The Temperance Times is n large
and handsome weekly newspaper, adj
Vocating Total Abstinence and prohib-
ition. 1t is edited by the well-known
writer and lecturer, Rev. w. S. Peter
son, and published by J. B. King,
Dayton, Ohio. The Times is a high
toned Journal, of much literary merit,
and publishes thorough digest of the
important news of the day, with agri-
cultural, scietilic, and general reading
matter, which makes ii, aside from its
peculiar character As a Temperance adj
vOcate, a very complete and interest
ing family newspaper. On the Temper
ance question it is thorough and rad
ical, but not reckless; Outspoken and
bold, but not abusive and intOlerant.
Its discussions of the medical, scien-
tific, financial, scriptural, and other
important questions connected with
the Temperance Reform, are more
thorough and satisfactory than any
which have ever appeared in similar
publications. 1t a complete encyclo-
pedia of Temperance facts and argU-
ments. Temperance men who be-
lieve i'm something better than mere
rant and buster should subscribe for
that Times. Terms, 500 per year,
with reductions TO clubs. ]. Il. King,
publisher, Dayton, Ohio.
WOOd.-The roads are now in a
passable condition, and the wood
market is overstOcked. Occasionally
we get load from some unfortunate
man whose late appearance on the
ground, or the poor quality of his
wool, precludes the possibility of his
ffnHiner in caacnp 40 oil
nit of his getting home in good time;
when ii suddenly occurs to him that
he is in arrears for subscription to the
TRIBUNE. Forthwith he drives up,
asks us fifty cents more for the lead
than he has offered it for a score of
times, and feels aflrOnted if we do not
appear thankful for his Kindness in
bringing il i'm just at that time. Just
as if we don't know how he has stood
outside for hours, waiting in vain for
a purchaser. Now we want a few
cords of good wood If loads are
brought We shall measure them, as
we buy by the cord. We are willing
To pay the highest market price, but
we will not pay good wood prices for
soft, dead, sOggy or rotten wood.
Bring i'm the wood while the roads are
good.
The Holiday Fair.-The entertain
ments at National Hall are drawing
crowds of people nightly. On Christ
mas night over I.G00 tickets were sold,
and the sale of articles kept by the
Company was quite brisk. Tickets in
the Grand Distribution are selling
reasonably fast, and there is no doubt
all will be sold within the time APP
pointed. All should attend at least |
one night and see what is going on,
and see who are there. Boos' Silver
