THE telephone line connecting Cleveland
with Akron, Canton and Massillon with
stations at Bedford, Hudson and Cuyahoga
Falls, was completed last Saturday night.
The distance from Cleveland to Massillon,the
most remote place, is seyenty-hve miles, and
conversation is carried on freely. The Mid
land Telephone Company, having control OF
this line, will now according to arrangements
with the Lorain Telephone Company, extend
their line to Olmsted Falls, where they will
be met by line from Elyria, giving that
place, Lorain and Oberlin communication
with the city. The people of Norwalk also
desire line to that place which will of
course connect them with the places above
named. The Norwslk exchange is now con-
nected with Milan, North Fairfield and steu-
ben.-Oberlin News.
Aud still Wellington, though often
promised, sees No move to put her in
communication with her sister towns.

Coaauering q Mule.

"Ben Appleby, of st. Louis, had a
mule" said the stableman, (which
was one of the knowingest cusses you
ever saw. 1 dunno where Ben found
him, but, one day he came drivin'
home with this mule hitched ter the tail
end of his wagon. He was an innocent
lookin' animal, plump an fat, an
looked like he was goin' to be good fer
suthin'. Well, the next day after Ben
got i'm home he tried ter hitch i'm up,
but he wouldn't be hitched. He jest
everlastin'ly kicked the wagon inter
splinters. He kicked one eend outer
ther stable, an kicked ther stall down.
an kicked everything in sight Ben
took him out in the corn-feld one day,
an hitched i'm to plow, but he up an
kicked that plow over inter ther next
lot. He was all right under saddle, but
ther mint Ben tried ter hitch i'm ter
anything he Jest kicked it outer sight.
No matter where he was, if things
didn't suit i'm. he Jest let himself out
an kicked. Nobody but Ben dast go
near i'm. Well, finally he diskivered
that everybody was scared of i'm, an
he got the idee that he was the greatest
mule in that section OF ther country.
He had way of cockin' one ear for
rard an the other backards, an
winkin' one eye when any one
came near i'm, as much as to say: Git
on to me; Pm Ben Appleby's kickin'
mule, an don't yer forgit it When
Ben would be ridin' i'm long there
road an they'd pass another mule, he'd
jist git his ears in position an wink an
grin as much as ter say: I'm the only
mule in this country. I'm a kicker, /

body could hitch i'm to no sort of vehi-
Gle. He got chuck, ram, jam full of
conceit, an use ter parade hisself aroun'
the barnyard like he owned the place
Ben made up his mind as how the mule
wouldn't never be no count tell he was
broke to drive in harness. He tried all
sorts 'er ways. He hitched i'm to a
mowin' machine, an the result was he
had ter git a new machine. The mule
kicked it all outer shape. He broke up
everything that Ben tried ter hitch i'm
to. Bimeby Ben got mad. He swore
he'd take the conceit outer that animal
if it tux his hull farm. Then he begun
to study up ther case, till, one day a
man came along with one of them farm
engines what they run thrashin' mer-
sheens with. Ben says to i'm, 'Pn

Fair Notes.

Ashower on the morning of the second
day of-the Fair encouraged one to go to
Wellington. As early as eight o'clock the
people were coming in, acquaintances
were greeting one another, and every one
anticipating a day of recreation. We fol-
lowed the crowd, the strains of music
from the Lodi Band directing us.
In Horticultural Hall potatoes were
about the only thing that had had time to
reach maturity, and some specimens were
fine. Apples were in good variety, con-
sidering the scarcity this year. Water
melons were in compulsory attendance,
and would have done better with a couple
more weeks hanging on the vines.
In Merchants Hall, Organs were shown,
well finished and of good tone. Bald
win, Laundon, Windecker s. Co. exhibited
a splendid display of winter cloaks and
dry goods, with gentlemanly clerk to ex-
plain prices and answer, civilY and good
humoredly, the thousand questions. The
sewing machines-Domestic and New
Home-were well represented. Wights
display of jewelry was temptation to
many, and his patronage good. There was
show offurniture from Hoyt s. Woolley's,
and of choice millinery by Mrs. Wideman.
In Floral Hall were pictures in oil and
crayon. The "Etude aux deux Crayon, -
by Mrs Jennie Wadsworth Eckels, in its
artistic finish and costly frame, seemed to
provoke jealousy, some publicly insinuat-
lug that it was a re-penciled lithograph,
which was slanderously false. The owner
has more pictures of the same tint of
paper, the same workmanship, excellency
in finish and artistic taste. The emptiness
of this Hall excited comment why the
ladies and their daughters who know so
we'll how to make articles that will orna.
ment their homes do not bring more oi
then here.
The catalogue of the Association needs
revising-has needed it for years. If the
Association can hardly clear expenses
would it not be better to charge entry tc
exhibitors, plus a small percentage on
premiums, and offer prize worth having
We pass over cattle, horses and machi
merry, leaving to some visitor of the third
day the privilege of his own estimation.
There was no alternative but to go tC
the Dining Hall at the dinner hour, and
we are under the impression that the pro
prietor did as well as he knew how.
The bicycle riding was well done ant
commendable, and the footrace had it:

sWhy was it that the Hon. r. A. Horr,
when he went to Ashland to the Repuli-
can District convention, took banner
with him that had his name on it2 Is it
possible that he had planned his dark
horse candidacy in advance of the con-
yentions 1t must be so, else why that
Horr banner? What stupendous cheek a
man must have who will thus play false

tion.
We were there and know all about that
Horr Banner, and
list Mr.. Horr did not take a banner with
him from Wellington that had his name
on it,

the convention,
Sd He nor no one else brought one
home on the train with his name on it,
4th He never had banner with his
name on it either before or since the con-
yention, and
5th That whole story about the Banner
was an unmitigated lie from beginning to
end. We came home from Ashland with
the same banner on our cars we had when
we went down containing the name OF
Hon. S. s. Warner.
Would it not have been as well to in
quire first whether the above insinuation
was true instead of assuming it and bas

now viii the Constitution have the grace
70 give these facts to the public through

tion of fact Mr.. Horr is innocent on this
count, and man who breaches weekly

Nothing is more delightful at race
than to see the patience taken to obtain
premiums whether remunerative or honor
airy. But it is seldiem that our good luck
takes us to race where swearing, betting
and bad whisky are left out. Gambling
or betting at its best is an infamous device
followed by a few low minded people,
whose characters need investigation and
whose companion, in a majority of cases,
is bad whisky. Cannot our citizens for
public day leave in their barns their
swearing and pint bottles, and take to
public gathering good humor and affabil-
ity. Do those who are in the habit of
swearing or using vulgar language know
how it sounds, particularly to women and
children? The difference in price be-
tween gentlemanly department or the con-
trary is the same, and none but a coward
will give emphasis to expressions with an
oath. Let US assert our remark in firm
way with words that will express our
meaning without the necessity of blushing,
and if we are fortunate enough to possess
extra capital and do not know what to do
with it, let us find some worthy poor and
give him portion of it o. B. STILL.

Fashion.Plate Waists.

OF modern ssfashion-plate waists, :"
Mary L. Griffin writes in the Wonaan's
Journal:
"They are not after the model formed
by the Creator; they do not represent
the sculptured ideals of the old masters,
which are supposed to be standards of
beauty; they do not keep pace with the
genius of our century, which Is forcing
us to recognize and adopt the natural
and healthful as being also the most
beautiful. No woman with such waist
can be anything but a dyspeptic, con-
sumptive, distorted being. No woman
with such waist is fit for motherhood,
if, indeed, it is possible to her. 1t means
martyrdom for her and misery for her
children and her children's children. A
lady whose name carries weight through
out the length and breadth Of our land
has said: "a fashion-plate Is to me more
pathetic than an obituary; it stands so
often to the latter in the relation of cause
to effect. The same philosophy ap:
plies to high heels and deformities in
general May we not ask fashion edi.
tors to use their potent influence In the
direction we have indicated, and in al
directions which shall help women to
reach better and higher idealp"

If any of our politicians, Republican or.
:. otherwise, desired to keep the temperance
question in the back ground during this
campaign they are doomed to disappoint-
ment Like Banquo's ghost, it will not

, demands recognition and we predict that

The leading political parties. Each party
has already ranged itself according to its
natural proclivities. The Democracy makes
no secret of its alliance with the liquor in
-terest. At its late convention the follow
! ing resolution was presented by General
~ Warner.
q Resolved, That are and always have been in
favor ofthe largest liberty Of the citizen consis
tent with public order and the rights OF Others and
opposed to all legislation merely sumptuary, but
recognizing the excesses and evils that would re-
suit from unrestricted traffic in intoxicating Liquors,
we believe the best interests Of society require
that this traffic should be subjected to such regula-
tions by law sanctioned by the constitution, and
properly enforced, viii repress and prevent
- these evils and that it should be made bear its
- just share Of the burdens Ofthe taxes.
But although urged with all his ability
in a contest of two hours, it was rejected
IS and the following dictated by the whisky
interest and allowed in consideration of a
pledge to contribute $50, 900 to the DEM
ocratic Campaign,was adopted in its stead.
ts.a Resolved, That the Democratic party has ever
maintained and steadfastly adheres to the doctrine
of the largest liberty consistent with the public
welfare, and is opposed to legislation merely
sumptuary. ID,
A comparison of the two shows the real
2 spirit that animates the Democracy and
their hopeless committal to the distillers
and brewers interest
On the other hand Governor Foster has
raised the standard and the choice in Ohio,
ON the one hand is Democracy free whisky
and Sabbath desecration, and on the other
Republicanism, taxation of the liquor
traffic and orderly Sabbaths. With 5000
saloons in the State, one to every 225 in
. 3habifants or every 45 voters, with sales of
liquors amounting to SIC, 900 600 annually,
= with nearly s35 900, 900 of profits, with an
expenditure of s3,oO0,O00 yearly in sup
port of charitable institutions and reform
atories, with the known fact that the traffic
causes nine tenths of all the crime and
pauperfsm, with all these facts staring the
voters of the Buckeye state squarely in the
face, the result of the contest is not in the
, least questionable. The cause is safe.

Improvement Of the Water Ways
Of the State.
IN. O. picayune.1

The work of improving the mouth of
Red River by dredging was carried ont
with good results during October. Ma
terial to the extent of l0,O75 cubic yards
was dredged out, and a channel of ID
feet and of O width of $50 feet on the bar
was obtained. The plant of machinery
for doing this business consists Of two
steam tugs and a steam dredge. 1t is
being operated in the Atchafalaya and
Old River, and part of the time on a bar
10 the Atchafalaya, caused by a serious
slide into the river, which occurred on
the 3lst Of October. The channel has
since bqenfleared out.
Bayoh-aeche is being o surveyed
with a view to determine what is neces-
sary for it's improvement. The location
for q proposed lock and dam will also
be established.
The surveys for the Clarendon Canal
have been completed, and the plans and
estimates for the proposed work sent on
TO Washington for approval.
Bayou C~ourtableau, upon which oper-
atoms were much obstructed by high
water, is now under the care of the N
gineeEs. The work done before the late
foods stood fully as we'll as was hoped
for, and 10 being now carried on very
successfully.
In Bayou Lafourche l04 stumps and
trees were taken out during October.
OF these 25 were blasted out with gun
powder, while 70 were dragged out by
means of derricks. The work 10 now
being carried on at q point fourteen
miles below Lockport, and is progress

Ohio the compost raised on Il fifty-fve
acre farm, from ten head of horses and
thirty head of cattle in n year, was
estimated by the State chemist at S265O,
| and scattered 10000 pounds to the acre,
made a net profit Of $500 an acre.
"Another thing is that our farmers do
not appreciate cotton seed. That comes
nearer to being a perfect fertilizer than
any one thing in the world. And yet
over 100, 900 bushels were sold at myde-
pot but for a trife and hauled away"
"You do not believe in cotton seed
mills, them"
ayes, I do. think the seed is just as
good a fertilizer AFTER the oil is extracted
as before. The trouble is when it is sent
to the oil mill it never comes. back. Once
made into cotton meal it Is sent to Eng
land for stock food, and the Georgia
| farm is robbed of it.
"You see, the English % Northern
farmers can afford to pay more for it
| than we can, because he feeds it to his
stock and then saves the dropping of
the stock. In this way he fattens his
cattle with it, and still uses it as q ma
nure after it has performed that func-
ton. We do not reach that economy be-
cause we haven't the stock to feed it to-,
and because we do not save the manure
of the stock we do feed. The ideal sys-
tenn would be to take the seed to an oil
mill, sell the right to the oil, have the
pressed cake returned, feed it TO stock,
and then return it t the earth in the
shape of droppings from the animals.
This will come in time. 1t is n of the
results of the intensive system of farm
ing. The more manure we need for
compost, the more sheep and cattle we'll
need. The more stock we have, the
more cotton seed cake we'll need. The
more cotton seed cake we feed to our
stock at home, the richer our lands will
be. We waste millions of dollars
ally from the failure to pen our stock at
night. There is no excuse forany Geor-
gian staying poor or starving his land.
"With his cotton seed and stable ma
nure saved and composted with decayed
leaves, fine straw, etc, any farmer car
become rich if he wants to-, and double
the value of his land in three years"
CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.
