OF COURSE
They All Start at the Same Place!

Since writing our account of the Nor
gan case, we have received the Pike
County papers, both of which speak of
the young man. The Pike County Re
publican has this to say, concerning him:
Morgan was young man of bright in
tellect, and gave promise of high scholas-
tic attachments, until that terrible de-
stroyer of all things good in man, strong
drink, got a firm hold on him, and in
the place of the good traits was born
anew the spirit of the very devil. His
appetite got such control over him that
when it craved for the beverage and he
had not the means at hand to appease the
demon, he seized upon the first Opportu-
nifty, fair or foul, that came before him,
and that was to rob his own kin. Then
when he secured the booty he was off to
ChilIicothe. where he reveled in intem-
perance and Ieentiousness till natural in
stinct impelled him to larger field"
Justso A young man of bright promise,
ruined in his young manhood, and shut
up in a felon's cell, because of what? Be-
cause he must have money to give to the
doggery-keepers, for it is safe to say that
all Morgan's other shortcomings are at
tendant upon his appetite for drink. Here
life ruined, and the joy of a happy home
wiped out forever. in order that the gen.
tie and lovely doggery- keeper may get
money without working for it. This,
dear friends, is just what the doggery-
keeper is seeking to do for every home in
the land. Your own observation will at
test the truth of this.

name in print.

The bill known as the Pruden Bill,
has become law, through the action
of the Legislature last week. This
law relates to the selection of jurors.
Among other things it provides that
no habitual drunkard shall sit on a
jury. AS to the matter Of having
formed or expressed an opinion rela-
tive to the guilt or innocence of the
accused, the new law provides that
where a juror has so formed an opin-
ion, the Court shall examine him as
to his reasons for forming such opin-
ion, and if, in the judgment Of the
Court, and upon the statement Of the
juror, the latter can render an Impair
tial verdict, he will be competent
Juror. This law will do away with
the old-fashioned idea that man who
reads, or has sense enough to think
about what he hears, ought not to sit
upon a jury.
Again, what business has a habitual
drunkard upon jury? A man who
who has not sufficient judgment to
know how to behave himself, or take
care Of himself, is certainly not fit to
weigh questions Of equity in Court.
One indication that the new law is a
good thing is that the lawyers in the
Legislature vigorously opposed it, as a
general thing.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis, professional
traitor, of Mississippi, has again ap-
peared in public, having made visit
to the capital of Mississippi. This
appearance Of Mr.. Davis is in the ma
ture Of an object lesson to young
Democrats. Mr.. Davis was a distin-
guished Democratic President who
was shot out of office. Mr.. Tilden,
another Democratic President, who
was kicked out Of Office, should also
join the pageant, and parade before
the rising generation as a man who
sought to achieve greatness through
countless murders by his enthusiastic
young followers. Mr.. Davis should
call round at Andersonville and few
other points, if he would revive lively
memories of the past.

Nervousness.


The moment there is danger Of i'm
pairment Of the mind from excessive
nervous exhaustion, or where there
exists forebodings of evil, desire for
solitude, stunning and avoiding COM
pany, vertigo and nervous debility, or
when insanity has already taken place,
PERUNA should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never well to wait so long
before treatment is commenced. The
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
Of the muscles, dim or weak sight, pc
culiar expressions of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired diges-
ton; or in others certain powers only
are lost, while they are otherwise en-
joying comparatively good health.
In all these PERUNA should at once
be taken. march20-2w.

The papers of the neighboring counties
are giving some attention to Jackson
County's Congressional aspirations.
And well they may, for we are going to
make our neighbors look to their laurels
if they succeed in keeping the nomina-
ton outside of Jackson County. The
last number of the Waverly Watchman
has this to say:
cit seems that Hon. Fl. S. Bundy is not
to have the Congressional race all to him
self in Jackson County. We see that
Charley Atkinson, of Jackson, has SHE'D
his castor in the ring and has announced
his determination to make Rome howl
from now on to the day of the Conven-
tion."
And the last number of the Ironton
Register, this:
"Hon. Fl. S. Bundy is in town in con-
nection with some furnace business,
and also, to look after his Congressional
fences, for he is candidate for the Re
publican nomination. He would, indeed,
make very acceptable candidate and
make good race. When Mr.. Bundy was
in Congress before, he was a very faith
full representative"

the Democratice caucus, by an almost
unanimous vote, agreed to the passage
of a graded tax law.
The Columbus correspondent OF the
Commercial Gazette, gives it as the
language Of Leo Ebert, of Ironton,
President of the State Brewers Asso-
citation, that "a shout of Joy will now
go up from the river towns!''
Just so. But in place Of "shout Of
joy," put in the words drunken
howl" and you will have it. 1t has
been but few weeks since a shout
did go up from the river towns. A
shout went up from Mr.. Ebert's own
town of Ironton. 1t was a great,
swelling, boisterous, deafening shout.
It reached the skies, and set to work
every sacred influence which could
move the hearts and minds of men.
1t was the cry Of starving and freez-
ing women and children. 1.-THE river
towns" had to be supplied with neces-
saries of life from the interior towns
and cities. This furnishing of sup
plies was right, and too much praise
cannot be given to the good people
who sent them. But the ugly fact
stands forth that if the people of
these river towns could have had, dur
ing the flood, all the money wasted in
those places for whisky and beer,
during the last Ave years, there need
not have been any suffering.
Now that the waters have gone
down, we are told that there will be a
shout of joy that people will have an
opportunity to turn their attention
to drunkenness and crime again. We
trust, and believe, that Mr.. Ebert
ISLANDERS the people of the river
towns.
By this act of the Democratic eau
Gus, the majority display their eager
ness to be considered the whisky and
beer party-the advocates of, and
apologists for, drunkenness, crime and
ruin.

having a very dry and cold winter. There
has been but little rain or snow here this
winter, and part of the time very cold,
the thermometer at one time marking23
degrees below zero.
Live stock here is wintering pretty
well, there being an abundance of feed,
both grain and hay.
There are great many cattle and hogs
fattening in this county. as grain is plen-
ty and prices reasonable. With fat cattle
and hogs at high price, it makes the
business paying one. And for the man.
ner of feeding cattle, they are fed very
differently than they are (or used to beg
in Ohio. They are mostly fed on shelled
corn given to them in troughs.
Some feed on ear corn also in troughs,
but none that know of feed shock corn
on the ground, as used to be the custom
in Ohio. Feeders claim that cattle eat
too much fodder when fed in the shock
and there must be some truth in the
statement, for they get more weight on
them here than any place ever saw cat
tie fed. They will feed on from 800 to
400 lbs. of fat to the head.
Corn is worth 80 cts, Oats %, Rye 40,
Hay So to $3.50. Hogs fat, 81 to g.;
Shoats, to 61s; Cattle, fat, to 6 cts.

fine cattle country.
We have 95 head of cattle now, and
take care of them as easily as we could
half that number in Ohio, and the beauty
of our country is, we live in sober State,
not cursed with drunkenness as some
papers that Prohibition is as our present
Governor said, failure. But tell you
in most places they have to respect the
law, and the time is coming, and is not
far off, when temperance will rule in all
parts of the State. The emigration to
Kansas since the passage of the Prohibi-
tion clause, has been of that class that
will strengthen the temperance cause.

Probably three-fourths Of the young
men now in the Penitentiary commit
ted the crimes for which the were in
carcerated while under the influence Of
liquor. Why then should not part of
the money derived from saloons under
the Scott law be taken to build an in
termediate prison for this class Of
criminals? The courts sentence a man
for six months or year, for first
ofense, or comparatively trivial one,
and then the State compels him to as
sociate with murderers, highwaymen,
counterfeiters, forgers, and all manner
of unclean human beasts. Is this
right? Is it human? Is it likely to
lead to the mans reformation? Does
it not insure his utter ruin ?-Coluna-

human character was developed dur

An anymous correspondent sent a
snug sum Of money to a daily news
paper, with instructions to start a
fund for the relief Of sufferers, said
fund to be made up entirely of anony-

a flat failure. There were some two

Of the people could not be induced
to give merely for the sake Of giving.

The British soldiers now fighting
rebels in Egypt, have gotten hold of
foes who do not know when they are
whipped. In an engagement on last
Thursday it is claimed that between
three thousand and four thousand reb-
els were killed, and several thousand
wounded. These Arabs would run up
on the British troops-who were arm
ed with breech-loading ri1es-and
battle in hand to hand encounter, the
Arabs being armed with swords and
spears. The rebels would fight until
killed in their tracks.
