of voting for Cleveland. He also pre-
sented pet coon to Major KennOn, of
this place.

Death of John Troll Patton.

John Troll Patton, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Calvin Patton, of west of town,
died Wednesday afternoon of scarlet
fever. He had been attacked only few
days before by the malignant disease,
and his system weakened by recent
long and severe attack of typhoid fever,
was unable to rally from this. He was
bright, energetic and interesting boy
of ten years, the joy and pride of his
parents, and well loved by everyone.
The stricken father and mother, with
other relatives, have the deep sympathy
of the community.

During Col. Poorman's recent visit to

assurance of support from quite num-

Schools Closed.

The public schools of this place are
closed this week, owing to the fact that
there are few cases of scarlet fever in
town and vicinity. The disease so far
has not been in malignant form, with
one exception, but it was thought best
to close the schools for few days in or
der to effectually prevent any spreading
of the disease.

a young fellow who said he was from

was considerably under the influence of

the streets were pretty well filled with
people, and it was quite light, he was not
deferred from indulging in his reprehen-
sible attempts, until stalwart citizen

around him, and after giving him Sc

The CARRIER Bill.

Our contemporary finds fault with the
CARRIER Fee and Salary Bill, claiming that
the provisions which require the
Treasurer to collect five per cent. on tax
es unpaid before the Goth of December
and the 20th of June, takes money from
the people of the county. This is simply
nonsense. The Treasurer is now required
to collect this money and hand it over to
the county. Persons who pay up their
taxes are thereby benefited, but the care
less, and those who do not for other rea-
sons pay up, are made to toe the mark or
suffer the consequences.

It's perhaps fact not generally known
that the line of fine buggies, carriages,
carts, and light wagons exhibited at the
Fair, last week. by Amos Mcbride, were
made in ST. Clairsville. These vehicles,
in workmanship and finish, were pro-
nounced by experts equal to any on the
market, while the prices are down to the
bottom figures for first-class work. They
were much admired, and Mr.. Mcbride is
carrying on quite an extensive business
in their manufacture. Any person con-
templating buying anything in the line
mentioned will find it to his interest to
examine these goods, comparing the
quality and prices with any made.

GOV. M'KINLEY,
The Eloquent Peerless Champion of
Protection,
To Speak at Flushing and Rtnaville on
Wednesday, October 12th-Great
Big Meetings.

Governor William Mckinley will speak
at Flushing on Wednesday of next week,
October -. ard at Etnaville on the
evening of the same day. The bare an
noancam"nt that the famous advocate of
Protection will be in our county is suffi
cient to insure great meetings. The an
nonncement has been made that the
afternoon meeting would be held in ST.
Clairsvi.le, bit it was thought by the
Connty Cor,mittee that two meetings so
close together would conflict, and since
the Republicans of Flushing especially
desired to have our eminent Governor
there, the change was made in obedience
to their wishes. Last year Major Nc
Kinley spoke at GAINESVILLE and Bellaire,
giving the people of the south half of the
county an opportunity of hearing him. The
arrangement of the meetings this year
gives the people of the north half of the
county the same opportunity. Every
Republican within reach of one or the
other of these meetings should make ar
rangements at once to attend, and take
Democratic neighbor along with him.
The local committees in each place are
hard at work to give the illustrious Nc
Xinley and his famous bill royal recep-
tion. Let every Republican constitute
himself a committee of one to help bring
out great crowd at each meeting.
After the address at Flushing Major
Mckinley will be driven to this place,
where he will take supper, after which
he will take the train to Bridgeport. A
delegation from this place will &C

NOT EXACTLY NEWS.
A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.
1t has become maxim that people
will be gulled and fooled by games of
chance, in which they have one Opportu-
nifty of winning against one hundred or
one thousand or more of losing They
simply will do it, and there is absolutely
no hope of warning them away. 1t takes
vigorous resolution on the part of any
man to keep from meddling with gam
bling, but the average man relies on his
own peculiar smartness to beat the gam
bier, or his own peculiar pull" with For
tune, to be favored with the one chance
in the thousand of winning. The reason
for this is not far to seek. If a man be-
lieves in anything, he believes in himself.
He has previously in life's game turned
an ace occasionally, and he can't keep
from wanting to try his luck again.
Dazzling tales of great winnings at gam
bling flash before him; the thing looks
easy; he has something to spend any
way. So he gives the wheel turn, and
invariably loses, to try again aud again,
for the love of the thing is Unborn.
Fashion has been rallied at and satir-
lied by philosophers, but the laws gov
erning fashion will usually be found to
have basis in reason, and with all the
seemingly arbitrary and senseless chang
es, there is distinct and steady progress
toward better tastes, that is, toward more
utility, more health and more beauty.
Why, after ten years freedom from the
filthy, long, street skirt, fashion took it
up again for a short time, is one of those
problems that beset all progress. Civil
ization is steadily climbing, but it seems
to sometimes fall backward a step or SO,
as in this case of the reign for the last
year of the microbe- bearing skirt. But
now that autocratic reign is over, and
there are to be no more long, sweeping
skirts in the streets, may the gods of
fashion be thanked
