Geo. n. Chapman's Death.

Since our last issue George S. Chap
man, a well known and highly esteem
ed citizen of McMinnville, after an i'll
ness of five weeks, died May 7th, 1881,
of lung disease.
MIR. Chapman was a native, of In
diana, and came to this place in 1870,
and at once became identified with our
people, and became one of them in all
his relations, recognizing the important
fact that in order to become such he
must be acilliag to become one of them
by laying aside all preconceived notions
that would hinder the consummation OF
his desire. This heightened liberality
of sentiment which everywhere recog.
nizes its equals, together with strict in.
tegrity, business habits and courteous
demeanor, soon won for him the uni
versal respect and esteem of our com
munity, which he retained with in
creased vigor to the day of his death
and will still be perpetuated in the
cherished memory of his manly quail
ties of both head and heart.
In September, 1871, Mr.. Chapman
Joined the G. ?. Church in this place
then under the ministry of DR.. w. D
Chaddick. In June, 1873, he wa
married to Miss Flora Cain, of Nc
Minnville, whom he now leaves will
two bright sprightly children to mourn
his untimely death.
Funeral services were conducted a
the G. P. church by DR.. Dewitt las
Sunday at 4 o'clock p. M, and he wa
buried in the new cemetery by tn
Knights of Honor, of which order h
was an exemplary member.
The bereaved family have the col
dial sympathy of our community i
this their sad loss.

The County Clerk to large degree
is the executive officer of the Board
of Supervisors and as such performs
certain duties when directed by pre-.
vious vote of the Board. Among
these duties the statute provides that
the County Clerk shall when authoriz-
ed and directed by the Board, cause
to be published notice Of election to1
change Of county seat. It does not
need very acute understanding to see
that for the County Clerk to publish
such notice before the Board have
directed him in the premises would
be an assumption of power which
would doubtless lead him into a laba-
rynth of difficulties and result in his
ultimate removal. And yet, sad to
say, County Clerk Wood was APP
preached a few days since by a
man whose gray hairs indicate a
maturity of years and UNDERSTANDING,
and asked to do just this very thing,
Was it a trap set for Wood to put his
foot in? Was it the act of friend
or the trick of cunning enemy? We
know not but we do know that the
uncalled for haste the blind mad raw
ings and clutchings after the slip,
was taken to indicate most clearly that
the trap "shut too at a point where
not intended. Some birds are said to
have been caught by chaff but T. J
Wood, is not of that kind. Some
cats may haul chestnuts from the fire
with burnt paws for monkeys to eat,
but our present County Clerk is moi
noted for folly of this kind.

In another column we publish a
communication sent rs by a temper
ance brother giving some of the
reasons why the temperance peo-
pie place ticket in the
fel3. We are members of temperance
societies and we are also members of
the Republican party, and our readers
will undoubtedly expect Us to give
them our opinion of the question as
we understand it, and the duties of a
Republican voter, In the first place
we must admit the Republican party
have not recognized the temperance
people sufficiently, in not permitting
then the privilege of placing before
the voters of this state this question:
'sAre you in favor of prohibitory
amendment to our constitution; pro
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
Intoxicating liquors as beverage?
This privilege has been denied them
by the Republican party. They now
hope by a state ticket to receive
sufficient votes to hold the balance
of power, between the old parties.
thereby forcing a recognition, of their
rights by the present parties. We
believe the surer way for the tenn
perance people to reach prohibition
is to see that the representatives to
our Legislature are all temperance men.
Work and see that we get men that
are true to their cause, as temperance
men, and in this way the day would
not be far distant when we would not
only have the privilege Of voting on
the above question, but we would
have temperance legislature, to
support it. On the other hand we
believe that every temperance voter
should vote the Republican ticket
this fall, and see to it that he votes
for temperance men for representatives
This way is the only and true way
to reach the desired end
AS there is nothing to hope for at
the hands of the Democratic party it
would be suicidal in the extreme to
defeat the Republican ticket only to
crafty a certain few who are at best
making a serious error. What good
can be derived by defeating the repub-
lican candidate for Governor is more
than we can tell. The entire Repub-
lean ticket is worthy of the support
of every temperance man and we
believe will receive the crater number
of the temperance vote. 1t is true
the temperance people have grounds
for complaint but what good can be
derived by voting against the Republi-
cans in favor of the Democrats is be.
yond any reason. We are confident
that the Republican ticket will be
