their pastor the ladies composing the
Ladies' Missionary Society of Union
town congregation, visited Rev. r. G..
Campbell, at his residence, in New

LAST Sunday was the first under tn

LAST Sunday was the first under the
Smith Sunday law, and there was much
curiosity excited as to how it would be
observed, especially in cities where
heretofore SUNDAY" has been the "big
day" with saloons and beer gardens. In
the smaller towns of the state there was
a very general obedience to the require
ments of the law, and last Sunday was
more quiet and orderly than usual.
At Cincinnati, out of about 5000 sa-
looms, about one-third of them openly
violated the law, and all of the hilltop
resorts were open as usual. On Monday
warrants were issued for many of the
violators and the courts will he called
upon to inflict the penalty provided by
the statute.
At Toledo the law was observed by
the saloon keepers, but to make it odious
they are pushing the old law against all
kinds of Sunday labor, and caused war
rants to be issued for the arrest of cab
drivers at funerals, milkmen, car-drivers,
etc.
In Columbus the saloon keepers show
ed their good sense by submitting to the
requirements of the law. and the day
was the most orderly and quiet known
in Columbus for many years, there be
ing but four arrests for drunkenness, an
extraordinary record for that city.
In Dayton large meeting was held
by the liquor dealers and their sympa
thizers in the afternoon to express indig
nation against the Pond and Smith law,
and to denounce the newspapers that ad
vocated their passage and enforcement
One speaker urged resistance to tn
laws.
, In the main the observance of the da
. shows strong public sentiment in tn
state in favor of maintaining these law
D and as their bene6cent influence are fe
!. it will grow and increase until the Sab
q bath will be indeed day of rest for a

STAEBUCK's New ENTERPRISE.--One
of our most energetic and talented busl-
ness men is NJ. c. Starbuck, who has for
so many years. successfully conducted
the lightning-rod business in Eastern
Ohio. Apparently exhausting that field,
Mr.. Starbuek has looked around for new
worlds to conquer, and has discovered
the Hallowell Fire-Proof Paint, an arti-
Gle that has had good run in other
parts of the country, but has been COM
paratively unknown in this section un-
til he heralded its praises through the
press. He has control of large part OF
Ohio and West Virginia and has gone to
work with his accustomed vigor to make
and sell the paint We had an opportu-
nity of looking into the factory, and
found that he is prepared to make paint
in quantities to meet any possible de-
mand 1t is certainly good article, else
Mr.. Starbuck, with his well known BUS
mess sagaclty and reputation, would not
have entered into the business and rec
commended it to his friends and neigh
bors. The great. merit of the paint is
that it will last so long that one applica-
tion to roof is all that is necessary,
and it will resist fire in a way that is
truly wonderful. While at the WORKS
Mr.. Starbuck took live coal and laid it
| on a painted shingle. but instead OF
blazing and burning there was no flame
at all and-the shingle was only charred
This shows that root 50 painted is fire.
proof against sparks from chimneys and
burning buildings. After our investi.
cations, we have no hesitation in saying
that the paint is highly useful article
and will do all that is claimed for 1t
The Hallowell has so good a reputation
that many other paints are sold undel
its name, but Mr.. Starbuck and his
agents have the only genuine. unadul
terated Hallowell. With this paint new
roofs can be made to last many years
longer than usual, and old ones can b'
made almost as good as new. 1t is cheal
and profitable to use, and is destined t.
have large sales wherever its merits be-
come known GAINESVILLE Enterprise

The speech of the Hon. j. T. Upde-
graft, of Ohio, on the tariff, on the 18th
and 18th instant, is worthy of special
attention. While alluding to the benefit
of protective tariff to American man
ufactures. he deals particularly with the
question as bearing on the agriculture
of the country, and on this point his ar
gument is very powerful. Net only does
he find the farmer protected in all his
staple products-corn, wheat, tobacco,
hay, domestic animals-but he supports
the declaration of Jefferson, "Plant the
factory by the side of the farm with
great skill and effect The speech should
find place at every farmers fireside in
the country.-INational Washington
