CAPTAIN o. S. HOLLOWAY.

Death of one of Flushing's Best Men-Ac-
count of His Life.
Our Flushing correspondent sends us
the following memoir of Captain o. S
Holloway:
Saturday afternoon at o'clock, Capt
Otho s. Holloway, after continued and
wasting sickness, quietly passed away, at
his home, near town. Services were held
at his late home, Father Wagend Ofliciat-
ing, under the direction of the G. A. r.
Post of this place, of which the Captain
was member, at 2 o'clock Monday after
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT at o'clock, at Rock
Hill Cemetery.
Otho Sheetz Holloway son of Isaac and
Harriet Holloway, and brother of Mrs.
Anna NJ. Atkinson, of Flushing, and Ma
than Holloway, of Canton, o., was born
at Smyrna, January 80, 1882. After pass
ing through the common schools, such as
our country at that time furnished, OthO
applied and was admitted into Washing
ton College, Washington, Pa. Two years
after his course at college was completed,
after studying law under G. c. Carroll, of
ST. Clairsville, Mr. Holloway was admit
ted to the Bar at Columbus, at the age of
23 years. Shortly after his admission to
the Bar he married Hester Ann Fisher.
At the first call of his country, Mr.. Hol-
loway responded, and entered the three
months service, as a private. After his
time had expired he returned home, or
ganized Company X, 18th Ohio, and as
its captain again entered service. Suf-
fering from severe illness, he was
forced to resign his captaincy, and to re-
turn home, shortly after the battle of
Shiloh. With the exception of the years
spent in the civil war and three years in
Dakota, Captain Holloway has lived dur
ing his entire life in Belmont county,
mostly in Flushing and vicinity.
Captain Holloway was recognized by
all who knew him to be strictly honest,
just and moral man. Among his char
acteristics pre6minently were generosity,
patience aud moral self-centrol. While
he was markedly practical man, his
long familiarity with our leading poets
spicily seasoned his practical mind. So
cially he was pleasing and entertaining
conversationalist and courteous gentle
man. While he was almost unrelenting
ly bitter toward those whom he consider
ed to be dealing with him unfairly, yet
with equal earnestness he strOve to be
helpful to honorable men. Politically he
was a staunch Republican. He was an
advocate of Catholicism, and died in the
Catholic faith In him his family loses
a fond and wise-counseling father and
husband; the town one of its ablest and
most progressive citizens. The Captain
leaves a wife and six children.
Among those present at the services,
not living in this vicinity, besides the
relatives of the family, were John Har
vey, Uniontown, Captain Danford, Hen
ry NJ. Davies, W. S. Cowen, o. E. Foulke,
] "A. Henderson, j Jesse w. Hollingsworth,
Frank B. Archer and wife, and Judge G.
w. Carroll and wife, st. Clairsyille.
Captain Holloway was carried to his
final resting place by members of his
own company.

Exclamation,

An item published in these columns
two weeks ago, stating that Isaac Id
dings, who was then sick, had been made
worse by the effect of stringent medi-
cines, has been misunderstood, somewhat
to the disparagement of Drs. Estep and
Thompson, the attending physicians.
1t was not intended to convey the mean
ing that too stringent medicine had
been given, either carelessly or by mis-
take. The remedy was simply what the
case demanded, and the result was fore
seen and intended by the doctors, and
was not out of the usual course.

More Music.

The appreciation by our towns people
of good music was shown by the way
they turned out to the Methodist church
on last Sunday, Miss LOra Haines sang
at both services. Her selections were of
the highest grade of music, and her
rendering of them was fully up to their
character. Everyone, like Oliver Twist,
felt like asking for "lnore," and if clapping
of hands and other demonstrations of ap-
proval were permitted in the sanctuary,
Miss Haines would have been vigorously
recalled.

The Oil Well.

The misfortune of losing the drill at
the oil well last week crippled operation
for time, but by the use of the graphing
the drill was quickly fished
out, and the boring began again on
Saturday, and has gone on since without
a break. A depth of five hundred feet
has been reached, and if oil is not soon
found, a very deep hole will be made in
the ground.

But this is an expensive business with
al. We cast this way into the sea annu-
ally more than 100000. Actually the
ordure that goes each year from the
sewers throat would be worth that sum
to our fields and gardens. But how could
this precious vileness be utilized on the
fields? Necessity will find a way. In
China the Offal of cities is thus used be-
cause of the teeming population. We
have no such necessity now. We can af-
ford to cast away fortune daily. Our
soil is yet youthful and vigorous But
we are beginning to use some of our offal
From the stables of our city carts of
manure are carried to barges and tOwed
to the great gardens that supply US with
food. But the very cream of our fertil-
izing material percolates through the
city's intestinal sewers into the sea.
There will come time when some geni-
us of wealth will devise means of turn
ing this tremendous waste into gold. The
foundation of the vast Vanderbilt for
tunes was laid in the refuse of stables.
The old Commodore was gardener who
bought manure cheap and spread it over
fields. The basis of a greater fortune
could be laid with what we throw into
the waves. A man could get this gold
en- filth now for carrying it away, and he
who first hits upon the plan of utilizing
it will get for nothing what when nature
has turned it for him into vegetables and
fruits and grasses and meat and milk, he
can sell to its old overs for silver This
mighty impoverishment of our soil can
not last always. We hav'nt yet been clever
enough to stop il, but necessity will some
time drive us into change, and the cur
rents of fetid mud that now ooZe under
our pavements, instead of being vomited
into the ocean will be zealously caught
in great boats and carried off to the
farms. This is natures plain pointing.
The chemistry of the sun and the winds
and the rain and the earth abetted by
the vital mystery builds up the used into
the unused. We cannot long Offord to
cast the used away as worthless.

dress. He may be seen any day walking
to and from his pretty editorial sanctum
ON Union Square. He is a tall, slender
man, with clear features and aggressive
nose and large poetical eyes. In manner
he puts one at ease directly, having q
happy way of seeming to be of exactly
ones grade in society. With the work
ing people with whom he comes in con-
tact in his business relations with the
Century, he is popular, for he has man.

upon time, he was at work himself with
rolled up sleeves and printers ink upon
his face. With the hterati he is
thoroughly at ease, and spends his hap

who congregate about him at home and
in the Fellowcraft Club, of which he is
the president. In attire be is almost
rusty, though scrupulously clean and well
brushed. 1t was limited that Easter

Ambition IL Epidemic in Warrington.
You are not surprised when the man
who takes your garbage from your door
takes off his hat with some show of good
breeding, and, with an apology for his
profession, assures you that he has seen
better days. 1t is quite in the nature Of
things that the ashman should seek an
opportunity to let it be known that he
never sits for cinders, but merely dumps
his load, leaving the sitting for a humber
class of citizens. So on up the scale of
society each one has some pretense upon
which to base q claim to more than he
actually possesses. Each individuals
style of living is little more extravagant,
little more pretentious, than that of a
man of similar occupation elsewhere.
The messengers In the departments imi-
tate the style of the clerks, who in turn
initiate their chiefs. The chiefs initiate
their superiors in Office, and SO ON it runs
up to Congress and the cabinet. The
Senate and the cabinet having no one to
initiate, each member vies with all the
rest, in the true spirit of millionaires that
they are. Nay, they initiate the extrava-
gance of the great Government whose
morals are in their keeping. Washing

sUncle Billy" Green is one Of the most
interesting of the historical characters

In 1919. in what was then Overton county.
He came to Illinois in 1890 with his par

(MsnartD county. He met Abraham
Lincoln soon after that awkward young
man landed from the fiat boat which
fioated down the Sangamon TO Salem ON
the high water following the @deep

sociated with Lincoln ever afterward He
says of him: II thought the first time
ever met Abe Lincoln that he was the
greatest man living, and am thankful

he was Lincoln's partner in the gro
Gerry at Salem. and at night. when GUS
toners were few, he held the grammar
while Lincoln recited his lessons To
his sympathetic ear Lincoln told the
story of his love forsweet Ann Rutlidge
He saw the happy pair strolling through
the woods about Salem, or boating ON
the river. or lingering long over the
bucket of water which Lincoln drew
from the well for Ann. He offered what
comfort he could to his friend when poor
Ann died, and Lincoln's great heart
nearly broke.
After Ann died." says Uncle Billy,

Green saw his friend rise In greatness

sat at the table on the Presidents left.

men to each other, saying: Secretary
