DEATH OF MRS. WORKMAN.

Nus. Wary Workman Cor ''Mame.' as she fa-
milarly known among her friends,) died last
Saturday. after an Illness of few days. during which
time she suffered greatly. Mrs, Workman the
wife of Martin V. Workman, the Nurseryman and
second daughter of old fellow-cit Dr. j. W.
Laird She faithful, patient loving mother
and wife looking carefully to the inter-
est of her husband. She good Christian wo-
man. of excellent mind, and untiriDg industry.
She leaves five children and this seemed to be her
sole regret dying She had fears for thefuture
in far she personally concerned, but seemed
regret that her loved be left without her
care.
How the time flies, and how rapidly our friends are
dropping out, one by one! 1t seems but few years
since we attended the same school with Mary Laird
then happy. light-hearted girl-in the Union
School Building in this place. Since that time we
have been called upon to record the death of many
friend of our boyhood days, but none with feeling
of deeper sadness than this We cannot pay
fitting tribute to this memory. We tired of
ing friends carried to the cemetery yet the
sweet consolation springs within the saddened heart
that while they who died this died, leave all
of the gloom, and at their going, they 70 in
herit eternal peace and joy.
The funeral services were conducted at the family
residence South Street, Monday, by Rev. F. s.
Davis. of the NJ E. Church, and the remains, n
closed in beautiful casket. upon which rested
wreath of exquisite flowers, placed in the
terry.

FATHER MOTHER, YOUR BLESSING
THE DEAR CHILDREN RUN AWAY AND
GET MARRIED

Johnny MotZ is a stylish, gentlemanly
young man who runs the fine barbering
establishment on Main Street, in Hunters
| building. Miss Alice-now Mrs. Motz-
is the handsome daughter of our young
friend W. T. Price, manager of the Rail-
road and Insurance Agency. These two
young people have been keeping company
for some time, and are evidently deeply
in love with one another. But Johnny
is only about nineteen, and Alice not yet
seventeen, and it was thought best by the
young lady's friends that they wait year
or so before joining their fortunes for
life.
On last Wednesday Miss Alice conclud-
ed to go to Samsonville and visit Miss
Gertie Shropshire There was nothing
strange in that, and the parents readily
consented. AS strange coincidence,
when the bus passed down to the depot,
on Thursday, there was very pleasant
looking young man standing upon the
steps of the vehicle. He was going down
the road, too. But he went on to Ports
mouth. Another strange coincidence,
when the train stopped at Samsonville,
Miss Alice and Gertie came into the
coach. They were going to Portsmouth,
too. Then, as there were no "old folks"
around, these young people, Johnny and
Alice, concluded to procure licence in
Portsmouth and get married-which they
did. Now the penitent children are back
home, enjoying the blessings and congrat-
ulations of hosts of friends, to which is
also added those of the Standard.
The couple were married at the Bigelow
Chapel Parsonage, Portsmouth, by the
Pastor

E. School gives promise of being great
success. 1t will perhaps be the finest
affair of it's kind ever held in this place.
MoNDAY-Freezing cold weather
again. Mrs. Pierce and her son
William attended the funeral of Mrs.
Workman to-day. Miss Samantha
Downey, of Glen Roy, called to-day. 49,.
A well-known citizen went to a store in
this place on Saturday and secured two
boxes of boys hats to take home and fit
out his little fellows, bringing back the
boxes with the remaining hats. To-day
the little daughter of the citizen brought
back the hats again. and upon investiga-
tion it was discovered that the man had
gotten the wrong boxes, and returned to
the store his wife's bonnet and his daugh-
ter's hat. . Henry Workman, of Ham
is here to-day. 49,. This weather is rough
on early gardens, and there are some fears
for wheat. One old citizen remarked a
few days ago that he had planted a lot of
beans in his garden, "but," said he, 81
planted kind that cannot be injured by
the frost" That is the kind of seed that
is badly needed in this locality-a kind
that may be frozen solid about twice a
week, and still.grow right along.
TUEsDAY-Mr. w. S. Callahan called
to-day. He is on his way to Oberlin, to
attend the Pen Art School of Prof. Mi |
chael. -. The School of Mr.. Morgan is |
having good attendance. and the session |
bids fair to be grandly successful.

In the Pilot House.

"Yes, sir; this kind of work obliges
man to keep sober as a judge. Of all
men in the world, steamboat pilots and
railroad engineers should let liquor alone.

ness of head depends the safety of life
and property"
Keeping his hand ON the wheel as he

have the best positions and the best pay.

This preparation, which is been known
as Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter
be advertised and sold simply under the
name of Parker's Tonic. AS unprinci-
pied dealers are constantly deceiving
their customers by substituting inferior
articles under the name of ginger. and as
ginger is really an unimportant ingredi-
ent, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the
| preparation itself, and all the bottles re-
naming in the hands of dealers, wrapped
under the name of Parker's Ginger Ton
ic, contain the genuine medicine if the
fac simile signature of Hiscox & Co. is at
the bottom of the outside wrapper.

To the readers of the Standard, 1 wish
to return the heartfelt thanks of the true
and honest men of Hooking, for their lib
erality towards US, from all sources.
Jackson County contributed upwards of
$4,000. May God help defeated Labor,
for we are in terrible fix here at pres
ent. Many of us can not get our work
back and the wants Of our people are
fearful. In fact, our suffering to great
extent is just commencing. Miners are
flocking in from all parts of the country,
and are being employed in preference to
the old miners. The Syndicate has one
mine in New Straitsville ready to start,
and are offering forty cents per ton.
All the mines in Sunday Creek Valley
are posted for fifty cents per ton. What
the next move will be, the Lord only
knows, for 1 do not. I take pleasure in
returning thanks to all friends in Jackson
County outside of the mining ranks, for
the interest they took in our struggle. To
miners and citizens bid you goodbye.
1 am yours truly. &c,

SEVENTEEN HUNDRED AND FOUR.

The Standard this week prints II quires,
or 1904 papers. No wonder that adverti-
sers are urging to get space in the STAN
dard. Agencies in Cincinnati, st. Louis,
Chicago. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadel-
phia, New York, and other cities, want to
get space, and they all have a proviso
that if the paper at any time should re-
sort to the patent inside or outside, or to
the stereotype patent block plan, the con-
tracts shall end. The Standard will not
come to that. All reading matter is put
in type in the Standard office, and print
ers are paid for setting the type there.

We have received from T. J. Harrison
a copy of the Bethany, Missouri, Repu6-
licdi2, which contains an account of the
recent indictment of George D. Williams.
for the murder of Isaac B. McCollum, in
1884. The complaint is made by Alexan-
der McCollum. This is our Alex. McCol-
1um, who married a Vandivort, and who
lived about Jackson for years, and was a
soldier in the 36th Ohio. The paper states
that the difficulty in 1864 grew out of the
war feeling, Williams being Union Sol
dier. and McCollum being regarded as a
rebel-sympathizer.

BUNDY'S BOOM!
HARMAR, O., April 10, 1886

HARMAR, O., April 10, 1885.
To the Editor of the Standard:
Your proposing the name of the Hon. 81. s.
Bundy. as a candidate for Governor, should
meet the approval of every Republican in
for which Ohio is lannon's, he would bring to the
honesty of purpose, jealous and fearless re-
gard for public interest, together with a large
experience.
We recall the remark made by Mr.. Bundy
several years ago, touching his early life, and
its incidents. He said that to the kind words of
advice and admonition received in his boyhood
days from the lips of Col. David Barber he was
indebted more than to all else for his success in
life. Col. Barber, then a merchant i'll Meigs
County, was also Postmaster, at whose Office
Mr.. Bundy, then lad, delivered the mail upon
his weekly trips, horseback. The Colonel kind
ly but earnestly urged upon him the necessity
of letting honesty. industry aud promptness
characterize all the transactions and duties of
his life.
Other Members of Congress would do well,
take the Colonel as the man OF their council,
and give heed to his precepts and injunctions.
Col. Barber, now far beyond the meridian of
life, has for many years been resident of Har-
mar, where he has held positions of RESPONSE
bllity and trust, both State and National. That
those principles of honesty and justice so faith
fully urged upon others have guided him
through his long and useful life, in all his acts,
both private and official, one can for mo-
ment doubt. ]. F. STEVENS.
