THAT $4,000.
What VIII be Done With the Addi.
tiOnal $4,000, II the Bond
Issue Carries.

There is naturally considerable inquiry
among citizens as to what will be done
with the money to be secured by the
additional water works bonds.
In the first place, no one is disposed
to question the honesty or the judgment
of the Water Works Trustees. But,
some ask whether this money will fall
into their custody and management.
In answer to this is given the positive
assurance that the expenditure would
be entirely in the hands of the Water
Works Trustees.
The next query is, What would they
do with it?
In the first place the running expen,
ses must be provided for.
That done, the service pipe will be
put to the curb for the benefit of con.
sumers. This will require heavy out.
lay, but will be remunerative in the long
run, since it will greatly augment the
number of patrons.
After this, the remaining funds may be
applied toward such judicious extenfi ions
as may conduce to public safety and to
the revenue from the plant.
The fact that the entire managem ent
Of the fund will be in the hands of the
Trustees is in itself guarantee that the
best possible results will be attained.

Ought TO Die.


tramp was noticed in the alley west OF
West street. After while the women
folks OF the neighborhood noticed that
he had little four.year. r.old daughter of
T.J. Asher in his arms. He disappeared
with the child into an old, unused shed.
Peter Goodwin was summoned and went
at once to the shed, where he found the
scoundrel apparently taking unmen.
tionable liberties with the crying and
struggling child. Instead of Draining
him, as he should have done, Mr.. Good
win arrested him and turned him over
to the Marshal. The evidence of his
having accomplished any injury to the
child was not then positive, but later
medical examination proved that such
was the case. The little girl was not
old enough to give very coherant
account of what had been done. The
only objection we can find to Mr.. Good
wins course is that he was too consid.
crate of the legal limitations of his
authority. Usually, we are stickler for
law, but, when such sneaks get into a
com mnunity, there is no father who
wouldn't justify anybody in mashing
the life out of him, as he would out of a
snake. To be sure, Mr.. Goodwin was
not positive of the crime, though every
thing indicated it, but the miserable
wretch protested he was only coaxing
the little girl to go to saloon and get
him bucket of beer. If ever the occa-
sion offers again, we hope the plucky
Goodwin will not be too scrupulous to
take the guilt of the brute for granted,
and fix him for the Coroner instead of
the Marshal
In the absence of Mayor Davis, the
tramp was taken before Esq. Fl. H.
Maddox. Two charges were placed
against him, one for lettering and one
for assault with intent to rape. This
was precautionary measure. He was
to be tried and sentenced on the first,
and then the evidence could be pro.
cured on the graver charge. Fsr loiter.
ing the Squire fined him to the extent
of the law, $50 and gave him thirty days
in the work-house, after which be will
be brought back and tried on the other
charge.
He gave his name as Tom Carr, and
said he lived at Indianapolis. He
claimed to be here looking for work, but
no one knows of his having asked for
work.
After being incarcerated in the Jail he
began to play crazy, and iold Sterling
Hughes, who is serving sentence for
fighting, that he felt spell coming on.
He also suggested that when he was in
one of these spells he was dangerous,
and it took four men to hold him.
"Well," said Hughes, "You id
blankety. blank, blank, it won't take
any four men to hold you If you take a
fit in here with me. III take a chail
and knock your blank-blanked brains
out. I'd like to have an excuse to kill
such an onery dog as you are, any
how"
1t is needless to say that the tramp
didn't take ''spell" or show the slight.
est symptoms of one after that.
He is now in the work house.

N. II. AYREs.
Death Of Good Man, an Honored Citi.
zen and Faithful Official.

For years Nathan Ayres has borne the
heavy hand of physical affliction with a
cheerful patience that has been the
wonder OF his friends.
1t is not necessary that we should en-.
large upon the many manly and Christ
ian qualities Of this excellent man. He
has gone in and out among the people
OF this community for many years. They
knew him well, and not a whisper of
harm has ever been uttered against him.
He will be sadly missed in home and
church and community. The world
needs such men as Nathan Ayres.
His stricken family have our heartfelt
sympathy in this hour of bitter sorrow
and darkness. We give herewith the
memorial data read by Rev. G. H. Dart,
at the funeral services in the M. E..
Church, Sunday afternoon. The inter.
ment took place at Dunn's Chapel, near
his former home, and the entire people
turned out to honor his memory. Among
the large concourse Of friends who fol.
lowed the remains from this city to their
last resaing place, were the city officials,
who attended in body.
Surrounded by those who had known
and loved him, through years of ill
health and months of heroic suffering,
Nathan H. Ayres breathed his last on
Friday, June LIST, 1894.
He was born near Willettsville, High.
land county, Ohio, January 10th, 1885,
the greater part of his life being spent in
this city. He was son of Capt Nathan
and Martha Bradley Ayres, both repre-
sentatives of Virginias first families.
Under the refining influence of home,
and the culture of Christian mother,
he grew to manhood, courteous and
kindly gentleman, developing the beau
tiful traits of character which marked
his life and made for him hosts of friends.
He was married in 1859 to Mary J.
link. With her are left, two sons in
California, and two daughters, who
have so faithfully minist cred, and with
loving hands, smoothed the pillow OF
pain, 80 patiently and bravely endured.
| OF his life as a citizen of Hillsboro,
little need be said, it is too we'll known.
His gentle, unassuming manner, true
Christian faith, and sterling integrity.
with love for the good and pure, and
scorn for the low and mean, have left
their impression, and Nathan Ayres will
long be remembered for his pure, up.
right life.
For seventeen years he has filled, with
perfect satisfaction, the offices of Cor.
poration and Township Clerk. Though
carrying these years, the mantle ol
affliction, no duty was ever sighted Of
work left undone.
So, after life's painful journey, its joys
and sorrows, he sleeps-yes sleeps, fol
after toll comes rest. And as the gates
swing open We hear the welcome song
"Oh, race we'll run,
Oh, work well done
| will give thee rest,
| For the feet so oft grown weary,
These earthly mountains trod,
Will never more falter or grow weary,
| On the eternal hill Of Cod A"
