their correctness, so that every detail in the

offset in the section lines can be implicitly relied
on as correctly represented: Tits the first map
published showing the boundaries of 81 new
counties. ali railroads comrleted, and the large
contiguous districts covered by land office sur
veya. The railroads are all accurately delineat-

BRUTAL MURDER OF FORMER
MoNoNGALIAN - CHARLES GRIFFITH
SHOT DEAD ALMOST In HIS Own
Door. = On Tuesday evening of last
week a horrible and blood thirsty
tragedy occurred at Lloydsville, Ohio
"a tragedy which is full of painful
interest to many people of this county.
The particulars as we have them are
as follows: For two years or more a
'grndge has existed between Charles
Griffith and Emmitt Mitchell, a
worthless and dangerous young man
of that community. During the last
year Griffith's life has been one of
fear and terror, Emmitt having fire.
quently threatened to kill him. The
immediate cause of the grudge we
have not been able to learn. On
Tuesday evening Mitchell, armed
with revolver, proceeded to the
house of Griffith, called him out, in
terchanged few words, leveled his
weapon with sure and deadly aim and
the poor old man fell..dead at his feet,
pierced through the brain. The
blood thirsty william Immediately fed
the country followed by the Sheriffs
Marshals and Deputies. The whole
county is excited and should he be
caught he will likely swing without
going through the formalities of a
trial.
Mr.. Griffith was peaceful, honor
able and upright citizen and always
highly respected. He was born and
raised in this county aud was broth
er of Benjamin H. Griffith, of Clinton
district. He was about 60 years q
age and leaves wife and grown son.
Mitchell has very.bad reputation
and was frequently found to be too
familiar with the cup. 1t is presnm.
ed that he was under the influence of
liquor at the time he fired the fatal
shot.
Fhe numerous relatives and friends
Of the murdered man have the earn
est spmpathies of all the friends of
right and all the enemies of wrong.

virtues bear witness to her fidelity to
its teachings. Always modest and
unassuming, the rarest acts of grace
came from her with no Pharisaical
import
Even in the supreme trial of her
faith, she was not found wanting,
but was able to say, "Thy will be

pervades the town. She was well

character was the beautiful impress
of years of careful soul culture Gen
tleness of demeanor, vivacity of man
ner, refinement of feeling, generosity
of disposition and a charity that
covered the failings and brought
out the virtues of all who came with.
in her influence, were her chief char
acteristics. Tender, true, discerning,
loving. She was a friend to depend
upon. The story of her ministry is
with the angels and in the hearts of
those who weep to-day that she is

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FATAL.-It
seems that the era of accidents has
come. Last Friday Mad McVicker
undertook the task of cleaning out
John Vangilder's well near town.
The well was about 30 feet deep and
had not been cleaned for 20 years.
In order to satisfy himself that it
was not filled with fire damp, he first
lighted bundle of straw and threw
it into the well. Finding it safe in
that particular he descended a ladder
and found the we'll filled with the
smoke of the burning straw. In at
tempting to come out again he was
so blinded by the smoke that he miss
ed his footing and fell to the bottom,
some eight or ten feet below. A rope
was Immediately let down and fas.
tened around his senseless body.
On being brought to the top of the
ground he soon revived, and it was
found that what might have been a
fatal accident had luckily proved to
be only bruises, bumps and a serious
shock.

That CLEVELAND PLUM. Mr.. G..
M. Burris, of Mt Morris, sent to this
office Oh Saturday one Of the largest
plums we ever saw. 1t was 81 inches
in circumference and must have been
an English plum, though Charley
says it was Cleveland plum There
may be some analogy between that
and the fact that so many English
men who are now citizens of this
country are for Cleveland. Anyway
it was monster plum and shows
commendable enterprise on the part
of the trifty fellow who raised it,.
Charley always manages to have the
best of everything.
