There is one thing in which Jack.
son County is sadly behind almost ev.
cry county in the State, and that is in
the matter Of a Soldiers Monument
Memorial Hall, or some other building
to honor the memory Of the Jackson
County Soldiers. Scioto has a beau
tlful monument in the park at Ports
mouth. Lawrence is to have a fine
Memorial Hail. Almost all other
counties in the State have tributes to
their soldiers. Jackson County has
none. Wa are pleased to note that
strong sentiment is growing in this
county. in favor Of erecting a Memo
rial Hall here. 1t would cost but
trife from soldiers and their friends.
Individually, to erect building that
would be credit to the county, and
an honor to the brave men who bat
lied for the country. The building
should of course be erected at the
county seat, and might be made a
general headquarters for G.. A. R. and

mutton of very fine quality. The late
George Geddes sententiously defined
the difference between the mutton of
the Downs and that of the Cotswold
and other long-wooled sheep. In con-

"In England the Downs supply the
mutton for the gentry, and the long
wools the mutton for the laboring

Sweet Flowers.

The fairest buds are often the first
to wither, and the ravages of disease
make havoc with the beauty, as well
as the strength and happiness of the
fair sex. The prevalent disorders
among American women are those of
most distressing description. These
weaknesses as they are suggestively
termed, insidiously sap the health, and
the patient becomes pale and emacia-
ted, the appetite grows tickle and fee

increase in severity, and is in despair.
There is relief for all such sufferers in

cessation Of the ''dragging-down"
pains, return Of appetite, and in due
course, vigorous health.

Obituary.

John W. Steele. the subject Of this
memoriam, was born in Frederick
County, Virginia. January 21, 1910.
He removed with his parents to Ad-
ans County, Ohio. and thence to
jackson County, Ohio. where he re-
sided for 6S years. He was married
July %, 1910. to Philoma Kerns;
from this union were born four chill
dren, three Of whom survive him. He
was permitted to enjoy his wife's com
pany for but six years, death remov-
ing her December 10, 1916. For years
be made his home with his son Will
liam, of Franklin Township, where he
departed this life February s, 1883,
aged 7o years and II days. He was
patient through a long sickness,
though suffering much, frequently re-
joicing2 in hope of death. Again we
are reminded that this world is not
our home. Death has again claimed
and taken his victim. Another chair
has been vacated. Another home has
been further divided. Another father
has passed from his children into his
e'ernal home. Another citizen has
left his fellow-men toiling and strug-
Cling amidst the perplexities of this
life, and gone to that bourne whence
none return. Another pioneer has,
after years Of active life in clearing
up this once forest and assisting in
building school-houses and churches,
laid himself down for rest. Father
Steele will ever be remembered as an
honest, upright, honorable man.

Columbus Letter.
CoIuMRns Eehrr,

COLUMBUS, FebTuary IL.
| Yesterday being Sunday, and not
overstocked with work, I made the
ascent to the dome of the capitol
which in my imagination is built
something after the fashion of the
Tower of Babel. | only wondered
Why they did not build higher, but
looking either way from the dome it
IS grand scene looking out on High
street at the people passing to and
fro. 1t reminds me of an evening in
Jackson after the dismissal of the
public schools-the people not look
ing larger than school children at the
distance. In company with Mr.. Nor
ris, formerly of Jackson, I took a
stroll over part Of the city to-day,
our objective point being the Blind
Asylum and the Asylum for the Deaf
and Dumb, which we reached after
All hours walk. Our line of march
was down Broad street, one of the
the most beautiful streets and drives
in the city; stately edifces and fine
mansions grace the street on either
side. But one Of the most imposing
structures is the Broad Street Metho
dist Church. Surely Solomon's Tenn
pie could not have been as fine as this.
This church is built of stone, the col
or being light green, which is very
pretty.
The Blind Asylum is also very |
fine building. This is also built of
stone, and is surrounded by beauti-
fui park. One thing I noticed which
was very surprising to me was the
little blind boys playing around
among the trees and passing to and
Fro with as much ease apparently as
me who could see. Mr.. Morris in
:ormed me that many of them could

Effects of Climate.

We hear great deal said about the
beneficial effect upon invalids of the
climate of Colorado and other Western
localities, but when a man changes
his place of residence in the hope of
improving his health without first
trying DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, makes great mistake. In
nine cases out of ten he might save
his time and money. This great rem
eddy owes It's power over all affections
OF the throat and lungs, bronchitis,
asthma, catarrh, and even consump-
ton, which is lung scrofula, to the
simple fact that it purifes and enrich
es e the blood and invigorates the debil-
itated system.

What One Farmers Club Did.
PROF. CHAS. E. BESSEY, NEB.

The Lancaster County, Nebraska,
Farmers Club met regularly once a
month during the year 1887. The
meetings were held at the homes of
the members, usually in some shady
grove, where seats and tables were
provided, the latter for refreshments.
which were brought by the mem hers
IN great abundance When the cool
weather of the fall came on, the m e.
lngs were held indoors, the parlor of
some large farmhouse being used for
the purpose The last meeting for
the year took place on the 22d of De-
cember, in the rooms Of the botanical
department Of the State University.
Arrangements had previously been
made to have this meeting somewhat
different fro.u the preceding ones. In
the botanical laboratory fifteen COM
pound microscopes were placed upon
convenient tables. Those on one side
OF the room contained specimens of
the rusts and smuts of grain, and the
fungi which produce leaf and twig
blight On the other side were in
struments of very high powers con-
tanning carefully made preparations
showing the germs (bacteria) which
produce ''hog cholera" (swine plague),
anthrax, and ''Texas fever" besides
other objects, such as the trichina in
pork and in human muscle, the para
site in 'measly" pork which produces
tape-worm, etc. Upon three tables
near the entrance to the room were
skillfully-made dissections showing
the appearance to the naked eye of
the different organs of the pig when
affected by hog cholera.
At half-past one, the President of
the Club called the meeting to order,
and after warning the members
against certain tree-peddlers who now
lnfest this county, he read his annual
address, in which he urged every
farmer to keep himself informed on
all matters pertaining to agricultural
progress, by the reading of good pa
pers and books. DR.. Billings, Of the
Agricultural Experiment Station of
the State University, then talked upon
hog cholera, its nature, cause, and pre-
vention, illustrating his lecture by
means OF numerous alcoholic speci-
mems, which were passed through the
audience for inspection. Afterward
all adjourned to the laboratory, where
the lecturer explained his various
preparations to the members. who |
crowded around him, and asked many |
questions which evinced their deep in
terest. After time spent in going
from microscope to microscope, where
(from the science classes
Of the University were waiting to ex-
plain the nature of the specimens, the
Club adjourned, feeling that the after
noon had been Que full of instruction
and profit. 1t had been, in fact,
school, in which the pupils were
grown men from their farms, often
yray-headed, but all as eager to learn
is if they were school-boys still.
