The County Dry Goods Store of New
ark, Ohio ia selling goods twelve per cent
less than any honae in Newark. Some of
the largest stores of the place att mpted TO
compete with them but soon found it was
impossible. The great secre, in their un-
derselling all houses in central Ohio is
that they buy such immense quantities
and buy for cash. While their sales will
average thousand dollars, which is cash.
The firm do strictly cash business and
by this method they have no losses from
bad accounts which if they had they
would be compelled to add to the price OF
their goods. Give the County Dry Goods
Store trial and you will save money.

The Board of Education on Tuesday en-
ployed Mr.. James Dilts as Principle of
High school and superintendent for the
coming year at one hundred dollars per
month, the same as last year. The major
ity of the Board, after duly considering the
subject, came to the conclusion that per-
haps it would be better to re-employ him
at those rates than to run the risk of get
ting q competent teacher at a lower price
inasmuch the great majority of our citi-
zens preferred him. Again, there was paid
into the School Fund last year one hun
dred and eight dollars tuition from nom
resident pupils in the High school the
greater part of which was obtained through
the influence of Mr.. Dilts. These pupils
were classed with the reside nj pupils and
il is not likely that new Superintendent
could secure the m. The vote stood fox
Dilts Messrs. Droge, Hesse, Weaver, and
Myers-Karr not being present, Wood ward
not voting, giving his reasons for not vo-
ting, that he favored employing Mr.. Dilts
but was opposed to paying him that
amount salary and at the sumo time, fell
that in the end a lower priced teache
mi ght be dearer as at present he did no
know where good teacher could be OBJ
tanned at very much lower price. Th
school will begin on the first Monday il
September next and close on the last Fri
day in September next and close on tn,
last Friday in the March following,
seven month term only. The .rest of tn
teachers will be selected at the first meet

II is the duty of all citizens to sustain
the Council in all that is right and assist
them in doing their duty, but if they do
wrong intentionally then they should be
denounced. It is natural for them to make
mistakes as they are not supposed to be in

are not doing right, We for one will say go,
but if we can be convinced that we are
wrong we will acknowlege it.

drake Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides

most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known.
they furnish convincing evidence OF
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that We need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

MEXICAN
Mustang Liniment,
FOR MAN AND BEAST.

This liriment very naturally originated in Ameri-
ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such
surprising antidotes for the malades of her chill
lral. Its fame has been spreading for 35 years,
uni. now it encircles the habitable globe.
RI Mexican Mustang Liniment is q matchless
remedy for all external ailments of man and beast.
To stock owners and farmers it is Invaluable.
4 single bottle often saves human life or re-
stores the usefulness of an excellent horse, OK,
COW, or sheep.
It cures foot-rot, hoof-ail hollow horn, grub,
screwwornl, shoulderrot, mango, the bites and
stngs of poisonous reptiles and insects and every
such drawback to stock breeding and bush life.
It cures every external trouble of horses, such
as lameness, scratches, swinny, sprains, founder,
fnd-ga1l, ring-bone, etc., etc.
The Mexican Mustang Lniment is the quickest
cure in the world for accidents occurring in the
family, in the absence of a physician, such as
burns, scalds, sprains, CUTS etc., and for rheuma
tisnn, and stiffness engendered by exposure. Par
ticularly valuable to Miners.
1t is the cheapest remedy in the world, for it
penetrates the muscle to the bone, and q single
application is generally sufficient to cure.
Mexican Mustang Liniment is put up in three
sizes of bottles, the larger ones being proportion
ately much the cheapest Sold everywhere.
