THE TRANsvAAL QUESTION.
The trouble between the Beers and
English is one Of long standing. Twice
British encroachments compelled the
Boers to move; the Orange Free State
and then the Transvall Republic were
founded successfully to avoid the British.
Now that gold has been found in the

"a HOT TIME"
Lebanon was treated to q rare (2) mus
ical (?) entertainment (?) last Thursday
afternoon and evening. The performers
were two swarthy Italians, their instru-
ment . frsyed-out hand piano. The
soul-stirring strains of popular songs
were ground and reground out of the
apparatus to the delight of tho small fry,
and perhaps it would not be straying
from the truth to remark that the grown
portion Of the population was also en-.
tranced by the music, a the doors and
windows along the line Of march were
well.flled with delighted adults. From
the open mouthed wonder shown by the
citizens, We conclude that this was Leb-
apon's first visit from vagrant musi-
cians.-Lebanon Star.

SURRENDERED AT LAST.
Joshua Simmons is the hero of two
wars, doing valiant service in both the
Mexican and Civil Wars. He is SO years
of age, and while he never surrendered
in battle, he has been captured by some
of Cupid's darts and forced to capitulate.
The lady who will make Joshua happy
was Mrs. Mary Files. The couple called
on Squire johnson last evening at his
home, corner Market and Dayton
streets, and announced their readiness
to enter into a matrimonial alliance, and
the Squire soon had the knot tied in the
most approved fashion, and in manner
highly satisfactory to both parties. Mr..
and Mrs. Simmons then took their de-
parture for their home in the western
part of the city.-Xenia Gazette.
TIMELY ADVICE.
1t is time action was taken providing
for the manner of nominating the decen.
nial land appraisers to be elected at the
fall election. There is one to be chosen
in each township, and the candidates
must be chosen by party conventions or
primaries. The work they have to per-
form is important and only the best men
should be selected for the places. 1t is
the duty OF the Republican Central Com
mittee to say how and when the Repub-
licans of each township shall make their
nominations. ons.-Wilmington Journal.
