There is not patronage enough i'll
a small town and county like this to
sustain two rival party papers.
Neither can make money, nor fame,
nor be of much healthy and efficient
influence in the general interests Of
the town. The political and business
rivalry begets party and business
factions, and the cat fight only hurts
the cats, don't even amuse the specta-
tor, but generally disgusts every
body.
The Journal Gazette has our best
wishes for success rs a business enter
prise, and we heartily tender our
hand i'll earnest co operation for every
measure of p"blic interest that may
benefit our town and our county.

Everything is looking up since the
last ram.
The farmers of this locality have
about finished harvesting.
On last Saturday night some young
people of this and adjoining neigh
borhood were returning from an enter
tainment at Locust Grove, and were
indulging in some lively driving,
when the wheel of one buggy came in
contact with the horse of w. j. Haner-
worth which caused the horse to run
off, upsettiug the buggy, throwing
Mr.. Hanerworth and lady out, caus-
ing some slight injuries to the young
lady. The horse broke loose from
the buggy and ran two miles. Boys,
be careful how you drive.
Your correspondent was made to
quake and fear when he saw some
hair which is claimed to have come off
of the wild animal that is terrorizing
the people of Circleville and vicinity.
Ifthe animal compares favorably to
the length of the hair it must be as
big as an OK and should be captured
at once. If we had known of its ap-
pearance a little sooner, we should
have tried to get the republican county
convention to adjourn while i'll its
furry and went after the thing.
The democratic haw-eaters of this
section are pleased with the republi-
can nominees. They think the
slaughter will be easy, and old demo
cracy will triumph again.

BRIAR COTTAGE.

One of the most enjoyable outings
! of the summer, has been the recent
one held at Briar Cottage, on Mr..
A. McCortney's farm; south of the
city.
The Misses, McCortney, Downey,
Whitcraft, have conducted this,
their third annual outing, which is
regarded as the most pleasant and
entertaining of all.
The cottage register--a dainty af-
fair in white celluloid and pale blue
cord, already records the names of
fifty visitors, from Logan, Ian
caster. Columbus, aud Norwalk, one
fair maid registered from the sea
polt city Of Cork, Ireland.
Briar Cottage the age of which
no man knowcth or is concerned
about, stands i'll the depths of sun
lit valley, surrounded by wooded
hills, beautiful and fair to see.
Under the touch of girlish fingers
it has been fitted out with view to
comfort, only. Books-devotional,
poptical, historical, and otherwise,
with games, were provided to the
taste and for the amusement of
guests.
Tuesday last was the festal day of
the outing, being the natal day of
one of the party, when twenty seven
guests were entertained at dinner
and like pretty Polly in the nursery
tale, they of course call staid to
tea"
The party is under the paternal
care of Mr.. McCortney, who is resi-
dent host during the outing, and
who by the way, proved his fatherly
care in a manner which will certain
ly be recorded in the annals of Briar
Cottage history. Said occasion be-
ing the traditional mysterious hour
Of midnight, when darkness had
settled over valley and cottage, and
all created things were supposed to
be in peaceful slumber, then numer-
Gus long tailed mice pursued by an
unfriendly long tailed cat, ran riot
ing through the sleeping apartments,
arousing the maidens, who with one
accord, lifted up their voices in one
despairing cry to him for help. |
Amid shreaks of. laughter, the cat |
the mice escaped, peace
again settled over the valley, and Mr.
McCortney became the hero of the
hour.
The young ladies have in a social
way given their friends many happy
hours of innocent pleasure, who
agree that for hospitality and good
will Briar Cottage i. ahead.

OBITUARY..
Nicholas Kessler.

In our last issue we made mention
of the serious illness of Mr.. Nicholas
Kesser and in this we must record
his obituary, and we do so with the
greatest admiration and respect for
the man who lived nearly ninety two
years in this world without ever hav-
ing made an enemy.
1t is usual in notices of this kind to
express sympathy with the family of
the d, ceased but much as we esteemed
him when we take into consideration
his great age and the infrmaties in
separable from ninety years, we look
upon death in such cases as a deliver
ance rather than an affliction and this is
particularly true of Mr. Kessler, since
death could rob him of nothing but
his infirmities. lie lives on in the
esteem of the whole community, and
the memory of his exemplary life is
embalmed in the affections of all who
knew him.
He was born in Elengen, Rhine
Prussia, in 1904. He was married in
1880 and emigrated to America in
1887. While in Germany he follow
ed the coopers trade, but when he
came to this country he settled on
farm in Marion township, remaining
there until 1867, when he came to
Logan where he remained until his
death, which occurred Thursday, July
"A, 1895, at the ripe old age of 81
years, 1 months and 16 days.
He was the father of eleven chill
dren, five of whom survive him.
Nicholas Kesser was model man
in his class, a representative of that
type of men upon whom all that is
stable and wholesome in society and
government finds enduring founda-
ton. He was a man Of simple habits;
quiet, orderly, submissive to custom
and law, good citizen and an earnes,
christian. lie was honest, economi-
cal and Industrious, and by cheerful,
patient, every day work acquired a
comfortable competence for the winter
of old age. He lived and labored
among his fellows, kind neighbor,
a self respecting and self sustaining
man, and although no high encomi-
ums will announce his praise, no lofty
monument will proclaim his worldly
fame, yet his memory rests upon those
who knew him, a benediction, and
the world is better that Nicholas
Kessler lived in it.
He was buried Saturday morning
from st Johns Church of which he was
a faithful and devoted member all his
life. The funeral services we're strik-
ing and impressive, as the solemn
services of the Catholic church al
ways are, but their solemnity was
by the fact that two OF the
deceaseds grand children who are
studying for the priesthood and one of
whom will be ordained shortly, assist
ed as Deacon and Sub-deacon at the
solemn requiem Mass. May the spec
tacle which gave such edifcation to
the living who witnessed it give
peace to his soul.
