Mr. Wm. Westlake, a prominent farmer and breeder of thorough bred horses, living near Avoca.Neb., was so badly injured by being thrown from his sulky, as to be unable to raise his hand to his head. After using numerous liniments and consulting several physicians without getting any relief, he asked me is I knew of anything that would help him. I recommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which he used, and within two weeks he had entirely recovered the use of his arm. I consider Chamberlain's Pain Balm the greatest preparation ever produced for sprains, bruises, deep-seated and muscular pains, burns and scalds.—J- J.

The bereft husband has the sympathy of all their ac qnaintances That personage so familiarly known as the "Rambler" spent two lays in this place last week on a combined business and pleasure trip. While this gentlemau performs the duties involved upon him to the greatest satisfaction of his employer, he seems co enj »y himself where ever he chances to be. Eeven if alone, he may be heard at a distance using his vocal organs to their fullest capacity in tact our acquaintance with him has never known this gift of speech to cease. Such is his general make up that he possesses qualifications that constitute a fair subject for some one that is wasting brains endeavoring to fathom the unsolved question of perpetual motion all that is necessary in this case would be to effect some means of perpetuating his life which would set at naught all future efforts however, we will say that the "Rambler" has numerous frien-lsand many who greet his coming with delight, and feel it a pleasure to be iu his society. He is a man that exercises his every talent in support of the interest of those for whom he is laboring and at the same time acting courteously and respectfully toward all from whom support may be gathered One of the societies here of a religious nature has of late frequently been disturbed by outsiders they are known and the matter will be looked after should it occur hereafter.

In a recent conversati 'i with Washington Slifer, he said that he was decidedly in favor of having the county printing let by bids in the place of the old corrupt way of giving it to a favonte of the Commissioners at an extravagent price. Air. S. voiced the sentiments of every sensible man iu the county.

At Maxwell Jesse O'Neal is chief salesman at Brants store. I knew Jesse in Rush county aud Know him to be honest and industrious. •T. F. Gant is post master and reports a good trade in mercantile business.

Mellis Jackson has a nicely stocked store of all things requisite for supplying the people with staple and fancy goods. There has not been a day but his trade has increased from the start. I am pleased to know of this fact as he is a clever gentleman and fully entitled to the full confidence and patronage of the people, He is a good business man aud possesses that affability so much admired in a merchant.

D. M. Moroney has a fine stock of drugs, medicines, paints and oils, and is building up an excellent trade. Dan is a genial whole souled young man and will surely build up a splendid business at that point.

H. C. Clark has the neatest little blacksmith shop in the county. He is a splendid mechanic, manufactures all his tools,

I every one of which exhibit an exceptional skill. He will soon build a large shop ou the site adjoining his present one.

B'.izan Purdue can minister to the duties of the Justice Jarrett score with dignity and tiie people line tu trade with him.

A. H. Barrett said he thought, some of coming out as a candidate on the Peoples ticket, but if they reject him he will espouse the cause of Protection.

Miss Dora West is working at dress making with Miss Barr at Greenfield, so Daniel Custer informed me.

Although the weather was rough and wet, A. C. Hiday was taking it .good humoredly, feeling confident of a seed lime aud harvest, Mr. H. is an old soldier and served his country a long time in that capacity He tells with interest his experiences in battle, and posesses much regard for his old comrades in war. Like bis brothers he is of a kind hospitable nature and he and liis nice wife make guest feel at ease while under their roof.

When the Sentinel gave prizes for the closest guess on the population of the State per the last census, A. C. Pilkenton wrote 2,172,404, the exact number but failing to subscribe for the Sentinel, his guess was void and he did not get the $100. Like the "sour grapes" he said it uas worth more than that, amount to be compelled to read the paper a year. As was auuouuced by our correspondent, 11. It. Olvey of Fortville secured the $700 piano for guessing closest to the population of "Uncle Sam."

Springer Bros, can now put ou city airs in their nice store, they have almost double the room they formerly had and have it filled with all the good things of the land for both weariug aud eating. Springer Bros. Furnishing House has become famiiliar to every one in that sec tio:i and is synonymous with financial ability and business aptitude. The proprietors are lnrge contributors to the general prosperity so uniformly apj.ii ent through out that locaiit.v. That they and their store ara fully appreciated it is but ntecessary to point to the high esteem iu which they are held by the public in general. They are one of the best illustrations of the fact that care and regard for the interest of others is the surest avenue to success, also that energy pluck and honesty will always uiu. The hundreds of useful articles on their cheap notion counter that can be bought almost for a song is a great feature iu their store, When iu this store, price their carpets aud if you need one you will buy, ditto all other things in stock.

I was sorry to learn that Fortville is soon to lose Chas and Will Springer of the planing mill, all good citizens are also loth to have them go, as they are among the very best citizeus of the town. They will go to Dayton, Ohio, where they have established a large saw and planing mill.

A, C. Pilkenton is selling tip top bicycles lower than they were ever sold in this county. Any one needing a good wheel should buy one of Pilkenton, and save some inonev. ,T. D. Jenkins of the "Snn" was compelled to issue a supplement to accommodate his advertisers. Mr. Jenkins is now making the neatest paper that has ever been iu Fortville.

W. Claytor is perhaps the largest advertiser iu that section, which is a sure perenrsor of the fact that he knows he has the goods and prices to suit the people. You dont find a man investing in printers ink for fun, but it is the best evidence that he means bnsiness every time, and has full confidence in his ability to please.

W. R. Rash is now sole proprietor of the Rash & Lefeber store. Mr, It. has been before the people as a merchant for years, and has established a fine store and a good trade. He carries a full stock of dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes at. extremely low prices. He is assisted by his brother, Thos. Rash.

Haskell & Cook Bros. Mammoth hardware and implement store was a scene of confusion incident to the transacting of one of the largest implement, vehicle, machines and hardware trade in this part of the county. They have sold two car loads of fence wire this spring and more following. This is an evidence of the thrift of the farmers of that locality who are fast doing away with the old worm fence, and replacing them with substantial picket and wire fences. See their locals in this paper.

Tom Gardner said he was doing nicely in the fruit tree business. Tom is an honest fellow and people run no risk in buying of him, you will get exactly what you order and prices away down.

J.W. Hudson had put an elegant jewelry case in his store. He is doing nicely at the business. He is an expert watch aud clock repairer. All work guaranteed.

At Pendleton the contract had just been let for a fine new Masonic Block to be three stories high. She is a hustling town and getting there nicely. They have some of the best people in this part of the State.

There would be a great void in the town with out the smiling face of Dr.

Cook

darting about his business with a aernal nod and smile for all he meets. I had the pleasure of grasping his honest paw and receiving his word of good cheer.

L, M. Jordan reported frade with him this spring as A No 1. Ho has a large nicely fitted store of all things pertaining to the hardware trade, a heavy and well selected stock of builders supplies, and general hardware is carried. Mr. Jordan is a man of excellent business ability unmistakable integrity and enterprise, and fully deserves the large measure of public favor and pntronage he enjoys. You will see a neat ad of his in this issue.

The always reliable and honorable firm of Rogers & Thomas, never have other than a good business. They are young men of good business capacity, thoroughly practical, and no customers leave their store who do not speak well of them, In the almost three years that I have known them they have always been the same jolly fellows. It is a pleasure to point out to our readers a house which from the day of its inception has maintained the

highest standard of excellence in trade. They make a speciality of ladies and gents footwear and give you your moneys worth every time

Benj Rogers, father of (ho above firm showed me a photograph ot an orange tree thai stands their grov in Florida which bore (1000 oranges last year. He avid Mr. Thomas has 10 aces of all kinds of fruit trees many of them hearing.

I much pleased to notice the enterprise of the ^oung Mrutrgist, M. B. Cravens. Ile has ad*ied a liao new Soda fount, to his establishment, which will be largely p/.troinz vl during the heated summer term. He is constantly adding new goods, jind by pluck, energy aud an everlasting determination to get there, iie is sure to succeed. Tiie New Enterprise is next duor to Mannon's restaurant. If you are in need of anything iu the drug or notion line, you will do well to visit the New Enterprise.

Lewis Bros, druggists are enterprising men, and readers of the REPUBLICAN now. They have a large drug store, well stocked with all things applicable to their trade. One of the firm has been a practicing physician for years and understands the business thoroughly They are well known h11 o\ er their locality, from the fact that they are grtat advertisers. I can conscientiously iecommeud this firm to all people who have not dealt with them, to their regular customers they need no recommend.

G. W. Sturm is the hustling vehiole and implement dealer. It will pay you well to investigate his goods and prices if you are needing any kind of farm implements or machinery, a buggy, carriage, surrey, cart or farm wagon. See his ad in this issue, read it, go aud see him, consult his prices and you will buy his goods.

I uever was in Pendleton but Keesling was loading furniturt. Low prices and an indomitable determination to s611 goods, sells e'm. The sale room is elegantly fitted up and tastefully arranged while a great variety of furniture is carried. embracing plain and artistic goods of all designs, parlor and chamber sets, dinning room aud kitchen furniture a complete variety of house furnishing goods, and the leading makes of sewing machines. Mr. Keesling is also one of the most,experienced and competent undertaker*and mib-diners in this part of the country. He einp ovs the best and most improved processes and is an expert iu his liue. I know of no one better adopted to his business than he whose uatne forms the caption of this sketch.

In appreciation of the kindness of Mrs. Fannie Ireland, depot agent and telegraph operator at Pendleton, the stock shippers presented her with a fine $10.00 office chair. The men who participated in this deed of appreciation, were John Starr, Pendleton, T. Ii. Mauzy, Emporia, J. F. Mauzy, Allie Lewis, Vic Cooper Markleville, B. F. Aimen, Pendleton and Jacob Fatic, Meclianicsburg. A jollier or more clever set of stockmen cannot be found iu this country. It is needless to say that the chair was purchased of Keesling, they are regular patrous of his. Most of them Hre also patrons of this paper. L. E. Ireland and wife have beeu the manager at the depot for several months and they are highly appreciated by th° traveling public, and shippers.

D. G. Barrett showed me the plans of a $2,500 house which he intends building in Pendleton. It will be one of the finest in town. Mr. B. will move to town and retire from the farm.

Moudy & Nebright were recarpeting their barker shop. They are enjoying au excellent business. Their trade hasj^rrospered and increased until they have the largest barber trade in the city. They are artists in their line in every sense of the word. Of course the people desire to look as respectable as possible and under those circumstances they could not find a more genteel place to get their tonsorial work done.

W. T. Mannon has an elegant gong on his delivery wagon that resounds through the streets, and makes music for the citizens as it pursues its regular rounds delivering good goods to all parts of the city at low prices. Mr. Mannon has one of the nicest restaurants uud best lunch counters that 1 have ever visited,

Our patrons, J. R. Silver & Son and Todd & Co. are doing a, splendid business in their line. J. W. Taylor is one of the most kind hearted of men aud I always like to meet him, ditto Mi1. Silver. They are among the best business men in this country. RAMBLER.
