The river bottoms ABOVE and below this
city present an animated and interesting
picture lust now. the weeds and brush
making famous bonfres; women, girls and
children at work cleaning up the garden
patches, while the men and boys are busily
engaged in ploughing and planting. The
ground has not beck i'll such good condition
for early operations in years. and all the
market gardeners are taking advantage OF
the warm weather to get in their work:
Nearly all the small fruit trees are in full
bloom, and unless an unlocked for frost
comes along this will be notable year IN

The venerable Daniel Peck, who was ad-

The mother of the child who was left at
John Morrison's house out the c. o. road
turns out to be Guernsey county woman,
and it is likely that that county will be
asked TO take charge of the founding which
is now in our Childrens' Home.
Thieves effected an entrance to the mill
of Stewart & Ward early yesterday morn
ing, and attempted to blow open the safe.
The attempt was unsuccessful and they
only succeeded in singing the books, &c,

about S27 in money was inside, and in the
event of success the burglary would not
have been remuneratiye,
Messrs. w. X. Elson, Manager, and NJ.
Sheets, Secretary, OF the Belmont GLASS
Works have both rendered their resigna-
tons, to take effect July lst. We under
stand that both these gentlemen have con-
nected themselves with the new firm, which
proposes to build a glass factory in Mar
tins Ferry. 1t is believed that Mr.. Charles
Gill will fill the place vacated by Mr..
Sheets, and the Board will meet soon TO
consider the matter OF successor to Mr..
ElSOn.
1t is said that number of Bellaireans
will build glass factory at Martins Ferry.
The Pond liquor bill is agitating the Bel
laire saloonistS, and yesterday REGISTER
reporter went around among some OF the
principal ones and got an expression Of
opinion, which we give rs follows:
August Schramm-l think that the fight
will be made in the larger cities. All the
or two and these will sell as usual, and of
course become amcnablc to the law. A
test will then be made which will settle the
whole thing. think in Bellairc we had
better shut up and watch the progress of
the contest in question.
Louis Long, Jr.-This law, in my opin-
ion, is worse and goes farther than any
that has yet been passed. 1t will close
many of us up; think probably all but
thipE n riI1 StanH
however. It will be repealed. The people
are taking this thing u a thrust at them
selves and demand lis repeal rs well as the
SalOnSts.
VIM. Shindewolf--It takes our money
and allows us nothing to do. We have to
pay to sell and then can't sell. Nice law
that
Councilman John Zich--It is tax with
out privilege and without rights. II they
will give us license law, even II it may
he burdon>om, it will be all right. This
law is n. &. like to see good order and
good laws, but this goes too far 1t gives
us no loopholc it knocks us in the head.
Mr.. Mauc--I think it will shut us up
by the first of June.
Mr. WINNER, at Union street and Bridge
corner-I don't think there will be many
saloons left in Bellairc if this law goes
into effect. They are arranging in Column
DuS, SlntlHldll, NleNeluIlu ihIS'
cities to contest the point, and will con-
tribute my share toward such contest.
We are hardly able here TO do
much as 4 local organization. but
will assist the test in other places. This
test will be made at once and we will soon
know what to expect There is one thing
already demonstrated by the passage Of the
bill and that is this: the German element
in this State is large enough and respecta-
BILE enough to show that il will contest for
its rights, and the recent vote in the State
of Ohio shows that the Germans are not TO
be snubbed in this way.
Will Brady at the Globe House.-lt is I'M
constitutional. 1t won't stand test. The
Supreme Court will settle it, Another
thing. 1t will, if it stands, give these con-
stitutional drunkards chance to rob us.
1t is worse in this particular than the Adair
law. Lots of women come in here and
warn us not to give their husbands drink
and half the time we dOn'tknOw who their
husbands are. If if goes into effect it would
literally rob us.
Turnbull-It is mighty rough, but think
the Supreme Court will overthrow it.
Sam Offerd, bar keeper at Lillys-lt
taxes us without exempting us from ether
penalties. If il didn't NEEDLE with ale and
beer we wouldn't kick. Why If we attempt
to keep they will make it so improbable
for us that we will have to shut up shop.
They will make il hot forls by continually
prosecuting lis. 1t has done one thing for
us, however; it has effectuaily ,cured our
Republicanism. Several saloonists that |
