Holidays. L. Mayors.

Take good care of your horses now
so that they will be ready for the spring
work.
1t was Thomas Charette, of Maine,
pipe the other day. No insurance.
Our merchants are getting in their
Holiday goods, and the stores are put
ting on quite cheerful appearance.
If you want to buy nice stylish
suit, 60 to Isaac Marx, and get a bar
gain. 13tf
1t will soon be time to swear off
chewing tobacco and drinking whisky,
the holidays are near.
AT this season, among things for
the protection of women, and at the
same time something that will help ele-
vate them, are thick sOled shoes.
The man who picked up double
tailed wasp has lost his interest in en-
tomology; he studies chemistry and
surgery.
If you have friend far away from
home, send him a home paper, and he
will thank you from the bottom of his
heart.
We furnish Envelops with Busi-
ness Card thereon, nearly as cheap as
the blank envelopes can be purchased
elsewhere. nj
Now is the time to commence your
holiday advertising. A few dollars
spent judiciously in "printers' ink" can
not fail to prove splendid financial in
yestment.
Side tracks are now being laid on
the C. Mt. V. & c. r. r. at Orrville. |
This will greatly facilitate the shifting
at that point where there is quite de- |
tention in freight trains as it is.
The Methodist folks will hold their
annual Festival on the 18th, 18th and |
10Th inst, in their church. We hope
they will be literally patronized. See
notice in another column.
From now until after the Holidays
young men should be careful not to
drop in suddenly on their intimate lady |
friends. 1t might spoil happy sur
prise in the future.
We would suggest the propriety to
certain young lady in town to do one
Of two things the next time her fellow
comes to see her. Either prevent him
being quite so affectionate or put down
the window blinds.
There is in circulation a counter
felt greenback of the denomination of
five dollars, issue of March 10, 1868. 1t
1t is very poor imitation of the genu-
inc, nevertheless it may deceive some
persons if not on their guard.
Snow should be promptly removed
from the sidewalk by the owners oflots
adjacent the sidewalk. 1t looks bad to-
see it packed down, and it makes poor
footing. Let all attend to this promptly
when snow falls, and all will feel better
over it.
"A prominent citizen of this village
went home few nights since at late
hour, and gently tapped ut the door,
"Who is it?" inquired his better-half.
To which very proper inquiry, the
heartless man replied by asking, "Whom
do you expect at this hour of the night? 2"
Our fair damsels look prettie and
sweeter at this season of the year than
at any other. The bright and bracing
weather lends smiles and rosy cheeks.
Their good taste is displayed in their
handsome, warm and cOZy dresses.
Good taste and pretty faces are our town
weaknesses.
1t is stated that the Pennsylvania
railroad company are about placing |
leather straps across the track at GER
tain distance in front OF bridges, so that
brakemen who are standing on the top
of the cars will be struck by them, and
thus reminded that the train is nearing
a bridge.
We have lately received copy of
the proceedings of the Triennial reunion
of students at Vermillion Institute,
Hayesville, O., held the last week of |
August. Any one desiring a copy can
have it sent to them by sending twen-
ty-five cents to Prof. J. C.. Martin,
Hayesville, Ashland, Co. o.
Maine husbands come cruel dodge |
on their faithful, if too talkative. One
tells his wife that he is going to Ausan-
nsogowmOngOtOngO fishing, and
in his absence has friends call at his
house and inquire his whereabouts. |
When he returns the poor woman is |
exhausted, and doesn't talk again for
month.
Hands have they, yet steal not
clocks. Legs have they, yet walk not
tables. Teeth have they, yet chew not
combs. Lips have they, yet kiss not |
pitchers. Eyes have they, yet see not
needles. Hearts have they, yet pity
not-cabbages. Ears have they, yet
hear not-old book leaves. Arms have
they, yet toll not-chairs.
j. c. Shanibarger reports that he
feels gratified that the results of his sale,
of thoroughbred Poland Chind Pigs, on
Thursday last, indicate that his endeav-
ors to improve the stock of this coun-
ty are highly appreciated. Thinks he
will have another sale of about 100
head, sometime in May next, of which
due notice will be given.
With the long evenings now before
us, every man in the county ought to
take some paper, and there is none so
profitable as the paper published in his
own county. Not unfrequently it is the
case that single article of local i'm
portance appears in the paper which
will more than compensate him for the
money paid for it for whole year.
"A joke is told about a county officia
in one of our Southern counties which
is too good to be lost. A gentleman
went into his office and found him i'm
his not unusual state of intoxication,
and unable to transact business ssHOw
did they ever come" said the gentle
man, to elect "such damn fools as you to
office?" why" replied the official,
eve got the (hic) majority"
"A young man of this town who is
infatuated with charming young lady
