In striking contrast to this has been
the growth of the foreign commerce of
the United States. While the carrying
capacity of American bottoms has grown
less and less every year, the demand
upon it has grown rapidly greater, and
has been responded to by foreign ship
owners. The growth in the export trade
of the United States has been enormous,
particularly within the last decade. In
1890 the value of domestic exports from
the United States was $19,666,OOO; in
1900, $31, 840,903; in 1910, $40, 366, 675;
in 1920, $51 $685. $40; in 1880, 1853, 462,-
029; in 1910, $113895,634; in 1850,
$136 946,9 12; in 1860, 1878, 1924; in
1870, $42O,5O0,275.
Now mark the progress for the last
eight years:
1871 1862 51S 651 1875 $643 094 767
1872. .... $40, 21971S 1876 ........ GA $50, 406

1874. 500, 032 054I1678 722611 ,815
The lack of increase, and the falling
off during the depressed condition Of
American industries from 1873 to 1876,
will be noticed; as returning prosperity
is shown in the exports for 1877 and
1878.
Of the total exports last year, $751;
743,327 was carried in foreign vessels,
while only $159,772,7 100 was carried in
vessels of American build.
The following are the principal ar
ticles of export, none being taken from
the long list, of which the value ex-
ported last year did not exceed $1,000
900.

1t is fact that no one will deny, that every
thing is gradually going up in price, from pig
iron to dry goods, groceries, clothing, &C. When
resumption was reached, on the first day of
January last, the bottom prices were reached
and then, permanence in business was
reached, prices began, gradually, to go up
wards. Prices will increase, not very rapidly,
but just in proportion to the increase of general
prosperity.
Our object in the foregoing is to show the wis
dom of buying your clothing before prices get
higher. Washam & Co. were shrewd enough
to buy an immense stock when prices were at
the bottom, and they can sell these goods now
for less money than new goods can be bought
for, and still make small profit. When goods
are going down, it is wisdom to wait as long as
possible; when they going up, as they now
are, it is wisdom to buy at once. aug14-4w

That onions and whisky had taken a "boom."

FAULKNER.-William Faulkner, the subject
of this memoir, was the son of Daniel and Nam
cy Faulkner, and was born on the 9th day OF
October, 1910, in Mason county, West Virginia,
and died on the 18th day of August, in the year
1879, after long and painful Illness which he
bore with meezness, and perfect submission to
the will of his Heavenly Father. Mr.. Faulkner
was afflicted with cancer, which had so affected
his lips that for several weeks previous to his
death he was unable to take any nourishment
whatever. The deceased brought by his
parents to Ohio when he was but one year old,
and settled in Greenfield township, GaIlia
county, Ohio, and afterwards removed into
Madison township, where he has since resided,
within three miles of the old homestead, up to
the time of his decease.
William Faulkner was married to Rebekah
Reed daughter of the late James Reed, of Oak
Hill on the Sth day of March, 1892 and she
still survives him. OF large family of chill
dren, hut four remain, three sons and one
daughter. He was of Scotch-Ir Irish descent, his
father was a native of Ireland and his mother
of Scotland. For six months prior to his being

When man was placed upon the earth, he
was governed by circumstances, like other ami
mails. His first want was food; this was sup
piled by fruit. His second want was clothing :;
this the fig leaves supplied. Mans nature is
the same now as it was then, although he has
advanced greatly beyond the fig leaf period.
What difference it makes in a man or boy
to put decent, fashionable clothing upon him.
1t is the prime necessity, second only to food.
You will find great clothing stores in all
cities and towns, and one of the largest and
best in Southern Ohio is that of P. H. Washam
d Co., in Jackson, where you can get anything
in the way of clothing which you desire or
need. 14aug4t

points. 1t is made of steel, and can be slipped
upon any old worn out cast iron point, and is

and see it,
