? party Of fJacksonians composed of Harry French,
Charles Rhodes, z. d. Meacham, Sam. Stevenson,
John and George McKitterick, and several others,
went to Bierlys on lastWednesday, to fish for bass
On Iuesday night Sam Stevenson and John McKitter-
1ck went 10 the creek and caught bucketful of min
nows, leaving them 'in the creek" They afterward
lost the bucket, and after hiring policeman to hunt
the thief who stole It, found the empty bucket next
morning upon the creek bank. The party started at
three O'Clock in the morning Bierlys where they
fshed all day.
There is certain sand-bank at that place, where
we have, in past years, some fine bass landed.
Upon this bank Meacham, the most notwithstanding
man in the party, planted himself. Lige is said to
nave presented fine picture he sat-with his bald
head glistening in the warm April sunlight-watch-
ing the lively mfnnow playing around with his line.
Suddenly there was a snap-whiz-z-z-z! A rush of
water, Tightening of the line, cracking of the rod,
and away went a fve-pound bass, rushing like a
race-horse up, down, here, there everywhere. Lige
was afraid the other boys would his good luck,
and want to fish in the same place. so he frightened
his grip, and attempted to draw his prize in.
Whir-r-r-r-r! Away went the fish like green
fash Lige loosened his line, and the bass remained
passive. But this agony-the prize must be
landed. Lige gently drew the line-splash! Whiz-
TIT! There green and silver streak flying up
the creek with the speed of a whirlwind. But Lige
meant business. He braced himself and pulled and
tugged for life. He could see a sheet OF foaming
water, covered by monument of green and silver
scales. The harder he pulled the more rapidly the
bass away from him. He nerved himself and
one last, desperate pull, when the fish suddenly
whrled about and rushed straight at him. the sudden
relaxation of the strain the line throwing him
back into the sand and he suddenly sat plump
down into the wet sand full realization of his situa-
tion flashed over him. He awoke-and found that he
had dreamed the whole fish story, while asleep on
that sand bank. He didn't catch fsh-and the rest
of the party caught about as much as Lige did,

OBITUARY.

Henry B. Martin born in Jackson, July Is, IS4S,
and died April IS, 1883, thus closing his earthly life
in the town where he began to live about
thirty-fve years ago.
On the 18th of November, 1882, he had severe fall,
since which time he has been afflicted his suferings
finally terminating in his death. In these long lin
gering months of af1ictton, he reflected upon his
life felt his need of the Saviour and prayed earnestly
to God the forgiveness ofhs sins and the salvation
of his soul.
All that faithful constant, tender could do for
his recovery, was done by the loving hands in the
home circle, who ministered to his wants in his af
Fiction. "They have done what they could" But he
has passed beyond the reach of their kind care.
The funeral was held at the family residence on
Main street, Thursday, April 19th and was largely
attended by the people, who that by their
presence they might express their sympaf'g with
the bereaved family who have been for many
residents of town. and held in high esteem by
our people.
The aged father and mother who have trusted God
so long, and the brothers and sisters who have also
learned the lesson of faith in Christ have One to
whom they go in the time of trouble. May the
God in whom they all trust be their portion they
pass through the garden of sorrow."

who sold coffee, or rice, OF sugar, or
calico, or clothing; that is, he paid on
the average value Of his stock during
the preceding year. Now how would
the man who sells coffee take it if a
law should be enacted requiring him
to pay tax Of 5000?
The very admission that tax can
be assessed upon the liquor traffic, and
not upon other kinds of trade, is the
best evidence that such traffic Is wrong
is a crime. If it is not crime, or
offense, no tax can justly be assessed
upon it, except that provided for by
the constitution, that is, the true val
ue in money Of the stock in trade; if
it be a crime, or offense, then it should
be treated the same as assault and bat
terry, theft, &c.-utterly outlawed and
prohibited.

DURING the past two weeks several
deaths of prominent persons have oc-
CURED in neighboring counties. E..
P. Evans, an old lawyer Of West
Union. Adams County, died last week.
He was the father of N. W. Evans,
attorney, Of Portsmouth. The de-
ceased was 81 years Of age. We be-
came acquainted with him about
twenty-five years ago. He was good
man. Erastus Pond, an old citizen of
Portsmouth, is dead. He had con-
tract for making our first railroad,
on the section between Berlin and
Hamdena Some time after the road
had been completed he was for a time
Superintendent. Simeon Nash, son
of the late Judge Nash, of Gallipolis,
is dead. We never met Mr.. Nash but
once, at Portland. He was, like his
father, an exceedingly pleasant gentle
man. He was a lawyer. Samuel
Richardson, of Gallipolis, is dead. He
was 80 years of age. Franklin Carel.
aged SS, died last week at Gallipolis.
He was a native of France, but he
lived in Gallipolis since he was a
child, was very prominent citizen.

"WE have strenuously argued that
the affair of revenue and the affair of
prohibition should be separated, and
that tax law should aim simply at a
fair revenue, free from all intent to
extinguish the trade, and from all pro-
visions making it an offense; and that
the affair of prohibition, in all its de-
grees, should stand by itself. The
Scott Law comes nearer to this condi-
ton than could be anticipated at that
time
We find the above in an article in
favor Of the new liquor law, in the
Cincinnati Commercial. That paper
has been urging a tax law for more
than year, and has all the time urg-
ed that there should be no insinuation
that the liquor traffic is a crime or
ofense, or even in any way wrong.
Now we would like to know why this
business should be taxed if it is right.

same tax that was paid by the man

Gus. and Fritz went to the Postoice. Gus is not
handsome man at best, walks like stringhalt cow

does not like. AS he went into the Postoffce his
upper lip flew up and wrapped itself around his nose

have gotten away. Biegel was seized from behind,
and thus ended the fight. Gus. wasn't any prettier
after the fight than he had been BEFORE and there is
not perhaps woman in the State who would have
kissed him as he came back from the Postofice.

OUR young friend (?) David T.

Hill, called on US on Tuesday of last

matter drop. 1t is question of We

our friends, land enemies too, if we
have any, that we do not think Mr..
Morgan would injure us if he could,
or could do so if he would, for the

bers at this time Of year as it has now,
in any of the 36 years it has been
published; it has more bona .fde, paid
up subscriptions than any other two
papers in the county; it has received
more money on subscription since
January 1, 1888, than any other two
papers in the county; it has done
more job work in the past nine
months than any other two papers in
the county, and it has all the adver-
tisements for which it has space, and
we are serene and happy.

History of the Lower Scfoto Valley.

The want has long been felt by citizens of full
and elaborate history of this part of State from its
earliest settlement to the time. Many of the
counties Ohio have had their early settlement and
growth thus recorded in permanent form, but, until
now, move has been made towards the compilation
and publication of the history of this region The
Lower Scioto Valley has very interesting early
history, and we all know, has grand and glorious
future. The Inter State Publishing Company have
had long experience in the publication of historical
works. s. T. Jervis, Secretary of the company is
here for the purpose of looking the ground and
if he sufficient encouragement the work will be
issued within ayear, under the title of the Lower
Scioto Valley"
This firm has force of experienced writer's, and
they contemplate beginning operations here very
soon. history Of the valley, containing over a
thousand quarto pages this promises to be- ought
to be considered treasure in every household, and
will certainly considered by those interested in
the past, present and future of our locality.

to deep hole in the creek and throws in lot of corn,
which the catfish are exceedingly fond of, keeping

to catch his fattened fish he throws in the customary

In the report of the proceedings Of
the Supreme Court of Ohio, on
Wednesday of last week, we find this:
"7S. Ohio ex rel. E. W. Mitchell VS..
Commissioners Of Marion County.
Motion for an alternative writ of
mandamus. Motion allowed" y,
Our Ed. Mitchell and Mr.. Mccoy,
of Marietta, who are building our
new jail, put in the lowest bid for
building a Court House in Marion
County, and rendered the required Sc
curity, but the County Commissioners,
for some reason, refused to accept
their bid, and Mitchell is after them
in the Supreme Court Of the State.
We know nothing about the merits of
the case; but it will not do to fool
too much with Ed. Perhaps be-
fore they get through with him, these
Commissioners may find out that they
have taken the wrong sow by the ear.
Mr.. MITCHELL has been a resident
Of Jackson for about fifteen years,
and is well known to our people as a
mechanic of superior ability, and a
man who understands what he is doing.
We learn that the bond which he ten
dered to the Commissioners of Marion
county was signed by some four or
five of our most wealthy and prudent
citizens men who do not recklessly
or carelessly put their names upon
other mems paper. We have no doubt
that Mr.. Mitchell could have given
bond in this case, if required, in the
sum of half million dollars.
