Wben he began the *• publication of tbe paper.whose phenomenal success brought him fame and fortune, b6 did not wait for the people to ffad out, slowly and gradually* the Inter- »! eating features of his journal. T Ha forced bis enterprise Up on public attention bjea sys tematic *lavishness of ex penditure for advertising which at that tlma was • without precedent or paral lel, Whole pages of dally newspapers Were secured at . high prices to blazon forth the merits Of hts undertale- ■ in*. : From one1and of the country to the other the names of Bonner and bis Ledger Were made fa- ; * miliar to the people by constant repetition. Conservative publishers, jog- glng along in the rtits-~^f old’;* rontine, prophesied bankruptcy and tufa for tbWunconventional Innovator, but Bonner kept on spending ft large share of his re* ceipts in buying publicity, and . . those tedripis increased with ;; startling rapidity. *; Every dollar disbursed in this , . war brought in more dollars-un- ;; «1 croaker# were confounded ;; aud pessimists in this particular . , branch of business silenced by *: his tremendous success, I ! The lesson is one that is as weH •• Worth heeding today aa ft Was .» forty y<«™ ago.-Philadelphia ^ Bulletin, ' SNf OIAft 0 < th# Mm* *' . While in conversation with Deputy Sheriff Bhpert of.. Clark county the first of the'week he spoke very highly of Mr. F . T. Tarbox, candidate for Sheriff of tbiB county. Mr. Rupert is of the opinion that if ever a deputy sheriff deserved the office for tbe hard work that had been performed ■and hardships endured, Mr, TarboX certainly, is entitled to it. H e says that sheriffs und deputies in counties adjoining were greatly pleased to hear that Mr, Tarbox bad been nominated and now they are awaiting his elec tion. The above is given to show the interest taken-by outsiders in the elec tion of Mr. Tarbox to the office of Sheriff. He is popular not only in his home town bnt wherever he Isr known.

" The best game o f foot-ball. eve, r played iu Cedarviile was played last Saturday between the college team aud the Springfield high school, the score being 5 to 0 in favor of the Uometbo/s: During the first halt neither side could score bnt the col- lege hoys ban by far the best of it, as they were able to hold their own ter ritory. During the second h a lf' the Springfield boys succeeded in getting the ball across the line on their* terri tory but they could not hold their ground. The interference on the part 61 the- homu lfam, with the bard work oa the line, gave the ooys every ad vantage. ■The team was coached un der the direction of James Sear/L of Boutli Charleston,and bis services were much appreciated by the boys.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE ANNUAL MEETING,*- The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Cedarviile Telephone company was held a t the hotel Tues day. The following gentlemen were elected on the. hoard of directors: D. Bradfute, O. E , Bradfute, J . C, Me* Millan, J . H . Andrew and -W. JB. Stevenson.

Turnbull, A t present tlio Company is constructing a new line east of town on the Cresweli road that will have some four Or five subscribers. Sev eral other lines are being projected in territory that is yet unoccupied. The company reports some 250 subscribers a t present. The Jamestown Press had. the fol lowing to say in regard to Dr. Fur- b iy ’s lecture: “From the standpoint of sentiment Dr. Furbay’a lecture on “ Christ and My Country,” Is. very strong, and appeals to every patriotic impulse. ' Dr, Furbay’s word painting is beautiful," . * As .Monday .is the last day or sa loons there is considerable talk as to what is to be done in regards to closing tbe dram shops; 1As a usual thing these places are converted into restuu-. rants and soft drink placeB. We understand that there is , talk of two such places being opened on next Wedpesday morning. Tuesday-being election day all sueij -places. are re quired by law to be closed.. Whether these two houses’will confine ‘them selves to the Btrict term of a soft drink house we are nimble to say but it is dollars to doughnuts that such are only to be shields f6r tbe sale of other drinks to those who cad be trusted, As matters now stand under-a recent decision tbe saloons must pay the gov ernment tax even for soft drinks, this under the Beal law .is held ns pnma facia evidence that liquor is being, sold. Then the state auditor has authorized the collection - of the Dow t a x , from soft drink retailers Altogether it seems ns though things will prove quite interestiu for the liq uor dealer before spring. Whether lie saloons continue of go. out of. business we still have the drugstore to Watch. The Herald suggests that the executive committee of the committee ot one hundred get together and levy another assessment on tho $1000 guarantee subscription and d o ; as Jamestown has done, offer a reward of say $50 for the arrest and conviction of any one who violates the Be»l law, As the first assessment wns mostly i'3ed in the. campaigu some money! will be required for different purposes so now is the time to prepare tor them. The people of Cedarviile by a vote of 219 to 95 have said that they do not want saloonB or the sale of fermented liquor permitted aud as tho committee of one hundred has been instrumental in bringing about the above result the Herald suggests that they contiuue to see that tho wish of the people of Ced- arville is fulfilled.

Hear Dr, Furbay Wednesday evening, The poot-pfints ofGinilization ■ - - in Cedarviile Toawship, Ohio. BySeriex,’ ’ \ (Continued from-last week.) The bear disappears with a growl, the wild panther with a Scream, The deer lifts its head with a sniff, and wonders what all may mean, ’Tis the twilight of civilization, a change that tells of much, toil, ' The coming now of the white, man to cultivate the soil: I t’s the story of a hundred years, the work of-great brawn and brain, And tells of labor and sacrifice to produce'tbe golden grain. ■• . Thus one by oue these giant oaks fell crashing with a boom. And axe-men multiplied each year, which told the finnl doom 1 Of the rendezvous and sylvamhome of tbe deer and bufialo, Which had roamed these hills and valleys from the years of long ago. To bring this light and' these changes, to cleat up the vale and the hill, / Took a courage truly heroic in men.of an ifon'will, For there, was a wilderness of forests, there were frees both great and small, And the task to fell these giants that were large and very tall, Required a skillful axe-man with endurance scarce divine, Bu t it was in fact accomplished by your father’s sire and mine. Their implements of culture were homely, strong, and crude, The axe, the saw, the sickle, and the log-chains multitude, The rake, the hoe, the log-sled, the scythe, tWadz, aud plane, The auger, square, and cross-cut, to sever the logs in- twain, The flail to thresh the cereal, the home-made wooden plowed The bells upon tbe horses, and also on the cows, The wagon, strong niid heavy with its sohooner, boat-like bed, J The home-made flaxen garments, the milliner’s, gear for head, . The Bwifts, and loom, and hackles, the flax-break and the reel, ^ . The scutching-knife, and knitting-needle, and the wooden spinning-wheel, They had bees for fun and frolic, they had hhskings, quiltings too* Large gatherings for the log-roll iu this.country all so new; Their home was a humble cabin made of logs and clap-boards broad, Inlaid with puncheon flooring, or the bare and level sod; In this cabin a loft and window, aJateh-strjng. iu the door, A*cradle, trundle-bed, old bureau, but no carpet on the floor; ■ A fire-place wide and spacious with a crane to swing the kettle, F o r the frying and boiling too were in ve sis made o f metal, Theirs a life of toil and labor, but it brought to them a pleasure, * As they worked ’mid stumps and tree-tops for their food and earthly treasure. (Continued next week.) DISH SHOWER. The ladies of the B. P , church gave a dish shower Wednesday afternoon in their rooms in the new 'chureh,. Refreshments were served to about one hundred and fifty. The ladies Were the recipients of many dishes, the usefulness and behuty of which far surpassed their expectations. The afternoou was delightful and the guests were served as they arrived.
