THE Magee Furniture Company
of Macarthur have rented rooms IL
the advertising columns of the Sen
tinel this week. This space has
been long time vacant, and GC
home dealer thinking it profitable
to use it, the Macarthur firm make.
tie venture. The Sentinel adver
tises no business for any outsiders
which is in competition with Lo
gan business that does advertise, al
though we have standing offers fol
space from Columbus and Lancaster
at twice the rates we charge.
The Magee Company argue this
way. Thousands of dollars, attract
ed by advertisements, go to Colum
bus every year for furniture. The
Columbus dealers buy from the
same manufacturers as do the Nc
Arthur firm. The costs of freight
to the Logan and locking county
purchasers is greater because tile
haul is longer. The rent of a room
in Columbus is three thousand dol
lars a year. In Macarthur the same
size room holding the same kind of
goods, costs about one hundred dol
lars. The excess of rent is charged
to the ,stomer. The clerk hile in
Columbus, the insurance, the tax. all
are twice as much as i'll country
town. All this is added to the cost
oil the goods.
Our readers are advised to make
a trip to Macarthur, pending the
opening up of a Furniture Store in
Logan. The advertisement is open
arm, wide as barn door, invitation.

tlemanly clerks you got the invita-
ton through the Sentinel, and You

LOCATE IN LOGAN.

The Odd Fellows of Ohio are pro
posing to establish a State Home,
and various sites have been sug
gested.
Why not Logan. We have here
as beautiful locations for grand in
stitution of the kind proposed Il.
any city in Ohio. Cen rally situa
ted, accessible, healthy. with good
educated enterprising society. and 8
local lodge as eminent as any in the
country. There are many strong
reasons in favor of our beautiful
city. We are not advised a. to
what the requirements Of Il location
are. but noticing that other towns are
making bids, we desire to enter
Logan on the list.

The tariff tax on pig tin, whicI

THE tariff tax on pig tin, which
goes into operation on the 1st OF
July next, is four cents pound. As
we have pointed out, it is one OF
the curiosities of Mr.. KcKinley's
delicious tariff bill. The tax was
imposed IN the interest of alleged
tin mines in South Dakota AMI Cali
fornia, but up to date only the Cali.
fornia mine has put tin on TIE mark
ct and only to the extent of but 250
tons, and has since been closed. IT
is reported that the Dakota mines
are yielding, but SC far none of
their product has been marked. In
1892 the imports of tin to this
country amounted to $4,000, 900
pounds, which under the Mckinley
tax would represent payment OF
sl76O,OOO. This isa small dose
for "the struggling tin plate in
dustry." The manufacturers of the
United States are compelled to i'm
port all the pig tin they use; and
after July l they will have to pay
four cents pound customs tax or
it. That will he revenue tax, pure
and simple.

The affairs of this institution hav,

ONCE ONE Is TWO.

Such was the multiplication of 8
Banker, and upon footings from that,
developed a deficiency in tryin ;
to account for which the poor man
went crazy. The pitlful story is
told in the school readers, familiar
to old and young, and is a text for
the occasion.
A young man in the pride and
prime of life, leaves with his yomg
wife, the paternal shelter and set
ties in strange surroundings. Not
one of his blood, none of his kith
and kin are about him to lend en-
couragement, to prop and propel.
He is lone handed in the battle of
life. Ambitious and enterpriSing,
he enters upon the practice of his
profession with zeal and meets with
honored success. His active mind
entels into the spirit of progressive
times. lie interests himself in his
town. lie lends his time to the
public, he conceives possibilities for
his people. lie leafs enterprises of
promise and great expectation.
He is not an adept in all the de-
tails of work he has planned and set
to gong, but being a master mind,
Is, instinctively urged to the detail
work which the common cleik could
easily do, but which was not in his
line of thought nor experience to
manage or master. A pin drops
out, wheel is out of gear, a hasty
memoranda,a a wrong date, an inaccu-
rate footing. ''an apparent def
ciency." Once one is two tells the
situation.
There is no deliberate father
standing by to give counsel. No
stalwart brother at hand to render
help; no mothers bosom on which
to rest aud get comic t, consolation.
The Young man whom we see in
this valley of the shadows Is proud.
high spirited as he should he. He
comes of strong hearted pioneer
stock IN whose veins flow no taraish-
ed blood, and whose good name is
their richest inheritance. Confused.
confounded at the apparition Of dis
grace rising before him, he bows
his head, goes out, not knowing
where.
Many a good man, friends and
companions are away to-day, kind
reader, and in the long watches of
the night are MAJ y mothe:s and
loving ones listening for the foot
steps Of return. Life lines of love
and prayer and hope are thrown on,
to wanderers the world over and
seldom IN vain. Let us all. in every
instance where christian charity and
humane feeling have hahitation.
u eak gently-and pray that we
nay not make miscalculations on as
small a matter even as the multipll-
:ation of once one is two.

The Union Church Meetl- e,

The union meetings of the Logan
churches the last week past have
been well attended. The greater
portion of the business houses are
closed at Z o'clock, and the men
who build and maintain churches.

gious service.
At this the scoffer may sneer; the
fiippant may taunt. But, Mr.. In

The men who go to church and
pray can be trusted. The man who
is dutiful to his religion is faithful
to his friends and neighbor, loyal to
his country. The union meetings
now in progress are doing much
social good in this. A good exam
pie is shown to the young people. an
encouragement to the weak, sugges
tions to the indifferent, a menace to
the vile. The meetings tend to
break down the narrowness- and
prejudice of sect, the bane of all
well intending communities, and
makes all better christians, by max
ing all nearer nelghbors.
