means twenty-dx miles Of roadway,
and 1t Is more than probable that
before the contract for this length OF
road is completed other contracts for
additional road construction on this

miles of turnpike In Fayette county
the complete reconstruction would
mean the investment Of 100000 In
new pixies for the county.
1t is expected that by the fall Of 1902
the twenty.six miles Of model road
contracted for will be completed. The
fiscal court Is then expected to issue an
order fo: an additional two miles on

MAN AND NATURE.

Meath the clouds like warriors gath
ering,
On the battlefield of blue, :
Meath the sky when all is tranquil,
And there are no clouds in view;
Meath the starry dome of Heaven,
Whence mas fled the light of day:
Man goes struggling on, unmindful
OF what Nature has to say.
In the early dawn of morning,
When the dew Is on the grass;
In the evening when the river
Seems to be Il sea of glass;
In the radiant MONDAY splendor
When the earth is robed in glory;
We have time enough to listen
TO all else but Natures story.
Mid the flowers of Natures gardens
Mid the stiffness of her groves;
Near the sparkling little brooklet
Which In unrest ever moves
on the hillside rising gently
From the fertile plain below,
How we drudge along, unheeding
Mother Natures gorgeous show.
But not all of us are stupid
With our feelings petrified,
For to some whose love for Nature
Has been tested, has been tried,
Comes a voice from every hilltop,
Comes song from every plain,
And we realize how peaceful
And how sweet is Natures reign.

FOR PROBATE JUDGE,
WILLIAM {. YOUNG.

William Il. Young was not reared
in luxury, and physical labor made
his hands callous at a very tender
age. He lived among the plain people
of Holmes county He was one of
them and his heart--his sympathy-is
still with the common people-the
masses. This is one reason why Mr..
Young is an exceptionally strong can
didate on the Democratic ticket in
Summit county this fall. Another is
that If elected Probate Judge-for that
is the Office he seeks-he will take to
it deep learning and much experience
in the business of law and the affairs
of men. Mr. Young's record as May
or of Akron is proof of the correctness
of these assertions. Akron never had
a more careful and painstaklng Mayor
nor one who judged more impartially
whether it were the rich or the poor
WIN W mum ht IL tNti tlItu,
he preferred that it be ON the side of
mercy, and in all his official acts he
sought to provide for the welfare of
the taxpayers and citizens generally
rather than private interests. whether
his own or those of others. In private
life, too, he has stood for the good of
the community in general in all things
and has been a staunch advocate of
the rights of the property owners and
the wage earners as against unfair
encroachments of those who sought
special privileges.
AS a lawyer Mr.. Young has built
up large practice, covering litigation
in all the Ohio, District and United
States courts. AS a citizen he is q
man of family and a property owner,
conscientious and honest. These are
very essential qualifications for a
/ man who aspires to be Probate Judge
for no other court in the land has SC

ed the wages of their employees,
Involving a cost of $34, 110,0 600, and
the number of recipients being
500, 200. These concerns include

There is spirit of carping shown

As the increase in wages at no

also as a shrewd way of guarding
against q strike, the raise in
freight schedules is a matter apart.
