Having bought out the well known store
of the late D. II. Murray, we shall con-
tinue to carry on the business on the same
terms and principles. We shall always
have good line Of goods and shall sell
them at reasonable prices. We shall be
ready at all times to trade and buy any
thing in the shape Of produce and in fact
any thing the farmers may bring to US,
and shall try and keep up the reputation
at the old stand and make it, as it has al
ways been, the Farmers Store. We shall
be prepared to lpy and handle stock at
all times, and shall still continue to keep
our meat market at the store and sell
meats at as low prices as we can and live.
We have the best line of Mems, Boys and
Youths clothing in the county and will
sell them at small profit. We hope by
treating our customers and the public
honorably and with courtesy, to merit

ness. Ladies, who have husbands,
glrls who have brothers and friends,
let us do all we can to influence
those who are dear to us; do not
say that your influence Is of no val
ue, 1t may be small, but by perse.
verance and prayer there has been
much accomplished. Examples are
often followed. Can u lady expect
her brother to refuse wine if sho

Investigated would prove to be a

Council Meeting.
Prom our Special Reporter, ]

From our Special Reporterl
1t is our pleasing duty TO Inform
our readers that by a gigantic ef-
fort Of will-power, our city fathers
have again met in solemn concIave,
and knowing that our said readers
are waiting with bated breath to
learn their proceedings, We hasten
to lay before them full and COM
plcte report of the proceedings of
that illustrious body. And while
the meeting is being called to or
der, let us take a glance at the per-
sonel of the body.
There for instance, is our worthy
Mayor, James Liston, a man who
came into this county SIX years ago,
poor and iriendless, but who has
80 conducted himself, that the peo.
pie have hcaped honors high upon
his head; have made HIM Mayor,
and lately raised him to the high
and honorable Office of Justice of
the Peace. Indeed the meeting
was called to enable him to enter
upon the duties of his new office.
A feeling of sadness seemed to per-
wade the whole body, as they re.
called the fact that hc was soon to
be no longer q member of their
body, and our worthy Marshal was
seen to shed tears, as he reflected
that probably never again would
he hear James say unto him, "The
fine is tin dollars, Mr.. Marshall,a and
the costs, and be dom certain to get
the costs, moind now" On our
Mayors right sat our worthy Re-
cordcr, Mr. Ah-Soy Blackwood, a
living example of what a position
even heather chinee may attain
in this glorious free country ofours.
Mr.. Blackwood never misses a
meeting, though it has been sug-
gested that the Cause of 1t is, that
he gcts a dollar for every meeting
he attends, and an alderman gets
nothing, but then every man has
his slandercrs. Judge L. A. Gar
lick, is another honored member of
our council. Tho people have
shown their appreciation of his
character by clcc,ing hlm County
and Probate Judge. And right
here we wish TO say that We do no.
The Osceola times., 1880-10-02
Our Senator.

The career Of Hon. John b. Dri-
yer, senator elect of this district,
has been remarkable one. Ten
years ago, when we first camc to
this county, he was an ignorant,
illiterate young fellow, who went
around in q checked shirt and but.
tefnut pantaloons, upheld by a
solitary bed-tlck suspender. Then
In 1872 he turns up as sheriff of the
county, puts on store clothes, and
held that Office until 1878, when he
was defeated by a combination, by
plurality, not a majority, of thirty
three votes. Men who knew sena-
tor John when he was what is pop
ularly called shirt.tallcd boy,
many of them, lack faith in his
ability to sustain himself in his new
position. Featherheads and dead
heads who feel themselves to be
unappreclated and overlooked, and
who have adopted craftsmanship as
thoir peculiar line, say "Senatah
John is good clever tellah. but
wofullah unfit for the position Of
senator" But who ever knew q
fool or an lgnoramus to say, al
believe l will take seat IN the
senate" and then take it. Gently
removing all opposition in his way.
taking a full hand IN local politics,
while he carefully put the senator
ship in his trunk under lock and
key, and marked it, "John b. Dri.
yer, Presented by the people of the
Goth senatorial district with their
compliments" The truth is, John
B. Driver is a posver in this county,
built upon ability, honesty, veraci-
ty and fidelity to friends. We pre-
dict that he will mako his mark in
the senate as an efficient, useful
member, and rise yet higher in the
field of politics. Let principle and
fdeliy be your guiding star, John,
and you will find the obscurity of
your early life and neglected edu-
cation, cannot always be used as
an argument against You. Be true
to the people, seek favor from them,
and your cnvious enemies will in
the future, as in the past, squirm
like worms in the hot ashes to no
purpose; You have the game in
your own hands now play it hon.
estly and with an unselfish devo-
ton to the people, and the croak-
ing of few frogs will not be mis-
takened for the voice of the people.
