STATE OF OHIO, EXECUTIVE DEPT, !
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR.
To THE PEOPLE OF OHIO:
The President of the United States
has appointed Thursday, the 25th inst,
to be observed as a day of National
Thanksgiving.
1t is pleasant duty to call the atten-
tion of the people of this State thereto
and ask them to rest from labor and de-
vote the day so designated to the wor-
ship of Almighty God, and to such 9th
er deeds and manifestations as may be
appropriate to show that devout thank
fulDess which, as Christian people, we
should feel for the loving kindness and
bounteous mercies with which we are
and have been favored.
Our blessings are greater than we can
number. We have been spared while
others have been Overtaken by calamity.
We have peace and prosperity; liberty
and education are universal aud appre-
ciated as essential to good government.
1t is but duty to both ourselves and
our country to acknowledge our depend
ence upon Divine Providence for all
these enjOyments and to seek in prayer
for their continuance. Happy is that
people whose God is the Lord"
In testimony whereof have subscrib-
ed my name and cansed to be affixed
the great seal of the State at Columbus,
the 5th day of November, 1886.

UNIONTOWN.

On the day of the election the Shep-
herdstOwn and Uniontown base ball
clubs had trial of skill, lust friend
ly," and not matched game. The re-
suit was a tie.
ELECTION NOTES.-Mr James Humph-
rey appeared before Squire A w Lee, of
this township, and made affidavit that
he had been approached and rendered
SO to vote for two candidates on the
Democratic ticket, and that he was
ready TO give the name of the person
when required to do so. He further
testified that the person VINO made the
offer asserted that there were others,
and that man would be present with
the money on the day of the election.
Two double votes were found in the
ballot box, and were promptly thrown
out. Both were Democratic, and evil
IDENTIFY had been voted by mistake.
An explanation by the clerks and
judge of the election will make plain
that no fraud was practiced in the foot
ing up of the returns, ,and that the count
was honestly made.
An error was committed in the count
ing the last ballot in the box, which
was Democratic for the reason that the
ballots exceeded by one the names of
voters recorded on the tally sheets.
The Prohibition vote of this precinct
was increased to IA over vote of 3 last
election. Many tickets were scratched,
and the names of persons advocating
the license system of prohibition We're
put upon the ticket; i. e.: these opposed
to sumptuary laws: liquor men aided
those who were electioneering for pro-
by openly peddling tickets and
trying to induce Republicans to vote
and to induce ProhibitionisGs to scratch
the name of Judge Kelly.

AN article prepared for Howe's forth
coming history of Ohio says that "Petro-
feum was first found in Ohio, and per-
haps the world, in what is now Noble
county, within one mile of Caldwell, the
county seat. In 1916 Robert Mckee, one
of the early pioneers and a man of great
energy, began drilling well for salt
water, and struck crevice containing
oil, which gave him great trouble in the
manufacture of salt, and which finally
led to the abandoned of the well and
the drilling of other wells to obtain a
supply of salt water free from the oil.
This well still continues to yield oil in
small quantities"
