TURN OUT.-Don't forget that the Dem
ocratic Primary Elections take place mex
Saturday. We hope to see large vote
polled 1t will show that the Democracy
of little Holmes are awake.
-
THE DISTRICT CoNvENTIoN.-We would
respectfully urge upon the delegates to the
district convention to be held at Wooster
on the 9th inst. to be prompt in their at
tendance Not one should fail to be or
hand.
COLONEL SPIEaEL. After our paper was
printed last week, word came that Colonel
SPIEGEL was not dead but this good news
proved to be untrue. 1t is now settled that
the lamented Colonel and his brother 10.
seph are both dead and buried in the same
grave.
GRAND EXHIBlTIoN.-Pro Sands gave
n very interesting exhibition Monday even
ing and will give another this, Wednesday,
evening, in which he eilcctually exposes
spiritualism, slight of hand performances,
ETC. His exhibitions are moral, entertain
ing, instructive and serve as warning to
all to beware of tricksters and sharpers.
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP. Owing to the
difficulty in crossing Mohican river, the
Central committee three years ago provided
for the primary elections to be held at two
points in Washington township, to-wit ::
Nashville and Ships school house. Of
course, that arrangement will continue until
changed by the committee.

CHANGE OF TERMs.-From and after the
1st of July the terms of the FARMER will

in advance before that time will get the pa
per for the length of time paid for on the
old terms Those in debt at that time will

IMPORTANT QUESTION debating soci-
ETY. up North has been discussing the ques-
tion: ''Is it a more delightful operation to
kiss fair woman on dark night than a
dark woman on a fair night"
The debate run into politics, and the alb
olitionists being in majority decided the
question in the negative.
->~~~----
Quo MOWER AND REApER.-The read
er's attention is referred to the advertise
ment for the "Ohio Mower and Reaper"
to be found in another column. This ma
chine has gained widespread popularity
among farmers. A machine can be seen at
PHILIP LEPPLAs shop. We recommend
the gentlemanly agent, Mr. GALBREATH,
as worthy the confidence of our people
THE Snow FLAKE. The poets and wri-
ters of romance often refer to the snow flake
as an emblem of purity. We never see the
snow fake folling gently to the ground, but
we think of De Land & Co. S Chemical Sal
eratus, which is quite as pure and produces
biscuit nearly as light 1t is counterfeited,
and spurious article is put up in green pa
pers, but the genuine comes in bright red
papers, and is sold by all good grocers.
GoDEY's LADY's Book FOR JUNE.-We
have received the June number of this pop
ular Magazine. 1t contains fine steel en-
craving of "a Helping Hand to the Aged"
double page colored fashion plate, and nu-
merous other engravings of patterns and
fashions. Send for it. Price $500 per
year, in advance. Address L. A. Cooley,
323 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Pa.

BOLD OUTRAGE,-Last Monday evening

from Lupold's blacksmith shop, about 9
o'clock, with blind horse he had been get
ting shod. On the way he was met by
man in the uniform of a cavalryman and dis
guised with mask, who seized the horse,
threw the boy off, threatened to kill him if
he made exposure, and led the horse away
short distance, discovered it to be blind
and turned it loose
LIEUT. MINoR.-Our citizens will re-
member the gentlemanly and courteous
CHAs. W. MINOR, Second Lieutenant of
company G, 9th Regiment, who was in
this place some two years ago recruiting,
and they will regret that he was severely
wounded in one of the recent battles. A
portion of one of his ears was shot away
and frightful wound inflicted on the side
of his head.
