OBITUARY.,
Jason &, Noble.

Another good man is laid to rest after
brief illness of three weeks, involving
heart and lungs. MIR. Jason G. Noble
died at his home III Freedom, Saturday
morning, May Ath, very suddenly and
unexpectedly, causing Il shock TO his
friends and relatives and increasing the
number of deaths TO three that have Oc-
Cured i'll that house during the past
year: that of Mrs. q. V. Scarf Mr.. ASah-
el H. Searl, Mrs Mobiles father, and now
Mr.. Noble. Truly this has been an al
tlicted house, but Mrs. Noble has the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire COM
munity i'll which She lives i'll this her
greatest sorrow and loneliness.
Mr.. Noble was IS years old. lie was
born i'll Vermont, but came to ohio i'll
early boyhood with his parents, the late
Darius Noble and wife. In 1852 he was
married to Sophia j. Searl, sister of H: L..
and o. V. Scarf, of Ravenna, o., and Dr.
II. +. Searl, of Fairfield, O. For about
20 years they have resided iii Freedom,
this county, OIL the old home farm, where
they went ut the solicitation of his father
who i'll his advanced age required assist
ance and care. About II years ago his
father died and Jason came into posses
sion of the farm where he lived, anu con-
tinued to reside there until he died, leaV-
ing, as has been truly SAID, Il Sood name
and a host of friends. Indeed few men de-
voted so much of life to the comfort and
happiness of Others as did Jason G. Noble.
Eight years ago he united with the
Congregational church of Freedom and
was one of its Deacons at the time OF his
death OF his fathers family Mr.. Noble
is survived by five brothers, Henry D..
and Royal of Windham, o., Philo of
Bryan. o., Roland D., of Cleveland, o.,
and Nolney NJ, Of Kansas.
The funeral took place from their home
Monday, May 18th. The singing was ap-
propriate and impressive, as We're also

J. Powell, suggested by the 25d and 24th
verses of Psalm 81. 'Ihc steps of a good
man are ordered by the Lord: and he
deliGhteth in his way" Though he fall
he shall not be utterly cast down: for
the Lord upholdeth him with his hand" "
After which the bearers, Samuel G. Olds,
John Porter, Albert Williams and Ed
ward Thayer took charge of the remains
and deposited them in their last resting
place i'll the cemetery at Drakesburgh.

we have had the exclusive sale of the
Rockf ford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OThER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money to advertise goods not
in stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave it. They know that we
are not a travelling experimental insti-

Miller brought his Cadets on the Pub

AT last the suspense is over, and now
the people know who is to be the head.
1t did not take them long to decide
after getting down to business, for
VanNess being the best advertised
and most popular man, was nominated
on the first ballot. His business in
Ravenna being of so much greater i'm
portance than the White House, he
will hire cheap man to occupy the
chair, as the people like to have him

VanNess, for he is bigger now than

TAL@A AND NAPOLEON.-I once heard
an Old dramatist relate an anecdote, which
may or may not have found its way into
print. AS long ago as l7SS or 1889 he was
walking in the Rue st. Honore with his
friend Talma, then at the commencement
OF his career, when a young officer in
shabby Lieutenant's uniform met them. and
said 20 the actor Remember to-mor-
row Talma nodded assent and the other
passed on. WHO is that ?" INQUIRED nv
informant. 1.-The torment of my life. ="
was the reply. "A young fellow without
sou, who is continually plaguing me for
tickets of admission to the theater. Not
bad judge, l must say" he continued.
Knows all our classics by heart. and
won't listen to anything but Corneille and
Racine. Some twenty years later the two
friends CHANGED to meet again in the Place
du Carfousa, at the very moment when
Napoleon was starting for his daily ride.
On seeing Talma be stopped his horse and
spoke few words to him. When he had
LETT them the tragedian, turning to his com.
panlop, asked if he recolected the Young
lieutenant who used formerly to bother
HIM for tickets. On the latter confessinp
that he had quire forgotten the circum-
stance, "Ah," observed Talma, az have
more reason TO remember him than you
have. He is Emperor now, and am still
a poor devil of an actor but you see that
he has not forgotten me. Only" he added.
with smile, she has no need to ask me
for free admission now !'-TLoupman's

every county in the State at the next State
Fair in September, with . view to their
ultimate transportation to New Orleans,
where the Exposition opens in December.
This is good plan. and if successfully
carried out will do much to promote desir-
able immigration to this State. Last year
Sonoma county had at the State Fair an
exhibit of the products of that agricultural
and fruit section. 1t was the object of
universal attention. 1t must have occurred
to every observer that if each of the fifty.
two counties had made corresponding indie
pendent exhibitions, they would, in
the aggregate, have constituted the finest
exhibit ever shown at an annual exposition
of industry and agriculture. The Sonoma
exhibit, in connection with others, was
sent from here to the State Fair of Illinois,
where it attracted great attention and was
the theme for the broadcast compliments to
CALIFORNIA; soil. 1t is prime necessity to
this State that California should employ
every agency possible to place at New
Orleans large and thoroughly representa-
tive exhibit, and since our State Fair pre-
cedes the Exposition to be held at the
South, the necessity for action by the State
Board of Agriculture is all the more press.

posed will materially check the alcohol
habit. It needs more radical treatment by
far. 1t is simple folly to teach child in
the school-room that "wine Is mocker
and strong drink is raging, if at home the
brandy bottle is convenient to his lips. and
the teacher who proses to him gives the
lie to his teaching by his practice. No
virtue will flow from physical study of the
infiamed condition Of the inner coat of the
stomach in the moderate drinker, the tip
pier, the drunkard and the sot, if the legis-
lators, School Directors, officials, pastors
and parents confuse the child's judgment
by the inconsistency of their habit with
their dictation of the study he shall pur-
sue. We have no faith whatever in all
these plans of prevention, so long as the
human appetite is assailed by temptation
on every hand in its most seductive forms.

a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

There should be made in this State some
provision for the adult INDECENT blind.
Their plea is a pitiful one. They report
discouragingly concerning recent efforts
made by them to secure the aid necessary
to establish them in a home where they
could earn their living. At present they
are, for the most part, driven upon the
street to beg. Here is broad field and a
golden opportunity for few wealthy men,
by the endowment Of proper institution,
to do world OF good, and minister to a
most unfortunate class of people. Most Of
the d" Homes for the Adult Blind have
been made self-suppoItipg so far as cur.
rent expenses are concerned, and it would
probably prove true in this State. The
one thing needed is the capital in hand to
found home and fit it properly for labor
by the blind, who are poor in worldly
goods. The recent meetings OF the blind
in San Francisco have received newspaper
attention, but nothing more, and the few
who came cropping to the call went away as
hopeless as ever, and resumed their places
upon the street.corners, begging for few
dimes to keep the wolf from the door.
This should not be. This State owes it
to herself to gather in these people,
snatch them from merdicancy, remove
them from the streets, and make it possible
for them to realize that the bread they eat
is not entirely that of charity.

1kComPgrEScY IN LEADERSHIP.

The recent domes TIC troubles in one of
the most prominent of the temperance or.
CARNATIONS of this coast have made public
the fact that there is lack Of good leader
ship in the Order, that speaks of internal
weakness. For it is truth beyond deny.
ing, however much We may boast OF the
democratic sentiment peryading cur insti
tuition, that our najorities, our organized
civilizing and progressive efforts, neod to
be led. leaders are necessary, as well as
the men of the file. Society must have its
rallying standards, and these must be
borne worthily. Whenever following be-
gins to doubt its leaders, or factions asssil
them, their usefulness is being measured
by narrow limits, and their incompetency
begins to develop, for the competent lead
ers quell risings, command the following,
and use it to its full capacity. Any energy
expended in internicine warfare IN an
Order arrayed by its purposes against
great evil, is a respite to the enemy, and
evidences lack of generslship that oppoai-
tion will surely avail of. Incompetency
of leadership opens the joints of the armor
and llts IN weapon points that take the
life of organization. We cannot but
regret that this should occur in any So
ciety, the aims and purposes of which are
Tor the amelioration of the condition OF
men and the lettering OF humanity. But
the spectacle has been presented, to use
vulgarism, OF leaders wiping the door
with each other, of factions sworn to
brotierly and sisterly love " nagging at
each other, OF clans aud cliques and divi.
sions brawling in the Courts, and of
standard bearers laying down the colors to
wrestle for thistles. Whatever else these
people, who have the opportunity to do SO
much for men, are proving, they are estsb-
fishing beyond doubt incapacity for leader
ship.
