The Dream of Ynnfh

The dreams we so fondly loved in
early life may just as. quickly pass
away and leave nothing but scared
and desolate path behind. The proud
hopes which spring unbidden in the
human heart, may die and fall as fell
the plague on sinful man. The mon
uments OF beauty and art which have
been reared by mans creative genius
may crumble and turn to dust, but yet
PERUNA the great remedy, will still be
acknowledged to be the greatest med
lclne, and will still receive the prase
which so rightly belongs to it. Thou
sands have received benefits from it,
and have shown their appreciation of
it by their testimonials to that effect.
Ask your druggist for great remedy,
and for the pamphlet called the ILLS
of Life" or address Dr.S. B. Hartman
& Co., Columbus, Ohio, and they will
send you one flee. June 5-2w.

STANDARD: JACKSON OHIO THURSDAY JUNE !

terry are buried two of Rev H. j. Carr, who had
fire sons in the Union Army. Many of the graves
were beautifully decorated by relatives of the dead
soldiers-notably those of Lam Carr, DR.. Monahan,
James West, and others. The grave of West had
upon it musket, a canteen and belt all made of
moss, beautifully wrought by Mrs. r. E. Rice. Near
Col Doves grave, hanging upon an evergreen was
memorial wreath to j. j. Harding, as brave man
gave his life the Union. He assassinated by
bushwhacker in West Virginia, while acting
orderly for Gen. Dufe, and was buried there. This
memorial was from his sister, Mrs. Olive South.
At the west end OF the cemetery. the lot of the
Smith family stood large cross containing in large
letters: Francis Smith, killed in battle at Shiloh
April 6th 1862 Mr.. Smith buried on the battle
field. He was one of the grandest men who ever
lived in the county. He was oldtme Abolitiouist
and when the war broke out was the first man in the
county to volunteer, he also the first man
killed from this county.
The grave of John Swanson at the cemetery, was
beautifully decorated by his widow and daughters.
The Post at this place will take measures at to
have the unmarked graves adorned by appropriate
tombstones. The Government will furnish these, if
proper application be made. There some graves,
in the new cemetery especially, that ought to hare
stones up in least the why it is
not peculiar. All should be properly marked.
BEAN SUPPER.
The soldier boys gave army supper at Jones'
Hall, on Friday evening. The bill of fare consisted
of Beans, Bacon, Coffee, Brown Sugar, and Hard
Tack. This elaborate menu was furnished for ten
cents. Then there stands where lemonade, ice
cream and hard tack were sold. The programme was
follows: First, Vocal Music Second, Band Music
Third, Five Minutes Drill; Fourth, Vocal Music;
Fifth, Reading, by Irvine Dungan-Gen. Halpns
Poem, We've Drunk from the Same Canteen." Then
supper announced. Long tables were set with
tin plates and tin cups, and quite large number par
took of the soldiers fare. After supper there was
more vocal music, Miss Jessie Hanna leading, upon
the organ. in all the vocal music of the evening.
There was large crowd in the hall, and all thor
oughly enjoyed the evening with the soldier boys
1t is remarkably good showing that, with great
crowd of people in town all day, there but two
arrests for ntoxcatton. In this connection we wish
to say the good people of the community that the
members of the G.. A. r. had nothing do with put
ting out the sign &C. A. r. Headquarters" over the
doggery in the lower of the Hall building, and
when they found it out were seriously considering
the propriety of taking it down, unceremoniously,
but concluded that letting it remain there would do
more serious injury to the interested parties than
anybody else.
Taking 1t altogether, the first Decoration Day in
Jackson was grand success, and day the soldier
boys and the citizens may justly feel proud of.

In looking over some old matters a
few days since we came upon this item
relative to the Jackson Union Schools
for 1861, which may be Of passing in
terest now:
"Our Union School will commence
en- next Monday week, Sept. I'd. J. w.
Longbon is Supt. He is paid $50 a
month. Oliver S. Miller teaches the
next department. at 1884 1884 a month.

The other three departments are to be
taught by Miss Fl. Walterhouse. Miss
M. Hanna, Miss Nancy A. Martin
and Miss L. B. johnson, at the rate
of $55 for three months"
Miss Walterhouse is teaching yet.
Miss Hanna is now the wife Of Hon.
r. FL. Jones. Miss Martin is daugh-
ter of C. M. Martin, the merchant.
Miss Johnson is now the widow Simp-
son, keeper Of the Gem Bakery.

Sensational s'NeWs''!

Nothing is so entertaining as the
lively newspaper, filled with "sensa-
tions," with news of places and events
which astonish the oldest inhabitants.
It matters not if the news" is manu-
factured, it looks like business when
strung out in print.
A few days ago sensational sheet
up on the Bottoms published the as
founding information that Jugurtha
Lackey had disappeared and Cleve
Lackey was suspected of numbering
him. There was not one word OF
truth in the statement except that
Jugurtha had gone away. Cleve
Lackey is as good a man, and as pure
a man, as the scribbler who wrote the
idiotic bosh.
Then Dayton dispatch to the Gin
cinnati Times-Star, reads as follows:
Intelligence was received here last
night of the breaking out of riots in
the Jackson County coal fields, south
east of here. The coal operators are
willing to pay what is demanded, but
will not make contract for ane year.
As a result 1000 miners are on a
strike and are every hour forcing others
to join them.
The miners of Coalton yesterday
marched to Wellston and forced tie
the miners there to join them. All
the buildings and offices Of the Com
pany were burned by the strikers last
evening and their records destroyed" !"
There is not one word of truth IN
the entire dispatch.
Then the Times-Star, and Post, had
this, from Chillicothe:
Laban Stevens, the last Of the three
.murderers Of Anderson Lackey, was
executed last Friday, and yesterday
Gilbert Lackey, brother OF the MUIR
dered man, was found in pit of sand.
His head was crushed in, and there
were other injuries to his chest and
body, which plainly indicated that he
had been foully dealt with.
The only shadow of truth there is
in that is the fact that Stephens was
hung, and it is wonderful that that
fact was not distorted into some sort
of lie.

National Convention !!

The Delegations to the National
Convention have gathered at Chicago,
and at the time we go to press the
Convention is proceeding with the
temporary organization. Powell Clay
ton, of Arkansas, has been selected
for Temporary Chairman, and this is
regarded as an advantage for the
Blaine forces.
By the latest advices, it is evident
that the great statesman Of Maine is
hourly gaining strength, and it seems
not at all unlikely that Blaine will be
nominated on the first ballot. All
that the friends of other candidates
hope for now is to prolong the con-
vention and delay the proceedings, in
the hope that the Blaine enthusiasm
will in a measure fall off, but the most
enthusiastic friends of other candi-
dates now admit that Blaine's nom
ination on the first ballot is highly
probable.
The Ohio delegation is considered
weak force in the Convention from
the fact that it is divided almost
equally between Blaine and Sherman.
Gen. Harrison's name will not be pre-
sented, and most of the Indiana dele
CATION will be for Blaine.
There is some talk of springing
Gen. Sherman's name upon the Con-
vention, but it seems now that the
Plumed Knight from Maine, the con-
fidential friend of the lamented Gar
field, will be the choice of the Conven-
ton. And his nomination would
give us q more enthusiastic campaign
than that Of any other man.

MoRRICE, MICH, May 29, 1884.
To the Editors of the Standard:
Here we come again, hoping that
these few lines may find lodgment
in your Valuable paper. I say valua-
BILE paper, because it gives the news
from home, therefore it is valuable to
me. We are having very cool weather
here for this time of year. Jack
Frost gave US call last night, and I
fear he has. done great damage to
fruit and garden vegetables. Grass
and wheat look well. Farmers are
busy planting corn.
7 saw in your paper, of last week, a
notice of the death Of little Maggie
Jordan, niece Of mine. l was sorry
to hear Of her death, but send my
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
family. Death comes and there is no
relief. One by one, we cross the di-
vide, which separates the mortal from
the immortal. Blessed thought, 60
ing home, to the arms Of Jesus, dear
little Maggie! Dear sister, weep not
for your darling child. She is not
lost, but is only gone before, and by
and by, you shall meet again, to part
no more.
'Tis hard to give your loved one up,
To miss her happy face;
When gathered round the hearth at home,
To see baby's vacant place.
But grieye not foF the absent one,
Her life is happy now,
Disease harms not, nor pains distoRs
Her calm and quiet brow.
Her earthly garments are laid by,
For robes of spotless white;
And on her brow is placed a crown,
oftranqnii peaee afld light
Then sorrow not as those who haxe
No hope beyond the grave;
For to the Christian, Jesus comes,
And resurrects to
SUSIE f. BLAIR.
