subject from the same isste OF The Repub-

Be honest from principle, not policy.
How would it do to hang few OF the

Parents, above all things, teach your
children TO be honest,
No man who Is not honest IL entitled to

Let us drop such terms as 'Skillful innn-

speak of the man that steals as thief.
How long will it be before man will
stand or fall in Virginia on his own merits
and not on those Of his iamily2
When Lee asrires to anything in Vir-
ginia, il is expected that all other people
will get out of the way, and they general
ly do 1t, too.
Once more the prestige of family name
has succeeded in putting aside the aspra-
tlons of men of.ftness and ability IN Yir-
ginia, and the result is that "Euny" Lee
has been nominated for Congress IN the
eighth Virginia district over the heads of
more competent men. Well if the Virginia
Democrats can stand 1t, we can.

Sleep. IL You Would Work.

that their employment in the absence of
any medical authority is largely on the

drugs. Not few deaths have been
caused by their use, and in still larger
number of cases they have helped to prca

of its protean forms, and the two cond's

much the same in all cases. Sleep

by loss of flesh and strength, nervous ir-

Boring for Gas. Our Village Council
on Tuesday evening, finding that with the
funds on hand and that ready TO be turned
in from the Way estate, there would be
sufficient funds to make the experiment OF
riuk:ng we'll TO ascertain what is beneath
us, decided to make the experiment and
resolution with that object in view passed..
The resolution, winch explains itself, will
be found ia our advertising columns.
The Company formed some line since
passed resolution to not commence oper-
ations until $4,000 had been subscribed
and was IN reach. Only $4,000 OF this
amount was subscribed aud here The mat
ter rested. There would have been n
strong opposition to any effort of the coun.
Gil taking the remainder of this stock.
Yet there is desire to see the experiment
tested, and if gas lie obtained give the
people of the village the benefit and not a
stock company who would have 1t in their
power TO make il burden IN place of a
benefit. Then again il In not considered
beneficial to have a surplus In the treasury
1t makes our Spring campaigns too lively
altogether which is source OF bad bloc ]
among neighbors. Besides there are many
burglars al large IN the land who are on
the lookout for such stakes.
In compliance with the resolution, May
or Pierce, and Messrs. Finkbsiner and
Hoover went to FindIay To-day to gather
necessary information 10 proceed intelli-
gently with the work.

A CA R d.

Now that the county campaign is over, desire
10 thank my frieuds, both Democrats and Re-
publicans, who supported me with their inilu-
ence and votes for the Office OF Sheriff.
The nomination was unsought, for am not
and never was q politician /; but when it was
rendered deemed 1t my duty to accept, and did
SO knowing the almost hopeless fight entered
into. The result have no reason to be asham-
ed OF, and again thank my friends for support
ing me as well as they did.
On my part the canvas was conducted with all
fairness but regret TO say it was not so with
my opponents. Numberless falsehoods were
told of me, and one in particular desire to de-
nounce The statement originating with Chas.
Evers. that had notified merchants who did
not vote for me that hereafter they would re-
c,ive none of my trade, is false In every particu-
ar 1 did notify Mr. Evers that had no furth-
er use for his scurrilous and untruthful sheet
and that is the foundation of that lie.
Trusting that the next contest in whith the
taxpaoers and farmerB are arreyed against the
theiving ring which now infests Wood county
will be more successful, remain, very respect
fully, GPo. MURRAY BROWN
The above card appeared In the Wood
County Democrat, Oct. 21st, 1880. just after
his first election. When compared in
connection with the item copied from
the Sentinel in our last weeks issue, in
which the editor speaks of the good time
that he and others expect to have on Mr..
Browns 400 acre farm when he retirss
from office, it would seem that great
change had come over the spirit of Mr.
Browns dreams. "The taxpayers and
farmers arrayed against the thieving
ring which now infests Wood county,
would be pleased to know what has pro
duced this rather sudden conversion and
to get Mr.. Browns latest impressions
of this "thieving ring"

Natural Gas,

Long as man has been on this planet, he
az yet is not aware of all that is on the
earth, much less under it. Petroleum
wells have great antiquity; but it is only
of late years that mineral oils have been
found literally in hundreds of places. In
boring for oil, natural gas has been dis
covered. A few years ago 1t was consider
ed a marvel, but to-day there are numerous
holes in the ground through which gas
flows in never-ceasing stream nor is II
to be found alone in the region south. east
Of Lake Erie. 1t has been discovered at SO
many different points, that it is now begin
ming to be suspected that wherever coal is
found oil and gas are not far off. Natural
gas has effected revolution in the iron
trade of Western Pennsylvania. Makers
of Steal now dispense with coal and save
large sums by using gas, not only rs an il
luminant, but also rs fuel. There is
reason to believe that our large cities will
eventually be supplied with natural gas
brought in pipes from the regions where
found, and which will be sold for half the
price of coal gas.-Demorest's Monthly.

Sailed for Tnledo.-The old nlanir

Sailed for TOledO.-The old planning
mill took out her clearance papers this
morning, and at A. NJ. started out for To-
ledo, quietly seated on two scows as snug
as bug in rug. There was no little
speculation as to the depth the weight of
the building and machinery would settle
the scows. G. w. Hufford bet the cigars
on two feet, and lost. The scows did not
draw but about twelve inches more than
they did before the mill was loaded. The
Office was loaded on the third scow, which
was hitched on behind, and with one little
tug in front the fleet sailed out as grace
fully as a swan. The rain and other caus-
es produced some vexatious delays, but
the result has proven complete success
and established the fact beycnd doubt
that building can be removed intact by
the water route.
We"stop the press" TO announce that
tidings have reached here that all landed
safely at the destined dock in Toledo at
noon.

The following is taken from the report
of the yearly meeting of the Quakers Of
Ohio!
APPEAL TO THE GOVERNMENT ON TEMPER
ANcB.
The Ohio Yearly meeting OF Friends
would appeal 10 the government Of the
United States to prohibit, under heavy
penalty, the sale OF Intoxicating liquots at
the Soldiers Home at Dayton, Ohio. By
the sale OF liquors there we are adding to
the misery and rendering more dependent
upon others those men who hazarded their
lives for our country, and who demand our
sympathy and careful protection.
We further desire to make our protest
against the pernicious example that the
Congress of the United States has eel in
permitting n saloon or bar in the Capitol
building at Washington.
We hereby ask our government, through
our representatives, in Congress, to imme-
dately abolish the caloon at the Soldiers
Home, and the one ut the Capitol at Wash,
ington also, to abolish the sales OF liquors
~ II beverage, in the District OF Columbia
and all other places over which Congress
has control.

DECLARATIONS

THIS yearly meeting further declares that
liquor traffic, by law, is the supreme issue
before the American people and nothing
short OF the entire suppression of the man
ufacture, sale and use of all Intoxicating
liquors will satisfy the demands OF the
church. And TO secGre that, with the right
protection of the home from the appalling
consequences OF the traffic, we would urge
upon our membership to support to civil
office only such men as are Internationally
committed TO the principle of prohibition
and the enforcement Of such laws"
