Rally for Temperance.
[COmnunicAted.1

We have been hearing much concern.
ing the power and the place of moral
suasion in carrying on the work of tenn
perance reform. Some are ready to tell
US that they do not believe in trying to
save people by law, that moral suasion
is the right thing. Now wish to call
the attention of the community to the
fact that in the Gospel Temperance
meetings, conducted by Mr.. Woodford,
we have the moral suasion influence,
and I would urge that all friends OF tenn
perance unite in this work for the good
of the community. Iwould also bespeak
the interest and attendance of men who
may be intemperate in some degree.
Here is o chance for them to begin q
better and happier life.
am sure our community has never
been in greater need Of such work as
this than it is at the present time. I
have lived here twenty years, and I am
sure do not speak recklessly when ]
say that in all that time there. has never
been so little restraint upon drinking
among us as there is to-day. The signs
also OF drunkenness are startlingly com

The Record Broken.

Last week We announced the fact that
one of our citizens had succeeded in
shooting sixty birds in one day, but
John Benson, farmer of Rice county,
Minn., more thon doubles that number
last week in capturing wild ducks.
Quite bevy OF ducks had been slun-
bering in the shallow water OF lake
close to the farmers residence, and John
saw them trying to free themselves from
the ice which had frozen about their
legs during the night, and, with
common corn-cutter, succeeded in dip
ping off the heads of 1874. 1t was not
good day for ducks.

Wedding Anniversary.

A short time ago we acknowledged
the receipt of an invitation to attend the
twenty.fifth wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. j. s. Black. The celebration
of the event came off in good style, as
will be seen from the following clipping
taken from the Kansas City Journal o.
November 18th, 1887:
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS WE'D.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jere S. Black, 1880
Michigan avenue, celebrated their
twenty. fifth wedding anniversary last
Tuesday evening, the 18th inst, in a
very pleasant manner. A large num-
Der OF invited guests were present be.
tween the hours of 6 and Q, who extend
ed cordial congratulations, coupled with
good wishes, for the future. Mr.. and
Mrs. Black were married quarter of q
century ago in Hillsboro, O.. They have
been residents of this city for the past
seven years, and have found a warm
circle OF friends in their new home
Many handsome tokens Of remembrance
were received from acquaintances here
as we'll as lifelong friends in Ohio. MIR
and Mrs. Black we're assisted in receiv
ing and entertaining by Mr.. and Mrs. M
F. McCulloch, Miss Carrie Black ane
Mr.. Frank S. Black.

He WIN Stop at the Shoreham.

Hon. J. J. Pugsley and Mrs. Pugsley
will leave for Washington about the
25th inst, and will occupy rooms in Vice
President MOrton's elegant new fiat,
"The Shoreham," the handsomest and
already the most popular flat in Wash.
iDgton.
It is probable that the ladies' OF the
w. q. 7. U. were 80 busy with their bus
iness at Chicago, that they neglected to
send Mr.. Pugsley word that Mr.. Morton
had "taken out license to sell whisky"
or he would doubtles have refused to
take rooms at the Shoreham.-C Chillicothe
Leader.
The above is about as pointed as it
well could be under the circumstances.
The w. O. 7. US have never attained
any notoyiety for their failure to notify
in regard to any one selling whisky,
and as little notoriety has Congressman
Pugsley ever deserved or acquired by
his use OF the beverage. We are OF the
opinion that Mr.. Morton is gaining an
undeserved notOriety in this matter.

Sixteenth Anniversary.

One OF the most notable events that
ever occurred in Hillsboro will take place
the 23d of December. It happens to be
nothing less than gathering OF promi.
nent temperance people from all over
the United States, including the national
officers Of w. G. T, U. with all the state
Presidents (who are the Vice. Presidents
of the National) to celebrate the 10Th an.
niversary of the crusade. Those who live
here have little idea Of the--we might
say reverence, with which those away
from here look on this place, because Of
this crusade associations. No temper.

in great many instances in England,
but promises him or herself visit to
historic Hillsboro before they lay down
the burden of those who realize that
they are their brothers. keeper This
hope in all perhaps explains the coming
visit. Who cannot recall the Women's
Crusade? As morning after morning,
after earnest prayer to God for strength,
they walked two by two from the old
church so honored now because of their
presence going from it. Was it COM
posed of ignorant, fresh and forward
women? No, no, but of Hillsboro's
nobility. Look up list of their names,
many Of whose heads are now crowned
in heaven. The list contains.the names
OF our towns best women-ou cultivated,
educated, Christian women. What
more can be said of those who are com.
ing? Not Word. Not women who are
second to any, but the best our country
affords. Not ignorant women with q
desire to see and be seen, but noble,
cultivated, consecrated women who have
always looked forward to standingin the
place where our own mothers stood,

indeed "holy ground" 1t ceases TO be
a subject of interest to the few temper.

ourselves. -

To-day Thursday is the day set apart
both by custom and proclamation Of
those in authority for thanksgiving. As
the NEWS. HERALD reaches the most of
its readers before or early on the day of
its date OF publication Nov. 28th), 1t
would join its effort in encouraging the
sentiment that calls for this national
holiday. As people, the people of the
U. s. are inclined to adopt the "rapid
transit method" and wear themselves
out at an early period in life. Let the
fires of energy cool off little for one
day-Thanksgiving Day-and let each
with his neighbor enjoy the festivities
of the day, not forgetting those who are
not able to prepare feast.

while thanking customers for their past
patronage w. @. Morgan and Chas.
Lemon, the grocers, would call attention
to the fact that they will be found in

North High street, with full supply Of
everything in the grocery line at the
very lowest prices. To prove this state.

It might be we'll to call attention to
the fact that law went into effect this
month in reference to the hauling OF
heavy loads on free turnpike roads.
Any load Of $500 pounds requires that
the wagon on which it is placed shall
have a tire at least four inches wide.
Our turnpikes are greatly damaged each
winter and spring by heavy loads being
drawn over them on narrow tired
wagons. Those who do heavy hauling
on our roads should remember that there
is heavy penalty against violations Of
the law.

The fair and festival held under the
auspices Of the John M. Barrere Post
Of this place last week was decided
success, both financially and socially.
The tables were literally patronized and
30 were the entertainments given in the
evening. We are not in possession OF
the fact rs to the amosnt cleared, but in
conversation with members of the Post
we were given to understand that the
amount realized was satisfactory, as was
the methods pursued by the different
committees and the help rendered by
the ladies OF the town. There were
other groups OF citizens which rendered
attractive and substantial help, among
which might be mentioned the Hills
boro Military Band. Madame - 1--WE
forgot her name) with her war.work,
gave satisfaction to the fun.loving pub
lie. The Kid Minstrels are never in the
soup when they come before the public.
But we were cautioned by some of the
members OF the Post not TO single out
individuals in order to heap praise on
such, as all had done their respective
parts 80 well that determinations in
favor OF the few would only be refec-
ton on the many. The News. HERALD
was requested to cordially thank, in the
name of the Post, each and every one
who assisted in any way in making the
fair and festival as complete success as
it was, which we are happy to have the
privilege of doing.

some probability OF that house estab.

Llfe,s Disanpointment.

On last Friday we were comfortably
ensconced in the sanctum looking over
exchanges and noting points Of interest.
Amongst other things Of interest that
attracted our attention was our cotem.
porary-the Hillsboro Gasette-crisp and
new, and loaded to the gunwale with
the very latest news of the day. We
relish the Gazette and carefully read its
columns--not all the advertisement and
everything, but all the real news.
Our attention was attracted last Fri.
day to an article in the Gazette nearly
column in length under three.story
head, showing the "woes OF married
life." We did not take time to read all
that article. The headlines conveyed
the real essence of what was contained
in the article We promptly reached
for our hat and overcoat and took the
shortest route to the Court House. We
were emboldened to take that step from
a report in one of our exchanges of a
divorce case and the audience present.
The report went on to show that the
bald heads and grey heads were out in
full force, and that, as was customary
under such circumstances, they were
favored with front seats. Taking that
as an index of what our reception would
be at the Court House, knowing that
the sno,Ds of several summers had passed
over our head 1--WE can prove that last
statement) we walked briskly up to the
courtroom door-gentle reader, imagine
our disappointment on finding the door
locked.
Whether this locking of the door was
done by the order Of the court knowing
our weakness for a morsel of this kind,
or whether it was deep.laid scheme to
prevent the NEWS HERALD from report
ing the very latest news of the day has
not yet been fully determined.
1 Time cures all wounds, and we have
so far recovered from that disappoint.
ment as to be able to visit the Clerks
Office and now tell the readers of the
nh. that the record of the Clerks
Office shows that James F. McCoppin
was granted divorce from his wife, Ida
McCoppin. The case of Mary O. Fenner
vs. Charles Fenner is still in manned
condition, while the case of Rob't F.
Huff against his wife, Endora o. Huff,
is still under consideration by Judge
Higgins.
Now this may seem very curt way OF
disposing of these Interesting" divorce
cases as the Gazette calls them, but tax.
ing our disappointment in connection
with these cases inv consideration, and
that all we kaow 1--WE mean about these
cases) we learned from the Gazette. And
then the inimitable way in which the
details OF the different cases is set forth
in the above named sheet deters us from
| making any attempt at describing them
in detail. Dear reader, if you are not in
possession of copy of the Hillsborc
Gazette OF last week borrow one and read
all about the "Woes of Married Life"
