Our Own Affairs.

we takc pleasure III tcHuc''"S ou'
acknow owledgments this early for the gen.
erous patronage extended to the Times.
The establishment Of a Democratic pa.
per in Lawrence county. even by many
ofthe friends Of the enterprise, was con.
sidercd doubtful experiment. We ore
happy however, to say, that we are no.
only fully satisfied with the entire prac.
Of such an enterprise, but that
il has SO far been favored beyond our
most sanguine expectations. And tho
professcdly democratic, yet We find a.
mong our subscribers very many wings,
from which we ar led TO believe that
our citizens appreciate the facilities for
the advancement Of general knowledge
afforded by the circulation OF newspa.
pers,-that the people are anxious to as.
certain the true position Of political
parties, and where they can most safely
trust their interests,-that candid ex.
preston Of ones firm convictions, and
honest intentions, will meet with appro
baton, even from those to whom
he is directly opposed in principle.
We send the Times this week to eve
ry family in lronton, or at least intend
to do so. Those who do not wish to be-
come subscribers, will please inform the
carrier next week, and those that wish
to continue, whose names we have not,
already, will accommodate themselves
and us too, by giving their names to the
carrier or calling and leaving them at the
office, as they may find most convenient.
We also send our paper to many iii
the country, who, we are not certain
have subscribed, as many Of our pros
pectuses have not yet been returned.-
If any such do not wish to take the pa
per. they will please return it, directed
to the Spirit Of the Times, lronton, O.
hio.'
B1- Our especial thanks to friend S.
B. Cole, for forwarding us list Of over
fifty advance paying subscribers.
MJWe invite TIE attention Of our
subscribers to our advertising columns.
And advise them, always, in purchasing
goods Of any description, to call on
those who advertise, for various reasons.
One is, that those who advertise in the
Times, and Register, both, will send
their advertisements to some 10 or IL
hundred families, and an individual do
ing business in town, will 60 where he
knosos the article is kept that he wishes
to purchase,-consequently, they will
have many more customers than he who
depends solely upon those that may by
chance see his particular establishments
and a smaller per cent from each Gus
toner affords them greater profit in the
aggregate. Besides, we have always
found those men who advertise freely
more liberal men to deal with, than
such as are afraid to cast even penn!
loaf upon the waters for fear it may new
or return.
For boots and shoes, you can be ftted
to order, by Evans, or Bishop & Perley
at Wholesale or retail, see advertise
mcnt.
In tho Hardware line, Duke & Kings
bury in the Union Block are ever read,
to accommodate you from their splendit
stock,-While McLain and Co., nea
the Vernon House, have not only hard
ware and all its concomitants, but DR.,
Goods to boot.
If you are for bread, or fond of sweet
meats, visit friends Cole, where you cal
feast for small triae Of the filthy lu
cre,' (and even ifyou happen to be scare
of that. you can borrow it Of Child &
Boyd, just by giving good security,)- J
While at Nixon's variety store, if yo,
wish to dance. you can find abundance
Of music, and all sorts Of yankee no
tons. And oysters-yes, such oysters
as you'll find at both those places, woe
make Jerseyman leave his basket o
ripe peaches just to smell ofthem. .
Then there is flour. at Beardsleys Dry
goods establishment, &c. &C., besides
Provision Stores, Dry goods stores, ant
Ready made clothing stores, Furniture
Rooms, &C., in abundance, whose pro
prietors are going to advertise. And fol
time, that for which some would sacri
fee all else, you can obtain it at frient
Weber's, and any amount Of jewelry.
Law-yes, too much law to mention
However, by this time you are probably
sick Of this iafgon. If SO, just apply
to Drs. Hollingsworth, and Moxley and
Egerton, who prescribe for all kinds o.
sickness, or if you prefer it, at Moxley
& Barber's Drug Store you can find 9
thousand and one. preparations Of pow
ders, pills, salves, syrups, sarsaparills,
