Died.

In Jackson Township Green county, on
Monday, September 90, 1875, Mrs. Mary
L. Upham, consort of Cyrus Upham,
Esq.-aged 36 years, two months and
three days.
Mrs. Upham was born in the state of
New York in the year A. D. 1889, where
she resided until removing to this State a
number of years ago with her husband.
During the past seven years she has been
a constant sufferer from a malady that
knew no abatemen, and in her Affections
she evinced great patience and resigns
ton, and was seldom, if ever, heard to
complain of her lot. For the past eigh-
teen months she has been confined to
her room, a helpless invalid, but she had
all the care and attention that q loving
husband, a dutiful sor, and a faithful
nurse were capable of giving, and the
universal esteem and sympathy of friends
and neighbors. But better than all be-
sides, she recognized Jesus as her friend
and complete Savior. About fourteen
years ago she embraced religion, and be-
came a member of the United Brethren
Church, and lived a consistent Christian
adornmg her profession by a godly life.
On Monday at about two O'Clock the mes
senger came and released herfrom suffer
ing, bearing her safely through the val,
ley of the shadow of death to d celestial
cline that is free from sorrow and pain.
Peace to her dust. "Thanks be to God
who giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ" n

Free & Morse.

Some ten years ago Mr.. A. j. Free
started in business on the corner of High
Street and Broadway. He did a coed
business for several years it being i'm.
mediately after the war when the soldiers
were returning with plenty of money and
everything was rushing along at a rapid
speed. In 1867 Mr.. E. A. Morse came
here and bought a share in his establish
ment and since then the firm has been
known as Free & Morse. They have
kept and added to the good trade which
Mr.. Free had built up and have many
customers in various parts of the county.
They are known as good square business
men and pleasant fellows to deal with,
and in addition have one of the best bus
mess locations in town. Besides this
they keep on hand at all times a good as
sortment of articles in their line, and if
anything is wanted which they do not
happen to have in stock they procure it
on short notice. They deal in General
Merchandise including Dry Goods, Cloth
ing, Dress Goods, Groceries, Boots, Shoes,
Hats, Caps, &C., &c. Their motto is
quick sales and small profits, and they
find it pays to stick to the text. Any of
our readers wishing anything in their
line will do well to call and examine the
stock and prices of these gentlemen.

Mr.. EDITOR =
l find in the Independent of the 23d, an
article over the nom de plume of "Jubi-
lum," that for bare-faced falsehood, and
personal abuse, would be hard to equal.
There are so many statements in it that
are utterly false, that I feel it my duty to
reply, that the public may know the
truth.
In the first place "Jubilum" says that l
have stated publicly that I knew nothing
about the coming of these lecturers until
their arrival here. This is not true; l
neuer made arg such statement. 1t is not
only untrue, but silly, for any one that
reads the CHRONICLE could have known
more than two weeks previous to the lee
lures that Rev. J. P. Stoddard was COM
ing. Ihave frequently stated that I did
not know that Mr.. E. Ronayne was COM
ing till after Mr.. Stoddard was here. Mr..
Stoddard, after he arrived in town, re-
ceived q letter from Mr.. Ronayne stating
that he would try and meet him here.
This was the first that any one, here, at
least, knew Of the coming Of Mr.. Ronayne.

Man Found Dead!

Last Sunday morning a woman while
driving some cattle to pasture in a small
grove about 3 miles Southeast of Mon
tour, in Indian Village township was hor-
riied at seeing hanging from a tree be-
hind the bank of the creek, a part of the
skeleton of a man-the head and a por-
ton of the spinal column, the balance
of the remains having wasted away and
fallen to the ground. She gave the alarm
and Coroner Bielby was at once notified,
who went to the place and held an in
quest. Edwin Taplin, John Fife and ].
W. Hayward were summoned as Jurors,
who after hearing the evidence returned
a verdict that the remains were those of
Oscar L. Fosberg, a Swede, who had
been working on a farm in Highland
township for VIM. Scott, and that he had
committed suicide. 1t is supposed that
a disappointment in love affairs was the
prime cause which had prompted him to
commit the rash act. 1t was developed
on examination that he had owned land
in Sullivan county, Mo. The remains
were buried in the cemetery at Montour
by direction of the o

the Farm, the Orchard, the Kitchen, the
Garden, the Mechanic, the Artist. and in
fact all the good citizens of Tama are in

there is not a chance for improvement
in the many branches of industry pur-
sued in our county. Let every one turn
out and do all they can to make it a grand
success. The other two fairs in the
County have been almost entire failures
On account of the very unpleasant wealth

turn out and have one successful fair in

ported abroad that the stockholders will
be required to pay one dollar for family

that there is not one word of truth in it.

NEW LUMBER YARD.-A new lumber
yard has just been started at Toledo, neal
the depot by Messrs. J. P. Henry & Co.
The Co" is Judge T. A. Graham, OF
Toledo, whom everybody in Tama county
is acquainted with and who is known as
aIgood frst-class businss man. As com
petition is the life Of trade we have no
doubt but there will be a great deal more
lumber sold in Toledo than ever hereto
fore. There is a class of people who
seem to have an idea that all business
men are rogues and if any branch of bust
ness is represented by one house only,
that that house is making lots of money
and swindling its custo4ers, butt tho. is
there are two or more houses engaged in
a business they are more certain to regu-
late prices and do better for the commu-
nifty. This may be true in some cases,
but ordinarily it don't ''pan out" worth a
cent, ami yet We are satisfied that two
houses in the same branch or business
will almost if not quite, invariably do
more business tAan n house, and hence
We are of the opinion that there will be
more lumber sold in Toledo the, coming
year than in any previous year.

T steless III edicines.

A prominent New York physician lately com
planned to DUNDAS DICK 4 CO about their
Sandaiwood Oil Capsules, stating that sometimes
they cured miraculously, but that Il patient of his
had taken them without effect. On being inform
ed that several limitations were sold. he inquired
and found his patient had not been takeing Dnn-
das Dick q Co.'S
What happened to this physician may have hap
pened to Others. and Dundas Dick & Co. take this
method of protecting physicians. druggists and
themselves, and preventing Oil Of Sondalwood
from coming into disrepute.
Physicians who once prescribed the Capsules
will continue TO do so. for they contain the pure
oil III the best and cheapest form.
DUNDAS DICK & 20. use more Oil Of Sandal
wood than all the Wholesale and Retail Druggists
and Pcrfumers in the United States combined. and
this is the sole reason why the pure oil is sold
cheaper in their Capsules than in any other form.
OIL OF sANDALWooD is fast superseding
every other remedy, sixty Capsules only being re,
quired to insure a sale and certain cure in six or
eight days. From no other medicine can this re.
suit be had.
DUNDAS DICK & CO. S SOFT CAPSULES solve
the problem, long considered by eminent physi
clans. of how to avoid the nausea and disgust ex-
perienced in swallowing, which are well known tC
detract from. il not destroy, the good effects OF
many valuable remedies.
Soft Capsules are put up in tin-foil and nea
boxes, thirty in each, and are the only Capsules
prescribed by physicians.

those things you want as cheaply
as possible. At my store at the:
