Compare Them!

This community was shocked and
startled by the crime Of the young man
recently executed here, and excited over
his execution. Yet John W. Jackson's
crime was only one of its class, and the
young man professed to die penitent and
forgiven of his sins. He has passed from
earth, and it is not ours to judge him.
Yet his crime, dark as it was, is not to be
compared, in point of horror and iniquity,
to the devilment done by the men who
are engaged in the traffic in intoxicating
liquors. Jackson killed man; the dog
gery-keeper not only kills men, but de-
stroys whole families; Jackson cast a
cloud of gloom and sorrow over one home; !;
the doggery-keeper may desolate hun
dred happy homes, and do it without fear
of the law; the work of the doggery-
keeper is seen every day in the miserable
wrecks of humanity that are seen reeling
and tumbling about the streets; what
mother is it who would not rather have
son stricken down by the hand of an as
sassin than to have him dragged through
the public streets, day after day, by police
officers? What father would not rather
have son quietly sleeping in the ceme-
terry than bowling and jabbering in the
drunken, broken sleep of the whisky
maniac2
A good deal has been said for and
against the possibility of the salvation of
Jackson's soul-yet we would rather have
John w. Jackson's chances in eternity
to-day than the chances of any dOggery-
keeper in this town.
Jackson was an intelligent, warm
hearted boy, and was led by others into
the commission of the one great crime of
his life. The doggery-keeper makes an
everyday business of leading men into
crime. Jackson attributes his own down.
fall to his association with doggery-keep-
ers, and, compared with the doggery-
keepers life, the life of Jackson, bad as it
was, presents by far the more beautiful
picture.
We would that every one who looked
into the happy, smiling countenance OF
the doomed boy as he marched from the
jail to the gallews had, for the sake Of
comparison, looked across the street and
taken just one glance at the horrid coun-
tenance of the doggery-keeper who had
been selling his stuff nearly the whole
forenoon, almost directly opposite the
gallows. There is not doggery-keeper
in the State of Ohio who is not greater
enemy to society than was John w. Jack
son, yet we occasionally hear men with
noses like rotten beets, solemnly giving
their opinion that 'Jackson's soul is not
saved"

Dull Times,

We hear a great deal of complaint
among our business men about dull times.
Not long ago we took walk about town,
and found several men sitting in front of
their stores, with their clerks sitting
around them, all in kind of half dreamy
condition. We asked them why they
were not selling goods. They said they
had no customers just then. We told
them Gin joke) that they did not deserve
any customers, as they never asked peo-
pie to trade with them-they did not ad-
vertise.
Now you just 60 to o. S. Miller's store
and see if he and his clerks ever have time
to lounge and loaf in front of his store
Not much. He advertises, and keeps a
full stock of goods. Result, a fine trade

"I'D like to have you hit me two or
three times" said Frank Wright to Jack
Davis, on last Friday morning. Frank
halls from Maryland, and is shoemaker
by trade ct was evident he needed a
half-soling on that day. Not getting any
response to his remark, he put avery dirty
fist under Jacks nose, when Jack pushed
him, and as he turned Wright side around,
Jack let fly at his most prominent feature
with his foot. "Well that's one of them,' y
said Wright, NOW fur the other two"-
but before he received the other two
blows, Constable Emory Arthur put in
an appearance, and put Wright into the
calaboose. He was brought before Mayor
James and sent to Jail. Wright is mus

collision with that boot, he sings the song
of his native land:
The despot's heel is on thy shore.

A FEW days ago a man went into

A FEW days ago man went into the
store of Farrar s. Evans and began to
price canned goods, saying that he had
been in the habit of buying them by the
case, and wanted an extern
sive bill of goods. Asa Farrar, with his
well-known politeness, flew around and
stacked up goods to the amount of some
twenty dollars. "Have you hams?" ask
ed the patron. "Oh, yes" Asa had hams.
A fine ham was added to the bill. "Tll
be around in the morning, AMI take the
goods away and give you check for
them" said the customer, as he started
out. OF course it was all right with Asa,
but the customer turns back. Would
Asa just hand him thirty cents in change
anG add it to the bill? Oh, yes, certain
lyl The customer took his thirty cents
and walked out. The bill of goods are
there yet, but the thirty cents is not. Asa
has been posing before a mirror ever
since, trying to detect if there really Il
anything green in his eye.

Good Words for a Good Thing,

All things are not humbugs, nor are all
statements facts. DR.. David Kennedy's
"Favorite Remedy" is exactly what it
claims to be. Hear a word from Mr.. Is
rael II. Snyder, of Saugerties N. Y. He
says: "My little daughter was covered
with Salt Rheum from head to foot. DR..
Kennedy's 'Favorite Remedy cured her
altogether, and the disease has never
since appeared. This was two years ago"
Such words go to the point. Get "Favor-
ite Remedy" of your Druggist, or write to

If man is hungry within an hour
more or less after meal he is dyspeptic,
it shows his stomach is not able to dispose

and thus impose more work, is absurdity.
