I have been troubled with chronic sore eyes for forty-five years, and during

+bat

time I have used many different remedies but have never found any that seemed to do me any good, until I procured a box of Chamberlain's Eyeand Skin Ointment. I have used only about one-third of the box, and can truthfully say, I have never had my eyes feel so well, nor look as well as they do now. I expect to cure them entirely with the Ointment.

NOBLE.

At Cleveland the other morning I met Abel Bennett. He and his wife were visiting I. Muuden and wife. Mrs. Bennett is a daughter of Mr. Muuden. I spent a few minute very profitable in conversation with Mr. Bennett. lie said he had heard considerable complaint from men, that it was impossible to make a living on the farm, but that it mostly came from men who would not likely make money at any thing else. He was left an orphan boy when quite young and was compelled to work out his own salvation, which he has done and accomplished something. He uow owns over 200 acres of fine laud all paid for, and nice bauk count besides, Mr. Bennett said that wimtever a man worked at "he must stick to ins tree," and not be too easily discouraged, then change to somthing else. "A roiling stone gathers no moss." Mr. Bennett is one of the best citizens in his community and one worthy ot the respect of every one.

T. E. Theobald the new merchant at Cliarlottsville reported a lively trade. He sells lime, which fact will be highly pleasing to the cleanly house wives in his community, lie also sells fresh bread which is another feature the people will take advantage of. Mr. T. is determined to pie ise the people ol Charlottesvill and give them the best good-* at the lowest possible figures. His store is the Griffith stand.

At New Palestine Mrs. II, C. Nichols gave me some fine mineral specimens which I am pleasnd to add to my limited museum of specimens. They came from Carl Junction Mo.

Young Henry srihrn tends shop for his father at the meat market. The luxury of a clean meat market, should be highly appreciated and liberally patronized by the citizens which tins one no doubt is.

Will Parish attends strictly to business at the drug stcra of T. G. Short. They are running a well equipped drug, notion and hardware store, which is reliable in every particular, Goods, Proprietor and Salesman.

E-iton & Espey were having more customers than they could accommodate. This firm is one of the best illustrations to which I can point, as to what can be accomplished by going ahead and accomplishing it. Their trade extends in all directions and includes many of the most fastidions people in the county whom they never fail to please. They keep their cash right in their business and do not fear to let go of a dollar if it is for its improvement. Too many men skin along the edge by not applying the force, cash of course included, where it should be

applied. Men may come and men may go, trades may rise and trades may fall, but you will find Eaton & Espey on the corner with always some bargains to give their patrons, bear this in miud.

Geo. Richman of Blue Mound, 111. will recieve the REPUBLICAN each week. B. Schildmier is selling large quantities of machinery and implements, see his big ad in this paper. See the advantages the Wood's Binder possesses over others and buy one of them if you need it. you will make no mistake.

W. E. Bussell the courteous agent at New Palestine depot has the nicest and tidiest offices in this part of the state. Mr. Bussell is well liked as an agent and is spoken of in quite a complimentary manner by the patrons of the oilice.

Gold Dust fiour has the lead among the first-class house wives and bread bakers of New Palestine and the surrounding country. It is made from the best of grain by the latest and most improved machinery. James Sylvester, miller knows his business and he knows good flour when he sees it, which is every time he looks into the mills flour chest. He makes none but the best and when that is said it is all said. Men if your wives hare been angry because the bread was no good and your digestion bad from the same cause, making your domestic relations intolerable the best and quickest remedy in the world is Gold Dust, which Eaton & Fralichas fiour is appropriately named. Try it aud you will always buy it, so users say, they will take no other, there is no way but a proper way of doing a thing and the making of flour and meal is one of the most important in the whole vocabulary. The best of ingredients and the most skillful work result, in Gold Dust Hour. Go to the New Palestine flouring mills for it. I and you will go agaiu.

At Philadelphia Isaac Duboir paid for his R]•_P LI Ax and said lliat he liked it first rate.

Mr. Werbe informed ne that he had nearly 200 little chicks. He has an incu bator of his own make that is now set with 280 eggs. It works nicely.

Mrs. Sarah Powell aud daughter Of Middletown, Ind., wee visiting her sister Mrs. Benj. Elliott at Philadelphia. Mrs. Powell is also a sister of Mrs. Jerome Black of Greenfield.

Levi McCormack was having his fence machine and a specimen of his fence photographed. IJe has a good machine and makes splendid fence.

The Gem store is having a good business. Win. Andis the proprietor sells goods at remarkably low prices. See his ad in another column.

Our patron Atidrew Sebastian has a new bicycle, there are also five ether bicycles in Gem To watch the willowy and graceful movements of Chris Fink as he glides along on his wheel, is calculated to cause the heart of rlie tender females who look on admiringly 10 polp with admiiation as lie passes by. He rode up in front or tin Gem store while I was there dismounted wiped his brow and jerked out his watch hurriedly to catch the time and stated that he desired to beat all previous records to Cumberland a distance of 4 miles. After balancing and poising himself gracefully he started some minutes after I followed and about 40 rods from Gem overtook him fiouuderingiu the road. He vainly endeavored to induce the wheel to proceed on its journey. I looked bacK and the wheel seemed to be on top and still master of the situation, I figured it upon my shoe sole that it would take 44 days to make the journey if something didn't break.

Miss Clara Stutsmau is now mail carrier at Gem. I learned that the pros--acts were good for a wedding at Gem soon, let it be so. The more new fam'lies the larger the circulation of the REPUBLICAN.

The Cumberland creamery is now receiving from 6,100 to 0,200 pounds of milk per day. Fred Hilkins is a successful butter maker, his butter demands the highest price.

I had a few minutes conversation with our correspondent, she had just returned from a pleasant visit among some of her Greenfield friends.

The tidy store of J. S. McConnell was decorated with a flue awning which added much to the appearance of the same. Mr. McConnell has one of the nicest country storey in my route. A gcueral appear ance ol! titiiness pervaded the premises. He sells his goods Ion- down and has an immense trade. Mrs. McConnell paid for the RE UBLICAX and also sent sent it to her brother K. Foley train dispatcher at Richmond, we highly appreciate all our friends and we feel that we can count on Mr. and Mrs. McConnell as among them.

I was informed that Fred Wiese and wife are now the happy parents of a little boy.

I gladly took the opportunity of staying all night at the pleasaut and hospitable home of Milton Harvey. Mr. Harvey is another good friend of the REPUBLICAN. His home is made more pleasant by the presence of four handsome grown daughters. They are amiable and pretty and should they consent to do so they would make happy the hearts of the above Dumber of love smitten youths. If they would only consent to love cherish and obey the latter is and has always been a bar to many happy marriages and should be stricken from the constitution. For the woman that dout.jfulfil it any way. Miss Katie Harvey is a member of the Alt Comfort graduating class of Mr. Hurleys school aud will no doubt secure the valedictory at the graduating exercises. She is a bright girl. The ladies are fine singers, and Miss Maggie being a good organist we saug songs of praise until the hour was late. Mr. H. is a careful systematic farmer and one of our most esteemed patrons. The pleasure of being a welcome guest at this happy home will form an oasis in my life for many years to come.

My attention was attracted to the beautiful and well kept farm of Chas. Swartz. His fences are in good repair, his buildings handsome and in good order, fence corners clean and grown with grass, his barn yard devoid of plunder, his fields minus the usual unused machinery and implements except those in immediate use and I looked carefully for the usual exposed self binder but failed to discover it. After one had traveled over many portions of my circuit they would doubt some what the above asertion concerning the farm machineiy, but it is the truth.

The residents along the Harvey road leading to Mt, Comfort had joined their forces and graveled it. The road is now one of the best in the county, would that the residents in other localities would become inspiied with the same spirit.

I met J. W. Ogle at his home on the corner of the above road, he was decorating his farm with some slat fence He has a nice farm, is a nice man and reads this paper.

Chas. Wills consented to have me send him the REPUBLICAN for a season, like our great army of subscribers he will become a friend to the paper as he reads it.

M. O. Snyder has one of the nicest homes on this road, I was thankful to him for a kind invitation to dine with him at noon aud will consider it a standing invitation and will accept at my next visit in that locality. Mr. S. said he would give the ground and $100 for a gas well iu his loJ cality.

Mr. Wliitaker has been duly installed as store keeper in the room formerly occupitd by Pogue & Wright. Mr W. is one of our most successful teachers, and I wish him as good success in his new venture as he had teaching

The widow Wilson of near Mt. Comfort had two good cows killed by the cars. She is a poor widow and can ill afford to sustain so great a loss.

Ammie Taylor of the tile mill had put in a new boiler and engine. He is maklarge quantities or tile. The clay he uses has a peculiar consistency that renders it especially adopted to the making of tile.

J. B. Eastes son-in-law, Dr. J. L. Cummins is erecting a new house in Comfort. Chas. Eastes is chief clerk at Dillmansv He is a clever young man and I like him first rate. Mr. Dillman and his store are illustrations of what a cash business and low prices will do. He has thanked us several times lor suggesting his present mode of doing business and thanked himself for catching on. We always offer the best suggestions practicable for the use of our patrons. If they accept them they are happy and a good advertisement does the rest, we think we have pulled from the credit spider web, many a grand but almost broken hearted fellow, whose sterling ability and honor bright, had been strongly tested iu the conflict with the ledger that would not yield up its ill gotten gains. Men have started with a small hand full of genuine bargains, sold upon correct principles and within one year they foiget the awful adversities of a life time in their magnificient triumphs of today. We have voluntarily made speeches to men who thought they were making money and at last they have taken the short cut where they know and feel the difference between money in the drawer and a promise to pay in the ledger. We have heard in our rounds of great big guns who formerly worked the eternity deal, but are now delivering little stock on a close margin for the cash. They can now eat and sleep like tramps. Look over their business with a smile on Saturday night, go to bed happily dream of only a peaceful journey through life, and get up on Sunday morning to fitly remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Go to church clothed in his right mind, prepared to drink in inspiration from what the preacher may say, and infuse it in.his business the coming week. I do not allude to merchants exclusively by any means, but every mothers sou and daughter whose duty it is to pay their debts and be happy. I am much pleased to look over the field of my past three years operations and note the steady progress in all branches of business. It is hard to say when we go back 100 years and see what impossibilities have beeu melted down into vast and stupendous realities. How steady and onward the majestic march of science how undaunted are the children of Genius and the scholars of invention and progression. It is hard to say peering through the century ahead, if there is really any limit to the ability and ambition of man. Let the mediocrity that have not energy enough to get out of the way. as you pass about your business read this and shake off that irresolution that makes of them mere automatons. There are plenty of little fellows that would buy lots if a little time was given as a starter and sometimes these champions of spot cash get tied up dead in the shell, fellows who would pay if they could and thus their time and chances are wasted in the vain endeavor to get the customary blood out of the customary turnip. Hence every man whose aim is bent upon success should follow straight the uuchanging law and take warning the moment you deviate from the iron rules your chances are imperiled. Keep your hard cash right in your business, let the horse trader, the speculator, the four months drummer, the pards, the politics and religious fellows go. Fire out the "big nothing" that comes into your oflice on a busy day and fumbles the papers, manuscript and letters that lie on your desk while he plies you with questions entirely foreign to your business such as theology, prayer husking corn, politics, or walking up and down, I do abhor the ill manuered "uinkumpoops" that insists in sticking his nose in my busiuess like some do. If my nose ever does that I want some one to cut it off, i'll never chirp. The unprecedented record that some others, not the "ninkumpoops are making, inspire me some times with that thrill and throb of enthusiam that makes me wish I was some body. They never wait for harvest money to come in, or the hands to get paid off, or the rain to let up, it is glory and business from the word go, and at the end of the race, the victors stop to think, and wonders why intellectual merchants will tussle, toil, sweat and swear so hard to get to hades when heaven is right there before them with the peoples honest hand of welcome to the champion. I think it is a problem not yet solved by time or brain.
