odds AND ENDS, The OIL ckcltcWcut
has got pretty high in this region, and a
large number Of people are troubled with
oil on the brain but amidst all the excite
ment JonN H. Koch, Jr. has gone to the
Eastern cities for n large supply Of new
fashionable and cheap goods.
Engines arc arriving in the county for the
purpose of boring for oil. The grease can
not be obtained without mother earth being
bored but any kind, quantity and quality
Of goods may bc obtained at Kocn's cheap
store without purchasers being bored.
The balmy days of spring are coming upon
u.s. when all nature will be made glad the
cattle upon thousand hills will be enriched
by gathering the green heritage, the feathercd
songstcrs will fill the air with their enchant-
ing carols, the refreshing brcczcs from
southern climcs, laden with health and
pleasantncss, will make us rejoice in new
ness of life, and those who buy their goods
at Kocn's cheap store will enrich them
selves, their homes will be made glad with
the jublant songs Of the children and theil
neighbors seeing their beautiful goods and
great bargains, will go to kocH's like the
rushing of many waters.
Those who expect to be caught the next
time the widow-maker throws his drag net
may be deceived, the soap mine may prove
humbug, but at kocu's corner no one is
deceived, no one is humbuged.

The Holmes County Farmer says that
a large mine of hard and soft soap has been
discovered in that county-enough to supply
the country for years. We doubt that. 1t
will require an enormous quanty to wash out
the black stain Of Abolitonism when the
Democracy come into power. Seneca At

Abolitionism and its black stain have both
been washed out of Holmes county, and the
soap has not been effected thereby to the
extent of an ordinary day washing.
