Go to F. J. Sears & Co 'a for the next thirty days tor bargains. They have drawn the knife. Few firms in this part of the State curry as large a stock of clothing, or sell as cheap, as Willey A Sigler. Persons in need of a sewing machine will find it to their advantage to oall and examine one for sale by WUley A Sigler. Those who trade at Leopold's are sore of satisfactory bargains, else why should he keep such a run of customers? Mr. Thomas Thompson and wife returned home from Philadelphia, where they oelcbrated the Fourth, on Tuesday evening. Nobody questions the fact that Mr. Leopold keeps his store filled with the nicest, oheapest and best goods to be had in the market. Times are dull now and people are of making their means reach as far as possible. One way to accomplish this purpose is to trade at Leopold’s. On the night of the 9th a meteor of remarkable .size and brilliance uas .seen in the northern heavens by people of this town. It was a I so. noticed at points in every direction within a radius of 150 miles.

Judge Hammond,, with his daughter Louie and nieqe Miss Nellie Spitler, and Hon. R. 8. D wiggins, wife and family, started on yesterday to attend the Centennial ejupsiUon at Philadelphia. Judge Hammond kindly promised to take notes of exposition sights for publication in Th» Uni ox. Several new names are added tbis week to the list of candidates iu Jasper county. There is now a pretty respectable number of very respectable gentlemen before the people of Jasper.for their suffrages. If good men are not selected—but they will be; there is no ifJn the way. All of them are good, worthy and well qualified, aa can readily be proven by a multitude of witnesses. But who will be the Tficfcv mni?

The friends of Mr. Albert Bellows are urging his uftmiuation for commissioner from this district, on the republican ticket Mr. Bellows informs us that, although not seeking the position, he will accept the office and discharge the duties thereof, if elected.—./ bmintfon Record.

Hopkins, assistant leader; R. H. PurcupUe, secretary • and J- M. Abbott, treasurer. Messrs. J. M. Hoptyns, J. M. Abbett and R. H. Purcupile were appointed auditing and contractingcommittee, who alone have authority to make contracts of whatever nature. Neighbors tell ns that they have been feasting on roasting ears and new cabbage grown in their Hardens this season; but these reports are probably the impressions of their dreams, for it is a well authenticated fact that people who have been without food for two or three days dream banqueting upon the most ravishing feasts. When roasting ears, new cabbage, spring chickens, and tlfe like are to be found upon the .table where we feed, we will be in condition to give credence to reports of their existence; but until then they are as unsubstantial as the shadows of _ - -uu- -u- ' - ■ ' yesterday.

In the case of Isaac Y. Alter vs. the Jasper County Ditching Company, tried in the circuit court last week, before Judge Ward, of the LaFayette superior court, the jury brought in a verdict for theplaintiff and ordered the assessments of the company set aside. Five or six days were consumed in the trial, and twenty-five or twenty-six witnessess examined. In the matter involving a remonstrance to the action of the board of county commissioners in establishing a public highway, on what is known M the range line route between Rensselaer and Remington, it was held that the commissioners exceeded their authority in ordering the road within ;jbe corporation limits ot Rensselaer, and a perpetual injunction was obtained by the plaintiffs against the defendants.

Also, a grand monster balloon ascension by the renowned Madam LaFoutame. No charge will be made for admission to see the balloon inflated and theseronaut start on her perilous aerial voyage.
