he is uuus,ly restrained OF his liberty aud
held in virtual servitude by James n. Be-
thune, who bias by several courts heretofore
been appointed his guardian. Tom is in.
capable OF taking care of himself-a duty
which has so far been performed by Be-
thuue. TO whom he formerly belonged, as
we'll as did Charity Virgins. The latter is
acting ON tie suggestion of SPECTATORS, who
desire to get possession Of Tom for concert
and other moaey making purposes. Tom

he could, bis desire 10 stay with his old
owner ard guardian. After argument yes

Wall PaDer !!
No. mortgages recorded, 6;
Amount secured, $4,000.

The time of year has now arrived when
housekeepers begin to contemplate i'm
proving and beautifying their homes.
The first thing to be done toward making
a room beautiful, is to cover the wall
with attractive paper. There is no rea-
son why the hulnblest homes in the coun-
try should not show as attractive rooms
as the more pretentious buildings in the
city. All that is needed is the intelligent
use of the beautiful wall paper to be pur-
chased at the great store of S. G. Longbon
&Co., Broadway. Jackson, Ohio. No bus
iness house in Southern Ohio can show
prettier line of papers than this store.
Let those who wish to make home doubly-
attractive, call in and see the samples of
paper. You are certain of gentlemanly
treatment, fair dealing, and reasonable
prices, at this store. In addition to the
specially of beautiful wall papers, there is
always on hand full line of the goods u.s.
ually kept in frst-class book and station
ary store, and many novelties. A visit to
Longbon's store will pay. Two doors
above the PoStottice.

Another Novelty.

The time will soon come when carpets
will have to be taken up, hung over Il line,
beaten and shaken. Then they will be
put down again.
Every spring there is great demand for
old newspapers, and the heavy brown pa
per that comes AS wrappers. around bun
dies of paper. This is used to put under
carpets. But it does little good, as the
dust filters through the carpet, and settles
ON the paper same as on the floor. The
carpet grinds on this dust, and soon
wears out.
Call at Dungan's Store and get a bun
die of nice, clean straw, broken up into
short pieces, and put it under your car
pet. 1t will be soft and nice, and the
dust will settle through it and be ON the
floor, while the straw will keep the car
pet off the dust.

Survival OF The Fittest.

The above applies not only to the hui
man race, but also to all kinds of business,
where competition reaches the acme, or
point where some must cease to exist.
One hundred years ago Thomas Robert
Malthus was living. He was learned
Englishman, and he came to the conclu-
sion that the increase of population would
in time outgrow the means of support,
and that many of the human race would
starve to death.
When there are too many newspapers,
merchants, lawyers, doctors, laborers, &C.,
some must quit, and here comes in the
above maxim, or whatever you may term
it.
do not know that there are too many
retail dealers in Jackson. There have
been no failures, and do not think there
is any danger of any. One thing is GER
tain; o. S. Miller's Store is one among the
fttest, and is sure to survive. Some may
ascertain that they are not needed, and
may quietly close out. Miller's will not
be one of these, whatever may be the close
ness of the times, or the dullness in buisi-
ness.

Sprinr at Last.

Some time ago the Standard spoke
about G. Graham being about to take to
the road again. There was thunder
storm, and this suggested the propriety
of having lightning rods to protect build
ings, and good roofs for the same purpose
aud pumps in wells and cisterns; but in
day or two there was a change, and the
mercury in the thermometer went down
10 and II degrees below Zero. Then ii
kept not only Graham himself, but all
his hands, busy selling and repairing
stoves, CRATES, coal buckets, SC. Now he
is prepared to attend to all out door work
and to all calls in the shop.

There is every indication that the Re-
union is going to be big time in Jack
son. From every direction re hear of
those who contemplate coming, and in
case we should have favorable weather,
there will be good attendance. The
Committees are actively at work, and a
united effort will be made to give the
old veterans grand reception. All who
can conveniently, should turn out on that
day, and those residing in the country
should come to town, making it indeed a
gala-day. Some of the best citizens of
the county marched away with the old
Fifty-Third, and some of them did not
return, some have died since coming
home, and it seems that all our citizens
should feel an interest in the survivors
of the brave old Regiment. This Reun-
ion will be held just twenty-three years
after the disastrous battle of Shiloh,
where the SD boys received their "bap-
tism of fire."
