That is Just what the Governor tbougbt last

grown persons We're only charged SL5O and
boys SlOO. Being interested in this and
thinking we might hold a consultation with
one of our lady friends and embrace th-the
opportunity, We concluded to investigate the
matter. We found the Squire at his black
smith shop but he has not been able to work
at his trade for several months His custom
ers, however, need not suffer, as he has a good
hand in his shop TO do their work. His illness
did not disable him from forging several
chains, the last month, which make two hearts
beat as one which make one broomstck beat

alcohol as beverage, at the NJ Il. Church
lasJ Monday evening. lie had large and in
telllgent audience, notwithstanding the fact
llaJ tine lecture was only announced the eve
ming previous. His talk was Illustrated with
crayon sketches of persons distinguished i'm
the annals of crime, and as his lecture was
s manly 10 the young, the causes Of their be-
coming criminals We're told in an effective
manner. The Doctor spoke authoritatvely

5 high terms of the Doctors ability and earnest
ness,
We are on the eve Of great battle, in which
Highland county should come out victorious
Let not personalities divide us and hand vic
tory to other counties that are not as deserv-
D ing, nor have they better leaders. Either of
our men would fight the fight and be crowned

senator from Ohio. lie carried well the honor
s until death ended his career lie died i'm 1872
D from the effects Of a wound received in the
battle of Fort Erie i'm 1912. In the House of

Senate Of our State for more consecutive

{ 1t is always pleasing to read Of the trials and
4 perseverance of the early settlers of our town
ship. Among the pioneers of old Fairfield is
VIM. Hardy, known as "Uncle Billy The his
. ! tory of his life embraces that period in which
the township emerged from the wilderness in
p to it's present civilization. Mr.. Hardy was
=. born February 18th, 1902 in Ross county, this
Il ! side of ChllHcuthe I'm 1926 he moved to Lees
p burg and went into partnership with Ike Me
t. phers0n, for carding wool The factory was
3. situated at the lower end of Atwil Chances
r lot. Tie changed location iu 1882 to the Ma
s, than Ram property, and again five years later
% the site of the present factory Here his
Ia business continued to increase until Old Age,
Il that great destroyer, overlook him and he was
NJ forced to yield his charge TO his thrifty sons.
- They built the present factory IN 1850, and it is
", still i'm the care of one of them, Geo. IT, Hardy.
q Many Of the improvements now in the factory
4 are due to the energy and ingenuity Of the old
N gentleman His has been a life of hardship in
d building.up our country and we are reaping
d the benefits. He is now in poor health, but
still able to be about May his few remaining
years with MS be a season Of peace and quiet
l happiness Is our wish.
