BY the table sat the political trinity,

his right eye Butler style, and carried
his pants rolled half way up his boot
legs. 1t was consequential air that
he assumed, and his exterior deport-
meut indicated that he welded vast
influence. He glanced hautily about,
and in fact, looked every inch boiler.

Our NEW COUNTY ATLAS = We
have had an'opportunity of inspecting
the New Historical and Illustrated
Atlas of Portage County, prepared and
published by Messrs. EVerts, Stewart
s. CO., and are highly pleased with
the work. 1t is far ahead in every
particular of what we had been led to
anticipate. even from an inspection of
several like jobs done by them in other
counties IN the West. The Atlas con-
tains Ii pages of general History of
the County, with about fifteen pages
of biographical sketches of prominent
citizens, living and dead, neatly print
in minion type; oyer $50 views of
public and private buildings and
grounds, and over 80 elegant Iitho-
graph portraits of well known citizens,
"a neatly colored maps of the United
States and the State of Ohio, Portage
County, and several townships, towns
and villages of the County, with q
business and personal directory. The
engraving, lithographing and letter
press work of the Atlas was done in
Philadelphia, and is in every way neat
and artistic. The County officials have
given the work critical examination,
and pronounce it complete and accu-
rate. The delivery of the Atlas to
subscribers is now in progress, having
been commenced the early part of last
week.

tors of Halls Vegetable SicilIian Hair
ReneWer, for gratWitoWs distribution.
The deservedly high reputation of
their preparation has wholly been
gained by its merits. Being free from
oil and alcohol, it has healthy action
on the scalp, restoring gray hair to its
natural color without dying it, cures
itching of the scalp, removes and pre-
vents dandruff, and will thieken up
the thin locks. Such are the benefits
which are conferred upon the con-
sumner. No one should neglect to give
