At the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Harris at Mount Meridian,
Va, the bride refused to say eyes"
to the question whether she would
obey her husband. She said that she
saw no reason in such a promise, and
he concluded that no harm would be
done by emitting it, since he inten-
ded to "make her mind anyhow"
Two years elapsed, and few days
ago the unsettled question arose
again. George ordered his wife to
fry a CHECKED for dinner, and she in
sisted on roasting it. He brought in
a horsewhip, and declared that he
would fog her until she obeyed, She
shot and killed him,

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.
4 Partial List Of the Most Elegan
Buildings Going up In HALEY.


There have been many new build
ings erected in Haley during the past
two months, and, in fact, the work OF
building and improving both dwelling
and business houses has been so regu-
lar as to attract little attention. Dur
ing the season some Of the finest
buildings in town have been erected,
and from present appearances the
carpenters will all be busy until
spring. At present several houses
are in course OF nstruction--among
which are the following:
Mr.. Chase's new two-story resi-
dence, on Bullion street, now receiv-
ing the finishing touches.
A frame dwelling built for James
Nilsson, on Third Avenue, and now
about finished. The main building is
14x26 feet, with an L addition I4x14
feet. The rooms have large bay-win-
dows, and the plan is of orname ntal
design, with overhanging caves. Two
rooms are IA feet square, and third
is 12x14 feet, There is brick flue,
and chimney in fancy brick work.
This residence will be occupied by
Mr.. Nelson during the winter.
Mr.. Burkett is having new resi-
dence built on his two lots of ground
on the corner of Second avenue and
Croy streets. The lots are 25xl2O
feet, making the ground so by l2O
feet. The foundation for the house is
now being made. 1t will be "A by
IA feet, with an addition in the form
Of an l. IA feet square. Three rooms
will be IA feet square, and the kitchen
14xl6 feet. There will be double
bay-windows and a porch, and the ex-
terror and interior will be finely fin
ished.
The new Catholic church plan will

Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1882-12-07

The Napoleon NORTHWEST is opposed TO any na-
uonal reduction of the internal revenue tar. II
wants Democratic Congress to be well supplied
with large surplus. II is probable that Democratic
CongressInen viii oppose any propositiontO reduce
the taxes imposed upon the people,
The stupidity Of the Telegram, from
which the above is clipped, is proverbial,
but we had supposed, violently perhaps,
that il knew " hat constituted taxes, and
that tariff dutns were the most onerous
Of any of th' federal assessments. We
were mistaken and apoIogiz" to the king
of rabbits. The NORTHWEST demands a re-
duction of taxes, to the full extent the
public service will permit. but we want
this reduction made "where it will do the
most good" II the publishers do not
wish to pay taxes on whisky and tobacco
let them cease drinking and smoking.
Those who wear clothing, use sugar and
molasses. farm and work, cannot get
along without the use of materials now
excessively and unequally taxed to en-
able the kid-gloved gentry to procure
their luxuries free of duty. The dirt
thrown by the Telegram seems to mostly
blind itself.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1882-12-07

DEMOCRATS who think everything from
now until 1884 will be plain sailing, are
laboring under serious mistake, truth
fully says the Springfield Transcript.
Never before was there greater necessity
for caution, and lack of it will prove
fatal. Democrats must not fatter them
selves that the causes which have sent
the Republicans to the rear will operate
less thoroughly in their case. A neglect
of the interest of the people, and of the
rights of those by whose grace they have
received their power, will defeat them
and do it so thoroughly that there will be
no need of 'eight to seven" commissions
to decide the result. On the other hand,
there is no doubt that the game is in our
hands, ana if our representatives in Con.
gress do their whole duty, our rooster
will crow over the defunct remains of
the buzzard for many years to come, and
the opposition will once more go in
search of name under which to rally
their scattered forces.
