Allatoona.
Notwithstanding the storm which pre

drama of Allatoona. Tiiis play was iu
the course of preparation for some weeks
previous, and expectation ran high on
the night of the initial performance, nor
were those who went to see the play dis
appointed, for the whole was rendered
in such a manner as to elicit the closest
attention aud the heartiest applause.
The play was by far the best of its style
ever produced in this city. The dialogue
is unexceptional. Tae drama was
mounted iu fine style, with excellent
appointments and wardrobe. The char
acters were well cast, the management
displaying considerable tact in the dis
tribution of the different parts. All the
ladies and gentlemen engaged in the
performance sustained their several
roles in a very creditable manner, and
much better thau a large class oi profes
sional players. The parts were well
studied, and therefore dispensed in a
great measure with the presence of the
prompter. On the whole the perform
ances of Allatoona were a perfect sue

Ens. Jkkf. : The discussion of the
pike question being now in order, and
your eoullin8 being offered as a medium
through which this discussion may be
had, I, as an opponent of mud, aud an
advocate of stone pikes, would like to
have my say on this most important
question now before the people of this
county.
This question should claim the candid
attention of every tax payer of the coun
ty, for I deem it of more vital import
ance than anything else now claiming
attention.
The condition of our roads the past
fall and whiter has brought many of our
people to consider as to the best method
to be employed to lift themselves out of
the mud, and I presume there is no dif
fereuce of opinion as to the ntcesxdy of
improving our roads, but as to the
method and means to be used, there
seems to oe quite a aiiierence some
claiming that underdrainage would be
all-sufficient to make our roads perma
nently good while others claim that
nothing but stone or gravel will answer
the purpose ; while there is another class,
utterly opposed to anything involving
any further expense than the old way of
piling up the mud in them, while there
is still another, but insignificant class
that is opposed to auy improvement
whatever, and doubtless all these classes
have their ideas founded upon real or
supposed economical reasons.
Mr. Brown, in his communication iu
the last week's Jeff., divides the people
of the county into but two classes : first,
those in favor of pikes, aud who of
course "have no motive but self-interest;"
second, those opposed to pikes aud
who are actuated by the opposite prin
ciple. This latter class is a myth and
has no existence, except iu the imagina
tion of Mr. B., and to which he "ad
dresses himself." I am surprised to see
such assertions as Mr. B. makes. I
claim that public interest and private,
or, as Mr. B. is pleased to call it, self in
terest, are so intimately connected that
a person cannot oppose the one without
directly or indirectly opposing the other.
Mr. B. makes the sweeping assertion
that all who are in favor of a tax to im
prove our roads, are so from self-interest.
Certainly. It is just as natural as
that water will run down hill but pray,
Mr. Brown, what motive prompts you,
and those you claim to represent, iu op
posing such a tax? Do you do so from
purely disinterested motives? I trow
not. Self-interest, either direct or in
direct, present or prospective, lies at the
bottom of every man's actions.
Mr. B's figuring shows quite a formid
able result, and would seem, at first
sight, to appal any ordinary mind. But
it should be recollected that he is a law
yer, aud that his argument is all on one
side, aud if divested of its sophistry, wili
be of much less force.
Messrs. Editors, if the people of Han
cock county were to pay oue million dol.
lars in taxes, in one or two years for any
purpose, it would be an impossibility.
But let that sum be distributed among
ten, fifteen, or twenty years, and the bur
den would hardly be felt. Now, it is not
proposed to pike all our roads in oue
year, but the object is to make a begin
ning, and unless this is done, we shall
never have any pikes, and our roads will
ba the same thing over and over every
year, notwithstanding the thousands
that are annually squandered iu piling
up the dirt ou them and digging holes
by the side of them. If the money and
the labor that has been wasted on our
roads for the last twenty-five years had
been applied to the macadamizing of
them, we might have miles of good
pikes, where we have nothing but mud.
More anon by your permission.

The Turnpike Question.
The Lima Democrat eoudenses a few
thoughts on this subject as follows:
In Hardin county they have 157 miles
of pike, built at an average cost of f-,-500
per mile. The couuty levied one
half of the tax for the work, and the
other half was assessed along the line of
the road. The couuty levy was three
mills on the dollars valuation. The in
crease of farm property is estimated at
from 10 to 20 per cent.
Iu Union county they have 215 miles
of pike, of double and single track, built
at a total average cost, including inter
est, of 2,500 per mile. The estimated
increase of land per acre is $15, or three
times the cost of the improvement.
Logan county has 1G9 miles of pike
completed, with 35 miles under con
struction. The average cost is about
$2. 800 per mile, including interest. The
increase iu the price of land per acre is
estimated at from $3 to $10.
Clark couuty has but 50 miles of pike
built under the "free turukike laws,
the average cost of which has beeu
per mile.
a
At the meeting of the Farmers' Club
in Dayton, on Saturday, the testimony
of tho farmers and fruit-growers was to
the effect that, up to this time, the
peach buds were the only fruit which
has been injured by the heavy freezing
since the recent genial weather. Hut
was also asserted that quite enough buds
remain to insure an average crop of
peaches, unless they should yet be
nipped by frost. Other varieties of fruit
will be abundant, unless the buds 6hall
be destroyed by freezing between this
and the time they are transformed into
fruit.
at
The Toledo Blade, in noticing the
agitation for turnpike roads in North
western Ohio, takes occasion to say
"a narrow gauge railroad can be built
cheaper than a pike can, and will be
vastly more service." We very much
doubt the assertion made in the latter
clause.

HANCOCK COUNTY TEMPERANCE
ALLIANCE.
Tiie third quarterly convention of the
Hancock. County Temperance Alliance
met in the Court House February 19th,
at 10 1 2 o'clock, A. M.
The President not being present, Mrs.
S. A. Strother conducted the devotional
exercises and presided in the morning
session.
Mrs. Dr. Jnes was chst-u Secretary
pro tern.
The Treasurer, Mrs. H. P. Gage, made
her quarterly report, showing a balance
in the Treasury of 13 7.
The remaining portion of the morning
session was occupied in devotional exer
cises. On motion of Mrs. Gage, Rev. H.
Chance, of Fremont, was invited to ad
dress the Couventio-i at its afternoon
session. Mr. Chance being present ac
cepted the invitation, and the Conven
tion adjourned with the benediction.
The Convention re assembled at 1 12
o'clock. Mrs. JVhiteley.the President of
the Association, read the Scriptures and
conducted the devotional exercises.
One interesting feature of the after
noon session was the presence of about
fifty children, being part .of the organi
zation known as the Band of Hope.
They sang with great eflVct several pieces
of music.
Mr. Chance was then introduced, aud
spoke for over an hour on the present
phase of the temperance question. He
stated that Municipal State aud National
legislation had from the beginning of
our history protected the traffic; that
social, domestic aud ecclesiastical law
had contributed to make tippling re
spect tble iu the past, but that for twenty
Hve years piwt the Christian Chute!;, :u a
body, had beeu iu favor of total absti
nence. He had an array of facts and
figures that showed in a startling man
ner the fearful extent of drunkenness in
this couutry, aud yet in the face of all
the opposition there was a steady pro
gress in temperance sentiment. The en
tire address was full of point and humor
full of touching incidents and stirring
appeals. So sudden were his transitions
that smiles aud tears were strangely
commingled on the faces of his auditors.
On motion of Mrs. Strother, a vote of
thauks was tendered Mr. Chance for his
pleasing and instructive address.
Rev. II. D. Kutz then addressed the
Convention.
The evening session was one of real
interest. The Convention throughout
was more largely attended than any
previous meeting for the past year.
MRS. DR. JONES, Sec'y protem.
For the Jeffersonian.
.
Editors Jeffersoxiax: Your criti
cisms of my article published in your
paper of last week, seems to me very
unjust. If you did not pervert my lan
guage, you tried to give a meaning to it
entirely at variance with the whole
tenor of my argument. This proposi
tion to tax all for the benefit of a few,
is an aggressive measure. There must
be some motive of interest on the part
of the advocates of this measure, to in
duce them to engage in it. If so, they
are governed by some interested motive.
This is all that was affirmed in my for
mer article. I then spoke of another
class, who would advocate this measure
from self interest, makiug a broad dis
tinction between the different classes of
advocates. You say you do not belong
to either of these classes. This is a
gratuitous statement on your part. No
one had attempted, or cared, to assign
you a position with either. Your dis
claimer, then, was uncalled for. My
article was not intended to draw out the
private opiuiou of any oue, no matter
how talented, but the reasons which he
might be able to give in favor of this
aggressive measure.
You thiuk that some of my arguments
do not Hatter the intelligence of the
people. I am no editor, and do not re
sort to flattery. Facts are all that I care
to deal with. You say that my argu
ments are fallacious and on the wrong
hide. That opiniou may be a wise one,
but the ipse dixit of a wise man is a very
cheap argument. If you are in favor of
this measure, say so, aud give us your
reason. I believe, though, you have
said you are almost in favor of it. I
wish that you was wholly so, and could
then give us one reason for the faith
within you. Some anonymous writer
says, iu your last paper, that Findlay is
a couuty seat, and ergo, all the people
of the county ought to be taxed to build
macadamized roads to it. If this is good
logic, why should not all the people of
the State be taxed to build like roads to
Columbus, the capital of the State?
This writer says, in substance, that a
part of the heavy freight of Hancock
county, comes, or goes, to Findlay. I
will add that a much larger part goes to
other points. Mr. Miller, the reputed
father of the Hardin county stone roads,
says the cost per mile in that county is
$2,800, and they have facilities for
building such roads superior to almost
any county in the State. But here we
are told they will cost but 2,000 per
mile. Facts and theories do not always
make good bedfellows. Perhaps some
advocate of stone roads can explain this
to the satisfaction of a tax ridden people.

We are in receipt of a communication
from a gentleman whose friendship we
have al ways valued very highly, saying
to us that we must go slow on the ques
tion of pikes, or we will lose all our sub
scribers. Now, we must say in all kind
ness that we do not feel at all alarmed.
Good pikes will be the most payiDg in
vestment our people can make, aud hard
as the times are, we should all be willing
to invest money to good advantage. A
tax of two mills on the dollar might not
make our presei.t levy any higher, as our
Commissioners can retrench iu some
other direction. If any of our people
are afraid they would not get the money
to expeud in their own townships, let
the law be amended to that effect. But
we believe that, if our friend will consid
er the matter carefully, he will oome to
the conclusion that it will not pay to be
without good roads, when they can be
built on such easy terms. Perhaps our
friend lives on a sand ridge, and don't
need a road as bad as some of his neigh
bors. StilLthe enhancement in value of
all real estate, should good roads be
made, will repay our friend for all it will
cost him. When we see our duty so
plainly, we should be guilty of great
cowardice, if we refused to do it, through
fear of a loss of patronage. In any case,
loss or gain, we shall endeavor to retain
our self-respect.

Rational Medication.
Medication is only successful when it is
rational, and it is rational only when it be
gins at the beginning. In other words, to
cure malady, its cause must he removed.
Weakness, either general or local, is the or
igin of the great majority of diseases. Re
inforce the vital energies, regulate digestion
and secretion, by strengthening the organs
which perform those all-important func
tions, and dyspepsia, constipation, kidneys
and bladder complaints, uterine tlilnculties,
impure circulation, and the thousand anil
one ailments which are the consequences of
d.-hility, are completely, and in most cases
ermanen)ly, removed. The best, safest
and most agreeable tonic and alterative that
can be employed for this purpose is Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters. The experience
of twenty-five years, during which time it
has outlived perhaps ten times that number
of ephemeral preparations which have en
tered into competition with it, has proved
it to be uneqiialed as a remedy for all disor
ders accomplished by or proceeding from
weakness.

Probably there is no question that liothers
men more frequently these hard times than
the one at the head of this article." Times
are indeed very hard, and there seems to be
little prospect ot them letting up very soon.
Men who are in debt feel this keenly. A
maturing mortgage means to many almost
the loss of all they have, and yet, while this
is true, there are thousands of men who have
saved up money and are now ready to buy.
These men would gladly relieve you from
debt by taking your farm, land, mill or store,
and paying you in cash what you have in it,
and assume the balance due. To rind these
men is the trouble. Now there has long ex
isted an association which makes a special
business of hunting up customers to buy
property. This association is called the Na
tional Exchange Bureau, and is prepared to
sell or exchange property on its basis of ac
tual value anywhere in the United States,
and to get for a man just what he wants in
exchange for what he does not want. All
property placed in the ..National .xchaugc
Bureau will he advertised free of cliarge.un
less a sale or trade on terms as gxd as you
contract can be made during the time it is to
be in. All business is done strictly on com
mission. If you want to make any change
in your business or propcrty.or want to rent
or sell, address, with a full statement of
what you wanLJNational i.xi Iinnire liiireaii,
