Station, which will be distributed for seeding purposes.

Nor walk, Ohio, Tuesday night, the City Council passed an ordinance granting the Northwestern Ohio Natural Gas Co., the right to pipe gas into their city for five years, and to chargc 20 cents per 1 000 feet. This would make a $100 well worth about $200 per day. Gas is in great demand and will bring higher prices in the future.

This is time of year when reductions are made in summer clothing. It is our idea

to sell an article at what it cost and even less, rather than carry it over another season. And so we have reduced our mens' summer clothing so that if you expect to buy any clothes at all, you can make money by calling on us now. The Long

UNION TOWNSHIP, in Montgomery Co., carried the free gravel road question by a vote of 1,578. There were but 198 votes cast against it. All the progressive counties are voting for free gravel roads. Boone county has free pikes. Hamilton county soon will have all her roads free, and we have no doubt that Hancock county's roads will soon all be free. If we mean to be progressive and keep up with the procession let us vote for free pikes.

Chairman, F. M. Millikan, of Newcastle, Secretary and Joseph I. Irwin, of Columbus, Treasurer. The above are all organizers and the Republican party will be led on to victory in Indiana in the next campaign. There is not a better political manager in the State than L. T. Michener and he was chosen as the unanimous choice of every worker in the State. The gather ing, last Friday was large, enthusiastic (and harmonious, all seeking, desiring and believing in the future success of the G. O. R. P.

RAMBLER'S ROUNDS.

The Republican's Scribe Abroad.

The first thing on the program, Monday, was to get my trotters shod. While getting ready to move, John Miller volunteered me a few pointers, which I gratefully took in.

As I passed through East Greenfield, Geo. Reece was sinking the first well there. Mr. Lafe Stephens is preparing to erect the first house in that part of town.

Going north Mr. Bridges gave an account of himself. The old gentleman is 72 years old. Has been in the county 60 years. Mr. Bridges was accidently left out of the old men's list, as published a few week ago,

The com along here is looking splendid, and it will surely make a good crop. Mrs. Sarah Trowbridge wants to get the news fresh, so she reads the REPUBLICAN.

I took a peep into the new Independence ^school house. This is a nice commodious 'ifhouse, substantially made of brick and relects much credit on our Trustee, J. L. 'ry. The wooden school house will soon among the things that were.

Mr. Murphy is contractor and builder $bf his new barn, which is nearing completion. This is his first and I would like see any of,our old contractors down

from

the appearance of the soil, on each ide of the street, I would think it able to luce pumpkins or any other native regetation. Saw some of the nicest wheat ive ever seen, on this street.

I had a short talk with Thomas Miller. The old gentleman is 81 years old. He has been a very active man during his days. He has lost the sight of one eye, and the other one is very weak. His books show that be has threshed 187,000 bushels of wheat for people, besides other grain. Mrs. Miller had been very poorly, but was better when I was there. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have walked hand in hand down life's pathway for over 60 years, He says he is awaiting the Lord's will, bid

ding him him lay down his scepter and step off the stage of action, as they both have about finished their work. I hope they may spend many pleasant days, yet among their children.

It getting near night Mr. Workman and his nice daughters kindly took me in and cared for me over night. Mr. Workman is a REPUBLICAN of long standing. His wife being dead his daughters keep house for him, with Miss Kate in the lead ably seconded by Mollie. You may rest assuredit is elegantly done. After partaking of a nice breakfast, which demonstrated the truth of my statement regarding the girls, I bid the kind people adieu and was again on the road.

I saw the beautiful new residence of Mr. Braddock to the right, at the north end of P. street, that is nearing completion. Our old friend J. H. McKown is contractor.

Stopped awhile at Mr. J. J. Pratt's, commonly called Kid. Mr. Pratt has a filly 9 mouths old, out of Tasco, that has the symmetry and general make up to make a trotter, this is a good oue and Mr. Pratt should be proud of her. Mr. Pratt is a Democrat, but his wife believes in Protection. I saw Marion Forgy at Pratt's. He is keeping bachelor's hall. His two young daughters Hattie and Mattie are at their aunt's, in town, and are faithful attendants at the Christian Sunday School.

At Willow Branch met several of our old Republican friends. They have a splendid gas well. I witnessed its force andwould pronounce it a gusher. A. B. Thomas is preparing to use natural fuel, and light.

Rev. Scott and Wm. Robb were there, booming the World Remedies. Going north came to the home of L. B. Thomas, and exchanged a few words with him. He is quite a jovial young Republican. He and his father live close together, and everything about their premises denotes thrift and industry.

Coming to the Warrington pike I called at the fine residence of E. C. artindala. He asked me to stay all night and I readily acquiesced. Mr. and Mrs. Martindale are young people, and among the best. They are devoted church members and grand singers. Mr. Martindale is a teacher of singing and their little boys, they have four, are splendid singers. Each carries his part through without a break. It is a treat to hear them. I left Martindale's fully resolved to call again

J. N. Martindale, E. C.'s father, lives just south of him. and I will call on him next time.

As fine farming land as I have seen lay along this Warrington pike. Our old patrons, Martindale, A. H. Johnson, A. Paxton, J. R. Staley and Joseph Baer, live on this pike.

Called on M. Baer and found him up with his business, and also a regular reader of the REPUBLICAN. His son accidently shot himself last February. The boy was a model young fellow, just verging into manhood. The blow has fallen heavily on the family.

Goiug north our old friend W. G. Caldwell invited me in. I stayed for dinner. Mr, Caldwell has plenty to eat, and Mrs. Caldwell knows how to prepare it. After spending some time with these kind old people I went my way.

Milner Corner was quiet and business dull, but every oue around there was busy at work.

F. M, Jackson Was busy as usual. Crops are good up here, but there has been too much rain for haying, also damaging the oats. The whistle, oft he thresher is now heard and new straw-stacks begin to appear.

Nashville's spires loom up in thej distance, but I leave this city to the east, for my pen is not capable of description.

At Warrington some of the people were shading and several others were practicing on anew game. They were trying to see who could throw a horseshoe over a stick stuck in the ground.

Dr. Tlanna r.nd Mr. Masters have bought the mill property there, and are having it remodeled, by putting in rollers and equipping it with the latest improved machinery. This is a good mill site as there is not a flour mill within ten miles.

The United Brethren and Christians each have a church there, and are in a thriving condition. 1 listened to a class perform at one of the churches, taught by Mr. Martindale. This class does some splendid singing, and will soon be able to sing with our best singers.

Dr. Trees has beautified his residence by having it painted nicely. After interviewing the doctor and others of the numerous good citizens there, including Mr. Thorp, the new P. M., and Mr. Trueblood, and being kindly shown through Dr. Hanna's stable of fine horses, which we have mentioned in another column, I went toward Wilkinson, and on the way I stopped and had a pleasant chat with Steven McCray. The gentleman is full of humor and I enjoyed it very much. He has had a great struggle to keep the wolf from the door, as he only has 300 acres of land, 70 head of sheep, 15 head of horses, and other things in proportion. His wife has to buy the coffee. He says he keeps

the lamb (a sheep) in his front yard as an emblem of purity. Mr. snd Mrs. Gibbs, on this road, are among our best people, and they will read the REPUBLICAN. Mr. Gibbs is afflicted with erysipelas in oue of his hands, p-

Tlie farmers have placards conspicously posed along the boards up here, warning the trespasser to beware of the "Red Eyed Law."

Wilkinson people are enjoying the benefits of natural gas, and are happy. I shared the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Powers, they are amenng our most industrious people, and have one of the nicest homes in Wilkinson.

Mr. Boyer, the New P. M., is right at his post. Hollenback & May are wideawake hardware men and have a good trade.

Mr. Burkett, across the street, was unpacking some new goods, and can supply the various wants of his lady customers, in the way of wearing apparel as cheap as any one.

Gentlemeu Forbes and May are talking of putting up a new flour mill at that point. This is a thing much needed there.

On the road from Wilkinson to Maxwell the crops on each side are poor, as the water was standing all over the fields in some places.

Mr. Chnppel and his son, of Eden, were coming to town, so they kindly invited me to ride.

Nearly the first man I met was W. H. Glascock petitioning people to buy lots in East Greenfield. He had sold $1,500.00 worth that day, and if there were a few more like him they would soon be sold.

I had the pleasure, this week, of meeting a few who know how to edit a great big county newspaper. It should not be like the tame affairs that are now produced. It should contain gems of thought for the kids, pretty little stories for boys and girls, contain no advertisements. It should have long articles on Tariff issues, great, big, long editorials, of their own production, on affairs, both State and National, schooling and educating the people to a higher plane of thought and action, that they might be better able to wrestle with those questions pertaining to their present and future welfare. But thi3 fact, I hope, will cause no disturbance of the elements, and the REPUBLICAN will continue to be issued each week at $1.00 per year, and go. a welcome visitor, to the homes of its hundreds of esteemed patrons.

obituary*Simmonsp®

Theodore Franklin the youngest child of John B., and Harriett E. Simmons, was born November 18th, 1858, and died at 3 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, July 23d, 1889, at his home in this city, aged 30 years, 8 months and 10 days.

The decedent was a member of the Christian church, uniting with the church at Warrington, this county, in the year 1881, under the ministration of Eider Cornelius Quick, and remained a member of that congregation until his death, although, when he became a citizen of this city, he entered heartily and zealously in the work with the congregation here. The decedent was brought up on a farm and was taught that it was honorable to labor and while thus engaged he acquired such knowledge of books as to be able to become a teacher in our public schools. Iu this line of duty he sought recreation, and it gave him pleasure to instruct- and instill into ether minds such ideas as would build up, strengthen and prepare them for future usefulness. It seemed that his study consisted in trying to get at those truths which, when followed, makes life better, rather than those things which, if presented, only tend to mysrify and darken. His life fully exemplified those truths of honesty, virtue and temperance, fie was just in the meridian of life when death came. The illness that befell him was unexpected true, he expected to die, but at this time looking forward—his eyo looking over the future sea, setting a sail here and there, and seeing them caught and spread with joy and happiness, when, instead, we see him on Friday, preceding his death, brain racked -with pain, and on Saturday following, with fever, and ou Sunday at 3 o'clock, he is stricken with paralysis and unconscious, he lies until Tuesday, July 23d, 1889, he dies, surrounded by mother, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends. His life is an open page to be read of all.

Services were conducted at his late home on North Pennsylvania street, on yesterday at 10 o'clock, by Elder J. L. Parsons. There was a large concourse of relatives and friends present. The burial was at Simmons' Cemetery yesterday afternoon.
