For Sale—Gasoline engine. Enquire of J. S. Lower or C. D. Kunkle secretary fair association. 35tf The Washington township district district No. 1 school closed last Friday and about thirty five pupils surprised their teacher, Mr. Edward Kintz, with a fine dinner. An enjoyable time was reported. An old negro was taken ill and called in a physician of his race to prescribe for him. But the old man did not seem to get better, and finally a white doctor was summoned. Soon after arriving the latter felt the darkey’s pulse for a moment and then examined his tongue. “Did the doctor take your temperature ?” “I don’t know’, sab.” the patient answered feebly, “I hain’t missed anything but mah watch.” An Irishman at Fort Wayne, was called upon to give evidence in a shooting affray. “Did you see the shot fired?” asked the judge. “No, sor: but I heard it,” replied the witness. “That is not satisfactory; sit down.” As the Irishman turned to go he laughed and was rebuked by the magistrate, wno told him it was contempt of court. “Did yez se me laugh?” “No; but I heard you?” “That is not satisfactory.” And then the court laughed. The following persons enjoyed an old fashioned country dinner yesterday with Mr. and Mrs. Philip Baker of rural route four. Mr. and Mrs’ Emerson Elzey, Misses Grace Reed, Stella Mallonee, Emma Conrad, May Webber, Tina Sehurger, Gertrude Kintz, Clara Kintz, Della Warmouth, Iva Warmouth, and Messrs. Andy Sehurger.

Postmaster Brittson informs us that someone, possibly boys or children, have been tampering with the post office boxes on Sunday when employes are not in. The laws are very strict on the matter, and w’hile no trouble will possibly be caused by government officials, unless the practice is stopped the post office will be closed. The allowing of the front door to remain open is a great convenience for business men and it is hoped that the youngsters will not continue their tricks and thus cause any new rule in the matter. The Daughters of Rebecca lodge are arranging for a home talent production, to be given at Bosse’s opera house April 25. On that date they will present “A Southern Gentleman,” a romantic comedy drama.

A deal has been closed whereby E T Sommer of Flushing, Michigan, becomes the owner of the five and ten cent store of Noah Loch and George Tester. The new owner who takes possession in ten days is said to be an old hand at the business and will add several new lines to those already in stock. The deal was made through the Hal! & Fulk agency and was made public this morning. Mr. Sommer comes well recommended as a business man and will no doubt do well with the new purchase. Wm. D. Dimm, a mail railway elcrk who has traveled on the Erie railroad for many years, - was arrested at Salamonia, Monday as he stepped off of train No. 8. He had beep, suspected of robbing the mails for a long time but decoy letters failed to catch him until a letter containing four one dollar bills and a Canadian quarter was placed in the mail. The inspecor followed Dimm to a grocery store, where he was arrested. The Canadian quarter was found and afterward the four bills were recovered from where he had hurriedly hid them in a basket of apples at the store. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelhia, as follows: “I was in an awful condition* My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides,no appe ite, growing w’eaker day by day. Three phviscians had given me up. Then I was advised to try Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know’ they robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed at Blackburn & Christen durg store.

Elizabeth Marks was born in Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania Nov. 4, 1834, died April 5, 1304 aged 69 years, 4 months and 29 days. At the age of seventeen she removed to Richland Co., Ohio where on the seventeenth of February 1853 she was married to Wm. Baughman, with whom for fifty one years she shared the sunshine and the shadows of this earthly career. In 1868 she with her husband and family came to Adams Co. where she has resided ever since. W hen she came to Adams Co., the family located at Salem where they remained for twenty three years, the remaining thirteen years having been spent in Decatur. At the early age of eighteen Mrs. Baughman united with the Presbyterian church but her membership was afterwards transferred to the M. E. Church where it remained until the time of her death. She leaves to mourn her departure a kind and affectionate husband, five children and one sister Mrs- J B Blotz. The children are as follows: William q. Baughman of Kenton Ohio., Mrs. Rena Tague residing near Monroe, Ind., Miss Mary Baughman of Ft. Wayne, Ind., Mrs G R Douglas of Chicago, 111., Mrs, L.E. Weaver of Decatur.

She also leaves to mourn her death eight grand chil dren of whom she was both proud and thoughtful . During her life her utmost thought was regarding the comfort of those around her.

Good spirits don’t all come from Kentucky. Their main source is the liver —and all the fine spirits ever made in the Blue Glass State could not remedy a bad liver or the hundred-and-one ill effects it produces. You can’t have good spirits and a bad liver at the same time. Your liver must be in fine condition if you would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful, bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and successful in your pursuits. You can put your liver in fine condition by using Green’s August Flower —the greatest of all medicines for the liver and stomach and a certain cure for dyspepsia or indigestion. It has been a favorite household remedy for over thirty-five years. August Flower will make your liver healty and active and thus insure vou a liberal supply of “good spirits.” Trial size 25c; regular bottles 75c. At all druggists.

THE GREAT SOUTHWEST. MANY SEEKING HOMES WHERE LANDS ARE CHEAP AND CLIMATE IS MILD. Low Rates for Homeseekers' and Colonists Twice a Month. Many farmers in the Northern and Eastern states are selling their high priced landsand locating in the Southwest —in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Manv who have been unable to own their homes in the older country are buying land at the low prices prevailing in the new country $5, $lO, sls per acre and up. These lands are mostly cut over timber lands, some of them possessing a deep rich soil producing corn, wheat, oats, clover, cotton, fruit and vegetables. Well improved farms are scattered throughout this country. Many places with small clearings and some improvements can be bought very cheap. Our descriptive literature gives a fairly good idea of this country. It tells about the soil, crops, climate, people, schools, churches, water and health. It contains maps showing locations of counties, towns, railways and streams, and gives names and addresses of real estate dealers in the towns. Reduced rates for homeseekers and colonists are in effect first and third Tuesdays of each month, byway of St. Louis, Cairo or Memphis and the Cotton Belt Route. Let us send you our literature and quote you rates. Address E. W. Laßeaume, Gen. Pass, and Ticket Agent, Cotton Belt Route, St. Louis, Mo.
