UNIONTOWN.

SPACE will not admit of our making
notice of the changes made in this
town through removals and otherwise,
but they will be much more numerous
than for several years. We will lose
some of our good citizens and gain some
we trust to take their places.
DR.. 5. d. KRIM, who was for a few
years a resident of Uniontown, is now
located at Martins Ferry. The DR.. was
esteemed highly as a worthy, honorable
man, and one skilled in his profession,
and we feel that a cordial welcome will
be accorded him by the people of the
city to whom he tenders his profession
al services.
WE are informed that Mr. Henderson
Hays will from his herd offer for sale
three of bis fine milch cows, one fresh,
and two to calve soon. Those who de
sire something good and nice. in that
line can give him call.
Mr.. VIM. M. KILGoRE and family re-
moved to GAINESVILLE on Wednesday.
This is loss to rot only the town but
the entire community, as he and his
brother, Mr.. w. V. Kilgore, were count
ed among the most enterpristng men of
the county. They introduced steam
threshing, and have for years operated
engines, saw mills and threshers, Mr..
VIM. Kflgore being the inventor of an
important improvement in traction and
road engines. Mrs. Kilgore is lady
highly esteemed in the church, the mis-
sionary society. and social circle, and all
who know the family sincerity regret
their departure.
Mr.. Jos. TEMPLE and family, and al
so Messrs. John and William Gillespie
and families, who left the vicinity on
Tuesday, have the regard and best
wishes of their many friends.
Rev. Jos G. LYLE and wife came up
from Wheeling on Monday. Rev. W m.
Ferguson was in town on the same day.
MIR. Lyle Tannehill, one of Guernsey
county's solid men. and good teacher,
was here to assist Mr.. Temple in mov-
ing. -. Master Harvey Coleman, one of
Maynard bri htest boys, was on Wis
it to relatives last week. -. Mr. F. A
Coup, an enterprising grocer and shoe
dealer from Piedmont, visited his home
on Monday. Master Freddie Rob
reicht and sister, OF Bridgeport, paid
their sister brief visit a few days
since. -. Miss Jennie Temple received
as a surprise gift AZ squares for quilt
from her schOOlmates and friends. III.

Obituary.

From Standard Of the Cross, March Is.
WALLACE-Died, at Brownsville, Pa, on
Wednesday morning. eth of March, 1888,
Dorcas NJ, wife of John Wallace, aged
about so years.
The deceased, daughter Of the late VIII
meth and Sarah Jene>, was born ia st Glars
Vile, o., wnere the earlier years OF her life
was spent; from the time Of her marriage in
1856, her home was at Brownsville. She
possessed UNUSUAL intellectual gifts, and a
taste for literature which she had cultivated
by extensive reading; aud her intelligence
and brightness ot disposition made her u very
attractive member Of the society in which she
moved. Brought up in 1.-The nurture and ad-
monition of the Lord, she became protesting
Christian al an early age; and during all the
years of her married life she was good and
faithful member of the parish of which her
husband was so long a vestrymsn and warden.
Her last sickness (of four weeks duration)
was attended by great suffering which, in
the power Of Gods grace, she endured pa
tiently and triumphantly. When her grief
stricken husband and children sought to COM
fort her by repeating to her texts Of Scrip
ture and verses of her favorite hymns, she
comforted them in turn, by bidding them not
weep for her, and testifying that the Lord
gave her ''perfect peace and perfect JOY"
Her mortal remains were consigned to their
last resting place, in the hsllowed burying
ground of Christ Church, on Friday afternoon,
March 9th.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. /"

The Spring Elections.
A Mixed Result Throughout the

The Scratcher Causes Mixed Tickets

Fhe elections at the different cities
end towns in the State on Monday, pass

OF interest being taken, as IS usual at
spring elections, and small vote poiled
at most places. The scratcher was
abroad and got in a great deal of work,
so complicating results that not much
can be said of the result in general.

A BILL has passed the lower house of
the General Assembly of Ohio, provi-
ding for the partition and sale of the
Newark and Columbus divisions of the
Central Ohio railroad, being the 80 miles
of the old Central Ohio road, lying be-
tween Newark and Columbus. Under
existing contracts the Baltimore & Ohio
and Pan Handle roads are tenants in
common of this division and operate
the road in common, it being the only
direct line between the points named.
For some time there has been difficulty
between the operating companies re-
garding its management, &c, and the
to compel a partition of the property
which they have on tive occasions We
believe, refused to order. The. measure
now pending interests the townships of
Belmont county to the extent of $4,000
or more in stock, and individual stock
holders in the county in the sum of
100000. 1t is well known that until
recently the stock of the Central Ohio
has been greatly deprecated, paying but
light dividends. For the past few years,
hswever, through its. lessees, it has
been made valuable property. until now
the stock is above par. 1t appears to
US that if the State of Ohio should step
in and evict the B s. o Co. from its lease
of part of the Central Ohio line, that
they will have the legal right to aban-
don the lease of the whole line, and
should they assert their rights, the stock
would be practically valueless. In any
contest where these two powerful cor
porations are alone interested, we have
nothing to do, but in this matter, which
appears to involve the property interests
of the people of this county, in their be-
half. we protest against al.v legislative
action which will in any degree sacrifice
those interests, and We hope that the
Senator from this district will be on
guard to protect them.
