Riggs has the exclusive right to sell the Whitney Patent Chum in Adams county. Oss. Lyons returned home on Saturday. Al. concluded to stay a few weeks longer.

Au enjoyable time could have been had at the Ceylon picnic last Saturday had it not been for a little too much alcohol. J. C. Hale and lady returned on Saturday from the golden wedding of his father and mother at Bellebrook, Ohio. He reports the corn crop excellent. Steps are being taken to organize a vocal glee club for the benefit of the Hancock and English club of Wabash township. Week before last a list of about fifty names w>s sent in for the Indianapolis State Sentinel All we have seen who have received their paper pronounce it far superior to the Cin iunati Enquirer for solid Democratic doctrine. N. P. Heaston, G W Riley, and I. Hook attended the convention at Portland last Saturday. They report a large and enthusiastic convention and that the Democrats are confident of a grand victory in the fall. Gen. J.R.

Hale took in three car loads for which he paid 90 cents per bushel. Our brass band has reorganized and employed P. V. B. Smith, of Peru, as teacher. Mrs. Roll is visiting friends and relatives at Hamden this week. After the excursionists returned from Rome City, Saturday evening, four or five young fellows who reside near Nottingham, Wells county, having imbibed a little too much corn juice thought to exhibit a little of their muscle before leaving town and the consequence was that a couple of them came to the conclusion that to be hit by a Geneva pugilist was equal to being kicked by a mule. As we were passing Alex Robinson s place of business, Thursday morning, our attention was called within by hearing some melodious strains of music, and on stepping io we saw that it was Alex singing “Sweet Prospects,” etc., to a crowded house, all smoking to the success of Winfield Scott Hancock English Robinson, the same being recorded in the family bible as the son of Alex and Alice Robinson, born July 29, 1880, weight ten pounds and a solid Hancocker. A horrible tragedy occurred near West Liberty, Jay county, last. Sunday, the particulars of which are reported as follows: A lad about 14 years of age, son of Jas. : Dudley, and a little child of Jos. Tucker, : about t> years of age, were in an orchard , playing when a dispute arose over an ap ! pie and young Dudley drew a revolver and I shot the little fellow through the head, | killing him almost instantly. The little I fellow threw up his hand on the opposite side of his head aad the ball passed through and filled his baud with brains. Our accommodating railroad agent, Ira Lehmer, has been granted f. short respite during which time he will take a trip through Michigan, visit Chicago and probably New York. A. B. Williams, of Portland. will assume the duties of the office during Ira's absence. Resolutions of Condolence. Hall St. Marys Lodge, 1.0. <).

O—NIBLICK, CRAWFORD & SONS Having tried the credit system long enough to test its impracticability, have concluded to take a new tack, and. instead of having to put their goods ata price high enough to make up for bad debts, they are now determined to give their patrons the benefit of the MONEY SAVED BY THE "READY PAY SYSTEM," in the reduced prices they are thus enabled to afford their customers. Ie this way they can “LIVE AXI) LET LIVE!” It ie true, Justices and Constables may object, as it interferes with a business which to them, has proven quite a lucrative one. But under the new order of ihings, our friends will find goods at the store in the Adams County Bank Block so much lower than formerly, that they Will Astonistied! at the change which ready pay has wrought. It is folly to say much about it in our advertisement, as far as particularizing is concerned. The truth in this respect can only be satisfactorily learned BY A VISIT TO THE STORE!
