The Cabinet.

The question of Cleveland's cabinet
will be settled in few days, and then a
question of much greater Importance
come up, and that is, how to make the
money necessary for family expenses GO
farthest. That question can soon be set
tied if you go to o. S. Miller's Store, on
Main Street, jackson, Ohio.
Oats, corn, baled hay, flour, meal, vege-
tables, groceries, provisions of all kinds,
to be had very cheap for cash, at David
d. Dungan's great grocery and provision
store, Main Street. Jackson Ohio, next
door to First National Bank.
We think that person should not buy
any thing he does not need. and that our
needs will hunt us up, and that we
should wait until we really need some
thing, and then we will think about it.
Now when you really need anything,
just go to Dungan's Ind there it is.

Otto Geier, familiarly known as "beef-
portion of his physiognomy, died very
suddenly, about one o'clock on Sunday
morning. Of the man dead, we have
nothing to say. He has appeared at the
Judgment Bar of God to answer for the
deeds done behind the bar of the doggery,
and we are willing to leave him with the
6udge of all the earth. Of the man living,
we have right to speak, because mans
life is what he makes it. Geier came
here some two or three years ago. and
started low doggery. He came from
Gallipolis, but was formerly of Charles
ton. West Va. While he was polite and
well-behaved in his demeanor, his den
was one of the worst in town, being the
scene of several drunken rows. Only as
late as Saturday night, young men were
seen reeling out of this place, crazy
drunk.
We do not believe in saying that rep
tile is rattlesnake while it is alive, and
a band of mottled gold when dead. The
plain fact is, when doggery-keeper dies,
it is a benefit and blessing to the COM
munity. Not because of the man him
self, but because there is one less to fol-
low the horrible business, and one more
enemy of the community gone. The busi-
mess of the doggery-keeper is to destroy
entire community, that he may profit by
the destruction. He will destroy the
youth, mock at the prayers of the mother,
and laugh to scorn any suggestion of his
duty to his fellow men, as long as the
money keeps coming in. He sows to the
wind, and who shall weep when he reaps
the whirlwind? When God smites the
ebgent of the Devil, in all his wickedness,
and launches him into eternity with a
stomach full of his own liquid hell-fre,
we may feel solemn, but we cannot weep.
And If he should smite the whole gang of
them, and pile them up in eternity in one
great, sinking mass of corruption, the
community would try to stand it, some
how.
Geier was buried by the Odd Fellows.

The wagon-wheel problem has been dis
cussed somewhat vigorously in the bust

of these long winter evenings. There is
a ludcrous sound to the proposition
which at once springs discussion among
those who have never given the matter
any special attention. "Does the top of a
you ask, and you run the risk of being
asked in return if you are natural born
fool Still the top of a wheel travels a
great deal faster than the bottom, when
che vehicle is moving forward or back
ward along the ground. The motion is
away from Il given point, and the center
is really on the ground. A wheel spun
around upon a raised axle, of course
moves with equal speed at all points. The
last number of the Scientific American
speaks of this subject thus, in answer to
correspondents:
(33) w. D. f. and Il. B. S. ask: Is it a
fact that the upper part of a wheel of a
vehicle driven over the ground revolveS
faster than the lower part? Ii so please
explain the cause? A. The top does not
revolve around the axle faster than the bot
tom. The top moves along the road twice
as fast as the axle. The bottom stands still
in relation to the road, but moves back
ward in relation to the vehicle. The
miSapplication of a word gives rise to
much disputation. a wheel revolves on
it's own center, and every portion OF its
periphery has the same relation to its
center in regard to speed.

gain 20 per cent. Just take the cost price,

Messrs. b. f. Gill and f. P. Gracey
have bought the Gulf Stream Farm,
out by the ice factory, which they got
very cheap, considering its close prox-
unity to town and other advantages.
1t is understood they contemplate i'm
proving the place for a city park and
public resort, cullivating a fishery and
opening bathing places and boating in
Red river, and perhaps an amphithea-
ire for stock shows, trotting matches
and grand reunions. A water witch
has been prospecting and has found a
very bold stream of water, and they
expect to find another fine spring or
sink shaft that will bring up a per-
petual four-inch stream of water We,
however, have no faith in this water
story. There is no use for any more
water ON the place, unless they con-
template another ice factory, and we
] don't believe they do Mr.. Gill has
been absent since the purchase and
we have had no opportunity to inter-
view him, but have good authority for
stating that a stranger, whom Mr.. Gill
had out there prospecting, was look
. ing for Trouville's Treasure, and they
are sure that the hiding place has been
found, which is the secret of the water
movement 1t is too thin story to
gull the people of GAINESVILLE with. Il

men were never hankeriEg after water
and why should they now spend /
thousand dollars or more hunting fol

No, no; it is Trouville's Treasure tina
they have discovered. We hoped tina

fortune before giving up the place, bu
such is luck. 1t could not have faller

Mr.. George Min made very cred
liable presentation of Hamlet at the
theater Monday night, and deserved a
much larger audience than that which
greeted him.
He has a fine conception of this
greatest of Shakespearean creations
and his voice and action are both good
The soliloquies were well rendered
the advice to the players was delivered
in fine style, and in several of the
deeply tragic portions he was master
full and impressive.
The presentation of the play was
greatly marred by the poverty OF the
support. Hamlet cannot be we'll acted
without a good Polonius, first rate
Ophella, and fair Laertes. Mr.. Min
owes it to himself to procure a better
troupe. He probably lacks the supe-
rior touch which genius gives, but he
has all that intellectual study and con-
ception can bring to the aid OF fine
natural endowments.

Tho SprlngHeId correspondent OF The
Spirit of the Farm writes as follows: There
is not much doing in the new crop of to-
baccO yet, except by G. c. Bell Il Co. They
are buying freely, and stemming. They
have secured about 10000 pounds to date,
and have bought near 20000 pounds, at
prices ranging from 5ctS to Gets. round. Leaf
dealers are looking round some, and have
bought a few crops at Sets. to 61actS., to be
delivered in pricing order. There is more
talk among the planters than usual of priz-
ing their own crops, as the prices talked of,
and offel ed by dealers, are much lower than
prices paid last year. Many of them do not
seem to recognize the fact that two large
crops together Will necessarily lower prices.
