The Work House Contract.

To us it does not appear plain how the
county is going to be the gamer in the
contract entered into with the GAINESVILLE
Work Hoase authorities. The county
will have to pay the fare of the prisoners.
pay 40c day for their board, bear the
expense of sickness, and any extra cloth
ing. The work house will allow each
prisoner 60c day for his labor Under
the system of working them here each
prisoner was allowed 81 80 per day for
his labor There the board will be lOc
less per day, but the wages paid will only
be two-fifths as much, consequently the
county will have to maintain them 2is
times as long. The arrangement may be
for the benefit of Belmont county finan-
cially, but if so it does not appear to us.

Mr Scotia Ahsnence

Mr.. George E. Scott, who was to have
lectured at the Institute last week on Po
tato Culture, writes us that the reason OF
his non appearance was as follows:
"On Wednesday morning l was sum
moned on special jury at Steubenville
before the Common Pleas Court, and
fully expected to have left that city for
your place on Friday morning, and would
have done so, but Judge Pearce was i'll
and was compelled to defer his charge
till that morning. when it was too late
for me to get away after we got through -
Mr.. Scott had carefully prepared lect-
ure, and it is a matter of regret that cir
cumstances so compelled his absence.

Illness


| Illness.
Mrs. Lizzie Parks, wife of George l.
Parks, residing about three miles south
west of this place, died on Thursday
morning of last week. Her illness, as
mentioned last week, began with an at
tack of grip and terminated in typhoid
fever After three weeks of suffering,
which she bore patiently and uncomplain-
ingly, she went to join her little daughter
May, whose funeral occurred just one
week previous to her own, and at the
same hour Owing to her own critical
condition, she was not permitted to look
on her dead child's face, beautifully pre-
pared for burial.
Mrs Parks was the eldest daughter of
Daniel Ault, Esq. of this township. She
leaves a husband and six children, who
receive the sincerest sympathy of the
community in their unusually sad atflic-
ton. She was a kind and affectiOnate
wife and mother, and a woman of firm
Christian character. This worthy family
have endured suffering and bereavement
band and motherless children fully ap
preciate the many kindnesses of friends
and neighbors extended to them. The
funeral took place on Saturday, followed
by interment in the Union cemetery at
this place.

or potatoes as a preventive or curative
of disease, the unlucky number IL, the
good luck carried by horseshoe, the i'll

Gus influences accredited to the moon,
and many others. He expressed the be-
lief that every one shares in some super
stitious belief Instances of lost identity
were related, and examples of the infiu-
ence of one mind over another adduced.
In the former hypnotism might explain
the strange occurrences, and in the latter
telepathy the cause would be termed.
His lecture was interspersed with stories
of humorous character, and through
out he merited and received the closest
attention of the audience.
As the closing part of the program Miss
Laura Pratt and c. C. Carroll enact
ed, in full costume, the dagger scene from
Macbeth" With good night song
by the choir, and the benediction by Rev.
Balph, the Eleventh Annual Farmers
Institute adjourned.
The success of the Institute was due
equally to the untiring energy displayed
by the officers and the members of the
Executive Committee President Nc
Kelvey, Secretary McMechan, and Treas
urrr Morgan were constantly atten-
tive to its interests and conducted
everything in prompt anu business
like manner. All the time was protita-
bly, consumed, although several of the an
nounced speakers could not be present.
These were G. L. Scott, j. NJ. Stewart, of
Morganza, Pa, L. P. Myers and Rev. DR..
Hingeley, all of whom were absent on
account of sickness. The music was excel
lent, and was furnished by choir com
posed chiefly of High School girls, with
Miss Mary Blair as organist. Their songs
were heartily appreciated by the audi
ence, especially the Whippoorwlll song.
The attendance was all that could be de-
sired, and each evening the hall was
packed to overfowing. An admission
fee of ten cents was charged at the after
noon and evening sessions, as the Insti
tute was carried on independent of State
aid. The interest taken in these annual
meetings of the farmers is proof of the
benefit to the farmers of this section in
meeting together, for instruction, ex-
change of ideas, and, of greater impor
tance, for pleasure.

Township Conventions.

The Committeeman in the different
townships should lose no time in making
arrangements for the township conven-
tions. In some townships March IL has
been fixed as the day for the convention
and would it not be good plan to hold
the conventions in every township on
that day? The Committeeman should
act at once-delay is dangerous. Send
to THE CHRONICLE the call for the con-
vention in time for our next issue.

Another Fire At Bellaire

Rodefer Bros. Glass works at Bellaire
were destroyed by fire on Saturday night
and $4,000 went up in smoke. The fire
was started either by the bursting of an
oil pipe or leak from a tank of Lima
oil, that material being used for fuel. A
portion of the works were saved by the
work of thef fire department. AS the plant
was running steadily and enjoyed good
trade, it is probable that it will be re-
built at once.
