GAINESVILLE. fO.i Cor New York Sun
Upon one of the many hills surrounding
this old Ohio city is beautiful homestead
which overlooks the smoky expanse of the
town and the shining course of the Musk
lngum river Thirty years ago young
preacher walked down the hill from
this home heavy at heart and
weary Of the world Two years
before he had come to GAINESVILLE
fresh from the old collegiate institu-
ton in Columbus as the Rev IL d. L.
Webster He soon fell in love with Ella
BloNom the daughter of Judge Bloxom
who sang in the choir of his church He
was privileged as pastor to call upon his
fair ehorister at the home of her married
sister, Mrs. Henry Blandy. The young
penniless preacher proposed marriage to
her, and was rejected. The refusal was
given ia a kind though firm manner, and
the young man persuaded himself that his
suit was denied because of his poverty and
the pride of the girls family He left
GAINESVILLE, for he could not be at peace
where the woman he loved was shining in
society
In 1856 he moved to Racine, and soon
afterward wrote song and gave it to J
p. Webster, the composer. This sons
was the once popular 'sLorena- In ii
Webster wrote the sentiments of his hear
To the memory OF the woman he had loved
People who remember the songs of twenty
years ago will readily recall the opening
lines:
The years creep slowly by, Lorena;
The snow is on the grass again,
The suns low down the sky, Lorena,
The frost CLEANS where the fiow'rs have
been;
But the heart throbs on warmly now
As when the summer days were nigh.
Oh, the sun can never dip so low
Adown affections cloudless sky.
In the davs of the war the song took a
firm hold on the popular fancy. Soldiers
in the camps of both armies sang the plain
tive verses 1t was the Annie Laurie" of
to all sorts OF things, and young fa5ffesy 81
to-day respond 10 the same musical name
which sentimental mothers of that time
bestowed upon them
W hen 1t became known that Webster
wrote the song many of his acquaintance
in GAINESVILLE remembered his love affair
there. and concluded at once that Ella
Bloxom was the original of Lorena. Miss
Bloxom was married to William w. John
ston, young lawyer of Ironton, who had
been educated in GAINESVILLE. and who is
now the chief Justice of Ohio and the Re
publican candidate for selectman MIR

THE PROSPECTS IN INDIANA.

HE fkOSREO10 In ANDAANA
Parties in Indiana are so evenly bal
anced that the State Is generally con-
ce1ed to be . doubtful one, and can
only be carried by the most thorough
organization and the most persistent
effort When the Republicans have
fully exerted themselves they invariably
succeed, it is only through the lack OF
proper effort that they suffer defeat In
the last six presidential contests they
have failed to carry the State but once,
their defeats being scored usually when
the contests were less important and
less effort was made These facts show
that the Republicans have it in their
power at all times to carry the State II
they are fully determined to do so, and
work faithfully to that end. Thorough
organization is the important step to-
ward success, and has never yet failed
to lead to victory. Such organization
should embrace every township and
school district, and should be joined in
as far as practicable By every Republi-
can voter. There should be perfect
harmony and good feeling, and perfect
concert of action between those engaged
in the work of the canvass. Ii any who
are placed in charge of this work at
tempt to use their positions to mar this
harmony and good feeling through any
private motives of favor or revenge
they should be displaced at once and
their work assigned to more faithful
hands.
The prospects in Indiana at this time
are most cheering for the Republicans,
the people seem to be awake and wild
with enthusiasm even before the can
vass is formally opened Meetings are
being spontaneously held and largely
attended before the committees
have had time to think of ar
ranging for them. This is largely
due to the fact that the Republicans of
Indiana are in earnest in the support OF
their principles and that they have the
men OF their choice on the different
tickets to be supported. Whatever
efforts may have been made to place an
Indiana man on the presidential ticket,
it was apparent even before the conven-
ton met that the great body of Indiana
Republicans were for Blaine, and that
the addition of Logan has but filed
more fully the measure of their salts
faction. These names have proved
tower of strength in this State, and
have organized victory before the ma
chinery of the party has been brought
into use. It will only require the ordi
nary good sense of the managers to
swell this tide of enthusiasm into an
irresistible force in November next.
The State ticket is equallyacceptable.
There is not an unworthy or objection
able candidate upon it, and all will
do their part in the work of
the canvass. Thus with the party har
united and enthusiastic, with
requires tine s}s,ssiaS 1a it only
Dictated above, to insure that every Re
publican vote is polled, to secure Re
publican triumph in Indiana and add to
the party majority throughout the coun-
try. That this will be done we have no
doubt, and while we would not under
rate the work to be done, or encourage
any over confidence, we believe with the
prospects before US that Indiana is no
longer doubtful State in the present
canvass

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN 1884.

From the edition of Messrs. Geo. P.
P. Rowell & Co.'s American Directory, now
in press, il appears that the newspapers and
periodicals of all kinds at present issued in
the United States and Canada reach a grand
total Of l3,4O2. This is a net gain of pre-
cisely 800 during the last twelve months,
and exhibits an increase of 5,618 over the
total number published just ten years since.
The increase in 1884 over the total for 1874
was 493. During the past year the dailies
have increased from 1888 to 1854; the
weeklies from 9,O62 to lO,O9S; and the month
lies from 1901 to 1899. The greatest in
crease is in the Western States. Illinois,
for instance, now shows ,OO9 papers in place
of last years total of 9O4, while Missouri
issues sO4 instead Of the 523 reported in
1883. Other leading Western. States also
exhibit q great percentage of increase. The
total number of papers in New York State
is 1928, against 1899 in 1888. Canada has
shared in the general increase.

OF the voters Of North Carolina there are
1854 who cannot read. These are divi
.ded between the two races as follows: White
voters, ts,als; eolored voters, s7,07e. Total
population, l,ssa75o. Total population who
cannot read ten years of age and over, se7,

ton, 5s9,5os, Iotal colorsd population, zen
years Of an 4nd over, who cannot write,
27i,sls; percentage Of total colored popula-
ton whseannot write, IA. The above fig
ures are from the United States census re.
turns of 1880. Referring to the census of
1901 find the following figures: Total
population in 1870, 1911 1851. Total popu-
lation, ten years of age and over, who could
not read, 339,1S9. Thus it will be seen we
had in North Carolina in 1880 more persons
ten years of age and over who could not
read than we had in 1870 by 2s,l0l. This is
an increase of illiterate persons of the age
mentioned in the ten years of 8 per cent.
We had in 1870, according to the census of
that year, 33,lll white voters who could not
read. In 1880 we had 5S,2lS illiterate white
voters, an increase in ten years, if the fig
ures are to be relied on, of q ,lO7; per cent.
of increase, 1853. In 1870 we had 1860
illiterate colored voters. In 1880 we had
S6,O76 i~lliterate colored voters an increase
in ten years of 1S,4O7; per cent. of increase
1858. The total illiterate voters in 1870 was
l0l, $50. The total illiterate voters in 1880
was las, 294. Increase in ten years, 43,5l4;
per cent. of increase, 1915.
Our present condition, as shown by these
figures, and the remedies to be applied, de.
mand and should receive the best and most
careful thoughts of the members of the Leg
~islature. Something must be done if we are
to displace ignorance, with all its evils, and
substitute intelligence with the accompany
ing blessings.
