The campaign in Jay county is said to be waging warm, with every possible indication pointing towards the election of the democratic ticket.

The Lalies’ Historical Club met last Tuesday evening with Mrs. Crabbs, at her home on south Third street. The meeting was interesting and entertaining, the subject being on the history of the Spanish. The Chatauqua section of the Ladies’ Shakspeare Club held their regular weekly meeting with Mrs. Harry Moltz on Fifth street Tuesday afternoon. Quite a number were present and the meeting was a splendid one. The trial of Charley Cadwallader for wrecking the Citizens Bank at Union City, will come up for trial at Winchester November 22.

Miss Nettie is engaged as clerk in a large dry goods store and this was her first visit home for more than six years. There must have been a million tramps in this city during the past week. At any rate every time a person took a walk down street for a square, he was accosted by a half dozen ugly, stout looking tourists who either wanted to sell a brass ring for seventy five cents or else beg a nickle to get a loaf of bread. One in particular visited this office three times in as many hours. Huntington’s stone pile scheme is the best remedy we know of. The following directions for dying are taken from the High School Journal of last Friday and are not only quite true, but several of the directions are followed much more than they should be: “Keep late hours; smoke cigarettes; join a thirteen club; wear thin-soled shoes; get excited about politics; worry about little things; work hard eighteen hours a day; use coal oil for kindling wood; touch a live wire to see if it is hot; go south for your health, and call a southern man a liar.” The Sure LaGrippe Cure.

Three Doctors in Consultation. “When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the first place; what experience tells you is best, to be chosen in the second place; what reason (i.e., Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Experience and Dr. Reason to hold a consultation together, they will give you the best advice that can be taken.” From Benjamin Franklin. When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclination would recommend Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Experience would reccommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it because it is prepared on scientific principles, and acts on nature s plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition.

Os course, the busines itself must be an enormous one to justfy so great an expenditure in publicity. There is no fallacy more dangerous than that success can be gained by advertising an article of indifferent merit. But, given an article of the highest quality like Royal Baking Powder, which when the housekeeper has once used she finds if she desires the best food she cannot do without, then the greatest measure of success is attained by keeping it continuously before the public. Great merit and good advertising are both essential to make a product a great success. The Royal Baking Powder possessing the first, its proprietors have wisely used the second, and the result is apparent throughout the land. The Royal company believe that there is no medium for advertising like the nespapers, since in these enlighted days every body reads them. There is laughter for the laughable, music for the musical and much to commend and patronize in the performance of “A Breezy Time.”
