Good land with fair improvements can
be bought for $40 to SIS per acre. Timber
land is still cheaper, and when once clear
ed up is said to be superior to prairie, es-
pecially in the production of wheat. The
timber is principally white-oak, water
oak, post-oak, and hickory, with an occa-
sional cottonwood and walnut. The soil
is clay loan, rich in calcareous matter,
and is specifically adapted to the growth
of most all grains, grasses, fruits and veg
etables that one would wish to raise. The
climate is exceedingly healthy. Former
ly chills and fever were quite common,
but since farmers learned how to drain
their low swampy land, there has been
little or no sickness of any kind. Tracts
of land which, but a few years ago, con-
sisted mainly of miasmatic swamps, are
now converted into rich and beautiful
fields of grain. A large tile factory, at
our county seat, has just been completed,
so that hereafter the business of tiling
land will be more extensively carried on
than formerly, and doctors will have lit

quinine, so frequently used in malarious

CONVENTION NOTES,


The Doctors ran the Convention, ana the lay
yers had to take back seats.
There were three colored delegates in the Con-
vention.
We omitted to mention, in the report of the
Convention, that DR.. Holcomb and Johnny
Kyle were appointed tellers, to receive and
count the ballots.
There was considerable oloquenoe displayed
announcing some of the candidates; James
NJ. Tripp Sheriff Cherington. David D. Edwards
and others, becoming quite enthusiastic.
1t was remarkable and cheering fact that
the delegates had sense manners and decency
enough not to smoke in the Court Room; but
there were three or four two-legged asses who
had right within the bar, who raised the
usual stink.
There was good deal of noise and confusion
q good part of the time, and the Chairman, DR..
Kitchen, was little too mild with the roughs.
Men who have no more sense than to interrupt
a Convention, should be promptly knocked
down and dragged out,
We think that the fool friends of candidates
sometimes do said candidates much harm.
When a good man is defeated, and perhaps
less worthy one nominated, the cheering of a
gang of half-drunken hoodlums is not calcu-
lated to render tho friends OF the defeatsd cam
didate more enthusiastic for the success of the
nominee

JACKSON, OHIO, June 4, 1880.
To the Editors of the Standard
| desire to express through the
STANDARD my most hearty thanks to
those who supported me in the recent
Canvass for Treasurer.
You stood by me and worked for me
in an honorable and gentlemanly
manner, and with a friendship and de-
votion for which any man should feel
proud; and I assure you that do ap-
preciate, and shall ever remember you
and your services with the deepest
feelings Of gratitude. This contest
was among friends, in the family, and
I am happy to say has passed off leav-
ing US still united family, marching
on with hands joined to meet the
common enemy, free trade Democra-
cy, whom we have so often met and
put to flight, and whom we hope to
bury under 1000 majority this fall.

JOAQUIN MILLER 1.-THE Poet of the
Sierras," has written very pathetic
tribute to his dead wife, Minnie
Myrtle" Years ago, in San Fran
cisco, Mrs Miller playfully requested
her husband that in case she died first,
he should write and publish tribute
to her memory, promising to preform
like service in case he should die
first. Mr.. Miller gives a brief sketch
Of their married life, and writes his
wife up as pure and noble woman.
Yet he admits that as long as she lived
he acted the part of a william toward
her, neglecting her until she applied
for divorce, then hiring an umprin-
cipled lawyer to furnish her with a
sham divorce, upon which she mar
ried again.
Then the poet beautifully tells how
he called at her death-bed in New
York, left her fresh flowers, and con-
descended to act as though he were
halfway human. When the poor
woman was dead, the flowers which
the husband had brought were found
ranged by the bedside-each withered
leaf having place. Was there ever
a grander picture of woman's love and
constancy? What is the opposite pict-
ure? The brutal husband, after doing
everything in his power to make her
life miserable, and drag her down to
the grave, at last bought a plot in
Greenwood Cemetery, buried her there,
and now writes beautiful things about
her life
It does require a poet to write feel
ingly Of the dead. Let every man who
possesses a noble heart do all within
his power to make bright the lives of
his loved ones while living. Kind
and affectionate attention to a wife
during her lifetime is the best tribute
a husband can pay. 1t is far better
and easier to make life blessed and
joyful, than to write the story of a
broken heart.

Tax 1T To Death?

When many of the good ladies of this
community were circulating petitions to
to the Legislature to submit Prohib-
itory Amendment, they applied to several
men of good standing who refused to
sign their tablets. The reasons given by
some of these are interesting. One, man
of excellent standing, member of
Church, and a really well-meaning man,
gave as his reason for refusing to ask the
Legislature to give the people an oppor-
tunity to vote upon such proposition,
that he was in favor of taxing it to
DEATH" meaning the liquor traffic.
Now, we would like for this man, or
any other man living, to tell us about
how much tax it would require upon a
doggery to kill it. Suppose you levy
tax of five hundred dollars a year upon
every saloon-would that stop the bust
ness? No. With heavy tax, and with
the protection of the law, the doggery
keeper would of course use every effort to
increase his business, and bring to bear
eyery conceivable device for inducing
men to drink. This man would say to the
doggery- keeper: 'The price OF my fami-
ly is two hundred dollars-1f you will
nav that amount into the County Trea-
sury this year, you may make sots OF my
bovs and idiots of their descendants; You
may break my wife's heart, and ruin my

THE Portsmouth Times is very in
dignant over the fact that John An
dres gave Mike Stanton thrashing
In Portsmouth on last Wednesday.
The Times howls and raves about ''an
assault on peaceable CITIZEN" etc.
We do not approve of Andres assault
upon Stanton, yet we do not see how
Mr.. Stanton's friends can consistent
ly censure Andres. Mr.. Stanton has
for years been engaged in the liquor
business, and though that business is
doubtless the indirect cause of thou
sand assaults upon peaceable citizens.
In the vigorous pummeling Andres
gave him he is but reaping a little
harvest Of his own sowing.

To the Editors of the Standard:
Being born and raised in Jackson coun-

to it with an emotion of pleasure. L left

for Illinois, and landed here the next day,
being on the road about 26 hours. This
county (Jasper) lies in the southeastern
part Of the State, about 12O miles east of
st. Louis, and 80 miles north Of the lati-
tude of said city. Newton, the county
seat, is flourishing town about as large
as Jackson. Three county papers are ed
tied in Newton, one Democratic, one Re-
publican, and one independent. The cir
culation of each is small - near 800

here are not reading people, yet there
are excellent schools throughout the
county, managed by competent teachers.
The school buildings are better and more

This county can justly boast Of its good
roads, it's prohibition, and its courteous
and patriotic citizens. Whisky can be

THE papers come to US filled with ac-
counts of Decoration Day" services. On
Wednesday of last week, all over the
North, tender hands were paying the trib-
ute of loving hearts in scattering beauti-
full flowers upon the graves of the brave
men who died that this country might be
freed from the curse of human slavery.
How proud the great North was of her
brave boys, as, in the flush and vigor of
manhood, they went forth to wage an ag-
gressive war against the Demon of Slave
ry and his apologists and defendersl And
how loyal and loving hearts bled when
the news came that some of the brave
boys had fallenI Who that has stood at
the telegraph station awaiting the details
of great battle fought, and heard the
fatal messages read, can ever forget the
crushing sorrow, the anguish too strong
for tears, that fell upon waiting fathers,
mothers and sisters?
How cheeks flushed with indignation;
how hearts swelled with a hatred of eV-
erything traitorous and vile, as the news
came that one after another of neighbors,
relatives and friends had fallen victims
to the Demon!
And in all the score of years that have
passed since those dread moments, the
tender affection for the fallen and the ha-
tired of the influences which encompassed
their death, have remained firm and un-
shaken, and the mantles of flowers that
were last week laid upon the last earthly
resting places of these loved ones, were be-
dewed with tears which cruel memory
wrung from broken hearts.
To-day Demon far more destructive
than the Demon of Slavery, is waging an
unrelenting war upon the homes of the
people, attacking their very firesides. This
Demon does little campaigning wag-
es continual battle. The victims are
falling upon every side; the cemeteries
are filling up with the slain; yet the peo-
pie seem slow to arouse to sense Of the
great danger by which they are surround
ed. In this war as in the war of the Re
bellion, there are the usual number Of
croakers and enemies in the camp. "Y ou
can't coerce a State was the cry during
the Rebellion; "you can't put down In
temperance" is the cry now. But the peo-
pie did coerce not only one State, but
many; and, notwithstanding the traitors
and croakers, we have faith to believe
that the good sense and bravery of the
people will prevail in the battle with this
far greater curse than mere slavery Of the

No, friend, this hellish business cannot
be "taXed to DEATH" for the reason that
the tax does not come off of the doggery-

why not kill it at once?
