Roback,s Stomach Birtsr,.

Some time ago, Or. Roback, of CINCINNATI
through his agent in this place, J. A Maxwell,
Esq placed in our hands bottle of his Stomach
Bitters, designed for dyspepsia, to give tone to
the stomach, as preventive against the bilious
complaints incident TO the western country
and, upon using it, regard it as second to none
in America or abroad. To be able to state con-
fdently that the Bitters are q certain cure for
dyspepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietor
a source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all
morbid matter from the stomach, purifes the
blood, impart, renewed vitality to the nervous
system. giving it that tone and energy 80 indis-
pensabe for the restoration of health. The nu-
merous acknowledgL.ents of its superior excel
lence and bene6cent results, have assured the
proprietor that it cannot but prove a great cure
in the afflicted, and impart vitality to the thor
ougb systcm. We advise those who bitters
to none but Robsck', which can be obtained
at J. A. Msxwell's Drug Store, in Upper San
dusky.

MAKING VIRTUE OF NECESSITY

Maxine A VIRTUE OF A NECESSITY
The Republicans, after trying in vain to
coax, force or hire some one to accept their
nominations for Justices Of the Peace. have
come to the conclusion that they don't want
any more Justices. They fatser themselves
with the delusion that the township is not
entitled to any more Justices. In fact, they
believe in dispensing entirely with justice
so in despair they have instructed their
Johnny Scribbler to bolster up their sinking
cause with the plea that the townships
| quota is full. The Chairman of the Town
ship Committee comes out in the same
issue with the following section of the law In
regard to the matter:
"In all towns having population of more
than two thousand inhabitants, it shall be
lawful for the qualified voters thereofto cleo,
one Justice of the Peace, and one Constable
for each and every thousand of its inhabi
| tan,s, until the population shall reach 1--WE
thousand, after which the number OF Jnstice'
of the Peace and Consta bles shall not Dc in'

David! Oh, Jeemesl why did you permit this?
when ignorance is bliss it is folly to be
wise Much knowledge of the Law has been
our disgrace this time. When will meddl-
ing chairman of petty committees learn to
consult the fnglemen. We quote the follow
ing from speech made at the Republican
Convention for the benefit of these meddlers
in the future: Mr.. chairman. On this
question of justices, there's jim.

got power Of them ar facts in that ar
head and l propose he Just get up give US
the law. He can do j.. Get up Jim!
This is a verbatim ct spell-at-em repor,
Of the speech. Jeems modestly assumed q
perpendicular and with one of his most pol
ished efforts essed the minds of the conven
ven,ion and they proceeded to nominate
and have been at it ever since. They vii
probably find some one to run about th,
time of the county election, as they die
last fall. when they voted for tive

trick of voting for these officers at count,
