AT a meeting of the citizens of sub district
No. Z, Harrison township, held on Monday
evening, Dec. 2Sth, 1885, for the purpose Of
expressing opposition to the construction Of
stone roads in this county, the following res
olutions were adopted as an expression Of
the sentiment of the meeting:
WHEREAs, The Board of County Commiss4
toner's have taken the initiatory steps toward
the construction of stone roads under what
is known as the Norton Law, therefore:
Resotped, That the Commissioners of Hen
ry county are the servants of the people of
Henry county, and in all matters which con-
Germ only the interest, welfare and property
of the people of said county, should consult
and respect the wishes and desires of these
people, and have no right, without the con-
sent of these people to make improvements
by which they will be heavily taxed without
their consent "a
Resotred, That, in our opinion, the con-
struction of roads under said Law is imprac-
ticable, will be oppressive to the property
owners and tax payers, result in squandering
their substance, be unjust to the several sec
tions of the county and tend to retard rather
than advance our material prosperity.
RESOLVED, That we are opposed to the con-
struction of roads under the said Law, and
in favor Of the repeal of the said Law, and
will do all in our power to prevent the burden
being imposed on the property of the county
until the people become able to pay the tax
incident thereto.
Reolued, That the county papers be request
ed to publish these resolutions.
Resolved, That we request the citizens Of
each township in Henry county to meet at
their usual places Of holding elections, at
10 o'clock, a. M, January 9th, 1886, and take
action on this important question of opposi-
tion to stone roads.

Washington Omcial Etiquette.

A certain etiquette is to be observed
in addressing the President, either in
person or by letter, which many
strangers to Washington seem to not
know Of. The proper title is "Mr.
President" and all such titles or words
as "your honor" "your excellency,"
or President Cleveland" are consid-
cred as in extremely bad taste. Mas
sachusetts calls its governor "your ex-
cellency," and the lieutenant govern
or "your honor" but the President Of
the United States is simply "the Pres
ident." In letters to him the address,
"The President, Executive Mansion,
Washington, d. Co." is all that is
necessary, and more is improper. AS
to the members OF the cabinets, in
private conversation you address them
as "Mr. Secretary of the Treasury"
''Mr. Attorney General" etc. But in
writing the proper form is, for in
stance, "Hon. Thomas Bayard, Secre-
tary of State, Washington, D. c." In
writing to senator you say in form
al epistle, "Mr. Senator" and you adj
dress the outside Of your letter for in
stance the "Hon. John A. Logan, SEN
ate Chamber, Washington, D. c."
Members OF Congress are addressed
by their last names with Mr.. But il
one of them has ever had a decent
military title beg you, if you want
any fayors, to give him the full bene-
fit Of the title. By decent military
title l mean anything above the rank
of major. In case of doubt always
aim higher than you think instead Of
lower. You may call a Congressman
who has been colonen general and
fatter him, but if you call him cap
tain he will scowl at you and never
forgive you. No class of people are
more easily fattered than those
whom the world regards as great
men.

The Reputation of "a Standard
Article

is seldom injured by surreptitious ri
valry. Imitators Of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters have not only lost money
by attempting underhand COMPETE
ton with it, but have actually con-
triputed to enhance the estimation in
which Che genuine medicine is held.
The public at large has for many years
been acquainted with the ear marks
that distinguish the real from the
spurious, and cannot be persuaded
that other articles sold in somewhat
similar guise are equally good. Fee
yer and ague, constipation, dyspepsia
and liver complaint are not durable by
cheap local bitters, eye openeders and
tonics, but the fact is too well proven
and to generally known to admit OF
conscientious dispute, that for these
and other maladies the great house
hold medicine is safe and thorough
remedy. Not only in the United
States, but in Mexico, South America
and theWest Indies, its merits are
widely recognized and its reputation
too firmly established to be shaken.

A CHRONIC BEAT.
A. ST. Julian Skips out and Leaves
Every body He Owes.

For several months there has been a
man by the name Of A. st. Julian run
ming a restaurant at the corner of Fiji
teenth and Capital avenue. Iherestaurant
was named after its owner and was called
"The st. Julian" The place has done a
very good business, but the old seed who
has been running it has evidently been
working to salt down a few dollars re-
gardless of the consequences and prob
ably has done so.
He has run in debt everywhere that he
he could find any body to trust him audit
has been his motto never to pay a cent if
he could possibly get out of it. All of a
sudden this chronic dead-beat transfers
his property to a second party and leaves
the city. This transfer was made
yesterday morning, and manypersons who
had meal tickets which had not yet beer
used up are left out in the cold. When
they went to dinner yesterday they were
informed by the new proprietor that theil
tickets were no good and if they wanted
dinner they would have to put up the casf
for it.
Not only has st. Julian beaten all the
dealers he could find to trust him, but he
has roped in the newspapers for gooc
sized advertising bills, and notwithstand-
ing that persis 'ent efforts were made t.
get even with him, it was like trying tt
get blood out of a turnip.
He has gone, and his came will bC
pasted upon the walls of time as a chroni,
dead beat, and wherever he may go it viii
be well for the citizens of such places t.
beware Of him.
