The n. Y. Financier for Aug. 9th
had a stirring article on the over
capitalization of the Coates Thread
Works, Of England, by selling stock
in this country. II any one wished
confirmation OF the wonderful over
bonding stated in this paper, leu
them keep track OF the financial
journals:
The Financier says:
'"The public is informed through
the advertising columns OF several OF
our newspapers that they are in
vited to contribute their cash in the
purchase OF the stock OF j. P.
Coates, Limited, to the amount OF
Sis, 655, 636.66, which is just two
thirds OF the capitalization OF the
new Company, namely, $27 $685.
1884, or in English money, S.
100000.
This prodigious sum OF money is
asked for, to pay for the rights and
property of the Coates Thread Works
and enable it to complete it's reor-
ganization by paying the sum OF
So, 1913, $50, or about $19, 166, 75o
into the pockets OF the present own
ers in cash; and be it noted, this
nineteen millions of dollars is not
asked for to enlarge the business or
it's plant, or it's capital, but solely for
the purpose OF enhancing the money
wealth OF the present owners. This
stock will be offered for sale next
Tuesday, the 18th OF August, 1890,
simultaneously in Montreal Canada,
London, England, and in this city,
at the Bank OF The Manhattan Com
pany, 40 Wall St., where it is an
nounced the subscription books will
close on the following day, Wednes-
day, on or before four P. NJ, for both
towns and country.
In two short days nearly nineteen
millions OF dollars are expected to be
received in the purchase OF stock that
no man knows the value OF, by any
statement of the advertisements, the
prospectus, or the Bank OF Manhat
tan officials, concerning the actua
resources of the established plant O

Prepare for Spring.

In preparing for spring you should look tc
your farming implem ents, more or less Of
them are out of repair and all will be i'm
proved with coat or two of nice paint, which
you can apply yourself and can buy very
cheap, all ready prepared at Saur & Balsl ey's
Drug and Paint Store. Your reapers, your
mowers, your wagons, your plews. your har-
rows &c, ,'all will lookbetter, last longe !, and
if you should want to sell any you will be able
to get enough more to more than thr ee times
pay the cost of the paint and your time for
putting it on. Nothing looks nicer than
farm with every thing nicely painted p and in
order, it shows thrift, it shows enterprise, yes
and we say. there is a farmer who is making
money. He knows how to farm.

New BAVARIA, O., Feb. "a, 1886


DR.. J. H. Scheeltheis, graduate of Han
neman Medical Institute, Chicago, Ills., has
located in our town and thereby fills long
felt want. He is still young m an but comes
well recommended, and we opine for him a
lucrative practice in this vicinity. ...
The great ''ado about nothing" as we
might very appropriately call the present
trial at unearthing the stupendous frauds
said to have been committed by so-ealled
Henry county ring, is not creating that feel
ing which the authors of this investigation
thought it would. 1t begins to take the ma
ture of Boomerang movement.
There is rumor afloat that the telegraph
Office at Pleasant Bend would in the near
future be removed to this place. ...
The recent fire, by which Mr.. Henry Die
mer. a brother of your townsman, John Die
mer, sustained the loss of one of his fine
ponies, all of his hay, grain, etc., might have
become very disastrous to the town had the
slightest wind prevailed, but as the air was
very calm, the devastating element could,
through the effort of neighbors, be confined
to Mr., Diemer's stables. His dwelling and
restaurant we're saved. His loss ameu nts to
several hundred dollars on which there is but
a light insurance.
The health in general hereabouts is getting
better and la grippe has about run its course.
The roads are beginning to become passa-
ble-until the next rain.
Those people intending to build in the
spring, are beginning to truck their logs to
sawmills-they are getting tired waiti ng for

sisting "Interliner George" in his disreputa-
BILE TRADE upon honest citizens and his ef-
forts to keep people and capital, out Of Henry
county, are non-tax-pa and generally
considered by citizens as cranks? Yet the
gang is composed of just such fellows, and
the entire amount they pay into the treasury,
with few exceptions, would not pay for one

auditor plies with such vim and vigor. We

Society" Journalism.

MR. EDIroR:-I do not desire to instruct
you or any other Publisher how TO edit pa
per, or to dictate what should or should Lot
be published; but editors and publishers, in
common with other people, may som etimes
be properly and prohtably criticised.
Now, l do protest to filing Journal which
is purchased by the reader for news, inter
esting reading and local items of general inn
portance, with personals" and society"
notes-interesting to no one but those whose
names are printed and read by no one else.
The general reader is entitled to the space
occupied by such stun.
1t may be proper enough to announce the
movements and whereabouts of business
men and other prominent persons with whom
the public has dealings; but of what earthly
interest to the public is an item like this:
Mr.. and Mrs. Bullfrogie entertained Miss
Polly Wog and Mr.. Tad Pole last Tuesday
evening.
Ifa business man demanded the amount Of
space occupied he would be required and
would expect to pay advertising rates. Sup
pose notice like this was sent in for publi-
cation:
Mr.. Bullfrogie would respectfully inform
the public that he has opened place of en-
tertainment at the corner of Mud and Hole
streets, and that he has one of the best
grounds for playing leap frog that can be
found. Public patronage solicited. Charges
reasonable.
Would you not, Mr.. Publisher, expect to
be paid advertising rates, although you
might be giving information to many who
would be interested, while not siugle per-
son would be interested in the first notice; OF
would you be content with dead-head tick
ct to the leap-f.og entertainment
Stop this "society" nonsense, the publica-
ton of long marriage notices of private and
absent persons, long lists of presents and
names of doners, and such other twaddle,
and elevate the space to matter which will
enterest the general reader. GOLDFISH.
| I'VE take it that the above criticism
is meant for US as we'll for all other edi-
tors and publishers-for we "all do it,
And often we have felt like criticising our
selves for allowing our columns to be used to
the extent they have been for the purposes
Goldfish" complains of. But we cannot
agree with him when he says the personal
and "society" notes are of no interest, only
to those whose names are printed. We know
from our own personal OF servation that the
average newspaper reader will sean these
columns before they will any other. Especi,
ally is this so with the feminine readers of q
newspaper. Ifthis were not so, such widely
known newspapers as the Cincinnati Eaqufr.
er, and we might say almost every piper OF
any note, would not fill column after column
with "society news" At the same time, we
must admit that to large number of read.

An exchange says the tobacco and whisky
habits can be cured by the following plan:
Those who take their first smoke or drink,
say at O'Clock in the morning, should begin
by putting it of just ten minutes past the
hour for a few days, then make it fifteen or
twenty minutes, and SO on until it will be
noon and then night before the first smoke or
drink. If it is slow it is certainly sure way
of tapering of, if faithfully followed

HOW Farmers are Taxed. i.

II is not uncommon to hear our farmers
complain of the taxes they have to pay.
Sometimes they are too high and the payment
inc the productive power of an acre of
ground. For instance: a farmer who sows
poor seed, raises scrub stock, or buys
antiauated or imperfect implements, must
certainly pay proportionately high taxes.
Not to mention the improvement he might
make by getting the best seed and live stock,
he could buy Deering Binder or Mower,
and save money in the harvesting OF his
grain and grass crops. 20 30. " .-----

we're illness, Addie, wife of Eli Clay, near Greltop,
Ohio, aged 80 years, months and 20 days. u.
She was a hard worker and good manager in
her home duties. She leaves g husband and two
children, father and MOTHER brother and sisters to
mourn her loss. May God be with them in their sf-
Fiction and comfort their hearts in this.
IT'S finished, the conflict Is past.
Il The Heaven born spirit has fed, -
Her wish is accomplished at last,
And now she's entombed with the dead.
No sickness, or sorrow, or pain, ''
Shall ever disquiet her now,
l For death 70 her spirit was gain
Since Christ was her life here below.

To mingle with angels Of light ..
And dwell In the Kingdom OF Love.

II years,7 months and 20 days.
He came to this county near so years ago and To-
Gated In the forest near the center Of Damascus
township, BY toll and perseverance he changed the
forest to one of the best farms Of the township
As farmer he was . success; as neighbor he was
kind and obhging; as township officer he was
faithful In the discharge OF all duties assigned him,
and although for many years strong Democrat
yet principle rose above party. He would not SUI
fer partisan feeling to crush out sense of right.
In his death Damascus township has lost one Of Its
best citizens. The gathering Oh the people to st-
tend the funeral service was such as was seldom
equaled in the township. He leaves one son and
one daughter to mourn the loss Of tender father,
companion who knew the value Of true and
faithful husband; large number Of relatives and
friends who learned the value of one 90 dear to
many hearts, but in no respect is his loss more
sadly felt than in the church, of which he was for
40 years faithful member serving in an offcisl
capacity for O large part Of his Christian life.
May his mantle fall upon some onein cClure, that
the cause OF Christianity may continue to prosper.
