During the past fifteen years the
editors of Chillicothe have sneered at
every thing like temperance and NOR
ality, and with blackguard abuse at
tackled every one who differed with
them. Most Of the citizens of the
place have taken the same course. No
one could fail to see what the harvest
would be. The 10Th chapter Of Gen
esis more fully describes Chillicothe
than any thing we could write.
Over year ago there was spas
modic effort at reform, and a commit
tee of 101 was appointed to do some
thing, but nothing was done. Last
week there was another meeting, at
which Gen. Hurst was nominated for
Mayor. But it will amount to moth

The United States Senate appears

The United States Senate appears
to be at stand still, over the election
of officers. The parties are equally
divided, and Vice President Arthur
decides each vote, thus giving the Re-
publicans control, but the Democrats
can prevent action by what is known
as flibustering.

OH WELL!!
JOHN II. LONG.

''In twenty years they all came back
In twenty years or more
And found the incest goods in town
At the Rip Van Winkle store.
For although John" has been away
For years almost score,
HE has not been asleep" they say
When looking through his store.
His CLOTHING and his BOOTS and
SHOES,
His HARDWARE e. ! RN and QUEENS
His DRY GOODS, and his GROCE-
RIES,
Are all sold on-the-sQUARE.
His CHRISTMAS TOYS for girls
and boys
Are pretty as can be:
His RAISINS, FIGS, and CANDIES
too
Are nice as you will see.
His twenty years upon the farm
Have left impressions true,
He now knows Just how farmers feel;
And with this thought in view,
He pays the highest market price
For farm PRODUCE; although
He sells no cheaper goods for cash
Than for Produce, you know.
Then friends of twenty years or more;
And dear friends of to-day
Come see the Rip Van Winkle stores.
And do not go away
Till you have asked for what you want.
You may not see it near,
But ask the clerks: there's many rooms
And many boxes here.
And if you do not wish to buy
Come in before you go:
There are two stoves to keep you
warm.
And John can Talk you know.
When you seek this store of J. L.
Longs
You may find it without fail
IN the old Sternberger Block
Just opposite the ssJAIL.'s
