A little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
A. Ross died on Wednesday of last week,
after brief illness, and the funeral took
place on Thursday at 10 o'clock. I'M
pressive remarks were made by DR.. Wad-
die and Rev. Hackett. Mrs. Ross is quite
i'll, and the affiiction, owing to her own
sickness also, was heavy burden. Many
of their friends were present, to manifest
a personal expression of their sympathy.
Under the saddest circumstances Mr..
Caldwell Dunn was caused to mourn the
death of an infant child few days since.
The mother is absent in a distant city
undergoing surgical treatment, and her
condition is critical. 1t is feared the sad
intelligence may PROSTATE her and bring
about fatal results, or delay her recovery
to health. The fullest sympathy is accord
ed, as Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn are counted
among our most respected and worthy
citizens.
Mr.. Joseph Bell bears his sufferings
with fortitude and even cheerfulness, al
though his physical condition is not i'm
proved. He and Mrs. Bell cultivate the
finest variety of flowers, and on Sabbath
he sent large bouquet to the class of
young ladies of Crab Apple Sabbath
school, of which he has been the faithful
and honored teacher for many years,
with the statement that 'it was the last
natural gift he would ever be permitted
to make" The class value it highly.
The increased prosperity of our neigh
boring town of Flushing, is largely due
to the pluck and enterprise of its clean,
newsy, and interesting home paper, the
Flushing AdUertiser. Its implied motto,
Flushing for Flushing, may seem mar
row and contracted one, but it is the
right kind of motto for local paper, and
the citizen who fails to boom the home
paper which booms him and his interests,
stands in his own sunshine and causes his
injudicious economy to mar his own pros
perity. Your county and local papers
first-city papers next.
Recollections of the recent Convention
are that-that the nomination of Col. e.
L. Poorman was fully endorsed-that w.
w. Hanlon, of the Barnesville Repubh-
cDn, is a rusher-that our own w. A.
Hunt. Chairman of the Belmont delega-
ton, could not be excelled; his rulings
were always correct-that w. III. Cooley,
of the Republican (member of the COM
mittee on resolutions) resolved that he
would treat every member visiting his
Office with courtesy and kindness-that
Hon. J. w. Nichols speech will be print
ed in full, and is approved and deserving
that each member of the Convention
was gay and happy, and firmly resolved
to overcome the majority"
The Barnesville Cornet Band, under
the leadership of R. b. Tomlinson, Esq,
which accompanied the Belmont delega-
ton to Convention at Caldwell, won hon
ors for themselves for the excellence of
their music, and for their pleasant man.
ners and accommodating disposition.
Those desiring their services will not be
disappointed in their qualifications.
The nomination of Col. G. L. POorman
is fully approved in this locality, and we
believe that every Republican will do his
part in overcoming the majority" 1t
is confidently believed that this can be
done, but we must aoOThi 26 hours out of
the "a, and pray with our eyes open.
We interviewed DIR. J. l.. Griffith, who
is now confined in the Noble County
Jail, for horse stealing; he protests his
innocence, and states that he is the vie
tim of circumstances, and hopes to be
fully vindicated when his case is brought
to trial-Mr. John Taylor and Mr.. Win
McNary attended the Pittsburgh Expo
sition last week.-Mr. VIM. Merritt and
sister, Miss Sadie, have returned from a
pleasant Eastern visit.-Miss Lyle and
Miss Mintier visited the Exposition at
Pittsburgh, returning Saturday.-The
members of the Uniontown Cornet Band
were entertained in handsome style by
the citizens of New Athens, Saturday
evening last-The many friends of
Mr.. I. L. Lodge and his newly welded

ploy of the c., L. and w. Railway Co., at
Lorain, will make an extended visit to
the Pacific coast and other places of
interest; he travels free through courtesy
of railroad officials, and is deserving the
favor III.
