LUTHER NJ. SAGE, fourth son Of c. r. Sage, de-
ceased, was born in Huntington o., May 1897.
Died at his home in Junction City, Kansas, June
. aged IS years. 8
The subject of this notice spent his childhood
years in huntington At the age of 21 entered
Granville College, now Dennison University. AT
the close Of the third year impaired health compel
ed him to abandon his chosen profession and an
ticipated plans. For few years he occupied his
time in travelling, occasionally teaching when his
health would permit. In the latter profession he
successful and in it took delight. Subsequent
ly returning to Huntington he married Mary NJ. the
daughter Of Rev. NJ. w. Alfred, who mourns the
loss OF an aectionate husband Having lived in
eral OF the townships of Lorain County, was quite
extensively known as a man of quiet yet industri-
ous habits, never feigning that he was not. His
calm Judgement and rich experience backed up by
integrity Of character gave him the confidence OF
any community. In early life he embraced Christ
and united with the Baptist Church in Huntington
of which he was an honored member as long as he
remained In the community. His political as well
as his religious convictions were not spasmodic,
but formed from mature investigation; woald not
encroach upon or under value the opinions OF
others, yet when assailed could give good reason
for the hope within and would earnestly contend
for the faith delivered unto him. Esteemed light
ly any profession that not demonstrated by q
life Of consistency. His death was the result OF
injuries received by a runaway team nearly two
years previous.
His sickness was protracted and painful yet
borne with patience and resignation AS his end
drew near he watched the rowing Of the Angel
boatman expressing wish to be gathered home
to the silent shore" He was not unmindful OF the
associations OF his childhood and the dear ones Of
his native town. To a brother beloved his mes
sage this: "Brother, at even tide all is light"
Thus ends the the career of one, who, when life's
ftfu dream is over, wraps the drapery ofhis couch
about him and lies down to pleasant dreams S.

Once more Spencer is cursed with that
apparently necessary evil which Is such an
ornament TO every town-a saloon. Mr..
M. Fl. Huffman, proprietor Of the Union
Hotel, is the man who takes his thirsty
patrons into the cellar and rakes in the
cash for the drinks. Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty" Spencer was so
town Of Troy, the last of the stalwarts,
loaded up his beer-kegs and left for green
pastures. She has been resting peacefully
in fancied security during the interim, but
the saloon wave has struck her again, and
this time harder than ever. Sunday even
ing, June 25th, a temperance organization
was effected and committee of prominent
men appointed to visit Mr.. Huffman and
induce him, if possible, to discontinue the
sale of intoxicating drinks. They failed
to accomplish their purpose, Mr.. Hoffman
being rs obstinate as that historic animal
which is so handy with its heels when dis
turbed in the rear. He said he would sell
liquor as long as he kept hotel, for he
could not make both ends meet If he did
not. 1t seems that a majority of his Gus
| toners relish the drinks better than the
real necessaries of life.
Now, in our opinion, If a man cannot
make a business pay without selling liquor
| in connection, he had better close up. BY
so doing he win preserve his selfrespect
and that Of his fellow-citizens. There GER
tainly must be lamentable lack of prin-
| ciple in the man who deals out death and
| damnation to his fellow-men. "Woe unto
him who putteth the bottle to his neigh
bor's lips. 1t would be better for him that
a milestone were hanged about his neck
and that he were drowned in the depths of
! the sea" Mr.. Huffman says he means to
sell within the bounds of the law. We

He claims he has a legal right to sell

right, and he knows il. What q pity the
Pond Law was of none effect! We wish a
similar law, only fifty degrees stronger,
could be passed and clinched on the under
side of the Constitution of the State of
Ohio. This liquor traffic must be stopped !
Let men be put into our offices who are
| temperance to the back bone, and who will
give such legislation as will enable the
people to oust the saloon-keeper into the
street. j. w. K.

fellow made his escape.
Those who attended Talmagde's lecture

Hon Rollin A. Horr, of ofWellington, who
was nominated for Congress by the Re-
publicans of the Fourteenth District at
Ashland yesterday, was happy COM
promise, and it is certainly no disparage-
ment of the other candidates that Mr.
Horr is as safe and able man as could
have been nominated. He is self made
man, and has was won his successive ad-
vancements in life by honesty, industry
and native ability. AS a State Senator
and President pro tenn. of the Ohio Senate,
he has won a reputation as legislator and
received a training that will stand him in
good stead when a member of Congress.
He will be elected beyond a doubt, as his
district is strongly Republican. The Her
aid desires to congratulate the people of
the Fourteenth, as well as Mr.. Horr, on
the outcome of the Convention.-Cleye-
