A Noble Movement!

The Cemetery Trustees, in their pur
chase of necessary additions to the Gem
etery, have an object in view which will
meet with joyous response from every
soldier in the County. The plan is to sci
apart a plot of ground on top of the hill
for the erection, at some future time, of a
memorial monument to the soldiers of
the County, and for burial ground for
soldiers. But few days ago an old sol
dier was thrust away in Potter's Field,
and it is to be earnestly hoped that such
scenes will not have to be repeated. Of
course, the Trustees have no means for
the erection of such monument, at their
command, but it would not be difficult to
start a popular subscription in this Coun-
ty which would result in monument

What grander tribute could be erected
here than memorial shaft with the bust
of glorious "Old Frank" Smith upon it !?
The men who fought their country's bat
ties are rapidly passing away, and to the
rising generation the story of the war is
only a matter of history. 1t is fitting,
therefore, that something should be done
to perpetuate the memory, and pay trib-
ute to the gallant deeds of Jackson Coun-
ty's soldiers.

The people of jackson county who
have been living in the county constantly
for the past ten or twelve years, cannot
notice the vast growth of the industry
and enterprise of the county like one who
comes back after an absence of that
length of time. James Milliken left here
before the coal fields lip the creek We're
opened at all, his father having formerly
lived on the John Brown place. James
came through this region q few days ago,
and declares that he would not have
known the country. "Why," said he, "it's
a continual town from Wellston to Jack
son." And it does not lack great deal
of being so. Still the growth of the
county in the next ten years should be,
and perhaps will be, double what it has
been in the past ten years.

We don't need any specimens, friends.
We receive at this Office an average of a

of a paper, so keep your specimens, dear
friends.

Some of our exchanges seemed to think
strange that there areso many candidates
for Office in this County. Why, friends,
this goes to prove that we have a large
number of men in the County capable of
filling the offices. There is not one among

qualified for the position he seeks.

people from all parts Of the County are

which the object merits.

After the second alarm of fire on last
Thursday night Orlando Stiffler, fireman,
and Eli Moore, driver of the engine team,
agreed to sleep in the hay at the engine
house, so as to be ready in case another
alarm was sounded. The agreement was
that the one who heard the alarm first
was to shout "Get Outr' Nothing occur
red during the night, and on Friday morn
ing Stifller awoke, and Moore was slum-
bering soundly. Arising stealthily,
Stiffier shouted sect Out!" Moore
bounced as though dynamite bomb had
gone off under him. seized his hat, and
began to hustle for the horses, before he
discovered the joke. Both these men
always get there ON time.

"What is the reason 2" said citizen of
this place, that we have no authentic his
tory of the early inhabitants of the region
around about Jackson. The trouble was
the early history was stored away in the
heads of the old citizens who formed a
sort of connecting link between the an
cient and the modem, and these were not
as a rule men given to the writing up of
diaries, or noting important impressions.
There are doubtless many persons sleep
ing beneath the surface of the Jackson
County hills, whose testimony concerning
the events of their time would now be of
inestimable value.

ANNE LLOYD.

Mr.. Lloyd was insured March 7th, 1884,
and so died in one year and sixteen days
from the date of his policy, having paid
but two annual premiums of $S7 SO each,
total sum of $17466 for which small
investment his otherwise unendowed
family received the sum of $3,O32.41. Can
there be any better illustration of the
benefits that good life policy may con-
fer? Here was very rugged, healthy
man who died in year from the time
his insurance was affected and who, but
his immediate family, can say how many
heartburnings and much suffering has
thus been relieved. All approved forms
of insurance are issued by the Company.

There is one thing that ought to be
done. Thefremen ought all to be clothed
with police authority. AT a fire there are
usually some smart persons who feel
called upon to defy the rules of propriety
and common decency, and these richly
deserve arrest. Had the fremen authori-
ty to march such fellows off to the city
prison. there would soon be marked i'm
provement in this direction.
