Jackson Fifty Years Ago.
PLEAsANToN, KAN,
January 5. 1885,

January 0, 1850.
To the Editors of the Standard:
Fifty years ago your city had NO
church building save. the unfinished
Court House. In January or Febru-
ary, 1885, the contract was let to S.
M. Burt by the building committee,
Judge James, Ellis Long, Daniel Hoff-
man and others, for the building of
the first M. E. Church, on the block
north Of the old Jail. The work was
begun about April 1st, and finished in
July Of that year.
The sum paid was about $3.50.
The workmen employed by Burt
were D. Perry, Sr., A. Dudley, VIM.
Flowers, and myself. John Burt and
S. Jinks hauled the lumber from Rae
coon Creek to Jackson.
The first M. E. Church in Piketon
was built the same year by the same
workmen, and at the same cost, was
finished, believe, in November. Rev.
DIR. Jennings was in charge of the
circuit that conference year. Pike
ton and the most Of the two counties
was embraced in Jackson Circuit at
that date.
Wishing your city, my dear old
home, very prosperous year, | am,
sirs, Respectfully Yours,
J. E. WHITMAN.

JANUARY Q. 1884.

To the Editors Of the Standard
Your paper has been a welcome Wis
liant to our Butler County home. We
love your loyal sentiments, your un-
wavering fidelity to the cause of right
as loyal Republicans we did all we
could to carry the dear old flag aloft.
But traitors snatched away our fond
est hopes. Perhaps you would like to
hear our resolves. We never have
never will sign a petition for license
not one single Republican will agree
to sign a remonstrance-no never
while the present administration lasts.
Prohibitionists have said we had rath-
er have an ex-Rebel officer or a low
debauchee than a statesman for na-
tional ruler
Let the party they trust lead them
now. To them we now look to re-
deem the land from the whisky curse.
Had some Of them gone with me to
the Democratic jubilee in Clarion Co.,
where not only the men, but boys,
were drunk, oh how we'll pleased they
would have been with their work.
Prohibitionists say they defeated
Blaine. All right. I feel sure we
can stand it as long as they can do no
more. To-day l respect my Catholic
neighbor who stood by his party. But
the man who said to the brave boy in
blue, l don't care how much you en-
dured, mean to defeat you. [ almost
hate to see him enjoy the liberty so
dearly earned. | feel thankful our
pastor did not vote with the third par
ty. I fear ''he himself had been a
castaway" AS many Of the readers
Of the Standard are acquainted with
Butler County, Pa, we deem line
from here will be in place. But when
we see the waste basket gaping for
uninteresting facts, we feel a little
abashed. We think there is no pleas
anter home than is found in old But
ler County. The Sabbath is remem-
bered as a Holy Day. We have
good supply Of churches IN our midst.
Presbyterian, United Presbyterian,
Methodist, Lutheran, and all filled
by able men. We have good schools,
good teachers, good superintendent.
There is quite an oil excitement at
present oyer some new discoveries.
The health of this county is good ex-
cepting diphtheria and some little ty-
phoid fever.
Times are dull, with little hope of
any change soon. Miners are on a
strike the greater part Of the time.
But we still feel jubilant, believing
firmly that what can't be cured must
be endured" and that we do not live
in a world of chance God has always
given his voice to the right. He will
watch over his loyal subjects and
eventually give them the victory over
evil-doers Let US stand together as
firm as Scotch and Irish soldiers; let
US dare to do right, love God, keep his
commandments as the whole duty Of
man.
A happy New Year to you all.

TheFirst Baptist Church.

The First Baptist Church in Jack
son, Ohio, had been without pastor
over two years when I began my la
Dor here, May 1, 1888. The members
were depressed financially and spirit
ually. Some Of the most efficient
members having moved away, others
had gone to unite with the happy
band Of the redeemed in heaven.
There was debt of $625OO ON the
Church, and the members few in num-
Der and the most Of them not possess
ing much Of this worlds wealth Yet
trusting in God, who never forsakes
nor fails to fulfill his precious prom
ises to his children, they were willing
to make one more earnest, prayerful
effort for the Masters cause, and the
Lord has greatly blessed their labors.
They are now out Of debt, and have a
part Of the means raised towards put
ting new roof on the Westinghouse.
There has been thirty-seven additions
to the church, twenty of these being
added last month during our special
meetings in which we greatly enjoyed
the able and efficient services of Rev.
VIM. Hildreth, D. D., Of Cincinnati.
Last Sunday the Church was greatly
surprised and made to rejoice i'll being
presented with most handsome COM
~mumon set by Mother Elizabeth Da-
Wis and her daughter, Catharine Davis,
to whom we extend our many thanks.
They now feel that the prospect is
better than it has been for many
years, there being perfect harmony
and a working spirit, with anxiety to
see Zion prosper and souls saved. We
now have good congregations, a
good prayer-meeting and Sunday
School. We extend our sincere thanks
to our many friends who have given
US helping hand in this good work,
and we shall not forget Mrs. Eliza
beth P. Jones, Of Salem, Nebraska,
who gave Us a liberal contribution.
The pastor and his wife feel that they
have many warm friends in Jackson,
who in many respects have shown us
tokens Of kindness. On the evening
of December 26th, quite number of
them paid US pleasant visit, coming
not empty-handed, but loaded down
with the good things of this life, leav-
ing US between thirty and forty dol
lars better off in this worlds goods
To them W, return the gratitude of
our hearts. Truly we can say, 1.-The
| lines are fallen unto us in pleasant
places, yea we have a good J heritage

I have been bothered with catarrh for
about twenty years. I could not tell how
many different remedies have tried, and
none seemed to reach my case like Ely's
Cream Balm. had lost my smell entire
ly for the last fifteen years, and 1 had al
most lost my hearing. My eyes were get

ing as well as I ever had, and 1 can see to
thread as fine a needle as ever l did, and
my smell is partly restored, and it seems
to be improving all the time. 1 think
there is nothing like Ely's Cream Balm

Gov. Hoadly, in his Message to the
Ohio Legislature, makes these sugges-
tions: That in case of 1aw1essness be-
yond the control of the Sheriff of the
county, that officer be authorized by leg
islative enactment to call out, by permis-
sion of the Common Pleas Judge of the
county, sufficient number of Deputies
to quell such disturbance, and that these
Deputies be compensated out of the.Coun-
ty Treasury. That, should it be absolute
ly necessary to call in the aid of State
troops, their expenses should be paid by
the county calling for them. That all
damages from mob violence should be
paid for out of the County Treasury of
the county in which they occur. The
central idea of these suggestions is to
make the taxpayers of the county feel q
direct financial interest in the suppression
of every possible outbreak. Thus, if the
taxpayers of u county knew that all dam
ages to property by rioters must be paid
in cash out of the County Treasury, they
would be active and energetic in their
efforts to put down violence and protect
property.
