Il As Mr.. Cowan said in his article las
week, speaking ofa Business Mems Clut
or Board of Trade, there can be but on
opinion. We should like to hear frou
others and especially would like to se
such an organization consummated a
once. What say you, gentlemenf
VA son of Mr.. Monfort, started from hi
home on Elm Greek, to 60 to Humbold
one day this week and got lost in SNOW
storm. Mr.. Monfort becoming alarmed
got some Of the neighbors, and startet
in search of his son. After long hun
they found him safe in bed at Mr.. John
sons.
In the case of Joseph Rock, arrested
on the complaint of Snyder, charged will
the theft of q set of harness, whose pre-
liminary examination came up before
Justice Boyd last Monday, the defend
ants attorney. Mr.. J. H. Richards
moved to discharge on account of lack O.
evidence to convict-which was done.
The success with which our friend
Northrup has met with in the dry good.
business is q matter in which we find
much to praise. Few young men would
settle down into business in the prudent
and careful manner which he has done.
In his success we find much to rejoice
over and shall be glad to chronicle still
greater prosperity.
The careful, prudent, and yet enter.
prising business men of a community,
are, after all, the life of trade. Such a
firm, for instance, as Messrs. Henderson
& Root, attract trade and hold it. The
success they have met with has been a
source of great pleasure to their hosts of
friends, and in commencing a new year,
THE REGISTER wishes them we'll for 1879.
An accident, probably fatal in termi-
nation, happened At Geneva last Monday.
Mr.. Edward Alien while driving along
the road met a1sfher team apparently
s%ay In attempting to stop
them Ne yas thrown backward to the
groxhd and it was feared. at the time
our Informant left, that his neck was
broken. We have heard nothing further
since Tuesday.
The house of Mr.. H. L. Trumbuil, on
the north fork of Deer Greek was burned
Sunday night witball it's contents. Its
that the honse caught from a
pine box containing hot ashes set outside
he building. The family barely escaped
With their Hives. We are not reliably
informed in regard to insurance but
hink it was not insured. The loss is a
evere one, and carries its own moral
lever to set an ash box near the house
1t ia a pleasure for us to note the sue
.ess of our merchants and no one can
md does rejoice more heartily over their
trade than THE REGISTER
md mention can particularly be made
# Messrs. Cowan & Ireland-One of the
most pleasant places to trade in Allen
county. A little more persistence in
would place this firm at the
lead in this portion of the State, for
Vhen once their acquaintance is made
heir customers stay.
Last week in speaking of our home
lechanics we said that work could be
one as cheapIy and as we'll here as in
Eastern cities. We are again reminded
f this fact by noticing the excellent
Gork turned out by Mr.. Namendorf. In
is line we consider him a master work
nan and one who has done as good work |
3 is possible to do. We are glad to see
hat his success is SO great and hope he
'ill continue to deserve the prosperity
e now enjoys.
Through carelessness We neglected to
,ention that County Attorney elect, w.
I. Slavens and family. moved up to lola
.st week. Mr.. S. has moved into Mrs.
lays house on Walnut street. The
1nion; in speaking of the change says
lr. and Mrs. Slavens. by their kind and
miable dispositions, .endeared them
lives to all our people, who are reluct-
Mt to part with them. To their new
ONE they carry the good wishes of their
ANY Humboldt friends.
1t may be little bit "clannish," but
e cannot help warmer feeling for our
d.time residents; men who have for
ears been among us apd shared alike
and troubles incident to new
,untries. And ipdireeting attention to
lch businessman ssMr. J. F. Colborn
one who bas all bis material interests
stake il the gpowth and continued up
hiding of ouy county, it is with pride ,
'at we nosstheir success. No one can

Re to trade at Colborn's. !
