Green Camp. Ohio. died June 9th. 1884, She was
born in Unity Township. Columbiana County.
Ohio, June 18th. 1926; married November 9th,
lS43. She was the mother of eleven children
five sons and six daughters-one son and three
daughters deceased. At her death she was So
years and days old. She had been member of
the M. Z. Church for many years. She was good
and loving wife. and kind and affectionate moth
er, and the center of attraction in the household,
and during her long and painful sickness of more
than eight months. every act of kindness and
sympathy from her husband and children was
bestowed upon her that love and money could
give. But death had marked her as its victim,
and she passed away from the mists and clouds
of this checkered life to that country whose in
habitants never say | am sick"
when those we love on earth are seen no more,
We mourn to think they gone hefnrei
But if a pang amidst eternal rest
Could ever reach the b0sOms of the blest,
If grief in heaven could one weak moment find,
Would thee not mourn that we are left behind?"

THE laborlng classes of this country have 1t last had a recognition at the na- tionsl capital. A few days since Q bill passed tue House of Representatives, creating a bureau of statistics, which was. at the time, mentioned in the Orr ZEN. There are measures in the bill which elicit discussion. In speaking for the bill Representative Hopkins said:
 Some spasmodic and feeble efforts had been made to supply this want, and that theories would continue to be advocated and coutroyerted until some well-estaD- lished touchstone could be applied, which would crystalize them into facts or dls- nel them IS dreams. In asklug for the passage of this bill he said he was speak ing in behalf of over ten millions of lab orers in tais country who were anXlous- ly watching these proceedings. HIS House os Representatives had shown disposition to atone for neglect by creat- inc a committee to consider all matters nertaining to labor. This recognition, he claimed, had been gratefully appreci- sted. and the eyes of the tollers were turned to Congress with an earnest hope and expectation that their welfare would be thourhtfully considered. He did not evDsct fms measure would be panacea for inc ills that afilict the labOringman; but thought it would enable Congress to obtain that knowledge of their sltuA- tion which IS essential to any just lesls- Iation in their interest. Representative RIout. of Georgia,objected to tha. clause of the bIll which proposes to make in- entries into the sanitary. educational, social and religious condition Of the la- bo-inr classes, and asked by what au- fbority iuouIry could be made about the rol,gious condition of any citizen: And Nr. Hopkins replied that 1t was done tbrough the census bureau. Congress man Fielder, of New Jersey, speaking ;n behalf of the measure, said expenence had taught him that the ballots of sue ces-fuI candidates had scarcely been counted ere their memory failed them and they neglected to carry out the nIedges which were made during the campaign to seduce the men ot toll to elevate them into office.
 It is an experiment, and one that we should like to see tried. It can do no harm and it might do good, and 1t might Ina the means of drawing a line between capitaI and labor, if such tniDg Is pos sible. The bill is in the Senate and will be considered, not from political stand
 point, but upon its merits

HE grand jury called to sit upon new
 school house matter went into session
 to-day. This is grave matter. not only
 to the public, but to those who have
 been directly interested in its construc-
 tlon-the board of trustees, the architect
 and the builder. We are told by each
 that the school building is unsafe. The
 last grand jury which was unable to
 finish its work, led it "death trap."
 The question the present grand jury is
 to determine is, who Is to blame for the condition in which the school building IS found upon it's completion. This community has known Messrs. Drake. Mason aud Scott, the trustees, Judge
 Wood, county superintendent, Architect Petit and Contractor DOherty long tune; while somebody is at fault and we sincerely condemn the party who is to blame, even though through neglect or ignorance, We cannot believe that these men would deliberately plan to defraud the people. It is matter of so public nature and so little swag in it, that men who have the reputation of ''being crooked" would hardly undertake it. The members of the school board stand in all phases of life above suspi- cion so far as We know. They have lived so long in this community, without talnt that reflection css. upon their good names seems unusually harsh and unjust and the community will be 10th to believe they are guilty of any crime n the matter; but the question which is costing the people so much money to determine, and fix the blame, is a serious one, and wherever the blaure falls, # will fall hard, no matter who they are or for what cause-i-nora0oe, criminal negli- gence or deliberate fraud. Again. We cauhon the grand jury in its -delibera- tions. The duty they have to perform is one that will call forth the best, un- biased judgment that honest, true men can bring to bear upon this delibera- -ion. Let no guilty man escape" but do not make mistake and punish the wrong party.

 EDITOR CITIZEN: The past week was one of considerable interest to our mountain town.
 The Rev. ". George was here and gave Us some of his inimitable readings from the poets and humorists. The rendition of them was of the very highest order. The Dream of Eugene Aram-by Hood; The Revenge-by TennysOu; re- vealed Mr. Georges great tragic power. Buck Fanshow's funeral by Mark Twain was so well read that 1t set the house to laughing and roaring.
 The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens was well rendered and first brought laughter then tears alternating throughout the evening. He Is a grand success as reader. If eny society or church wants an evenings intellectual amCsing enteT tainment they can't do better secure his services. The result of the reading here was to pay off the last vestige of debt from tue Pinal church.
 On Sunday be preached a rousing sermon; subject: Man proposes, but God disposes." His illustrations were drawn from all departments of science, literature and history and art, were pointed and unique.
 It still rains up here and our horses and cattle are very fat. The Silver King mill and mlne are again under full head way and the '76 mill here has beer rented by the King company, and will start up in few days. The Pinal Re- duction Works is also under full head way. Business Is picking up little.

How to Get Along.

Don't stop to tell stories in business hours. If you have Q place of business, be found there when wanted.
 No man can get rich sitting around stores and saloons.
 Never "foOT in business matters.
 Have order. system, regularity, ana also prCmptness.
 Do not meddle with business you know nothing of.
 Do not kick every one in your path.
 More miles can be made m day by going steadily than by stopping.
 Pay as you go. "A man of honor respects hls word as he does his bond.
 Help others when you can, but never give what you cannot afford to, simply because it is fashionable.
 Learn to say no. No necessity or snapping it out dog-fashion, but say It firmly and respectfully.
 Use your brains, rather than those or others. ',
 Learn to think and act for yourself.
 Keep ahead rather than behind the times.
 Young man, cut this out, and if there be any fallacy in the argument, let us know 1t.

TIE committee appointed to work up the Territorial Fair Association have issued a circular inviting the recipient or the same to meet with them at PhenIx on Saturday, May 10th, at ? o'clock ?. h., for the purpose of effect ing the necessary arrangements for the organization of such association. They say:
 You will readily appreciate the benefits that will accrue to our section thrcu h the institution of an associs- ton, having for its object the holding oi annual fairs. Not only will It afford brief season of recreation and amuse- meut to Us all, but will be conducive to our welfare lu inspiring healthful com petition in the cultivation Of our fields, orchards and vineyards; Tn the produc- ton of live stock, the work of our artisans, etc. The centrality of Phenix, the many admitted advantages which she presents in respect to agriculture, horticulture and vIticulture, and equi- distant to the heavy mineral producing sections of the Territory, make it ap- parent that tne proposed enterprise can ne slcces ssfully inaugurated at once before other communicates may take ste in the same direction.
 These reople ought to succeed and If our people can render any assistance let them do it. The fair should be held at Phenix. It has the start in agricul- tuJal matters and such an association could be started and maintained there with greater ease and less cost than at any point in the Territory.
