The Morgan County Democrat

the war now being waged to sup
press rebellion and preserve the
union; and, whereas, we are in ia
vor of remedying evils by peaceable
and civil methods, when 1t can be
done; therefore, we hereby agree to
withdraw all patronage, support and
influence from said Enquirer. so
long as it shall be conducted as 1t
has been. Signed by the following:
e. M. Stanbery, F. w. Wood, Geo.
S. Welch, W. Robinson, A. Alder
man, D. c. Pinkerton, Hooper &
Berry, w. A. Sturgeon, A. w. Walk
er & Co., Wood, Mcdaniel & Co..

B. Stone & Co., Davis Hoffman &
Co., H. r. Pinkerton A. w Ewing,
Worley Adams, H. Dunsmoor, James
B. McGrew, R. Stanton. AS you
will note this list included prac-
tically all the prominent business
men of the two towns and it would
cause the Enquirer to lose their
advertising, which was very likely
Is percent of it's revenue. I can
| find no record Of what happened
afterward. Whether the Enquirer
changed it's politics and refrained
| from further engaging in politics
or whether he sold out or suspend
ed publication know that his
business was injured quite a bit, as
find that in 1864, following this
circular, the copies of the Enquirer
| | have are much smaller. Vol. s
| No. 5, is the next issue I have, and
it is four-column paper, of four
| pages. and the full size of a page is
but 10 inches wide and IA and q
quarter inches long. and there is
| less than two and a half columns o1
advertising matter in it and hall
Of that is from other towns ana
nearly all the balance is patent
| medicine ads. So while Mr.. Cyru:
| McGlashan, continued, at least for g
time, to publish his Enquirer, he
was severely injured in his pocket
| book. l suppose that this shows US
| that while we have free press II
| our country, we cannot have it al
ways too free.
Markets, Etc.
The markets reported in Septem
Der, 1863, were: Wheat. soc, an(
flour, $3.50 per barrel; oats, 40 tt
| soc; corn, 70 to 75c; flax, 81 t
1925; hay, $12 per ton; Irish po
taotes, SIS to 75c; butter, 1 5 to zoe
and eggs, sc per dozen.
The election proclamation is sign
ed by N NJ. Brent, sheriff of Nor
gan county, and provides for tht
| soldiers to vote in the field.
| Among items of interest we fine
that a ticket agency for the Ma
rietta and Cincinnati railroad ha:
been opened at the Post house. Col

fine sheep when he left for thu

would sell them on reasonable

BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. II G.N.SO
The stock market developed an
improved trend today after the de-
cline of the last three days.
Gains in leaders ran to a point
and more, but trading quoted
down after a furry Of activity at
the opening.
Steel shares were leaders in the
markets better trend. U. S. Steer
and Bethlehem each started a
point higher and held their gains
in the face of an easing tendency
later. Strength in steel scrap
prices was q factor.
Auto shares also we're in demand
at higher prices. Chrysler was
up over a point but gave up part
of this toward midday. General
Motors was higher, and some OF
the low-priced independents were
active.
Fractional gains were scored by
copper shares in the face Of a re-
duction OF As-cent a pound in

The railroad list scored mod
crate gains. october carrier earn
ings made an improved showing.

likes the streamlined models and
Uncle Bob says the fine bodies
are all right but give him the

hood.
EVERYONE PLEASED?
Everyone seems pleased with
the 1889 cars BUT THE PEDES-
TRIAN. No one seems to have
taken him into consideration.
Safety Campaigns all look
mighty good ON THE POSTERS
and the new Inspection" stick
ers are nice decorations for the
windshield but NOT ONE CAR
of the new crop is equipped with a
CHILD CATCHER" instead Of q
bumper.
Even the cows are protected
with a Cow CATCHER" on the
railroad right-of-way and the old
style street car used to have q
wire NET to protect careless pc
destrians. Why can't some bril-
liant inventor perfect a CHILD
CATCHER" that would fit on the
front Of the automobile. 1t would
be a sensation at the next Auto
mobile Show.
