We are pleased to put before Il

We are pleased to put before the
voters of Wood county the An
nouncement of Mr.. S. T. Stapleton,
as a candidate for the office of Coun-
ty Supt. of Schools; and especially
are we pleased with the disposition
prevailing with good citizens of all
parties, to let the people choose that
important officer, without the inter
position of any party trammels.
Mr.. Stapleton needs no recommen-
datlon from any source, as he is
well known throughout the county
as a gentleman of worth and stand
ing, and especially are his qualif-
cations for the office of Superinten-
dent familiar to all the friends of
the schools in the county-he hav-
ing long and faithfully served the
county in that position before.

why it Pays.

member of one of our business
arms having an advertisement
= the FREEMAN for the two or
three previous issues, in conversa-
ton recently, explaining why he
odvertised in the FREEMAN, said :
THAT advertisement has already
brought us in Forty Dollars"
In this connection we simply de-
sire to call the attention of our bu-
siness men to some reasons why il
pays to advertise in the FREEMAN.
1t pays. because your adj
vprtisement is noticed and read by
everybody that gets hold of the pa
ner The FREEMAN being new and
independent, everybody wants to
see all there is in it.
1t pays, because your advertise
ment is grouped with none but
cards of reliable business men and
firms, thus commencing your own
business as reliable.
1t pays. because the FREEMAN
comes to it's readers with clean,
smiling face, inviting them to en-
.iovment in every column and cor
ner of its eight pages. Its makeup
and countenance are in nowise
blotched and blurred and made re-
pulsive with cheap-John sensations,
lottery swindles, or patent medi-
cine cuts; and readers are not
obliged to worm their way through
thickets of doubtful and worthless
underbrush-to find the sound, de-
sirable stick they're looking for.
1t pays, because the FREEMAN
is read by the people that do the
most of the buying and selling in
the community.
1t pays to advertise in the
FREEMAN, because it always pays to
expend money wisely in advertis-
ing,

SLOW RAcE.-Bro. Dan and our
self used to have what we called
SLOW races" in hoeing corn when
We were boys. "Slow races" are more
congenial to juvenile constitutions
than "fast races" in hot weather.
If either buckled to it, and got
ahead, the other would remind him
ofthe character of the race, and in
SYST that hurrying didn't count.
This was plainly the kind of a
race the liquor men all understood
was on, when they cried out license
and enforcement of law, and
now that Prosecuting Attorney
McCluer, the Court, and the
Council and Captain Jim with his
squad ARE pulling ahead a little, they
Gala halt, declaring it was a "slow
race, they meant and protest
against hurrying.

home in Wilkesville, o., Mrs c. F. Maris, in
the Goth year Of her age.
When clouds of sorrow suddenly
o'ershadow us, how burst through
the heavy gloom from the this side,
flashes of happy membranes OF
bright sunny spots in the past
Fig hit years ago laughing, rollick-
ing quartette, two couples from Ma
rietta, O., visited for days our seclu-
ded cottage home on the creek bank
in Tyler county. Our lady visitors
were Misses Laura Dana and Emma
Mccormick, together with Miss
Leila McCally, of st. Marys, all
true and noble-hearted Christian
girls, full of health and youthful
life and lofty purposes. Their COM
panions and friends were T. G. and
Jerry D. Johnson, then college stu
dents. There was fishing and play
ing croquet in the Locust Grove,
and strolling in the woods; and
then there was singing. They were
all rich IN voices ana napPy anu
free of heart and soul toinspire har-
monious song. >,
All parties felt that we were all
the better for the visit, and it was a
sort of sacred sadness we felt at ITS
ending. Where are the quartette ?
Two of them we saw no more, Misses
Dana and Mccormick. The former
married Mr.. Maris in 1878, and died
as above stated; the latter married
and resides in Marietta. Miss
McCally also married and resides
at West Union. Jerry's health
falling, he went South for relief four
wears ago and died in Danyllle, va
The other brother is preaching the
Gospel at Charleston.
While we muse in sadness IN TINS
sorrow and gloom, through rift IN
the cloud, from the Over-There SIDE,
CLEANS bright assurance, telling
Us that we and ours, shall again
stroll and sing with all that happy
COMPANY on the banks Of the River.

The City Council is to be highly
commended for the exacting condi-
tions attached to the granting of
licenses, and they will find the
temperance people right at their
elbows in any and every advance
step toward lessening the unlawful
sales of liquors, however much they
may insist that the theory and the
policy of the Council, in attempting
to regulate instead of prohibiting the
traffic, is all wrong. Let the con-
ditions be enforced against the first
infraction of the compact, then it
will look like business.
