JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP.

Farmers Institute at Bellefontaine on
Friday and Saturday of last week,
was one of the best ever held in
Logan county. 1t is conceded on every
hand that S. H. Todd is one of the very
best institute lecturers on the staff.
We have no hesitancy in saying this.
He is the farmers man and speaks from
the farmers standpoint. For more than
three score years and ten he has been
a tiller of the soil, and perhaps has
done as much as any breeder in the
State, in breeding and developing farm
stock, by which you and I are being
benefited. After years of manual Ia
Dor and arduous toll, he retires from
active service, mounts the rostrum to
teach and tell the secret of success.

d. w. AYERS CANDIDACY.

Editor REPUBLICAN,
In your issue of Tuesday, you indulge
in some remarks anent the candidacy
of D. w. Ayers for Congress, and say
Mr.. Ayers is hugging to his breast the
county will be for him as of old.
Your further remark, that it will not
be SO, is true, we hope. The conven-
ton which nominated the present in
cumbent, Mr.. Lybrand, was called in
the interest of Ayers, and if it had not
been for the combinations entered into
Ayers could have been nominated.
The Logan county gang led by Newt.
Gearing was tearing their clothes for
Ayers, and the postoffices and other
good things were parcelled out among
the faithful in advance, provided Ayers
won: but the combination was too strong
| and in the end Lybrand entered into an
agreement by which the Logan county
contingent were to be taken care of, and
Ayers was forced over the dam.
There never was blacker page writ
ten in Logan county's political history
| than the one written at that Delaware
convention.
Lybrand in less than six weeks after
the convention repudiated nearly every
promise he had made, and his gang
Header in Logan repudiated all of his
promises and helped Lybrand to repu.
diate his. Lybrand's second nomina
tion was akin to the first one; and right
nobly has he done the bidding of his
fellow gangsters in Logan.

sented by mere figure head, and abou1

So Yussouf entertained his guest that night
And, waking him ere day, said: Here is gold.
My swiftest horse is sadded for thy flight
Depart before the prying day grow bold"
As lamp lights another grows less,
So nobleness enkindleth nobleness

Which shines from all self conquest. Kneeling

READING FOR GIRLS.
THEY Do NOT NECESSARILY BE-
COME ADVOCATES OF
Woman Suffrage by Being Well
Informed.

A girl should include biography and
history in her reading courses. The
former is especially valuable for young
persons. To know the lives of distin-
guished people is to know, to a great
extent, all the knowledge and resources
of their times. The study of biogra-
ply furnishes US with valuable ideas
for life's duties, and it cures US of af-
fectation.
A young person is filled with new in
spiration when they read the lives of
good men and noble women.
History gives broader view to
| woman's influence. 1t should not be
regarded as an account of battles and
sieges, nor should it suggest the mem
| orizing of dates.
Young persons may readily under
stand and appreciate history if regard
| is had to historic landmarks. In read
ing the complete history of the United
States one easily understands how
smaller events are connected with
| large ones.
The power of drawing correct con
clusions will be cultivated and the
power of realizing the trnth will be
heightened.
1t is unreasonable to limit the range
of a woman's thoughts any more thar
those of man, to the daily routine O
the average life. The efforts necessar,
to provide living will demand mucl
attention, but women no more than mel
can live by bread alone.
| We are desirous of placing the Ma
tional History of the United State
where it will be accessible to womel
and girls as well as men and boys.
1t is complete history of the Unite
States from A. D. 1000 to 1900. o.
