rous and patriotic; loyal to friends. to country
and to the interests Of society. their work was

law and order, aud the people owe them a
debt of gratitude they do not forget. Their
page in history is as fascinating as it is hon.
orable, and there is peculiar pleasure in
reading the narrative of tleir wonderful ex-
plots.
The times which produced those heroes and
heroines mark period in American history O,
absorbing interest alike 10 old and young. Ii
is proper that it should be so. These hard,
pioneers coupled virtue with courage. human
ity and love OF country with the stern duties
OF frontier life and battle. and the example oil
their lives not only interests hut strengthens
our faith and admiration in human courage
and unselfsh purpose.
In American pioneer history there are three

ricultural advantages were pointed out,
also giving the names of settlers occu-
plying land along the road.
Allarit was reached by those bring

There are numerous buildings and i'm

A picnic was contemplated for the
evening, but later on it was decided to

Allardt has good location, splendid
water and fine farming lands, and there
is no reason-under the present man.

HEALTH AND CLIMATE.
All health seekers. whether from Northern
or Southern States, should try the climate of
the Tableland. The recent United States
Census shows it to be almost the only district
east Of the Rocky Mountains, entirely lice from
malaral, pulmonary and intestinal diseases.
The Plateau has double climate. one
resulting from latitude and the other from
elevation. The air is pure and invgolating.
The water is freeslone cool and sparkling.
Mineral springs are numerous.
The mean summer temperature is II deg.
Fahr., and in winter 81 deg. Fair. The
nights are always cool and refreshing.
SOIL.
The soil is a sandy loan upon mulatto
clay subsoil. It's light, friable, holds manu- e.
is easily cultivated and responds readily and
generously to the least fertilizer

FRUIT AID GRAPE CULTURE.

This region IS especially adapted to fruit.
and particularly to the winter apple and the
grape. The apple crop here has never been
krown to tail. The trees are healthy, ard the
fruit smooth, plump, juicy aud firm rarely
ever speaking or rottlng. The grape is also a
sure crop where proper varieties are planted.
The vines are robust and the grapes make
excellent wines. which are in good demand.
these two fruits are destined to become the
great and staple products OF the Iablrand.

The Scott Law.

Lawing over the Scott Liquor
Act in Ohio has begun already. 1t
does not seem to have occurred to
the saloon keepers generally that
it would be for their advantage to
obey the law and not question its
constitutionality. The good people
Of Ohio are long suffering, but when
they discover, as the liquor inter
ests seem bound to have them dis
cover, that the Solons must knuck-
lie under to the saloons, they will
most certainly establish prohibit
ton that will prohibit. The new
law imposes tax, amounting to a
license, that is by no means exhor-
bitant. 1t is quite probable that
the new law is technically uneon-
stitutional, but its overthrow will
not insure, even in the great cities,
the reign of unregulated free rum.
There is too much good sense in
Ohio for that.-GIobe-Democ

Knowing that the great liquor
oligarchy is the common enemy of
"God, Home and Native Land and
believing it to be sacred duty to

rant from his throne, we most ear

uor traffic as beverage, to assem-
BILE at the Court House in Pomeroy
on Saturday, the 26th of May next,

Observation-Disclosures
EOur-Mile Prohibition.

N. w. Mcconnell, judge Of cir
cult comprising eight counties in
Tennessee, which have a popula-
tion of 79,243 has written to the
Nashville american that since the
E'four-mile law went into opera
tion-a law prohibiting liquor sa-
looms within four miles of a school
house the number of indictments
and presentments in the circuit
has decreased two-thirds. The
Judge adds: ''The effect upon So
ciety is more marked than in the
number of indictments found. Pub
lie sentiment warmly and largely
supports the law. 1t was opposed
to it at first, but it's execution has so
improved society that it has been
completely revolutionized.- Rising

1t Got Too Hot.

Three or four years ago two res
idents of the same town in Michi-
gan who had always been the
war nest of friends, were nominated
in opposition for the same Office.
They had a consultation, and
agreed while it was necessary that
each should call the other a liar
and a horse-thief and thorough
scoundrel, for the benefit of the
public, their personal friendship
should not be broken. Everything
went all right until the canvass
warmed up, and then one day as A.
was abusing B. before a meeting,
calling him demagogue, trickster,
hypocrite, liar and so forth, B.
mounted the platform and whis-
pered:
"Say, A., [ want you to do me a
great favor"
eyes, of course-what is it ?"
"My side of the house is kicking
because [ stand your abuse without
a row. You must let me knock
you DOWN.
"But | thought we were to be
friends p
certainly, but unless l exhibit
& proper spirit you'll lay me out by
500 majority, and L know you don't
want to send me to the political
graveyard. Here go!"
And he hauled off and knocked
A. head over heels, and taking
his place on the platform, observed ::
Gentlemen, the hydra-headed
opposition must be crushed and the
Union preserved if it takes every
drop of blood in this country! Let
freemen rally !--Detroit Free Press.

Judge Mcfarland on Prohibition.

Judge N. C. Mcfarland, Commits
sioner of the General Land Office,
made an eloquent address recently
in Masonic Hall, Washington, D.
c., on the "Prohibition of the Lii
quor Traffic" He said his convic-
tions were decidedly in favor of
prohibition, for he believed more
crime is due to whisky, and such
intoxicants, than to all other
sources combined. He Endorsed the
work of the Union, and said woman
was the great sufferer, and as long
as mother lives a voice will be
raised against the traffic, The
audience was a large and intelli-
gent one, and frequently applaud
ed the speaker.
