The credit system Of doing business
is the curse of any community or indi-
vidual, and has made many rogue
where the man might otherwise have
been honest. The temptation is great,
and numerous individuals cannot with
stand it. They run into debt with the
original intention of paying, but if
things do not go well with them repu-
diation is the easiest thing i'm the world /;
if you permit them to get angry at you,
the first thing they think is, "Well, I'll
never pay what 1 owe, and I'd like to
see him collect it; the law won't touch
me;" and then they are off to run in
debt somewhere else. Every business
man in Millersburg knows this to be
the case, or if they have forgotten, just
let them turn to their books moment
and convince themselves. Now for a
case i'm point: A few weeks ago man
in neighbOring village stepped into a
store to buy a wash-tub; picked out the
article, asked the price, and then stepped
into another store to get ten dollar bill
changed. A bystander, who saw the
whole transaction, asked him why he
did not get the change where he bought
the tub. swell, you see, 1 owe the
storekeeper two dollars, but he made
me mad a couple years ago, and 1 never
intend to pay him; Pm too sharp for
him." 1 suppose there are just such
men i'm ourtown, but we are pleased in
not having the acquaintance of any of

Holmes County Fair.

OF course our people will not forget
the Fair next week, beginning on We'd
nesday and ending Friday. There is
not the least doubt but that the fair this
year will far surpass those of several
years past. Everything has been done
to make it pleasant and convenient for
both exhibitor and spectator. The
halls have been rearranged, enlarged
and make much more convenient. The
managers tell Us they have made ar
rangements to bawe on exhibition many
things that are seldom seen at county
fairs. The Secretary bas shown Hs Q
letter from the Managers of Clark's
Museum, in which it was stated that
that celebrated troupe would be on
hands. Among other things which they
have, are the Cannibals from the Fiji
Islands, race of men and women who
Geed On human beings. Then there will
be many other things of interest. Every
thing disreputable wiH be rigidly kept
out of the grounds. The BALLOON OF
Prof, Seacrist will be there, and all can
haye an opportunity to take ride to
the clouds If they wish it. The Pro-
lessor will cut Loose on the last day, and
take q ride above the clouds. From
present indications there viii be 2 very
large attendance and very fair show
ing OF entries. We are glad to see this
apd hope every one viii feel himself
personally obliged to assist In making
the Fair Q success.

Death Of Rev. John NJ. B0ggs.

Rev. John NJ. Boggs, of Indepen-
dence, died at that place on Sunday
night last, of typhoid fever. Mr.. Boggs
was for many years pastor of the Pres
byterian church at that place, but re-
signed two or three years ago on ac-
count of ill-health. Latterly he has
been acting as agent of Lenox Insti-
tute at Hopkinton, Delaware county, in
which he has been enabled to be OF
much service to that admirable educa-
tional establishment. 1t is not too much
praise to say that more admirable char
acter than Mr.. Boggs is seldom seen in
this world. A man of great mental
power, and of large cultivation, he was
yet singularly modest and retiring.
Kind, charitable, genial always-an ex-
emplar of all Christian graces-show-
ing in his daily life the spirit of the
Master i'm whose cause he was so zeal
oHs Q servant, no man was ever more
earnestly beloved by his church, or had
In Il greater degree the respect Of the
community In which he resided. His
death will cast a pail of gloom oyer
Buchanan county, and sadden many
hearts throughout Iowa. He leaves a
wife and several children.

Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and a half pounds of bile, which
contains great amount of waste ma
terial taken from the blood. When the
liver becomes torpid or conSested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noXiOus substance, which, therefore, re-
mains to poison the blood and be con-
veyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when
1t is receiving and retaining each day
two and half pounds of poison? Ma
ture tries to work off this poison through
other channels and organs-the kidneys,
lungs, skin, ETC.; but these organs be-
come overtaxed in performing this la
Dor, in addition to their natural func-
tiOns, and can not long withstand the
pressure, but become variously dis
eased. -"
The brain, which is the great electri-
cal center OF all vitality, is unduly stin-
ulated by the unhealthy blood which
passes to it from the heart, and it fails
to perform its office healthfully. Hence
the symptoms of bile poisoning, which
are dullness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impair
ment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or ner-
vous feelings, gloomy forebodfngs and
irritability of temper. The blood itself
being diseased, as it forms the sweat up
on the surface Of the skin, is so irrita-
ting and poisonous that it produces dis
colored brown spots, pimples, blotches
and other eruptiOns, sores, boils, car
buncles and scrofulous tumors. The
stomach, bowels, and other organs spo-
ken OF, cannot escape becoming, affected
sooner or later, and costiveness, piles,
dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhGa, female
weakness, and many other forms of
chronic disease, are among the necessary
results. AS a remedy for all these vari-
aus manifestations Of disease, DIR. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery is positively
inequated. BY II the tfyer and stom-
;ch are changed to an active, healthy
state, the appetite regulated and restor-
ed, the blood and secretions thoroughly
Purified ahd epriehed, and the whole
System reiiovated and built PIP anew

Democratic Meeting I'm Town Hall.

John Berry, Esq, of Upper Sandusky,
Democratic candidate for Congress in
this District, was announced by posters
and long string of names in the Far
zaer, to speak in the Hall on Friday
evening. The Hall was perhaps two
thirds full when the Hon. Gentleman
commenced his harrangue, but they
soon began to drop ont one by one du-
ring his short speech until the close
when there were present Gfeeleyites,
Republicans and all, just sixty-nine by
actual count. The meeting, for some
reason or other, wouldn't aenthuse''
much. The news from Vermont, we
presume, had something to do with If.

ORRvILLE, Sept. 9th. u

EDS. REPUBLICAN: The citizens of
Orrville feel jubilant over the turn mat
ters have taken. The Board of Direc-
tors Of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Railroad met at Steubenville last Fri
day and Saturday to definitely locate
the route ofsthe road. Wooster had its
representatives in attendance trying to
secure the road by extremely large
promises. Orrville and other points
presented their claims in the shape of
solid, substantial stock subscriptions.
After due elaboration until Saturday
the Board resolved to adopt the Orrville
route by adding to the middle division
a requirement of $4,000 additional
stock which will be forthcoming in due
time. The securing of this very i'm
portant occasion to our railroad inter-
ests gives Orrville an exceedingly bright
prospective future, and cannot fail to
make it one of the rising places in the
State. With a good north and south
road, and competing east and west lines
a beneficial effect is the only result. A
hastily. called meeting was held at
Evans Hall on Saturday evening to
celebrate the victory won. The Hall
was soon filled with ladies and gentle
men, and congratulatory speeches were
made by Mayor Rouch, DIR. Miller, Hon.
j. Ault and Capt. Taylor. The Mar
shallville and Orrville Bandswere pres
ent to aid in jollifying the occasion.
The topic of conversation to-day is
the defalcation which has just been re-
ported as occurring with j. B. Koch,
ESD, in the Wayne County Treasury.
The amount is said to be $780, 900. 1t is
supposed that his bail will be able to
make the matter good and save the
county from loss. The voters of our
county will begin to believe that it is
about time for change of administra-
ton in our public money-bOx.

A. Shrimplin has received another
mammoth stock of Boots and Shoes, and
wished us to put in big advertisement
telling all about it, but we were so busy
that we told him to wait another week
and then if he couldn't possibly find
time to write one out, that We would try
and do it for him. Don't wait, how
ever, for an invitation but go right
along and buy what you want and it
will be all right.

N. E. Conference.

The Conference at Mansfield which
closed last week was well attended and
very harmonious. We are pleased to
that the Rev. G. A. Hughes has been
returned to the Millersburg charge. Mr..
Hughes is an earnest, active worker in
the church and has done great deal for
this congregation. Through his ener-
getic working the church has built q
very neat house of worship.

Ohio State Fair.

The Twenty-third Annual State Fair
began in Mansfield on Monday of last
week, and closed on Friday The vari-
Gus halls were conveniently located and
arranged both for exhibitors and spec
tators. The grounds are large, and
pleasantly situated, large portion OF
them being in beautiful grove. No
better grounds could be had anywhere.
The different departments were as gen.
eral thing well represented, although
the showing for the first two days was
not large in few of the department.
The cattle department was large, and
the variety great; some of the finest we
have ever seen. The horse stalls showed
large collection of valuable stock.
There eeemca 70 be IN endless variety
of Machinery and Manufacturing pro-
ducts. The display of fruit was excel
lent. The entries of flowers were not
so large, but fine. The Fine Art CAL
lery was wen patronized, there being
some beautifuh things there. The first
and second days were spent In entering
and filing up the different halls. The
crowd on Tuesday was respectable, but
not large. On Wednesday the attend
ance reached over twenty-five thous-
and. Thursday morning was wet, and
the rain continued falling till O'Clock,
after which it cleared up, and the rest
of the day was quite pleasant although
quite damp under foot. The crowd that
day was said to be nearly ten thousand
greater than on Wednesday. The
weather on Friday was pleasant and
the attendance was still very large. The
total number of entries was said to be
over four thousand. The receipts of
the first day were double those of the
first day last year at Springfield. The
people of Mansfield did all in their
power to make everything pleasant for
and succeeded admirably.

Tho Rup

The potato bug is still seen on the war
path. The pavements and streets are,
in places, nearly covered with them.
They have stripped the potato vines and
are now feasting greedily upon the
jimpson weeds. We noticed in some
places where they had eaten them as
close as they did the potato vine. We
counted about one hundred and twenty
five the other day going for jimpson
weed. After they get through with them
we suppose they will sing, "woe unto

A Chanfer of Accidents.

1t is seldom, where so many people
as were in attendance ut the State Fair
last week, that the days pass away with
out some accident. In another column
will be found an account of the collision
between two trains, near Independence
ON the road from Mansfield to Mt. Ver-
non. 1t is now thought the blame lies
with the dispatchs at Newark who gave
orders for the conductor on the north
ward bound train to go on. The last
account we have says that eight had al
ready died and that others could not
live. The wounded were about forty
five in number. iHiiiiiihl 7 d
Another very sad accident occurred
in Mansfield OH Thursday evening,
which caused the death of Mrs. Mar.
garet Cutler, some relative of Rev. l.
Cutler formerly Of this splace. 1t seems
that her husband was on the police force
that day, and had come in and laid his
revolver on the -"what-not," out of
reach of any of the children as he sup
posed. He also says he thought that he
had discharged all the loads. A little
boy took the pistol down, and COM
menced swapping it, when it went off
and shot the lady, who at that moment
bent oyer the table, through the neck,
severing the jngular vein. She died in
half an hour. -
Some unknown man fell under the
cars as he was trying to get on at the
Mansfield Station on Thursday evening
and was killed by the cars running
over him. ~
A team of horses attached to a car
riage containing two young ladies, ran
away in the streets of Mansfield, and
had a very narrow eseape7of being torn
to pieces, and the ladies killed. For
tunateiy both the horses and the ladies
escaped being hurt, although the ladies
were nearly frightened to death.
People cannot be too careful on all
such occasions, as there is danger when |
least looked for. We have often Won
dered there are not more accidents than
there really are, especially when the
trains are so crowded as they generally |
are on such times. People have no
business to stand on the platform of the
cars. Nearly all of those killed in the
late collision near Independence, were
standing on the platform at the time.

How to Go West.

This is an enquiry which every one should
have truthfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and a little care taken in exani-
nation of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.

go, through Galesbnrg to Burlington, and the
