GENTLEMEN: have the pleasure TO hand
you sample case of our celebrated Centen-
NAL ginger ale. We challenge the east as
well as the west to beat this manufacture in
flavor or quality. 1t is as pure and as fine as
champaign without its effect. 1t is bottled
under SO great pressure that part can be used
from it, the cork placed back and it will be as
fresh as before. Very respectfully.
GEO. Z. HARRIS.
The receipt of the case is acknowledged.
The beverage is delicious, and perfectly inno-
cent of any intoxicating qualitios Spark
ling as champaign and very healthy, 1t makes
delightful family drink.
ED. EAGLE SIR: In your lust issue you
inform Us that the Grecnlee school house is
up and finished. Rather surprising informa-
ton to his neighbors and citizens OF the same
district, as they are unable to find any such
school house on OF near his premises, or even
in the same district, bearing said name or fin
ished. In your next, hope you viii be more
definite as regard to locality and save much
inquiry. No. I.
Beg your pardon, neighbor; we suspect we
have made blunder which, you know, edit
ors are likely to do. If No. amt got school
house yet, we acknowledge our mistake and
add the wish that she may soon have. But it
did run in our mind that some one ted us that
the Greenlce school house was up and finished.

We mustn't forgot the 4th of July. Time is
drawing nigh and there's heap TO do. There
is the orator who, to follow out the President
and Governors proclamation, must give a
complete history of the county. There is the
music, cannon, flags, fireworks. and forty
other things to look after. There is the money
to raise, too. As it is to be county celebra-
ton, and as the Governor recommends one
celebration for each county, the Commission
ers ought to make slight appropriation, also
the City Council, if it can be legally DONE
Centennial Fourth comes but once in a long
time, and we must let our gran dchlIdren and
great grandchildren know when they meet one
hundred years hence, that we appreciated our
surroundings, and how will they know it ex-
cept through the proposed historical speech.
And while we think of it, we would nominate
Henry C. Sluss as orator of the day. But
whatever is done, should not be delayed.

s9Our young grocer, W. d. Ben
ham, had very narrow escape from
drowning on last Tuesday while attempt
ing to cross the Rock river near Hillsdale.
The river is very high and the ferry is
unable to run. and Dwight hired man to
take him across in skiff, which he did,
but on reaching the opposite shore he
found that the water had overfiowed a
bridge over a small creek and one which
he was obliged to cross. The man volun-
teered to carry Dwight across the bridge
on his back so that our young friend would
escape without getting wets Dwight ac-
cepted the offer with tears of gratitude in
his eyes, and he accordingly mounted the
shoulders of his guide, and the two struck
out, or rather down, for they had not pro-
ceeded many steps before the two disap,
peared through a hole in the bridge, caused
by the washing away of some of the
pianks. 1t was some time before the two
rose to the surface and then the current
carried them down nearly quarter of a
mile where the guide was rescued by a
man with long pole, and our handsome
young grocer was fished out, by young
lady who was out rowing, with boat
hook, in doing which Dwight was pulled
into the boat feet first.
