In Town.

Hon. James Monroe was in town the
other day. He is in excellent health
and wears his congressional honors with
becoming grace. He visited our schools,
and, at the request of Prof. Loos, de-
livered very neat and appropriate ad-
dress to the scholars. Though politi-
cally of the blacklist stripe, Mr.. NJ. is a
courteous and agreeable gentleman.
When in his presence, it is hard to be-
lieve that he would be an apologist for
the inquities Of Grants administration.
-FdrTaer.
If We only had more of the same kind
of the Hblackest stripe" and more of
the HGrant Administration" in some of
our cities and several of our States, we
would have no 1ammuny or New York
city transactions. The people at large
are satisfied with Grants administra-
ton, and the votes of this (l4th) District
have no desire for better, abler and
a more honest man than We have in our
just representative, Hon. Jas. Monroe.

TRAINS GOING EAST.
Wooster Completes with Cleveland and
Sandusky In Lumber,

JAMES CURRY, who has just returned from an
extended tour through the lumber regions of
Michigan, desires to inform his friends and
those in need of Lumber, that he has made ar
rangements with lumber mills whereby he is
enabled to furnish lumber at lower rates than
can be obtained along the lakes. He bought
three different lots, as follows: One of four
hundred thousand feet, one of two hundred and
and twenty-five thousand feet, and one Of two
hundred thousand feet, included in which are
one hundred and thirty five thousand feet Of
dry lumber, making a total Of eight hundred
and twenty five thousand feet, all Of which is
now arriving at his lumber yards in Wooster.
Currys claim they can sell lumber IS per III !.
cheaper than it sells at in Cleveland and San
dusky, freight added. The prices compared
with those cities are as follews: In Wooster
No. stock sells for sos per NJ; No. 2 stock $23
per M. Best ls inch shingles IS Is; best 16 inch
shingles "a 80 per N. In Cleveland and San
dusky, No. stock sells for s94 per M, and
freight added, $2s, and other lumber in pr0por-
tion. So it will be seen there is difference Of
50 per NJ. between Curry's prices and those of
Cleveland and other lake cities.
Having made the lumber trade their business
for a number of years, they are enabled to
know just what is wanted, and buying in such
large quantities they buy at very low rates.
1t is matter OF no little Importance to farm
ers and builders, that good lumber can be Sc
cured at fair prices. Currys are ready to COM
pete with any of the cities in Northern Ohio
Call at their lumber yards in Wooster. -

The Great Chicago Fire.

Elsewhere in our columns will be seen
an advertisement of new publication
published by the Union Publishing Co.,
being a complete picture of Chicago be-
fore and after the Great ConflagratiOn.
The Authors embrace the best talent the
City affords; Mr.. Upton being the Lite
rary Editor of the Chicago Tribune, and
Mr.. Sheahan, the editor, each with his
part to perform, is sufficient evidence
that the work will be done well, and
not too hastily. In this respect, this
book will be far ahead of anything that
has, or will appear, and all who want a
correct history, will find in this some
thing that they can hand down to flu
ture generations.
The work will be fully illustrated
by the best artists, to which will be
added correct Map of the City, and
mechanically, as well as historically, the
book will be second to none.
Our readers will find something in
this, without doubt, that will interest
them, and also be beneficial. We be-
speak for this book sale, both home
and abroad, fully as large as an Ameri-
can book can possibly obtain. l2-l4

Death Of George GRAY.

Mr.. Geo. Gray died very suddenly at
his residence, a few miles south Of town,
on Sunday. Aged about sixty-four
years. He was highly esteemed by all his
friends and acquaintances. He leaves a
wife and six children to mourn his
death. Death comes to all. 1t is only
a space of time, and we all will "pass
away through deaths cold and rigid
hands. Life's warfare with him has
ended and he sleeps WE'LL

BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago or
Indianapolis, how shall we reach the Westl
The best Line is acknowledged to be the e., b.
& O., Joined together with the b. & NJ. Rail-
road by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called the,BURLINGTON ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to Oma-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to day the leading route to California.
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
Kearny, forming the shortest route across the
continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the Is. NJ, diverging at
Red Oak, falls into.a Zine running down the
Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missouri,
and, by aslight divergence, can see Nebraska a
also.
Lovers Of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for its towns "high- -gleam-
ing from afar"-itsS tree -fringed 'streams--its
rough bluffs and quarries--its corn-oceans
stretching over the prairies further than eye
can reach.
Land buyers will:be sure to remember 1t, for
they have friends among the two thou sand who
have already bought farms from Geo. Harris
the Land Commissioner of the Il. 4 NJ. r. K, at
Burlington. Iowa, or among the four thousand
home -steaders and pre-empters who last year
filed claims in the Lincoln land Office where

Keep or the Cars.

The town of Ada has passed an ordi-
nance forbidding people getting on
trains other than for business or travel
This is an excellent law and the council
of Millersburg would do well to adopt
this ordinance or a similar one here.
Boys and men and even ladies almost
every day get on the trains here, and
then get off after the train has COM
menced moving off, thus endangering
both life and limb. There is no real
necessity for people to get on the cars
unless they get on for the purpose of
travel, and it would be wise as safe
guard against human life, for every
town and village to enforce such an Or
dinance.

Local Notices.

A rule with publishers, and the only
rule that will lead to success financially,
is to publish all paid locals, (if of re-
spectacle character) let them come from
whom they may. 1t is paid advertise
ments that help to keep the press going,
and that is what We all desire. If a
man hands the editor one, two, three or
five dollars and says "here, publish the
local." an editor would be foolish should
he decline ii.

Mutilated Bills.

We would warn the people not only
to be on the lookout for counterfeit
money, but mutilated bills also. A
gang of ingenious rascals, too lazy to
get an honest living, are flooding the
country with these mutilated bills. By
clipping off a piece and then pasting to-
gether, they succeed in making ten five
dollar bills out of what were originally
nine. Look out for them.

Just q Question or Two.


OF the innumerable questions which
printers are called upon to answer the
following are the most sensible:
Do you print both sides of your paper
at once?
How long does it take to make news
paper?
S'pose you write everything you print,
don't you?
Why are these boxes of different sizes,
and how do You know where to find a
certain letter?
Can't you print picture of anything
you want to? should think you could. :.
Why can't you?
(After printing some sale bills for a
man not long ago, he found fault with
them because the "cut" was not like his
horse. On another occasion, a gentle
man came to us with the information
that he left his horse in front of the Of
flee and he wanted picture OF it taken
and some bills printed.)
If you print 100 bills for $500 sup
pose you will let me have four for IL
cents?
should think it would be just fun to
be an editOr-yOu don't do anything but
oie uo"h anu iCsiu newspapers anu Blu
ries all day!
Do you throw your type away after
you have printed upon it once?
You don't care If take handful of
this type, do you?
1t can't be very hard work to set type
all day; is it now?
Would it do any harm if 1 should
knock this type down? You could easily
pick it up again-your a printer.
Can't l help you print something?
wish you would print my name for
me; it wouldn't be much trouble to
print off just one name.
What is this for? what do you do with
that? what makes that look so funny !?
what are you going to do now? what
for? what makes you keep so still you
don't care If Il fellow just talks, do
you?
BY the time man goes through with
this list of questions his company be-
comes so monOtOnous that he can not
fail to perceive its effect upon his listen
ers, and he walks off with the impress
sion that we have treated him unkindly.

The Very Best.

The question is often asked why the
Howe Sewing Machine is the best. The
answer is, simply because it does every
thing in the sewing line with such per-
feet satisfaction. Every one who has
used Howe Machine pronounces it the
most complete. Its work speaks for it
self. No other machine has such unan-
Imous testimony in its behalf. Every
body praises it, and no family should be
without it. If you wish No. ma

There are few men in every commu-
nifty who never DO anything to assist
public improvement, and always pro-
test that such and such institutions don't
profit them a cent, but We take notice
that every time a town secures public
improvement of any Importance, these
self-same men put up the price Of their

of individuals would be about as lively

A TyDO,s Error.

The anguish Of editors will never
cease until type-setters are wiped of
the face of earth. There, for instance
is the editor Of the Eastern Argus. He
alluded to one of the most eminent citi-
zens of his village as "a noble old
burgher, proudly loving his native
State" But was it not a serious cause
for dissatisfaction when he saw In the
paper next morning that the remorse-
less fiend had made him speak for the
eminent citizen as ga nobby old burglar
prowling around in a naked state ?"

The Splendid Mechanism

or this machine, and the superior skill, work
manship and materials employed in its con-
struction, are guaranty ofaccuracy strength
and durability, and runs with such ease thatit
makes u woman laugh.
The shuttle, riding in its carrier, is subject
to no wear, and the friction of '.race" is
avoided. Tho tensions admit of such nice ad-
justment, and with such ease and certainty,
that tone of the great difficulties met with IN or
dinary machines is entirely avoided, The feed
is adjustable, that it will work with equal Ia
cility either light or heavy goods.
This being comparatively a new machine,
persons would naturally be a little suspicious
of buying machine they knew but little
about but by referring to the following named
persons who have these machines. IN use, you
can be better satisfied:
Miss. Ann Millhouse, Miss. Mary Cook,
Mrs r. Is, Moore, Mrs. Nj. Mcclure,
Mrs M. w. Brown, Mrs. noxworth.

One evidence of their worth is the success
that attends them, wherever they go. Other

the world is wide and we want u reputation
too, and are willing To work for IL, and that is
what We are aftor to-day.
