The following, taken from the ADVANCE
will be read with peculiar interest and pleas.
ure by the many Ravenna and Portage Co.
friends of Rev. A. NJ. Hills.
Rev. A. NJ. Hills, who for some years has
been giving part of his time to evangelistic
work, has now, by the advice of many friends
devoted himself entirely to that kind of ser
vice. He has preached nearly three weeks
in Oberlin, in connection with the Congre-
gational Churches, and with marked success
His sermons have been direct, simple, Biblic
al, and presented with great persuasive
power"
From private information we learn that
Mr.. Hills is conducting a series of revival
meetings in Springfield, Mass, commencing
his labors last Sunday. We learn further
that his work in Oberiin was well nigh phe-
nomenal among the residents and students,
in the Athens of Ohio, many comparing his
work favorabiy with that of the great revival
list, Mills. 1t is said that the calls for his
services exceed his ability to respond, many
of them having to be refused in consequence.

Dear Mr.. Powers Allow me to express
on behalf of the management of the Chicago
Young Mems Christian Association, theiI
hearty appreciation of your remarkable
ability as dramatic impe1sonater, as dis
played in your recent presentation of David
Garrick, in the Members Course at Associa-
tion Hall. The remarkable representation
of the difficult characters in the play dem
onstrated unquestionably your superiority
over any other impersonator ever appearing
before our audience. We anticipate the
pleasure of listening to you again neAt sea-
son. Respectfully yours,
l, WILBUR MEssER, Gen. Sec'y.
Rev. Geo. H. Vibbert addressed the High
School and Grammar pupils on the sub
ject of Tobacco, Monday morning, making
many telling points against the use of the
harmful weed. Among other things he
called attention to the fact that its use " as
prohibited in the military school at West
Point, where the finest scholarship and
greatest powers of endurance are required.
He also made the significant statement that
no student who used tobacco ever took the
first place in any of his classes at Harvard
College. In addition to these two statements
he said that it was matter of scientific
knowledge that no habitual tobacco user can
draw straight line. He said further, that
the use of tobacco interfered with the phys
ical, mental and moral development Of the
person thus addicted.

RANDOLPH.

JAN. so. The Hon. James A. Garfield once said
that we would have no permanent financial
prosperity in this country until we returned to
specie payments. 1t is now about seventeen
years since the government returned to specie
payments, and the millennium of good times has
not reached the grt at mass of the American
people yet. The financial question has at last
come to the front, and we hope it will stay there
until it is settled.
We have today the humiiiating fact of Pres
ident of the United State on his knees, fgura-
lively speaking, begging Congress for some sort
of legislation on this question. The Jews and
money Shylocks have the nation by the throat,
and they will never release their grasp as long
as this government recognizes the single gold
standard. Let the government give the Jews
and money Shylocks to understand that the gov
ernment will redeem its obligations in coin, ac-
cording to contract, and when they present their
claims, if there is no gold, pay in silver. There
was $a66, 800 65 in standard silver dollars in the
treasury, Oct. 1, 1884, and this run on the Treas
ury will cease. What if the bonds are paid ac-
cording to contract in coin, are these moneyed
men any better than the common people that
they should be able to set aside plain contract
and demand gold when the contract says coin.
1t was often said in 1873 to 1878 that silver was
sscheap, nasty stuff - but by its characterization
the people of the United States have lost in the
shrinkage of values ia real estate and personal
property, more than enough TO pay the National
debt four times over. For Gods sake is this
condition of things to continue forever. Are the
people never to have relief. We are no hair
Drained theorists the finance question, but if
we read Alright the Constitution says that gold
and silver shall constitute the legal. tender
money of this nation. Let there be free and-un-
limited coinage of both metals, at a ratio fixed
by Congress, and let each and both be used as a
basis of redemption, and this tomfoolery about
paying everything in gold will soon vanish.
At the last meeting of the G. A. R. of this
place there were nine applications for with

Samuel Brombaugh, while saving in his mill

town during the last ten days, each one being a
little colder than he preceding one. The ther-

 This Is truly bad state of affairs and shows bad management. Nothing like this exists in New Haven. The water supply of this great city is abun- dant and were it not for the dinobryon and other things would be all right.
