Teeth for Ten Dollars at the office
of DIR. Jones, Dentist.
Judge Fitzgerald, of Cincinnati, has
been the most vigorous Judge i'll the
enforcement of the law that the
wicked city has had of late years. A
few days ago the Judge addressed
paper to the Saloon-Keepers' Associa-
ton, in which he strongly condemned
the practice of selling liquor to mi
nors. The Association of Devils
Agents endorsed the Judges sentl-
ments regarding the horrible practice.
These are good saloon-keepers; OF
course they do not want to do any
thing wrong! That action, however,
was for the public. The observation
of mankind generally with regard to
the doggery-keeper, is that he has no
more conscience than wolf. 1t is
not the character nor age Of the Gus
toner that moves hint is the desire
to get the money for his slops, and as
a rule-if it can be done without fear
of being found out-he will sell to
anybody, old, young, drunk or sober.
The boy is permitted to come into the
den, and learn the ways that find favor
there, and by the time he gets to be
man he is ruined, beyond all hope of
redemption. A man or boy who un-
dertakes to be even moderate drink
er, or who 'can take a glass when he
wants it, is not desirable in any bus
mess, from the fact that he cannot
tell what moment he will fall hope
less victim, neither can his employers
tell when, or how much, their busi-
ness will be neglected. 1t is the les
son Of everyday life that absolute
abstinence from the use Of intoxicants
forms very important qualification
OF the young business man. This may
not be generally known among those
who drink ''harmlessly," but it is true.
Many man who fails to hold lucra-
tive situation, attributes his failure to
various causes, when there is just one
ause-intemperance, and the fear of
its results If men could be persuaded
to take calm, sensible view Of this
dreadful crime Of intemperance, there
would soon be less of it in the world.

Rev. f. r. Crooks, Of Coalton, is
gentleman whose acquaintance we
prize very much, as being not only an
active and Jealous young Minister,
but man of generally sound ideas.
In the last issue Of the Wellston
Argus, Mr.. Crooks says:
rs it not wanton cruelty to slaugh-
ter birds for the purpose of adorning
the dresses and headgear of women?
It is said that humming birds are lit
orally skinned alive to preserve the
beauty Of the feathers. Think of
this, O tender woman! The writer
remembers seeing Methodist's bish-
ops wife's head decked out with
stuffed birds. Bro. Mackley, may
your trenchant pen tackle this too.
Yes, it is not only wanton cruelty,
but "wantin' in taste. We maintain
that live woman is prettier than
dead bird, and that pretty face can
not be enhanced in beauty by having
a stuffed bird sprawled above it, the
position of the bird indicating that it
had died of collie. We have seen la
dies hats SO rugged with birds and
feathers that at first glance they Gre
ated the impression that the pretty
head was surmounted by a ''rufiy"
rooster, who was about to crow over
his victory over style and taste. This
array of feathers, and the latest rage
in ''neck-bangs," place the lady in the
position of the male turkey with
feathers spread-the front view being
decidedly the prettier. Feathers make
pretty trimmings and ornaments. But
the ostrich can supply the markets
with the choicest styles without the
sacrifice of life. The slaughter of in
nocent birds is the extreme Of cruelty
Were the English Sparrows of more
gaudy plumage, these remarks would
not have been written-but unfortu-
nately those little pests are as ugly
as disagreeable. Seriously, we think
the laws should protect all birds Of
handsome plumage or pleasing song,
as fully as they protect the qualify
making the person exposing them for
sale equally guilty with the slayer.

Bro. Roy, of the Wellston Argus,
says:
"The elder Mackley, of the Stan
dard, is writing sketches of pioneer
life in Jackson county which are ex-
ceedingly interesting. The early set
tiers of the country were brave stall
wart men and women; and their trials
and their triumphs deserve to be re-
membered with gratitude by their
sons and daughters"
1t was through their trials and tri-
umphs that we are are permitted to
enjoy the measure Of peace and pros
perity that we enjoy to-day. Life hath
it's ills at all times, but each succeed
ing generation is permitted to enjoy |
some good as a result of the labors
and sacrifices of the old heads that
have ceased to worry about the con-
ficts and trials of human affairs. An
old cOlored man. in speakino of the |
