The Queen City, Logan.-Re-

Mr.. CHAIRMAN {:

| Mr.. CHAIRMAN
We live i'll pleasant little city, in one o
the finest valleys in ONO, and surrounded
with hills OF richness and beauty. The
Hooking River, the Canal and Railroad
with its branches are all convenient to us
The streets are level and wide and well
lighted at night. Our town is the center Ol
an extensive scope of country for business,

was laid Gut in 1916 by Thomas Worthing-
ton, an extensive land owner, and about
that time, also the Governor of the great
State OF Ohio. have no doubt that few
wears later the friends of Jackson rallied in
this town for iii. old hero, and the cause
of good government as earnestly as our
democracy did for Cleveland and the same
good cause, It few months ago.
Mr.. Chairman. one of our highest advan-
tayes of a community is its facilities for the
education of youth. The State of Ohio has
an exceiiant school system, which is the
result of democratic legislation, and our
city has availed itself ola full measure OF
the benefits of that system. An ecucatlon
in the ordinary branches of learning can
be as completely acquired here as any
where else.
The town and country are also well rep
resehtedjn churches so that each indivld-
ual can worship according to his consci-
ence, or not at all, just as it may s'ii, him,
according to the school of Thomas Jeffer-
son, the great founder of our democratic
faith.
Our professional and business men and
working men are astive AID intelligent,
and are a bl.. to furn ish o. accomplish what
may be required OF them.
Our CITY officials are clever, efficient gen
tlemen, and the town is orderly and its
affairs running smoothly.
We have many fine, tasteful buildings

This Year, Peach Crop a Fine Oue,

George NJ Stetson. the oldest peach
packer in the United States, says that
the peach crop this year will be large
and of good quality. Peach trees grew
to less extent than usual last year, aud
the sap did not rise to develop the bulls
till the cold of winter. These are the
most favorable conditions for a good
crop. There will not be quite so much
fruit rs last yesr. but it will be larger
and finer and will bring the farmers
more money than they got for the large
crop of small, puny peaches produced
last season. Another favorable thing is
the uniformly cold weather OF the pres
ent winter, w,ich has kept the sap down
and prevented the buds from swelling.
They are ROW entirely out of danger,
and can stand any amount OF cold that
we caa possibly have.-Nec York. San.

The Citizen so1dier.-Response
by Jacob Weaver.

GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW CITIZENS:
II is with pleasure that l respond in my
feeble way to this sentimen mot that can
add anything to the glow OF patriotism
that fills each heart at the mere menti' n
OF this most glorious of our institutions as
exemplif1cd by our volunteer army, but
because Of the pride OF standing MS repre-
sentative on this occasion of that stalwart
band whose blood and tolls have written
the most glorious pages of our national
history, and the honor of being claSsed
among those noble men, some OF whom are
present tonight, of whom SO II Any deserve
to be first, that it would be invidious to
mention any.
The grand, wonderful l,inexaustibie army
of A merican Volunteers, which has no
peer or example in the world or in history
springs Minerva lise full grown and armed
viOus preparation or organization.
Let but danger threaten our government
and a million armed men arise in almost
as many seconds with no compulsion and
scarcely any effort on the part of our rulers,
and declare with General Jackson, "by the
eternal the right shall prevail"
1t is this that astounns monarchs and
statesmen; it is this fact that renders the
representations OF political philosophers
respecting the instability OF our civil insti-
tntions unreliable it is this that furnish
e. the hest evidence Ofthe excelency of our
form of government.
Whence springs this mighty army fierce
and brave to do unfiinchlng, patient Gu.s,

but the plow is not stopped in the furrow,
and the land still laughs with harvest
From the work shop? but the din and
clanror Gf mocha nj ical industry does not
cease or grow less, aid the smoke of the
factory still fiowis over their busy myri-
ads.
This martial monster springs into exist
ence when occasion requires it, and van-
ishes when danger is over; like the wind,
no man knoweth whence it cometh or
whittier it goeth.
There are rows o: grassy graves, there are
empty sleeves and some of whom it wa

But where is tn at huge host, the smoke
o. whose battle darkened the armament a
few short years ago? Aside from u few
manned and crippled, whose eyes l.indles
at the sound of the drum and the sght of
the graceful old flag embracing the breeze,
there is nothing to show this people ev
er furnished the warriors for n great long
and bloody contest, those mighty legiOns
sank into the population when the war
was over, like snow in the water, and left
no ripple to show where they went down.
The wealth aud purity of the patriotism
and love of our country that actuates the

times unlettered men, they have neverthe
less filled our poetry and traditions with
the most powerful and exquisite express
ions of 4 !. tic love and devotion. But it
is in the history of the Individual soldier,

learn the deep nobility OF the American
soldier.
Good bless the heart that beat beneath
the old blue blouse, and God confound

The Care OF the Eyes.

There is great difference in the
prices Of eyeglasses and spcetacles, -
an optician said. ''You can buy pair
of eyeglasses for Is cents, while pair
that looks exactly like them will COS.
you g. The difference between them
is that by using one pair man is very
liable to ruin his sight, while the other
will materially aid it,
What makes the difference in val
ueP"
The quality of the glass and the
amount OF work used in polishing them.
The cheap ones are generally made of
very common glass, and are by no
means perfect. Sometimes there are
a!r-bubb!es in them, and sometimes
there are wavy lines. You have looked
through window-giass that distorted
everything, haven't You? Well, just
imagine taking such kiUd of glass to
improve your sight with. Persons are
not half careful enough of their eyes,
and the sight of thousands of persons
has been injured by using bad and un-
suitable glasses. Poor quality of
glasses are injurious enough. but when
a person looks through glasses that are
both poor in quality and in no way tit
ted to improve the sight, he runs a ter
rible risk
Can not one tell if the glasses help
him?''
ut depends on circumstances. If u
man finds that he is getting far-sighted
and tries on pair OF farsi ghted glasses
and they make him see better at that
time. he is apt to buy them. They may,
however, bc too old, and thus strain his
sight; or. they may be too young for
him.and he does not receive the benefit
that he should. BY going to a first
rate optician his sight would be tried in
the proper manner, and he would get
just the right kind of glasses 1t is
4 very false economy to buy cheap
glasses. Eve seen a man Stop at
stand in the street and buy pair of
glasses for 4 quarter, just by trying
them on and looking at 4 newspaper.
Lots of persons eyes are not of the
same strength, and ought to have
glasses of different strength in the same
