The depreciation OF farming lands

many localities they are worth only

The low price Of wheat and COMPETE
ton with other countries in meat and
other food products, 10 responsible for
much OF this decrease In price, though
part Of It Is due 10 a succession OF bad
seasons. The United States now leads
all competitions in wheat production.
But 1t is certain that aft5r few moro
years American increase in population
will take all the wheat we can grow.
When that time comes not only En-
glish but other wheat growers win
share in the increased prosperity OF
farming that must everywhere prevail.

the office, together with the emOluments,

that Wilcox was appointed in place OF

that he should serve until the time HOge's

THE MEN TO VOTE FOR.
A Few Words About the Republican
County Ticket.

A Few Words About the Republican
County Ticket.
The Republican county ticket has been
before the people more than week now,
and grows in favor the more the people
know about it. The man to find fault
with the ticket has yet to present him
self. True, many had favorite for some
particular place, but when that favOrite
failed to secure the nomination they
cheerfully acknowledged that man just
as good did get it. All are now united
in affirming it to be as strong ticket
all around as was ever nominated, and
it will win from top to bottom. Some
localities failed to get what they wanted,
but that is now forgotten in the earnest
support accorded the nominees.
Madison Aldredge, the nominee for
Auditor, is man of about 30 years of
age. He is employed as the pattern
maker in Mann's foundry, in Martins
Ferry, a position requiring brains, i'll
ventive genius, and skill. He is repre-
sentative wOrkingman, a man possessed
of good business education, thoroughly
sober and methOdical in his habits, and
eminently capable of discharging the du-
ties of Auditor to advantage of the coun
ty and the welfare of the taxpayers.
Aldredge is the man to draw the full
strength of the party and many Demo
cratic votes as well.
Henry NJ Davies, the candidate for re-
election as Clerk, is too well known to
need any introduction. He has ably
conducted the affairs of the office of
Clerk for nearly three years, and his re-
election goes without saying. He is a
gentleman, and everybody knows it.
NJ. NJ. Scott is likewise candidate for
reelection, and as he is known personally
to nearly every voter in the county,
words in his behalf are useless 1t is no
disparagement of his predecessors to say
that the office of Sheriff was never con-
Quoted in more methodical or business
like manner than under his administra-
ton. All having business with him re-
ceive the same courteous treatment, and
the Democracy need to stand from under.
T. p. Harris, the candidate for Record
er, has been for many years the Superin-
tendent of the SomertOn schools, and
also County School Examiner. He is one
of the foremost and most successful
teachers of the county, and will make a
thoroughly competent officer. He is an
old soldier, and in every way worthy
man. AS he comes from portion of the
county which has not recently been
recognized, ,he will poll tremendous vote.
Captain A. w. Lee, the nominee for
Commissioner, is successful farmer of
Wheeling township, and is widely known.
He possesses in an eminent degree the
qualifications necessary to a good Com
missioner, and county finances will be
safe in his hands.
C.B. Wright, of Belmont, the nominee
for Infrmary Director is well known
over the county as horse dealer, and he
will make a good officer, if elected.

The Best Ever Held.

There was for time some fear that
accommodations could not be secured
here at reasonable prices for the teachers
contemplating an attendance at the In
stitute. Such fear has now, however,
completely disappeared. The commit
tee having affairs in charge have can
vassed the town, and have secured
pledges from those who will take room
ers and boarders that ample facilities
will be afforded at exceptionally low
prices. Citizens realize that the long term
Institute is drain on the teachers purse,
and they have no desire to make money
out of him. Let every teacher attend
during as much of the time as possible.
This is confidently expected to be the
best session ever held in the county, both
for hard study and for intellectual enter
tainment.

Merely Kicker

The Gazette still advocates the repeal
of the ordinance. BY so doing it places
itself in direct opposition to the wishes
of large majority of the temperance
and anti-saloon people of this place, as
expressed by their signatures to the peti
tion against repeal. With an air of
divulging something novel, it announces
a few particulars of the liquor business
here, evidently expecting sensation
But these things are not new; they are
decidedly mouldy and ancient. If the
Gazette is so well informed in these mat
ters, however, as it appears to be, and
really anxious for the abatement of them,
as it processes to be, why does it not go
to work in the ordinary and legal way !?
So much ineffective talk, with no practi-
cal effort, forces the conviction on its
readers that the words of the song are
true, and that the Gazette is merely a
kicker

Ston Your Screaming.

Judging from some of its rather point
ed 'quiet observations" the Barnesvilfe
Republican is not well pleased that War
rem township did not secure representa-
ton on the county ticket. Nevertheless,
the ticket is an excellent one, and the
fact that Barnesville was left out was
due more to the weakness of her delega-
ton and bad management on the part of
her citizens, than to any other cause. In
order to secure nomination man must
be able to get votes from townships out
side of his own. This, Barnesville's can
didate did not possess the ability to do,
and, as natural sequence, another car
ried off the nomination. Well known
internal dissensiOns initiated against
Warren, and the lesson is, stop your
scrapping."

der $1,000 bond each. They were brought
to Jail in this place. A worse looking lot of
men were never in Jail in this county.
They refuse to talk English, although it
is said they can do SO, and remain silent
and morose in the presence of strangers.
They probably believe silence to be the
best policy under the circumstances. As
the Grand Jury does not meet until Oe-
tober they will have a long siege of it in
Jail even though some of them may es-
cape the penitentiary. The case against
them will prove difficult one to un-
rayel,

A Serious Charge.

1t has been some mOnths-to be accu-
rate, year-since the Gazette, a member
if you please, of the newspaper frater-
nity." has attacked us in rhetorical fig
ure At that time it accused US of steal
ing, whether by highway robbery or bur
glary, it did not specify. The thing said
to have been purloined by us was Ger
tain vicious onslaught" The Gazette
was at that time acting as has always
been its custom in the great role of pub
lie benefactor, for it charged that we had
thieved the said vicious onslaught
from another paper. Happily for us, we
succeeded in clearing ourselves of this
grave charge. But we are now under an
other almost equally serious. The Gag
cite, ever standing as the sleepless watch
dog of the public interests, ,insinuates that
there is in this town, a newspaper with
a "gilded effrontery." The mystifying =
ture of this accusation is the thing that
| troubles us. 1t is not a matter to be
lightly treated. There are dark sugge :
tions in the words that might lead to
suspicious of deeper dyed infamy than
is apparent on a mere casual inspection
The thinking reader, closing his eyes in
an effort to form a thought from these
words, would probably get before his
mental retina some tremendous thing,
blazing with gold. His inquisitive mind
would then seek to know where this
gliding material came from, and it is
more than probable that, remembering
our former arraignment for theft, he
| would at once conclude that we had come
illegally by it. Then he would inevita-
bly, suppose that we are in the habit of
gliding other things such as our modesty,
and our emotions, and perhaps all our
characteristics, and he might even ex
tend the gliding process to our office fix
lures. There is no telling where his
mind would pause. Now this, we sub
NIT, is an unfraternal "unjustice," infiict-
ed by one of the newspaper fraternity
upon another. 1t must be patient" (sicl
even to him who simultaneously reads
and runs that the Gazette should be cen.
sured for lack of traternal feeling. We
hope that those who may have tiippantly
considered this startling charge, will note
our earnest denial.
