ANOTHER ARTICLE OF COMMON House.
HOLD USE SUPERcEnED.-Associated with
the earlier recollections Of great many
men and women is the memory of the
Bath brick and emery stone wherewith
knives and forks, and pans and kettles,
and other kitchen articles we're at stated
times secured up" That primitive
mode prevails te-day in thousands of
families who have never used Sapolio.-
But once let Sapolio be used for this pur
pose and that housewife never wants
Bath brick or emery stone any more. Sa-
polio not only scours off all rust and tar
nish, it brightens, ,bestows polish as bril-
liantas new, and does it in one-tenth the
time required by any other substance
Sold everywhere. Housekeepers try it.

age to sell such elegant suits at Sc pants
75c, &c, &c, at prices advertised by him.
1t is simply way he has, and, judging
from the extent of his sales. there must be
a great many trying to solve the problem
"Quick sales and small profits" is his
motto. 1t is an old one, but it is the phi
losopher's stone to business success.
The SroCK LAw.-The Ohio stock
law is pretty rigid, making The owners
of stock liable for all damage done by
it. No person is required to fence
against stock, but it is matter of the
utmost importance to owners that they
keep their stock off other peoples
premises. Under the law trespassing
stock can be taken in execution to pay
costs and damages without reference to
homestead exemptions. The law, how
ever, does not authorize person to kill
OF injure animals that trouble them
On the contrary, persons who kill or
maim stock, even when tresspassing,
subject themselves to heavy penalties,

Monroe County Wool.

The wool clip is calculated by buyers
to be about 100000 this year, in Mon
roe county.
Of this amount $1,000 pounds have
been sold at an average of AZ cents ;
one lot sold at Al cents, which is the
highest price paid this year.
The amount remaining unsold, per-
haps $4,000 pounds, will not likely
bring prices much above the average of
that already disposed of.
