is another Of the representative busi-
ness men Of Tiliin, his line Of trade
being dry goods. This city and vicin-
ity has been his home for the past six
years, and about eighteen years ago
he resided here for a time. Upon re-
turning six years ago he engaged in
farming for a couple Of years, and for
the following three years was in the
WOOlen mill. One year ago last jan
uaTy he began his present business.
He was by no means unacquainted
with the dry goods trade, for, years
ago, he had extended experience as a
clerk, and his career for the year past
abundantly testifies 10 his abilities as
a dry goods merchant. Mr.. Buskirk
secured q handsome store room, cor
ner of Washington and Madison
streets, 1Sx1OO feet, and this he. has
stocked 70 repletiOn. No more at
tractive place OF business can be found
in the city. His Is the most recently
established dry goods house here, and
though competition has been active
we are safe in saying that he has at
least done his share Of business. Five
statesmen are employed. Mr. Buskirk
I devotes his entire time 70 the business
he has proved himself an enterpris-
I ing thorough gOing-Ousiness man in
not only this but whatever business
. he has undertaken here, and the re-
I suit has been no doubtful one In
trade as in professions, there is room

such a position usually su5eeed-
HERsHIsER & MYERS

men, their line OF trade being drugs
and druggists, sundries. Their firm
was formed nearly seven years ago.
I Both gentlemen have resided in the
town or county for a number Of years,
DR.. Hershiser, also having formerly
/ been in the drug trade ut Columbus.
3 In 1864 he was appointed assistant
I Surgeon of the 147th Ohio Infantry
and subsequently Hospital Inspector
Of Camp Douglas. Now he does not
engage in active practice, but il con-
/ fined 70 the duties Of the store. Mr..
Myers il, we believe a native Of this
. place, and before forming partnership
with DIR. Hershiser was for a number

interests Of town. Both gentlemen

pays his attention to clothing, mer-
chant tailoring, gents furnishing
goods, hats and cRps. Five years ago
he removed to Seneca county from
Allentown, Pa, where he had form
erly been in trade. For three years he
engaged in farming, but the blRndish-
ments of trade became too strong to
be resisted, and so two years ago he
removed to the cit6 and commenced
his present business. He still owns q
considerable amount of farming lands
near town, but We won't undertake to
tell what he knows about farming
practically. As a business man, he is
a success. His merchant tailoring
trade is very large, giving employ
ment to . persons Harrison Lutz

how to fashion garments to the salts

Fy streets, are engaged in the general
drug trade, the management Of the
business being with the junior part

representative Of the firm, Mr.. Ull-
rich senior, being deceased. The firm
was established two years ago. Mr..

ously, however, and the prospect
seemed fair. At first, rival establish

has become an accomplished fact, and
Ullrieh & Son now enjoy q large and
growing trade. There is nothing
specially interesting for cOntempla-
ton in nauseOus drugs, so, while vis-
iting the store, we pay more attention
to the excellent and large collection OF
birds, insects, and euriOsities that Mr..
Ullrieh has in his cabinets. He has

Wa. GALLUP

is the well know style OF one Of our
oldest houses here. Nearly thirty
years ago Mr.. Gallup commenced the
jewslry business here. He enjoyed 3
good trade from the first, having
opened a better stock of goods than
had ever before been kept here, and
for twenty years he continued the
business alone, building 1t up from
year to year until the point attained
was gratifying in the extreme. One
year ago his brother, G.. L Gallup be-
came partner, although the firm
name has not since been chang
ed. Both are practical jewellers,
Of acknowledged ability, and they
continue to hold q mont place
in the ranks Of business inter-
ests here. The Messrs. Gallup are
originally from NorWalk, this State,
Of which place their father was one Of
the earliest residents. Their business
identity Is with Tifin, however, and
their establishment is one which re-
fleets credit upon the city. Both are
snterprising gentlemen, and Il Is easy
to predict that in the years to come
they will continue doing the leading
jewelFy business OF Tifin.

is we'll represented in THIN, and when
these gentlemen came here two years
ago. the prospect, TO say the least, was
not the brightest in the world. An
old adaze: ttFaint heart never won,

that strict attention to business, court
esy, and a good line of goods would
attract trade they launched upon the

TIE FIRST NATIONAL BANk
Of TifIin is filling a sphere Of useful
ness in this community, and we here
with outline its career. It was organ
lied in March 1865, with capital Of
Sl0l, ,00O, with B. Tomb "a President,
and J. y. Huss Cashier. These gen-
tlemeu had been identified with the
banking interests Of town prior to
that, however. In lSj2 the private
bank Of Tomb, Huss & Co., succeeded
10 Arnold & Tomb, banking firm es-
tablisEed some years before, and Tomb,
HUss {. Co, was merged into the First
National Bank. Since its establish
ment the First National has met with
a very successful career. Besides de-
ciaring profitable dividends it has ac-
quired u surplus OF Sl6,00O. Its depOs-
its average about 500, 0,O0O AMI its loans
aud discounts 500, 600, evincing plain
ly enough that its management com
mands the confidence Of the people.
Five years ago the Bank built its
present Office, a very handsome three
story brick building, which Is fitted up
with every convenience. The officers
Of the bank are well known 10 cur
community. Mr.. Tomb has lived in
this county for thirty years, coming
from Pennsylvania. and his business
has been before and since coming
here, chiefly farming and numbering.

The FARMvrLLE COMMONWEALTH ON MR.
BERKIEY's SPEECH. we have to say lis
our friend Bob is regarded as pretty fair
speaker in Prince Edward that he is !" Ephl-
r1bus anuna;;" which may be translated, there
are more achere he came from We knew
all the while, however, that he was a far bet
ter speaker than the people about the Capt.
tol Of Virginia were in the habit of hearing.
If the occasion should arise for three or four
of the best speakers of Prince Edward to
show their powers upon a State arena, the
whole State would wonder that such men
have been so little known before. We have
been more than once amused at these bigcity
lawyers--putied into State regulations by the
city press-how they have been eclipsed and
defeated by members Of our county barwhen
they have appeared here to argue some I'M
portant case, Their sleek hats, neatly
trimmed whiskers, eyeglasses hungt strings,
and city airs, awaited them little before the
Jury and the court. The leaders Of our home
bar are invariably too much for them.-Issue
of sl1th.
I'VE shall say nothing except that we have
at least one of the Prince Edward lawyers
practicing at our bar every day.
