- We are little afraid that the Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
qnirer, who writes over the signature of
"Comus," is disposed to make little sport
at the expense of the people of cur cOun-
ty, on account of the antiquated style and
the peculiar effects resulting from the lib
critics the gusts" sometimes take with the
smoke-flues of our honOred temple of JUS
tice, where so much law and justice has
been dealt out to honest men and the other
class of fellows during the past fifty years.
The writer says: x
"In regard to this old Court House, we
think the farmers and citizens generally
withstood severe test last Saturday as to
whether they would replace it with a new
one or still endure the present one. The
room was crowded with people from all
parts Of the county, who were watching in
tently the progress of q very important
/ trial, when suddenly old Boreas, who had
been capering all morning took tact and
waited his gentle zephyrs down the Chin
ney flues, and the SCOT and smoke drove to
the street every one within, and b ad there
been a paper circulated at that time we
think there would have been an adequate
amount Of money subscribed to have erect
| ed a large and substantial Courthouse; at
least the farmers so expressed them
| selves"

We will, on Monday, March %, inaugu-
rate the Cash System in our Boot and; Shoe
Store, believing it to be the only true bus
-iness system. We feel confident that the
customers of shoe leather can save from
25 to so per cent. in buying for cash. We
propose to sell at small profit make it
the advantage of everybody to buy from
us or get our prices. We have fine line
of Spring goods which we have bought for
cash and propose to sell for cash only. 1t
is the general opinion that the Credit sys-
| tenn is of the past and that the customers
| must pay the enormous salaries of book
keepers and to make up for bad debt,
which every credit store must make. We
have no book keepers, no clerks hire to
pay, and we invite all to call and examine
goods, get our prices, see what we adver-
tise is no catch penny. We have replen-
ished our Cheap Table with some extraor.
dinary lowpriced shoes, which we will sci

Strange but True.

There is no person living but what suf-
fers more or less with Lung diseases,
Coughs, Colds or Consumption; yet some
will die rather than pay seventy-ive cents
for bottle of medicine that would cure
them. DIR. A. Boschee's German Syrup
has long been known in this world, and its
WOndrous cures astonish every one that
tries it. If you doubt what we say in print,
call on your druggists, Geo. Goldsberry &
Co., Washington C. H., Ohio, and get a
sample bottle free of charge, or regular
size for 70 cents.

- Some unprinciplsd IDIOT has been
imposing upon the Cinqinnati Gazette.
For instance, we find the following item in
the Gazette of the 11th iEst., which we
give below as we find it:
WASHINGTON c. l., o., Mch. IL.
Five saloons open t is morning. The
excitement is intense. The women are in
consultation.
This statement is Base falsehood. No
saloons have been opened here since the
closing up of Passmore's, Beck's and Sui
livan's liquor establishments. The state
ment is made with a view to giving ou
an impression that the woman's effort t.
suppress the liquor traffic in this place is
| failure.

JOSEPH WILSON ELLIOTT, was bora on
the 18th day of Feb, 1894, and removed
from Pennsylvania with his parents to
Ross county, Ohio, in 1897. when but three
years old. He lost his father in 1909, when
but fifteen years old. In 1914, when but
twenty years old, he removed with his
mother to Fayette county, Ohio. In 1887
he was married to Mrs. Almyra Holmes,
who survives him.
Left at the tender age Of fifteen years
without the care and counsel of father,
it is remarkable that he then formed those
habits of candor and uprightness that fol-
lowed and governed him in all his trans
actions with his fellow men ever after He
was an active, energetic worker in the anti
slavery cause from its inception, and
many painting fugitive gave him his part
ing blessing when he gave him material
aid and bid him God speed on his way to a
land of freedom. Mr.. Elliott has often
been heard to express his gratitude that he
lived to see slavery abolished in his native
land; and he advocated the temperance and
all other reforms of his generation. OF
Joseph W. Elliott, we-all WHO knew him
ARE constrained to say, he was an honest
man,-the noblest work of God"
On the 9th of March, 1874, at Blooming
| ingburg, Ohio, after a career of eighty
years and eighteen days, it is confidently
hoped he entered upon his rest. B.

without exception, have recovered usual
health, most of whom have returned to
