TIIKRR is an advertisement on tho third

page

of this issue that will dawtlo

the eyes of a blind man. It is the advertisement of oureuterprising stove dealer K.

He occupies a largo portion of our spa«o this week to fully illustrate the "Early Breakfast" cooking stove, which is the "boss" store of the day.

THK Court House business is all at se* Again. IjSSt Saturday tbe Commissioners met and rescinded the order appointing architects Eppinghouaen and Hunting to prepare plans.

Mr. Shannon denies most emphatically that he ever asked or received a cent from Mr. Hunting for his influence, and be has instituted suit against Mr. Eppinghouaen for FFRT.OOO damages.
