To NV Little Friends i'm Jackson.

TO MY LITTLE FRIENDSHIP doubt
you have often heard of the Sunny
South; the land of the orange and Ba-
mana. Let me write you a little letter
from the Sunny South.
Now if any of you think 1 had to sell
my overcoat, and give away my heavy
clothes you are much mistaken; for the
weather has been very cold, and made my
teeth chatter. If you think this is the
land of oranges and bananas, you think
right, in one particular. 1 can go out at
any time and pick up the ripe fruit; but
have to pay for it, just the same as you
do.
| think we have some of the finest ros-
es here that l ever saw, and know chill
dren like roses. If you were to visit us
in the Springtime you would find the ros-
es climbing over beautiful trellises; over
rickety fences; filling up the door yards;
and blooming over little graves out at
"Cave Hill"; for that is where we bury
our dead.
The little children here, do not have
many of the comforts you enjoy. Of
course they can 60 down and look at the
big river, as it tumbles over the falls; but
their mothers don't allow them to go very
often, lest they should tumble in and
drown: and that, you know, would spoil
the water; for we get our water from the
River. Then they cannot go out into the
woods like you can. Indeed there are
parks, in which they can walk; but the
sour faced policeman won't let them roll
over on the grass. There are squirrels
there too, but you can't throw stones at
them; and the birds do not sing pretty
like the birds of the wildwood; for they
are only the ugly English sparrows, and
they do little else than fight and chatter.
take a company Of them away up in
the church tower, occasionally, and show
them, away off in the South, the blue tops
of the Mountains Of Central Kentucky j;
and they wish they were there. But 1
think they would soon get tired climbing
over those rough Mountains. Don't
you?
Now, will not tire you with longer
letter at this time. 1 shouldsbe glad to
meet you once more and look into your
eyes, and have good talk with you, face
to face. 1 hope you are all kind to your
parents, and teachers, and playmates
and that you are succeeding well in
school. also hope you will all grow up
to be useful men and women; and above
all that you will be good Soldiers of the
Cross.
Yours,
JAMES r. COLLIER.

The young ladies of Lebanon, Ohio,
gave an entertainment in which they
appeared as the Broom Brigade" :"
and gave an exhibition military drill,
using new brooms as guns, and dust
pans as cartridge boxes. Each young
lady was dressed in a white dress, red
jacket, and red cap, and wore epau-
lettes on their shoulders: 1t is said
their evolutions astonished some of
the old soldiers present by the skill
with which they were performed.
The entertainment was for the bene-
fit of the Baptist Church, and at the
close of the drill the caps, brooms and
dust-pans were sold at auction, real
iZing a snug sum.

A Book Agent named Harry
Werthhemer, at Urbana, Ohio, be-
came jealous Of his wife and put a
strap around his neck for the purpose
of making her believe he was going to
hang himself. He got the strap, a
little too tight, and was actually chok-
ing when the porter of the hotel rush
ed into his room and cut the strap.
It is pity somebody was not present
ready to choke that porter before he
could cut the strap. The dispatch
does not state that the wife was con-
sumed with grief over the affair.

Ever since Hayes reaching the
White House through the Governor
ship Of Ohio, that Governorship has
been an objective point to men who
think that their services as President
are absolutely necessary to the welfare
and progress of the Nation. It is
claimed, by Democrats, that Payne,
the new Senator, wants to be Presi-
dent. Then it is currently reported
that Gov. Hoadly would like to be
President. Then there are whole
train of statesmen waiting to fill the
place of Hoadly, or Payne-whichever
succeeds to the Presidency-and, on
the whole, the Ohio Democracy enjoy
''great expectations" 1t is quite
probable, however, that the next
President will not be an Ohio Demo-
crat.

Wonderful Cures.

The press of the country is constantly
filled with wonderful cures which have
transpired through the agency of some
medicine in their immediate neighbor-
hood. Some of these have some founda-
tion, but great number have no better
basis than the fiighty imagination of the
writer. The following case, however, is
without precedent, and anyone is given
the privilege of writing to the subscriber
and finding if he tells the truth.

my duty to express to you, before your
departure from our city, my thanks for
the great benefit l received from the use

NEARLY three weeks have elapsed

Dear Milford, our sins are many,
and grevious, but there's wuss, my
boy, there's wuss!" In the same
number Of the paper containing the
above, is an account, with glaring
headlines, Of two brutes having as
saulted a young lady Of excellent char
acter, on a highway in the edge of
Portsmouth-couldn't have been very
far from the center of the city-and
made desperate attempt to outrage
her person, the girl having desper-
ate battle with the brutes, until she
released the bandage from her mouth
so that she could cry for help, which
came in the form of a passing milk
man. 1t is far nobler to kill man
than outrage woman. Portsmouth
must wash her face before she makes
mouths at Jackson.

For the past twelve or fifteen years,
until the past year, the school teach
ers of Jackson County kindly permit
ted US (the sen. editor) to take part in
the annual Institute. We often COM
peted for prizes, and were generally
successful Some three or four years
ago we won a prize of IS for spelling,
and chose fine photograph album,
and requested the teachers to furnish
us their photographs, and we would
keep them in the album. Many have
done so. On last Saturday Geo. w.
Harbarger brought in his picture. (Of
course it is, like the original, pretty
Mr.. Harbarger presented US the al
bum in the Institute, and he has
handed us copy Of the remarks made
by him on that occasion, as follows:
MY DEAR FRIEND:-Again you have

standing with me upon this spot, con-
secrated long ago to the "giving
away Of ones friends. You have
spelled we'll. You have fought a good
fight You have succeeded in this
contest by mighty tight squeeze" :"
It is the old, old game. By the lucky
turning" Of a word that has been
dead for $50 yeafs-obsolete since
16O7-you win, and I-lose. As is
the fashion, suppose | must COM
mend the decision Of the Committee.
Yet, | cannot forget that I have been
showed under, "all the same" The
Committee has generously selected and
placed in my hands, for you, an ele-
gantly bound, gilt-edged, volume Of
picture-frames. ''It is more blessed
to give than to receive" lie you doubt
the sentiment, please exchange places
with me, and verify it. Procure pho
tographs of Jas. A. Aleshire, g. W.
Fry, and ". FL. Horton, reserving a
conspicuous place for my own, and
your gallery will be complete, and
your peace for the future secure.
But, seriously, you have lived long.
You have seen many days. Your
childhood, youth, and vanity are gone.
During long, active, eventful life,
you have been true to your convic-
tions, loyal to the cause Of education,
and the principles Of morality.
Fitting it is then that we present
you this work, as much token of our
respect, as a prize which you have
fairly won.

the name of the teachers Of Jackson

The Democratic majority Of the
Ohio Legislature are about ready to
take charge of the State of Ohio, and
run it as private Democratic property.
They have resolved to bring every
general bill before the Judgment Of
the Democratic caucus, thus preclud-
ing the possibility of the Republican
minority doing anything but sit and
watch the Democratic menagerie.
Then there has been talk of excluding
the reporters from the House. But
we cannot blame them for that. A
Democratic legislator must ever re-
gard the man who tells the people
what he is doing, as his enemy. The
new Legislature is starting out well.
All the Republicans have to do is to
''stir up the animals and give them
rope

"a, one legged soldier and colored
man have been elected to positions in
the Democratic Legislature of Ohio.
These pesky Democrats are not such
terrible fellows, after all. ."-McArthur
Democrat-Enquirer.
We are glad to know that at last a
little common honesty-born, posi-
bly,, of remorse for past sins-is being
manifested by the Democratic party.
If there had been no Democrats to
shoot off soldiers legs, there would
have been no one-legged soldiers. And
as to the colored man, the Democratic
party stole the wages Of the colored
men for more years than this colored
clerk has lived. Every dollar he gets
through the Democratic party, right
fully belongs to him.

the roar of the enemy's guns, we start
ed through the engine-room to get to
our post. The Indiana boy was just
behind US. As we passed between the
wheel-houses a twelve-pound shot
came tearing through, passing through
the body of our Indiana friend, tear
ing the life out of him before he could
realize what had hurt him. Thus the
idle wish of the morning-that he
might stay on the boat ''as long as he
lived''-was carried to a full realiza-
tion before sundown.

A few months ago little girl nam
ed Mary Rose Matthews, was taken
from the Catholics Orphans Home
at Denver, Colorado, by Mike Cuddi-
HE and wife, and adopted by them.
For some time reports Of extreme
cruelty to the child had been circulat-
ed, and about a week ago little Mary
died and was hastily buried by the
two beasts, on their fara. The neigh
bors became suspicious with regard to
the sudden death and hasty burial,
and the Coroner was sent for. He
arrived, exhumed the body, and ex-
animation revealed the horrible fact
that the child h ad been murdered, her
body bearing evidences Of knife
wounds. and of having been frozen,
thus showing that the child had been
stabbed and beaten almost to death
and driven out in the cold to freeze.
Cuddihie and his wife were arrested,
and one day last week we're convicted
of murder. The citizens Of that neigh
borhood did not propose to run any of
the risks Of the laws delay in putting
such murderous beasts out of the way,
so, after waiting until assured of their
guilt, they took Mike and his brutal
spouse few miles into the country,
strung the female beast up to the
ridge pole Of an old cabin, and the
male to tree on the opposite side Of
the road. It is said they both ''cried
loudly for mercy" What mercy
could be shown to such creatures, save
the mercy Of a good stout rope?

Ought The Law be Enforced.

That is a question Of growing i'm
portance, since neglect of officials in
the matter Of enforcement is becom-
ing more marked each year. Either
our laws and the judicial sentences
based upon them are wrong, or official
disregard is wrong. Public sentiment
in Guernsey County is heavily in ia
vor of temperance, as shown by the
heavy majority of votes cast in favor
of Prohibition. Yet the Sheriff of
that County has seen fit to ignore the
sentence of Judge Frazier in the case
of Geo. Johnson, convicted Of viola
ton of the Scott Law and sentenced
to 1S0 days in the County jail. John
son is to-day free man in Cambridge,
and the sentence not enforced. The
Guernsey Times declares with perfect
truth that Sheriff McGill has disre-
garded his oath and that there is sufi-
cient ground for impeachment. If so,
impeach him: enforce the law or
obrogate it.-Zanesvile Visitor.
