HON. G. VI. CASTLE.

The following Is taken from the
Licking Valley Courier of Nov. 5.
1913:
Our good friend G.. w. Castle, Of
Louisa, was in the county last week
working in the interest OF Charley
Arnett and the Democratic ticket,
and II Is needless to say that he did
some effective campaigning.
There is no more consistent dem
ocrat nor ardent party worker In the
Big Sandy valley, nor anywhere else
than Mr.. Castle. Unlike many cam
paigners, he not only gives his time
70 the work, but foots his own bills
while dong ii. Mr.. Castle is poll
tician OF the "old school'who gives
the term Democracy" its true in
depreciation and lives and practices
the rule of reason rather than
coercion, In his party work he ap-
peals to the patriotism of the voter
rather than to his prejudice. His
aim is 10 win converts to the cause
of Democracy by showing the good
II has done and is doing, rather
than by dwelling upon the iniquities
of other parties.

tiles and business alike and has no
word or censure for the man who,
from honest conviction, holds an
opinion different from his own, and
this fact, coupled with his untir-
ing zeal, is the secret of his success
as campaigner.
MIR. Castle is beset by a host of
Morgan county democrats to make
the race for Commonwealth's Attor-
ney, and should he decide to enter
the race he would do so with an in
itial following that would look
legion" to other prospective candi-
dates. In addition to having many
relatives in this county, he is per-
sonally popular with the people ir-
respective OF political affiliation.
Should he be nominated and elect
ed TO that important position he
would bring with him those sterling
quantities fearlessness, rugged hon
esty and devotion TO duty, so essen

Arrest, Escape And Re-captured.

On Saturday evening last a
Georges creek man was arrested her
and lodged In the city prison, ,charg-
ed with drinking liquor on G. and
20, No. 3S. Sometime during Sunday
night, as he alleges, couple OF
men went to the prison where he
was in the day walk and asked him
how much he would give 10 get out
he said he didn't have much, but
would give them five dollans. The
men then told him to hand out the
money, but he told them to get him
out first. They Immediately went to
work on the wall with pick or a
crow bar, and in a short time they
had made an opening large enough
to let the man out. His rescuers
told him to come across" and to
their disgust and rage he told them
his account showed only SO cents to
his credit. The men Immediately
prepared for battle an2 Spencer took
TO his heels. The men followed him,
throwing missiles of various kinds,
and kept up the fruitless chase to
a point on the river bank above the
bridge, when they lost the game. On
Monday morning Marshal Muncy
hearing the fugitive was at Torch
light,we to that place and brought
him back for trial.

Get wise" to The Parcels Post.

Unquestionably 1t is true that there
are great possibilities in the parcel
post. The parcel post is great in
stitution, but the people do not yet
thoroughly understand and apDre-
ciate it. 1t offers an ideal system
of marketing for rural produce, but
there will have to be reciprocity and
cooperation in the matter before
the country can enjoy its benefits in
greatest degree.
In most instances business firms
in the cities and towns have been
quick to make use of 1t, but in
this part OF the country at least the
producers are not waking up 10 IT
with the promptness that might
have been expected, considering the
fact that the farmers organizations
have been most insistent in de-
manding it. Delay in marketing
causes many products to deteriorate
or TO go to waste. The parcel post
plan offers daily medium OF trans
portation and the cities offer a
market for the producers commodi-
ties. The only thing necessary Is
that the consumer and producer
should get together. With mutual
understanding OF the supply and de-
mand it Should not be difficult TO
sLapnsh DaBis for a continuing
business.
The rural districts, especially need
to "get WISE to the opportunities
that are offered by the parcel post.
The system has, come to stay and
it was established not for posterity
but for the peopie now on earth

AGAINST SCHEDULE.

II has been reported here for some
time that a new schedule will go
Into effect on the c. and o. next
Sunday and that it will change the
time of Big Sandy train No. 39,mak-
ing II two hours later than at pres
en-. Instead of passing Louisa at 4
O'Clock it would go at six p. m.
The report also says new train
will be. put on the main line, pass
ing Ashland about six p. m. going
west. If this be true the change
in train 39 would cause Big Sandy
.Sople to lose the best connection
that has ever been possible on the
c.. and o. for those desiring to go
to Cincinnati and other points
west. With 39 running as at present
passengers leaving Louisa at A p.
N. would be in Cincinnati at 10
p. nj.
The Business Mems League OF
Louisa took the matter up Monday
ard wired protest to President
Stevens against the reported change
in time of 80. This was followed by
written protest setting forth the
reason why no change should be
made

ly turned it over to the ticket agent,

ported the loss TO the conductor Of
