Mr.. William Harris, Of Cambridge, Ohio,

posed OF the property which he owned In the
Middle ward. He will shortly remove his
family here and enter into a partnership
with his brother, Addison Harris, in the tin

1t appears that every move among the
people that Is to their edi6catiOn results in
utter failure. There were some persons who
wished to organize literary and debating
society, but meeting with 10 encouragement
and not much approval, It's end was like its
beginning, all talk. In fact, the time has ar
rived when there is in town not enough en-
erGy-for we don't lack talent-to get up u
respectable home concert.
1t seems that there Is at work some cause
which has brought exceeding good effects on
our community. Since the introduction of
the pool and billiard tables In town, and the
organization Of a tent OF Rechabites, there
has been three il not four OF the saloons
closed. Since the sober, peace.loving, law
abiding citizens were left without remedy
by the laws, in their imperiection, or the
backwardneSs OF proper prosecution on part
oil the officials, It is well that at last there
appears some means Of stopping this evil.
What the cause Is we can only surmise, but
certainly the rooms where there are pool and
billiards have become evening resorts of
those who would otherwise frequent the sa-
looms. The RechRbites have goOdly num-
Der OF this class.
