No theoretical engagement are being pulled off this week at Stone’s opera house, thus making the amusement markets somewhat dull. R. B Allison swore off smoking on New Year’s day.

Price of Dennison, Ohio, is conducting revival services at the Presbyterian church this week. The meetings are becoming quite interesting and are attended by a large audience each evening. A sleighing party consisting of Misses Nora Brandyberry, Dora Wakefield, Minnie Barkley, Blanche Pillars, Minnie Gyer, Clara Cook and Messrs William Walters, Frank Johnson, Louis Noyer, Smith Nelson, Will Waterman, and Joe Barkley, all of Monroeville, were entertained last evening by Miss Clara Rittenhouse assisted by Allen B.

Good roads, lots of business on confidence makes every body smile. J. W. Meibers, an old Decatur boy, who is in the barber business at Mason, Ohio, spent a few days this week with his parents in this city. Henry and Chris Meyers under the firm name of J. H. Mayers & Bro., have purchased the merchant tailoring department of Kern, Brittson & Beeler, and will be pleased to see all their friends at their rooms above Kern, Brittson & Beeler’s clothing store. The piece goods have been reserved by the clothing firm and will be disposed of at cost. Meyers & Bro. will do their work which in itself guarantees that the work will be satisfactory. 112dtf43wtf Are you one of the number that was cheated? If you are, why do you continue it? J. Thos. W. Luckey helped up hundreds, why not you? lie sells goods at no higher prices and many times at much lower prices than any other firstclass store, and if you deliver your own purchases he gives yon 5 per cent discount, (i e) buy 20 cents worth, pay him 19 cents and deliver the parcel yourself. Here is a chance for the farmers, who are forced to help keep up the enormous expense of tree delivery, but share none of the benefits. And the city school boy can make many a dime too by going to Luckey’s when you are sent down town for goods. Remember the place and also that regular prices will be charged when goods are wanted delivered. 42tf You will notice a clipping elsewhere from the Auburn Gazette, which tells of the establishing of dressmaking schools and the inducing of pupils to pay sls fora certain number of lessons under the additional promise of a position. A personal letter from Auburn informs us that the whole thing is a fake and the people who are managing same are the worst lot of beats on record. It is understood that they are working this territory and 4> cr ’ haps this city: Be wise for once and Show them the pleasing countenance of the bull dog, when they appear with their tale of woe. Times are hard enough, without having to go up against that kind of a shell game. If all is true that is said about them, they should be allowed about fifteen minutes to pack their Saratogas and depart. Keep your weather eye open.
