Rev. Mr.. Browder will cut hole in the

Sunday was a pleasant day, and nearly
everybody attended church. All appear
ed quiet-no noise. on the streets. How
pleasant 1t is to enjoy such haven of
rest once week
Mr.. Nm. Scar has returned from the
east, where, we are informed he has pur-
chased a heavy stock Of very superior
goods-he sells cheaper than the cheap
est. When you come to b call upon him
if you want anything in the clothing line,
and you will make good wages, after de
Quoting your expenses for fare. What
everybody says must be true.
For groceries you can't go amiss in this
town. Every establishment keeps large
and full stock. They each pay higher
prices for produce, and sell groceries
cheaper than any of the neighborint
towns. which makes this desirable poin
to trade
am informed that several of our citi-
zens have decided to go into the manu-
tacture of brick. This is a move in the
right direction. Several hundred thous-
and can be contracted for, cash in adj
i vance
am informed that one of these poor
runty tltmen is very much alarmed foI
the safety of the Republican party, if Tat
tier Is allowed to continue his correspond
ence tor the REPUBLICAN and he is also
afraid that this correspondent wants one
OF those lusty tits, and then? oh, what
would become of them as they have to

here let me say, as every one here is
aware of the fact, that | have not one
word of reproach to offer against any of
, these citizens, as men or private citizens.
| We respect and honor them but as pub
| lie officials we consider them as weak i'm
beetle creatures, afraid to do their duty
for fear somebody might not like it, They
say they want no advice from me; but as a
gratuity let me suggest that they make an
example OF every man in town who has
the streets numbered up with any rubbish
ofany kind Don't plead the baby act,
gentlemen. | would also inform them
that Tattler has his Corporation receipt
in his pocket, and has had for many
weeks, for the year 1871. Couldn't you
assess me again? Ii so, cal around
have been a Republican since 1856,
and believe the party still survives.
informed them last week that | was
ready to be swallowed, and had my ears
pinned back ready to be devoured but
Jonah like, l will, and nearly always do
make my appearance on land again about
! the third day
appeal to the good people of Bourbon
not to wait upon me by their committees,
to urge me to accept an Office, for | might
be so reckless as to decline, and then it
might hurt their feelings. Please don't
gentlemen. But rather send a committee
to inform these officials that they must do
their duty, whether they want to or not
This may CRATE little, as intend it shall

the Hoop Pools, &c, in the way of B. be-
coming one of the neatest and most pleas
ant towns on the Pittsburgh, Fit. Wavne
and Chicago Railroad
There is not week but a number of
capitalists give us ii call with a view to
establish business in this place. This
speaks volumes for the future of Bour-
/ bon if our citizens will will only give the
proper encouragement
Our fellow townsmen are donating
very literally this week to help in the
erection of Salem College, to the extent
of number OF thousands, from what |
can learn.
