The lecture Saturday night at

B. Gordon, under the auspices of the
University Lecture Committee, was
we'll attend and gave the greatest
satisfaction to every person in
the large audience. About 125 Fair
monters came down on special
train and returned at IL p m Fer
ty people from PIT Marion, came up
on an excursion boat and many PEG
Pile came in from the country. Gen.
Gordon's ability as an orator is too
well known to call for comment. The
subject of his lecture was, "The Last
Days of the Confederacy," and the
manner in which the General handled
it called for the frequent and prolong
ed applause. The man who does not
think that the war is over should
hear General Gordon, who was one
of the bravest officers in the Confed
crate army, deliver this lecture and
after hearing it he would forever
cease to wave the bloody shirt. No
lecture that has been delivered here
gave more satisfaction and when af-
ter talking for two hours the Gener-
al expressed his intention of closing
his address there was general cry,
of "go on General" The Generals
peroration was masterful piece of
oratory and teemed with patriotic
sentiments.

haps they will interest a few OF your
many readers | left your town on the
10Th arriving in Venice, Ohio, the next
morning. feeling a little drowsy after a
nights ride, l have seen all the West
Virginia families in this neighborhood,
viz George Corrothers, Judson and John
Hess. Corrothers lives on farm Of $50
acres, West Bellbrook, he moved on 1t
last fall. Judson Hess is in Wanen
county, on farm of so acres. John Hess
is East of Nenia on large farm, Tom
Hess is on one Of PIP acres East Of Bell
brook where he has lived for the past ! l
years.
Aunt Sarah Hess makes her home
with her son John, she is enjoying very
good health for one of her age. John :
health is better than 1t was some time
ago.
The farmers are badly behind gather
ing corn, there are but very few that are
done husking The corn crop is good
for dry season. Some are hauling it
to Dayton, a distance of Is miles, at 30
cents per bushel. We West Virginia
farmers would think il big job to haul
corn that far, they get S. for load of
fodder there. Wheat is 6S cents. The
prospect for wheat is not very fiattering
ior another year, the late sowed wheat is
scarcely up vet and what is up is very
thin the dry weather was hard on it.
Hog killing is in order here. There
are plenty of hogs, nearly every farmer
has from 10 to 80 hogs, all hogs and
sheep and no cattle, or but very few. the
cholera has been getting in its work in
some neighborhoods it is dreaded by the
hogs raisers as it soon gets away With a
lot of hogs.
Thomas Hess and myself we're hunt
ing yesterday, had some luck, killed 3
squirrels two rabbits and one opossum.
Game is not very plentiful,
am having good time. Don't know
whether there will be much Nmas here
or not. Some OF the stores are making
a fine display OF Nmas goods in Nenia.
