The Beauties of It.

There will be heavy falling off this
spring in the personal property tax du-
plicate in this county from last year.
Sheep and horses are not worth half as
much as they were last year. Many have
been compelled to use their savings in
cash to live on and there will be some
shrinkage from that source. The aggre-
gate decrease will be heavy all over the
county. SO the tax rate will have to be
increased. Such are the beauties of

JEFFERSON SOCIETY.
A Brief Account of the Exercises at
Franklin College

The Bic ennial Exercises of the Jefferson
Literary Society of Franklin college, vert
held on Friday evening, March, 23rd in
the United Presbyterian church in New
Athens. The occasion was one of pleas
ure and profit to all who attended. A
feature of the evening was the playing OF
Prof. Chas. KiIlmeyer of Wheeling
Shortly before o'clock the performers
entered the church. After prayer by the
paster, the Rev. J. A. Alexander, the fol-
lowing program was listened to with
strict attention by the audience. Reci-
tation-rhe Swan Song by Miss Ella NJ
Lyle, of L Uniontown Her Interpretation
of the piece was excellent. Miss Mabel
Gail Brannon of Canal Dover, won high
favors by reciting Absoiution. 1t may
be said to the credit of both performers
that their selections were above the aver
age given on such occasions.
Mr. Ray Garbold of Ross, o., read an
essay upon the subject of Melody and
spoke of the harmony that can be found
in home life. Miss Myrtle Clifford, of
Demos, O., in an excellent paper upon
The Motive Principle took charity as the
principle and showed its lack in the past
ages. She made it the basis for the ad-
justment of human difficulties, and pic
tured it as the destroyer of selfishness.
Orations-D. NJ. Lyle, of UniOntown,
spoke upon the subject of Our Noble
Heritage. In fOrceful way he showed
the progress of civilization in the past
century and dwelt upon our legacies for
the future, literature, education, freedom,
equality and Christianity. G L. Guich-
ard. of Allegheny, Pa. spoke in plain,
PRACTICAL and thoughtful way upon the
subject, Our Country and the Twentieth
Century.
The question for debate was, Resolved
that Trades Unions are beneficial to the
labOring class. w. J. HutchisOn, of
WarnOck in affirming spoke of the Trades
Unions as the out growth of condition
and from the fact of the existence of
some evil which needed to be remedied.
w. &. Ramage, of Jacobsburg. in deny
ing said that Trades Unions were det-
riment from financial standpoint, not
only on account of the cost of maintain
ing their Unions, but in the loss of wages.
resulting from the numerous strikes: and,
socially. in the restricting of the number
ef apprentices and because of their insist
ing upon uniformity of wages, as it took
away the incentive to excel.
President Williams, in a few remarks
before the close, spoke of the fact that
this term was the largest in the history
of the college which speaks well for the
Doctors administration. The many
friends of the Jefferson Society can rejoice
in the fact that she has shared in the pros
perity of the college, and is in flourishing
con titiJn,

troll. 1t seems to have caught from a

daughter who was few weeks ago bad
ly injured in feed cutting machine, was
lying. 1t was found necessary toremove
the young lady, but it is not thougt that
she was hurt.

The Freeze.

Fruit growers in this neighborhood
think that the freeze of Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday nights killed the peaches.
Early apples and pears are also injured.
Forward cherries and plums have suffer
ed the same fate. In short all kinds of
fruit that had gotten well along toward
budding is certainly killed. Strawberries,
except where very early do not seem to
be hurt. Late apples have probably es-
capped, as well as ounces and late pears
and plums. The frost might have come
at more inauspicious time, but it is
hard to imagine more favorable condi-
tions tor the ruin of the early fruit.

A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

1t is to be noted that the custom of
parting the hair in the middle-a custom
which has long been subjected to an un-
reasonable prejudice, is again likely to
receive the approval of that-under the
Almighty arbiter of human
destiny, fashion. The dislike of this
mode of treating the hair has been VIC
lent and has consigned many an aspiring
politician into the oblivion of ridicule.
Just why, it is impossible to say. lt is
symmetrical, sensible and natural. Why
then should a man be accounted as Civ
ing hostages to fortune, and as running
serious political or business risks by
combing his locks down on either side
from line in the middle, according to
the dictates of art and nature? Very prob
ably the popular clamor against the mid
die parting was started by baldheaded
men of other days. These people used to
grow their hairs long on the sides and be-
hind, and then comb them up over their
billiard balls, fancying that they thereby
deceived the public, and creating that
unsightly part away down on one side.
which is so peculiarly prominent on Pc
culiarly intellectual looking men.
Mrs. E. Williams, of Muskingum coun-
ty, lately had birthday celebration of
the occasion of reaching her 106thr
year. She is in good health, and is in the
possessio- of her mental faculties. She
also habitually smokes pipe. One can
not help rejecting with sadness on this
lively old lady's life. Think of what an
age she might have attained had she re-
Trained from smoking. Doubtless for
nearly hundred years, she has been
smoking and splitting her life away. And
now she has lived but a paltry los years
with the prospect of only of few more.
Why will the young go on smoking into
their mouths that which steals away vi
tality, when they have presented to them
such striking examples of the weeds
fatal powers? Have a care young men
and young women.
