Printers and preachers are in luck
this year. Our farmer friends have such
magnificent crops of fruit and cereals
that the p. and p. have full larders all
the time.
We have an overstock of bill head
and statement paper upon which we will
print appropriate headings at very low
rates. By ordering job work now you
will get it very cheap.
Stevenson is daily in receiptof addi-
tions to his magnificent stock Of notions,
wall paper, perfumeries, soaps, staple
drugs, etc. Hardly day passes without
his receiving something new. 1w
MIR. Jas. Townsend left US some of
the finest peaches we have seen this year
last Monday. Two of the largest weighed
eleven ounces. The variety he had for
gotten but of the first rate quality we
can affirm thereof
The pleasanton Observer not content
with twelve columns of tax list, screams
sIf as statistics tell US there are two gal
Ions of whisky drank each year by every
male adult, who in the name Of Patrick
Henry is guzzling our share.
And here is another. T. n. Fun.
ston, of Geneva township, brought US in
a few red Bermuda sweet potatoes that
blocked up the doorway. Without ex-
aggeration, they were the finest looking
lot Of potatoes We have seen this year.
Out in Marmaton township last Sat
urday the wind storm blew over J. A.
stable and tore up and
broke down his orchard badly. Mrs.
McGuires orchard was badly injured and
all of her out-buildings blown down. |
We were mistaken in regard to the
Commissioner districts last week. The
first district is the one in the southern
part of the county. The third district
is the one in which we thing we can guess
the nominee of the Republicans.
MIR. Thomas Morgan was quite scri>
ously hurt in little runaway in lot
near Ellis & Eshbaughs ice house last
Monday morning. He was thrown from
q wagon and his ankle was 40 badly |
sprained that he will be compelled to
keep the house for week or 90.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. r. Berry made US q
pleasant call yesterday. Mrs. Berry left
US pailful of nice grapes, and Mr.. Ber-
~ some fine peaches. One of the
peaches only weighed II ounces, which is
way ahead of anything received IS yet.
Come again, friends, and may your
shadows never grow less.
The smart man of the Oil City Der
rick gets of this: Lightning struck q
hive of bees in Kansas, the other day.
The painful story is soon told. The
lightning came out of that
hive quicker than it went in, and went
of with its tail between its legs. Moral:
Never pick quarrel when you are not
with the folks.
MIR. g. W. Apple brought into The
>ofiee this week a number Of
corn large enough for roasting
,ars that Vas planted on the 18th day Of
Jphe last. It was just sixty one days
rom the time the seed was put in the
ground until the ears referred to were
picked. He wants to know if any
granger" can beat It.
I'm to-day's paper Mr.. Chas. A. La
rim announces himself for Register of
Deeds, subject to the decision of the Re-
publican. Convention. Mr.. Lakin is q
Toung man Of unimpeachable character,
! number one business man, good
'cribe and is strong candidate. He has
,een q resident of our county for q
number of years and il we'll and deser-
'edly liked and if he should be nomina-
ed will be elected.
We notice the delinquent tax lists,
published in adjoining counties, are
bout twice - large As the published
list Of Anderson county. We will wager
! picayune that there il not county in
he State where taxes are g promptly
md closely paid up - in Andenon.-l
0Gynelt Pl0iadealF.
We raise that picayune one better that
he tax list Of this county was smaller
han that of Andar.on
