An exchange has the following to
say on Il subject that never grows
old: ga newspaper is like a church,
it wants fostering. Take your home
paper. 1t gives you more news of
immediate interest than New York
and other papers. 1t talks for you
when other papers belle you, it
stands up for your rights, you al
ways have a champion in your home
paper, and those who stand up for
you should certainly be well sus-
tanned. Your interests are kindred
and equal. and you must rise and
fall together. Therefore it is to
your interest to support your home
paper; not as "a disagrecable duty,
but as an investment that will
amply repay the expenditure"

Our exchanges are teeming with
the news of tie wonderful natural
gas discoveries at Lancaster, Ohio.
This city has a daily yield of 49,
100000 cubic feet a day. a gentle
man who was present at the Cen
tennial Celebration, April 30, when
the .'old man himself well with n
yield of 5000, 600 cubic feet was lit
up, says. it was the grandest sight
he ever saw. or ever expected to see
again. He describes it, as being be-
yond comparison, as lac stood near
the tubing, and looked skyward, in
to the immense flame, he imagined
he could see the handsome, dignified,
nobIe-lOoking countenance, of Gen
cr,lI Tom Ewing, the elder, smiling
his congratulations upon the new
generation that had sprung up since
his dece,lse, and in the roar of the
well, could almost be distinguished
his stentorian voice urging his peo-
pie, to take advantage of the great
treasure the Almighty had placed
at their doors. Lancaster in the
past has been known as the home of
the Ewings, the Shermans, and that
of Blaine. In the future it will be
known as the center of the largest
gas field in the world. And we may
add in this connection, that our
former townsman, Capt Frank Bar
rett, is now in Lancaster, the mama
ger for the Syndicate who are going
to build the Street r. r. and other
enterprises. If the genia! Capt. is
placed at the head of the boom it's

takes what he can get his hands on,
silvcrwrae. clothes, eatablcs, all lit

should be taken against this fellow
by locking the doors i'll one part of
the house if the people are to stay
i'll the other. Our friends who drive
into town are also warned to protect
their property from the thief, as late
ly we have heard of many articles
being stolen from buggies which
their owners had bought and depos-
tied there while the vehicle would
be standing in front of stores.
Don't put anything in the buggy
unless you watch it with AN eagle
eye. This practice is going on. as
we have been SO informed by those
who have been losers. We regret
that such sne:llls are in our midst,
but the proof shows that they are
and that they must be watched for.

Whether the people have voted
for the Jail bonds, or not, we are to
have a new Jail. The Circuit Court
order makes this mandatory upon
the County Commissioners, and
they can not avoid it, even of they
desire to do so. But in its erection
care should be taken not to make it
too costly. 1t should be complete
in all its appointments and hand
some in appearance. To accom-
plish this, a good architect should
be employed to make plan of the
building, who would no doubt bring
the building complete, inside of
$50, 900.
