A Card.


Davis Mackley Esq, Publisher Jackson Standard,
jackson, Ohio:
Dear Sv:-In reply to your state
ment in last weeks edition Of the
Standard, I beg leave to offer the fol-
lowing.
According to a long established Gus
tom in the post offices throughout the
country, [ have made it point for
years to solicit subscribers for such
republican papers as saw fit at various
times to offer me the best inducements
for procuring subscribers for the same,
and that I am ready at any time to
consider any propositions in this re-
spect, from any good republican paper,
be it the Standard or any other, and
having accepted the proposition Of the
Jackson Journal for this season, it
being the best offered, I have used all
honorable means in advancing the cir
culation of this paper. And in every
case where mention was made of the
Standard, | stated that had nothing
to do with it, and as far as l was con-
cerned they could continue to take or
discontinue it at will, but that de-
sired their subscription for the
Journal.
In reference to purposely OBTAINING
the Standard of SAID "best subscriber"
| would state that since the present
arrangement, some 6 weeks old, went
into effect, by which the jackson
papers arrive here on the morning
train, once or twice the Standards
did not come with the other jackson
papers, but came down on the mail or
afternoon train, and as this party
failed to get his Standard when he
called for it in the morning, seeing
that the Journals and Heralds were
here, he at once jumped at the con-
clusian that was purposely detaining
his Standard, and now that he has
given vent to his spleen" and unbos-
omed his master mind, | presume he
is resting on his launches and no
doubt imagines that he is at peace
with all mankind, having finally ac-

Extra Standard!

On next Friday evening we will issue
an extra sheet, giving full particulars of
the execution of John w. Jackson, with
a sketch of the crime, arrest, trial, convic-
tion, &c. This extra sheet will be sold at
five cents per copy. 1t will not be bur-
dened with useless reading matter, but
will give the entire history of the case in
as condensed form as possible. A rep
resentative of the Standard will be pres
ent at the execution, and nothing will be
published with regard to it but what is
absolutely correct. The next issue of the
Standard will also contain full account,
but those buying the extra will get the
news four days in advance of the regular
issue Frank Baldridge is our agent at
Jackson. Leave your names with him,
or leave them at this Office.

Arrival Of Spring and Summer Goods
at G. NJ. Martin & Sons Model
Cash Store.

To tell you we bought cheap hardly
expresses it, for we applied our boiling
apparatus" to every article, and kept it
there until nothing but bone was left; so
the patrons of our store may expect from
us superior line of Spring and Summer
Goods that are CHEAP, HANDSOME and
RELIABLE, bought direct from first
hands, to save the middle margins that
we are equally distributing among our
customers. We go on the principle that
charity begins at home" and that it is
our duty to save all we can for the
friends of our house; therefore, ready
cash had to be used very freely in the
purchase of our Spring Stock, and as we
are unfortunate in BOT being Wander
bilt or a National Bank with large
circulation, we will have to say to our
friends, Cash will be the only terms we
can sell on, and successfully carry out our
ideas.
If you have never traded at our store,
now is good time to begin. You will
find we conduct our business in a square,
open and above board style. Call in and
look around, and get some prices to
ponder over.

The True Test.

If a man is hungry within an hour more
or less after meal he is a dyspeptic, it
shows his stomach is not able to dispose
of what he has eaten, but to eat again,
and thus impose more work, is absurdity.
Take DR.. Jones Red Glover Tonic which
cures dyspepsia, and all stomach, liver,
kidney and bladder troubles. 1t is per-
feet tonic, appetizer, blood purifier, sure
cure for ague and malaria diseases. Price

but to sell them all they need.

PARDON GRANTED

PARDON GRANTED.
Stephen Crabtree, young man
about twenty years of age, who has
worn the stripes about eighteen
months, was, last evening. the recipi-
ent of pardon from the Governor.
Crabtree came from Jackson county,
having been convicted of stoning a
railway train. He was sentenced for
two years. 1t was made to appear
that the young man was one Of two
who stoned the train, his companion
having thrown stone into a car and
injured passenger. Crabtree threw
after the train, but did not hit it and
it was evident he did not intend to
hurt anyone. The Governor, in the
light of the evidence, was inclined to
regard Crabtree as guilty of boyish
recklessness and devoid of vicious in
tent. The pardon was conditional
upon Crabtree's total abstinence from
the use of intoxicating liquors.
