A little labor by the property holders along some of our streets would assist in runninjr of! great lakes of water and add muchly to the appearance of the village. Ditch, gentlemen, ditch in front of your houses.

If George Washington was first in war. Ezra Crist is first in the Hardware business in Liberty, or any other place near. He has just received an immense stock of hardware, iron, nails, cultery, and house furnishing material, which he offers at wholesale or retail, at better, bargains than ever otfered before. Hail! the joy Cheapness. John Pyle of Libeity has just returned from the city with a fresh stock of boots and shoes. He has a lot of ladies shoes of the latest styles which he will sell as low as can be bought in the city and no humbug. These goods are man ufactured from a pure article of leather and will wear. Call and examine his stock. The Centennial Boot. Long may our flag wave, but while she is waving we would like all to know that, Ramsey fc Bio. have just received a large and new stock of boots, pegged and sewed fine French calf, boxtoed and plain, which they are selling at a reasonable price. Remember that all their boots are warranted, and are the best w e have seen in any market. Every farmer in the land needs, at the opening of each spring, to make some preparations that will insure him a successful crop. In no one thing does success depend more, than in giving the ground a thorough plowing, and e ach farmer can best prepare and d-. this needed work by buying the Day-ou Champion Plow, the best breaking plows in the market, sold by E. Crist of Liberty. The will of the late Timothy Kirby of Cincinnai has developed nauseous scandal. It appears that the old gontlem-m had been an imbecil during the last years of his life and was the victim of a wretched monomania. The heirs contest his will, and the evidence, upon its submission for probate, indicates that it ought to be broken. lie became the victim of the foulest puMic women of Cincinnati, who tyranized over the old man with brutal ferocity. Centennial Local History We heartily endorse the views of the Libeity Herald last week regarding the gathering in o all local hits of history from each township, and having it published in hook form. But we also would like to see, for those that will remain away from the Centennial at Philadelphia, a demonstration in Union County, in fact in each County, consisting of the reading of addresses vivinr the main points of history of each locality. Let each township take tins matter in hand early, and point some one to undertake task. opthe Reported for the Corner Stone. OXFOED iTSi:S. BV X. The public schools will give an entertainment on the 22nd inst to celebrate Washington's birthday. J. E. Van Sickle & C. Van Arncm will open marble works soon on East Public Square, A large number were baptized at the M. E. Church last Sabbath morning. An attempt was made a few days since by several parties to purchase groceries cheaper than G. W. Adams had beeu selling them: but thee failed, and now declare an old time truth, by saying that George sells a first class article of sugar, cofiee, tea, flour kc. cheaper than any oilier firm in Oxford. Ladies will find that Sam Coltoi keeps the best dress goods in Oxford and sells the cheapest. Mr. Nelson of Norwood, O., lectured at McGonnigles Friday night. His subject was "Auld Lang Syne." The ladies of the M. E. Church Furnishing Society will give- .1 so-

cial in the Lecture room next Thurs

day evening. The colored churches are now holding revivals. Last Thursday evening a Union prayer meeting was held at the Sec ond Presbvterian Church for our schools ami colleges. Farmers don't forget to call on G. W. Adams while in town and examine his line stock of dry goods and grocerhs. Bargains can be made in Peru Factory goods, woolens, fce. A fresh supply of best groceries fcc. Another meeting of the Board of Trustees of Miami University was held at Columbus Wednesday night the particulars not yet kuorti. A magnificent stork of ladies' winter clonks, and gentleman's overcoats at sum . Colter's. Quite an event in the social world occurred on Sabbath evening, in the marriage ot Mr. Malcolm Ritchie and Miss Jennie White. We wish this happy young couple every possible joy May his "impression" for lite be a perfect one; may his "lake"' be a W i"ul oi.e and his v. roof" of a hap ier t me to c m ever be a clean one. Ev. Ike I. Keely, w ho lor the last six months has been breaking on the I. B. & W. R. R., is now visiting Oxford. Ike is not only a good breaksman and 9. jolly fellow, but a line singist. Vegetation is thriving wonderfully. Noses are blossoming by the scores. If you have pictures you want to have trained, call on Sam Gath Jr. who has the finest assortment kept in Oxford. There is no store in Oxford that has a more complete stock of dress goods ami groceries than Colter's. Call and look at ihe new arrival of fresh goods. S. F. Murray of Roanoke, Ind., P. N. Moore and M Grey of St. Louis, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Meeker of Harrison. O., Mr. W. S. Crawford and lady of Detroit, are. or have been lately visiting Oxford friends. Miss Anna 1 1 ill, Miss Mary W ampler, Mr. Ed Guy and Mr. Chas. Terrill arc visiting from home. Mr Bob Rusk has purchased the farm lately owned by Ren u k Brown comprising SO acres north of town. As the season for clothing is here, people naturally desire to know where they can get the best hargains. Sam. Cotter, on High street, has been at the business (dry goods) for years; and by keeping only the bet quality of dry goods and groceries, and selling nK the lowest prices, h built up a tra e second to none in Oxford. The property of the late Middleton Davis was purchased as follows; M. II. W liitwt.rt 1. taking the grain house foi $10G9; E. Bourne the railroad lot for $111; Tom McCullough the lots west of railroad for $50. Mr. Henry Piper and Zach Taylor have exchanged property. Farm for town residedce. Will Lawrence, Sim Garnet and Clay Marshall were, all arrested on Monday night on the charge of usi n ir a chair to freely on the head of Martin Craven, a saloon keeper in Bucktown. The truth is that the Peru Fac lory goods, sold by G. W. Adams, are positively the very best manu fac tu red or sold, and will outwear all other miil oods. Billiiigsville Notes. Ad Ilaworth issucceedirg finely with his school. Abe Rose is doing a mammoth business in the grocery line. He is young, and smart, and "old man" refused to let him see his daughter.

Clippings from the Detroit Free lress. It is the opinion of some of the best informed Phihuleljjhiu pitpers that there will be tramps enough in that city by May to eat the whole Centennial up. There is a little town in NewYork State where every man and womau has bcn converted, and some of them are paying hack Ua and coti'ce borrowed six and seven years ago. A clerk's salary in New York ranges -fr un $300 to -$1,500 per year." That range covers a pile of mince pies and billiards. It's from one clean shirt per week to four paper collars per day. "Come gentleman, what about a reduction of postage? The session is ix weeks old, and the people are still lickinir Hamlin's highway robbery postage stamps on papers and parcels. The Christian at Woik says that no chewer of tol acco can ever go to Heaven. We've seen a good many Christians at work on line cut and plug, ami none of them ever to k this view of the case. Yes it is true that a Michigan man dropped dead after loosing $150 at the gambling table. But that's no held for the fatalist. It he had won $200 he would probably have lived on and been happy, and told the boys how he laid those

gamblers out. When a New Hampshire man has courted a girl for eleven years with out having ever hinted that he'd ike her to make his breiid for life, he has a moral right to meet him it the gate with a shot-gun ai.d de mand if he means to keep that thing up forever. The Evansville Journal says that wheat never looked belter. The man who can ride over the cuuu:v on a spring ooani, aucr a ouii'i ... i i i hoisc, with a raw wind blowing and no overcoat on, and find time to ex amine the wheat fields is Mire of steady wot k the year i our.d. Since a man in Stoninglon. Con necticut, plowed up one of Wash ington's old coat buttons i.i his field, the people in that neighbor hood have become aroused to the importance, from a truly agricul tural point of view, of deep and thor ough lilage. Every man who has a quarter of an acre ol land has had it plowed over once at least aud will have the operation repeated as soon ts the frost is out of the ground. Till 1.7MPH ANT !
