The editor of the Journal accuses us of stealing out local Salt River ticket from the Bluffton ticket We plead guilty. However, we thought at the time that we followed the example ot the ed tor of the great religious weekly, when he said that we had <wo Democratic ex-Presidents— Grover Cleveland and Jeff Davis. He stole that trom the St. Louis Republican, and we simply followed his example. If . it was wrong he must repent first, for we Certainly had reason to believe that so good a man as the editor of a religious ■■ paper would not lead us astray. E. G.

Try some of Schneider's ge'nuine German liverwurst, at the Pork Heuse Rev. Allen and wife are happy —a fine boy at their house is the cause. J. D. Edwards, the electric light man, rejoices They have a girl baby at their house. Parties wishing lard cans filled will do well to call at the Pork House and learn prices, We heard of D.ck Hartford b.-ing in the city on Tuesday last, but failed to see him. Mrs. Elizabeth Brady returned from Pittsburg, Pa. She was accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Flo Uptegraf, of Pitts burg. Piemiture baldneis may be prevented and the hair made to grow on heads already bald, by the use ot Hall’s Vcge table Sicilian Hair Renewer.

We heard of a candidate for deputy pro ecu'or taking undue advantage ot his class by going out to the crossing of the G R & 1. and C. At E. roads, in order to have the first say with Dick Hartford who was expected from Po.tland about that time. From reports it must have been mutual Many people suffer for years from troublesome and repulsive sores, boi.s, and eruotions, without ever testing the marvelous turative properties of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. The experiment is certainty worth trying. Be sure you get Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and no other. The smallest ‘ cat bull” is large enough to show that the blood needs purifying—a warning which, it ufiheeded, may result, not in more boils, but in something very much worse. Avert the danger in time by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Cured others will cure you, Pete Schneider is now ready to wait on nis many customers who may want anything in his line. He will always have a.full supply ot pork, smoked meats, dried beef, pickled pork, pickled longue, bologna, sausage, Wienerwurst, lard, &c. Call and see him in his new and com modious room in the B Block, on Monroe street, opp Bower’s hardware store.
