Jackson, he would not try to
excuse them. It is a healthy sign
that he denies that they are Athens
soldiers. They couldn't be soldiers.

cessful because Of the interest which
was aroused ein them among the peo-
pie. The incentive to take exhibits
to the Fairs should not be so much to
take premiums, as to offer for public
inspection such stock, agricultural
products, household articles, etc, as
possess superior merit. Let the far
mer who thinks he has an extra good
colt, or COW, or calf, bring it in, not
for the purpose Of getting a little pre-
MUM, but to show to the public the
measure of success he has had in the
selection and breeding Of good stock.
Let the farmer who has extra good
wheat or corn or other products, bring
them in that they may be compared
with the products of other farmers,
and invite Judgment upon their worth,
variety, and stir up healthy discussion.
He may not get a premium. but he
may benefit Others by his exhibit or
be rewarded himself with fresh and
good suggestions. Let the housewife
who makes good bread, bring in a sam
pie. and compare it with her neigh
boris. They can talk over the ques-
tons OF hop yeast, potato yeast, dfy
yeast, methods of rising, baking etc
If they get new and fresh ideas they
have secured a reward though it may
not be in dollars and cents. This is
the kind of competition which Fairs
are intended for-but the matter Of
little premium has superseded the
more practical and profitable idea. Il
our readers will well and duly consid
er this, they can, by general displ y
make the coming Fair magnificen
success, and profitable for all. Go tt
work then, gather in your good colts
and calves; prepare to make some goot
butter, bake some good bread, collec
samples of wheat and corn and vege
tables, and bring them to the FAN
not for premium, but to show wha
; you can do as compared with you
neiphbors.

Col. Moore.

Col. O. F. Moore, Democratic can
didate for Judge, on the Democratic
ticket, is so we'll known that it is
scarcely necessary to speak about him
The people of Jackson county re-
member him first as the Republican
candidate for Congress in the yea,
1854, when he was elected. He fol
lowed the Knownothings off when in
Congress, and in the year 1856 he was
the Knownothing candidate for Con-
gress, and by dividing the Republican
vote, defeated R. G. Hoffman, and
caused the election of Joe Miller
Democrat. In that campaign Mr.
Moore made ranting Knownothing
speech at this place, abusing all
foreign-born citizens, and especially
the Catholics.
As to Col. Moores qualifications
for the office, there can be no ques-
ton. He is a lawyer Of long practice.
and eminent ability; but, politically
he has ever been unstable.

THERE has been much talk about the
manner in which Vice-President Arthur
shall be called to perform the duties of
President. Some claim that an act of
Congress will be necessary, etc. This is
all nonsense. Let the President have
Secretary Blaine draw up paper, telling
the Vice-President that President Gar
field is unable to discharge the duties of
the Office and let President Garfield sign
the paper. Let the attending surgeons
certify that the paper is true, and then
the Vice-President WILL under the con-
stitutional provision in such ease made
and provided, be authorized, as well as
required, to perform the duties of Presi-
dent.
Now that is the way G. Graham does,
in his business transactions-act in a
common sense way. He lets the people
know that he makes and sells all kinds of
tinware sells stoves, CRATES, and many
other articles, puts on metallic roofing,
puts up spouting, lightning rods, and puts
in the very best of pumps.

would hasten to renew it, so as not to
loose the next issue. Enclosed you
will find $10O, for which please send
me your paper for the coming year.

fact [ would not do without it, as
through it [ can know what is going
on about "Old Jackson" my native
home.
How dear to my heart the days ofmy childhood"
| have just seen one person in the
last four months that | recollect of
ever seeing before, and that is my
brother Truman, and he is here at the
present time. We are playing in a
band together, band of % men. We
have standing engagement of play
ing at summer resort three times
each week.
[ was very much surprised to learn
in your last issue Of the death of my
highly esteemed friend and school
mate, Miss Della Savage. We know
not when our time shall come "The
young may die, and the old must die"
[ will endeavor at some future time
to write you letter concerning this
part of the country, that will interest
some of your readers. This is a good
place. | haye been working for some
time in the warehouse Of C. Aultman
& Co.'S shop. They manufacture the
Sweep Stakes grain separator, the
Buckeye mower & reaper, the Miller
Self-binder, and the Canton Monitor
Portable Engine, for grain separators,
saw mills, &c. The shop is shut down
now to invoice. | think [ will get to
work in about two weeks, and then |
will have steady job at good wages

men. Some months they pay out as
high as $4,000 for labor.

THE weather continues hot and dry.
There has been no rain here for a long
time, and everything in the vegetable
line is drying up. Water, both for stock
and family use, is becoming very scarce.
We learn that many of the furnaces in
Scioto and Lawrence counties, and some
in this county, are stopping for want of
water The drouth is universal, and in
parts of New Y ork and Pennsylvania it
is even worse than in the Western States.
Corn will be almost total failure, and
as nearly all the corn is made into
whisky, or is made into starch, to be con-
verted into glucose, and then into beer,
what will the guzzler do? We can tell
him. Go to the great store of Brooklns,
Hunsinger & Co., and spend your liquor
money for something to eat and wear.
That is what the sober, industrious man
is doing, and he fears no evil from the
dry weather.

SPEAKING Of the brutal language OF
Bookwalter about Garfield, Bro. Leeds,
of the Brown County News, says:
"And, if Republicans see fit to in
wade the portals of the sick room. they
cannot blame Democrats If they should
follow them even there"
Yes, you Democratic Editors who
published the Morey forgery. would
like very much to engage even IN
Safeguarding the dying President, If
you thought it would solidify the
Democracy.

Garfield.

When President Garfield was shot
the belief was universal that he was
in good health that he had led reg
ular temperate life-that his blood
and system generally were in the very
best condition to resist the effects OF
the wound. Now it is said, and not
denied, that he was in the very worst
condition. He had been seriously
troubled with dyspepsia or indlges-
ton ever since the war; that he has
been afflicted with hemorrhoids, OF
piles; that he has had surgical
operation performed for fistula; that
he has been an invetate smoker, using
the very strongest cigars, and that ne
has been known to smoke before stop
ping, two of this class or kind OF
cigars.
If these reports are true, it is nc
wonder that his blood seems to be
rotten, and that after two months Of
work, day and night, the surgeons
cannot get him on the road towards
getting well.

WE clip the following from the Troy,
N. Y. Times: Letters pour in daily,
sometimes by dozens, scores, and hun
dreds, to DR.. David Kennedy, of Rondout,
N. Y, in grateful acknowledgment OF
the great benefits received from his 'Fa-
vorite Remedy And they Illustrate the
power of the medicine in some new, and,
perhaps, hitherto untested phase of oper-
alton. But it is when sufferer comes
miles to tell the story Of his deliverance
in person, to grasp the doctor by the hand
and greet him as true and valued friend,
and the interest in his case deepens and
multiplies."

Waits from the Political Whirlpool

A REPUBLICAN victory is only second to new
Railroad in raising the price Of real estate.
THE Democrats are the best fellows in the world
to keep out of office.
SONG of the Democratic politicians ''Honors for
Bookwalter and the bar'l for us !"
''TIME makes all things event. except the Demo-
cratic voten That cannot be brought up even with
the Republicans at all.
THE Greenback party held a mass meeting' at the
State House, in Columbus on last Thursday. He lis
tened attentively to the speaking
THE editor of the Quincy, ILL.,, Herald, stated, edi
torialy his opinion that Guiteau is just as honora
BILE the he shot," That editor belongs to the
class Of dirty dogs who published the forged Morey
Letter last year.
THIS is the time of year when every decent Demo-
crat has to take his medicine-when young buck
whom he would under no circumstances recognize as
an equal, comes along and tells him how he should
vote.
INTELLIGENT Democrats have been told by the
chaps who to lead them, that each year would
bring Democratic victory They are being told the
this year. 1t has been lie from the beginning,
and will be SO to the end.
WE like the manner in which Bro. Cliff. Nichols OF
the Springfield Republic, sails into this fraudulent
Bookwalter business. Nichols is bound to keep the
world undeceived with regard to springelds Reform
statesman.
DISPATCHES from Russia say the man who has
been passing himself for Hartman, in this country,
is fraud Then he'd better be getting out of here or
the Democrats will have him nominated for Presi-
dent.
SOME of the local Democratic frauds claim that the
Democrats didn't do any devilment at the Xenia
Home, because Hon. Reese Richards and wife spent
night there. Well, II a Democrat should steal Mr..
Richards horse would the fact that Mr.. R. asleep
In his house, be sufficient to establish albi in the
In the of the Democrat who took the horse from
stable?
THE Springfield Sunday NeDs has made the discov-
cry that MIR. Bookwalter is, and always has been Ia
boring man. We should not be surprised to see Dem
ocratic papers parading portraits of Mr.. b. going
around TO MS big factory at O'Clock in the morning
with dinner bucket upon his arm. EMPLOYEES in
factories know how much proprietors labor without
any information from Bookwalter's Bureau.
UNDER the caption "Golden Words the Bureau
publishes in all the little Democratic paper the state
ment that Bookwalter actually told his men he
wouldn't turn them off if they voted for Garfield At
the same time he had denounced Garfield as bribe-
taker and scoundre generally, else he has ncor
rectly reported. Which do the Democrats regard as
the golden words?'

J. D. GILLIAN, Secretary of the
Jackson County Agricultural Society,
brought us large colored poster for
the coming Fair. It is neatly printed
but the photography is not strictly in
accordance with the rules laid down
by Webster. For instance, the word
Society is spelled Society. 1t was
printed at Cleveland.
The Circleville Union has an article
about the Fair in Pickaway county
which we adopt, and which should be
needed by all the people in Jackson
county:
HOW TO MAKE OUR COUNTY FAIR A
SUCCESS.
Our County Fair is now but a short
way off, and every one should be max

Guiteau.

UuIttdus
Some time ago we said that Guiteau
would never be punished-that he IS
on the road to political promotion,
etc. Some of our exchanges thought
that was wild and unreasonable
opinion. Let US see. jeff. Davis,
leader Of million of traitors, caused
hundreds of thousands of deaths by
violence. There was a great talk OF
hanging him on sour apple tree, or
words TO that effect. He was cap
tured and put in prison. Horace
Greeley went on his bail bond, and he
was set free. That was nearly six
teen wears ago. and Jeff. Davis has
never yet been punished. That Is not
all. For bailing the arch-traitor out
Of prison Horace Greeley was noml-
mated for President by the traitors,
against the leading Union General,
and now the papers and prominent
! men who supported the traitors can
didate, are the ruling elements In the
Republican party. Witness the N.
Y. Tribune, Cincinnati Commercial,
Carl Schurz. the great New York
Greeleyite Robertson, for whose pro-
motion to the greatest office in the
gift of the Government such life
long Republicans as Roscoe Conkling
must be crucifed politically, and the
Republican party in the great State
Of New York destroyed.
But to return to Guiteau. When
he shot President Garfield he handed
the officer who arrested him letter
to Gen. Sherman. In this letter he
demanded Of Gen. Sherman that he
send troops to the Jail to protect him
Some two weeks ago, when every
body supposed that the President was
dying from the wound inflicted by
the cowardly assassin who sneaked ul
and shot him in the back, there were
mutterings about hanging the muir
derer. Now Gen. Sherman was
promptly on hand, in response to the
demand Of the murderer. He gave
out that he had ample force Of troops
ready to defend his friend the assas
sin. He had batteries of artillery
and four Gatling guns, each one o.
which would do as much execution a
a regiment of men, and that any on
who attempted to harm hair Of dea
Guiteau's head would be shot down
as Guiteau had shot down the unsus
pecting President.
Before this shall have been printed
President Garfield will probably b.
carried out Of the White House. W.
think he will never return alive
Guiteau may, then, be tried for mur
der. He will be confined in an asy
lum for lunatics. Then the doctor
will certify that he is now in hi
right mind, and he will be turned out
We have ever been in favor of Law
and order, and opposed to mobs; bu
when there is no law to protect hu
man life, and from the President o
the United States to the humbles
citizen any one can be shot down
without fear Of the law, self preserva
tion demands that the people tax
law and justice into their own hands
When the President shall hav
been taken out of Washington City
whether alive or dead, we hope mel
enough to hang Guiteau will be OF
hand, and strike down all opposition
whether in it come as Gen. Sherman
and the U. S. army, or otherwise.

IT will be seen by the Half-Y early
Statement which we publish this week,
that Jackson county has nearly nineteen
thousand dollars surplus funds in the
county treasury. The county does not
owe cent. This is splendid showing
for the Republican party.
