Rev. p. G. Shanklin, of Garden, called
Saturday. He was in Wichita county
a short time ago, and thinks the farmers
of that county are as prosperous rs can
be found in any community. They have
shipped 400 car loads of wheat from last
years crop, and they have not only
doubled their acreage for this season.
but the condition of the growing plant
is in much better condition than it was
at this time last year. He says many
new settlers have already arrived in Fin
ney county this spring. and a general
move from the east is anticipated.

Col. Straughn this week showed us
sample of mineral from the mine in
which he made the big strike. 1t is of a
dark, brown color, somewhat resembling
oxidized iron filings, with yellow grains
of virgin gold glittering here and there
throughout the mass. The particles of
gold vary in size from about twice the
size of pin head down to flour gold.

As may be seen by the proceedings of
the county commissioners. published
gratuitously in another column, the
GLOBE-REPUBLICAN is strictly sin It."
Not only our thanks are due the board.
but we conscientiously believe that a
large majority of the people who are in-
terested in Ford county will commend
them for this action. 1t is much better
for the county to have one good represen-
tative paper than a score of poor ones.
During the past nine months we have al
bored diligently, though at a disadvan-
tage, to bring the paper TO standard
where it will be helper in the industrial
affairs of Ford county and her towns.
All impediments have now been dissi-
pated. and the GLOBE. as it will soon be
known, will not only revolve upon an in
flexible axis, but will abound with good
fruit whose richness will please all.

MAY 2.-The Board of Education held a
lively session last Saturday evening. The "hum-
BILE neglectful" Clerk who had allowed his
teacher to use text books not adopted by the
Board was thoroughly hauled over the Goals.
notwithstanding the protestations that he had
used all reasonable amount of persuasion to
compel obedience to the rule of the school dads.
An attempt was made even to shut his vote out
but this he protested against with blood in his
eye, and was allowed to vote. The Board then
passed resolution that no scholar shall attend
school in this township outside his own district,
unless by consent of the Board. The next thing
done was to grant several special permits bear
ing upon this resolution. The matter of truan-
cy was given an airing, some member of the
Board asking who the truant officer is. In the
matter of text books, the Board did a wise and
judicious thing, by putting out Stickney's Read
ers and Wentworth's Arithmetics, and substi-
tuting in their places Barnes New Progressive
Readers and Rays Arithmetics. Through the
generosity of the American Book Company
each school district will soon have school IL
brary of sixteen volumes, free of cost.
James Sterling, one OF our venerable and
much respected citizens, died Sunday night, the
24th ult and was buried on the Wednesday
following, services being conducted by Rev. ]
| K. Shaffer. He had long been sufferer witt
dropsy, and bore his sufferings uncomplainingly
and with Christian fortitude. He was native
of Scotland but had lived in this township since
a young man.

They will soon produce play for the benefit o
their Order.

MRS. Woodbridge is lady of fine womanll
presence, and possesses a voice of wonderful
depth, sweetness and power. Even were he

a pleasure merely to hear those charming tones
But the lady has the true spirit of oratory-tc

was born March 4th, 1871, and was bright,

THE Republicans nominated ticket at their
Cleveland convention that is sufficiently pledged
to the perpetuation of a prohibitory tariff and
continuance of legislativs McKinleyism. to suit
the Trusts and their cohorts, and while State
campaign is supposed to deal with State issues.
the controversy will settle on the great economic
question, as before. The Democratic party is
pleased that this is SO. knowing full well that it
is only question of time ere the intelligence of
the State will triumph over the mistakes of the
present.
The Democratic party Will continue to oppose
the system of unjust and unequal taxation until
its death knell is sounded. In the meantime.
the usual bombast and tariff insanity will break
forth with unabated force from the Republican
leaders. who realize that they are being slowly
but surely pressed to the wall by the continued
presentation of the truth.
The triumph of Democracy in Ohio. be it soon
or late. will be permanent one. based as it will
be on principle; for we are on the right side of
the great issue of tariff reform. and can afford to
wait any length of time, rather than take one
backward step from the position so courageously
and consistently maintained by that distinguish
ed American citizen. GROVER CLEVELAND.

James N. Sterling died on Sabbath night,
April 24th, 1892, of dropsy. He passed away
as if asleep, after lingering illness of eighteen
months, seven of which he sat in a chair, day
and night. He bore his suferings with great
patience, and with the kindest consideration for
those who attended him.
James Sterling was born in Scotland, in the
year 1916. Came to the United States in 1882,
and lived in Shalersville the entire time, and
upon the farm on which he died for over forty
years. He was great reader with a wonderful
memory, and it could be truthfully said of him,
he was an honest man. l. L.
