One of the largest and most prosper
Gus Sunday Schools that was report

the rest of the schools have done pref

schools in the township. We were
informed by brother Lee that the BIZ

for which we ought to praise God
from whom all blessings flow.
The most interesting exercise of the

CENTER TOWNSHIP ELEcTIoN.-All
the noisy part Of the proceedings of
election day In Upton seemed to be in
regard to township officers. The high
and mighty position Of town clerk or
constable appeared to have become the
goal of human existence. Gentlemen
with professional honors thick upon
them threw dignity to the winds and
sought the bubble, public Office, land
very small ones at that,l even ut the
mouth of the cannon, we were
about to say, but it wasn't; 1t was on
the curbstone with open mouth.
Then again came the doughty war
riors who had some real or imngin-
ary personal injury to avenge. These
aired their tribulations by many words
and with lingering grasp beeought
the public to scratch Tom, Dick or
Harry, and see justice done even
through the heavens fell.
Well, the noise has all passed and
gone, the votes are poiled and count
ed-the latter taking till three o'clock
yesterday p. m.-and the heavens are
not down yet. The result is the elec-
ton of the entire Republican ticket
except II. Pritchard for Clerk and for
]. p, by the following vote:
The Tipton advertiser., 1876-11-09

In ORDER to sustain the reputation
that VIC have worked for, it was nee.
essary for us to buy very heavy this
fall, for we we're satisfied II we offer
ed the best goods for the least money
that there is nothing to prevent us
from doing the largest business in
the county which will be to the ad-
vantage Of our customers as well as
to ourselves. Our stock is not only
larger but select aud the only way
you can form any idea of what we are
selling and what we have to sell is to
call aud see for yourself. We are
going to sell more goods this fall
than we ever sold, and the way
we are going to do it is by selling
better goods cheaper. We know ii
we sell good goods cheap, that we
can get the patronage of the people,
and if they will call and see US we
will do what we say. Come on, you
will always find US ready and willing
to val, on yon, it is nothing but a
pleasure to show you goods, especial
ly such goods as we have. We like
for you to ask our prices for we know
we can name them lower than any
one.

The most extensive dealer in boots
and shoes, in Upton is II. L. Dean of
City Hall shoe store, who also deals in
Butter and Eggs. Mr.. Deans trade Is
constantly increasing which is brought
about by strict attention to business
promptness in waiting on his custom,
ers. low prices, fair dealings and
giving his own labor and personal
attention to the business. We cordially
invite all our customers wanting any
thing in his line to give him a call,
guaranteeing that they will buy cheap
er and as good quality lof goods than
at any other place in the town.
The Tipton advertiser., 1876-11-09

This is the year when people want
cheap goods. What we mean by
cheap goods are those that will wear
well and give satisfaction for small
sum of money. The City Hall Shoe
Store is prepared to furnish you with
all you want. They will make you
satisfied with the prices you pay and
will guarantee satisfaction on all the
goods you buy from them. Their Gus
toners always go out pleased with what
they get and are sure to come back when
they want anything else in the boot
and shoe line.
The Tipton advertiser., 1876-11-09

We still have the lead in the boot and
shoe business In this section of the
and as we have it we are going
to keep it. We are bound to sell our
goods, and have marked them down 80
low that they are within the reach Of
all. The people must have boots and
shoes, and they know that 81. L. Dean
sells them cheaper than any oas-for
that reason they get them at the City
Hall Shoe Store. Is is without any
doubt the cheapest place IN Upton to
get boots and shoes,

SUMMARY.

Fourteen pupils were enrolled twice.
Hence the whole number of different
pupils enrolled was 348. The High
School had the highest per cent. Of at
tendance, but the lowest per cent. Of
punctuality. This has been caused by
= few pupils. One was tardy Is times.
Two of one family q times, and two
of another family l3 times. Thus four
pupils made 81 tardies while the other
sixty-four made but 81 tardies.
The First Primary had the highest
per cent. ofpunctuality the first month
but the Second Primary has the high
est the second month. Patrons are
invited to visit the schools, especially
if they have any grievances; for nine
cases out Of ten arise through mis-
understanding Of the children, and
can be satisfactorily settled il parents
will do us the honor to ask an expla-
nation.

QTIET.-Although the crowd was
large and party feeling ran high on
Tuesday, the election in this precinct
passed off with comparative good or
der and quietude. One victim to too
much beer went with the Marshal to
the calaboose; and several others, who
wanted to ''bet a keg of beer on MUIR
ply" tried to carry the entire stake
around with them, which made them
a trifie boisterous and unsteady.

maxim was never better illustrated
than in the use of ID. b. DeLand &

the best in the world, and the pur-
chaser gets full equivalent for the

POORLY prepared for fighting was
that manned Confederate soldier who
was in town Tuesday soliciting aims.
Minus one leg, a shoulder from which
bullet was extracted two months
ago, and crippled hand-he prefaced
his plea for aid by saying that he got
no pension; he knew he didn't de-
serve any, but he needed it all the
same. And SO the poor fellow did,
