come into general use here after the
works were once started, as the con-
venience Of gas is far greater than
coal oil. 1t would be a positive bless
ing to be done rubbing and trimming
lamps, and inhaling the foul gases
that arise from the oils. Want of
space forbids our speaking more at
length of this matter this week.
Meantime, let verybody go in for the
gas works at once We have sought
for ths, natural article, and failed. The
artificial article will not fail us, IL We
do our duty.
The subject of a Soldiers Monu-
ment at this place, has been talked of
for a long time, but no definite action
has ever been taken in the matter as
yet. No one, perhaps, will deny that
it would be beautiful tribute to the
dead, and one which would enlist all

Monument in the cemetery at this
place. There is point adjoining tie
cemetery grounds where such a mon
ument could be placed upon high
ground, in a commanding position,
and in a spot worthy of such "a stone
as should be placed It is time this
movement was taking definite shape.
Each township would be willing to
assist In SO noble cause. There are
soldiers, and soldiers friends all ever
the county, who would assist, liberal
ly, in such an enterprise. Other coun-
ties have already erected beautiful
memorial shafts Nov: let the sub
ieet be taken hold Of at once, and let
there be such a monument erected in
the cemetery at this place as will fit
tingly honor the brave men who did
and dared SO much for country.

There is much squirming!among the
Democratic politicians of Ohio just at
this time. It is hald for them to un-
derstand the situation. The man who
wanders away from the depot, and
fails to note that the train is moving
out, until it is too late, may fnme and
swear, and blame somebody else for
his misfortune, but he cannot lose
sight of the fact that he is left. The
Senators who ran into hole and for
got to pull the hole in after them, are
finding fault with Clerk Vailandig-
ham because. he would not be party
to theft, in the interest of Democracy.
In fact there is a general finding fault
with one another. The fangs of con-
science seem to be goading them like
bees on woolly dog-they can neith-
er be quieted nor shaken off. The
Democrat is firm believer in the
adage " be virtuous and you will be
happy" but he never finds it out until
it is too late.

Gen. Grosvenor delivered the Dec
grafton Day Grafton at Nashville,
Tennessee. There was mingling of
Blue and Gray. and addresses by two
Ex-Rebel Generals, the Bands played
The Star Spangled Banner, and Dixie,
and there was general good feeling.
Gen Grosvenor's remarks were full Of
the true patriotic ring, and the Re
bellion and its projectors were accord
ed their proper place in history. There
was no sickening sentimentality, only
plain dealing with facts, which all
seemed to recognize. 1t was borne in
mind that the South had gone into
treason and rebellion, and was crush
ed, and that the treason must forever
be odious and horrible. There is no
use trying to place it in any other
light. No man will go to the judg-
ment bar weighted down with a great
er load of widows tears and widows
curses than Jeff. Davis and his fellow
conspirators. The only view the
present and future generations can
take of the work Of the traitors, is
that it is the " blackness of Darkness "
so to speak.
e
