The County Paper.

Says on exchange 1t is the best read
paper in the world. No other contains
news of the marriages and deaths, to say
nothing of the divorces and births; no
other relates the accidents happening be-
fore the doors of the villagers; no other
gives the time of the next ball, picnic,
or political meeting; nc other discusses
the affairs of the town and county, the
arrival of new goods On the merchants
counters, OF a new hat on the editors
desk. Occasionally defects and errors
are overlooked by those who have be-
come attached to it through its perusal
for years. They sometimes become dis
satisfied with it ON account of something
which has slipped into it's columns, and
may stop taking it; but the absence of
the familiar sheet at their homes and
Office for a few weeks becomes an insur-
m~ountable privation and they hasten to
take it again, and possibly apologize for
having it stopped. No friendship ON
earth is more constant than that con-
tracted by the reader of a journal which
makes an honest and earnest effort to
merit its continued support. Hence q
conscientiously conducted paper becomes
a favorite in the family.

THE Great Boom"

Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine will long be
remembered as the time when all kinds of busi-
ness and financial prosperity seemed to spring
into new life. Merchants are finding plenty of
ready customers for their wares, mechanics meet
with ready employment at fair wages, and the
farmers are receiving advanced prices for their
products, and 1t is acknowledged by all that In no
part of our country are the evidences of prosper
ity and comfort so marked as along the entire
line of the "Old Reliable" Hannibal d st Joseph
Railroad. And to attain these results the man
agement of the Hannibal & st Joseph Railroad
have given their careful thought and attention,
and the rapid growth OF business, and Increasing
wealth OF the community along the whole line are
evidences that their efforts are fully appreciated.
We are, as usual, running In connection with the
Chicago, Burlington &.Quincy Railroad through
Day Coaches, Reclining Chairs (free.) and Pull
man Sleeping Cars from Chicago via Quincy to
Missouri river points. ALSO through Day Coaches
from Toledo and Indianapolis, with Pullman Sleep
Ing Cars from Toledo via Danville, Springfield
and Quincy, to Kansas City, Atehison and st.
Joseph without change. Families travelling with
children will find 1t greatly to their comfort to
take the "Old Reliable" II. &. st. 10. r. B., as no
changes or transfers are made.

Health and Happiness.

1t seems strange that any one will
suffer from the many constitutional de-
rangements brought on by an impure
state of the blood, when GUY5oTT's
YELLOW Dock AND SARsAPARILLA will
restore perfect health and physical or
~ganization. 1t is indeed a strengthen
ing cordial, pleasant to take, and has
proven itself to be the best blood puri-
fer ever discovered, efectually curing
Sc~rofula, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness
of the Kidneys, all Nervous disorders
and Debility. 1t corrects Indigestion.
1t makes the old feel young, and the
young feel gay, and will Invariably
drive out Of the system the many ills
that human flesh and blood is heir to.
Price of the large quart bottle with full
directions, $1.00. A single bottle will
prove to you its merits as a health re-
newer, for it acts like q charm, especi-
ally when the complaint is of an ex-
haustive nature, having a tendency to
lessen the natural vigor Of the Brain
and Nervous system.
Remember we keep this excellent
remedy for sale at our drug stores in
Preble county, and do most cordially
recommend 1t to our customers and all
good people generally.
Very Respectfully.

Consumption can be Cured.

In this changeable climate Of ours
every one should remember that WIS
TAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY has
proven itself to be a positive cure for
Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, and
all lung diseases. 1t has saved the
lives of many ven after all hope had
fled. Many Of our mostintelligent fam
lilies would as soon be without WOODEN
clothing in winter, as to not have Wis
tar's Balsam always on hand, for it
never fails to Immediately relieve all
soreness of throat and lungs. A single
dose taken at bed time will cause re-
freshing slumber, and by morning an
ordinary cough or cold will be gone.
Ask your druggist and your friends
concerning the merit of Wistar's Bal
sam, and be wise in time. Price of
largo pint bottle, $1.00. N. B.-None
genuine without signature of Sanford
s. Park, on outside wrapper.
Remember we keep this excellent
remedy for sale at our drug stores in
Preble county, and do most cordially
recommend 1t to our customers and all
good people generally.

Mayors Court.

Mayor ABBOTT kept open house at the
Mayors office ON New Years day. Mi
chael Ryan, with his usual urbanity, act
ing as usher, and received callers as fol-
lows:
John Bostwick charged with carrying
concealed weapons, fined So and costs.
George Holland charged with assault
with intent to wound, was discharged.
The Mayor made him a New Years ad-
dress upon the improperly of carrying
a razor concealed upon his person, de-
nouncing it to the barber as a barberous
custom.
John Donohoe waltzed in as well as he
could under the load he was carrying
and submitted to a fine of S. and costs
for the non-payment of which Sheriff
Snyder is now boarding him.

NAL and attractive lustre through the
common civilities of every day life.
There is a superlative grandeur in
h great luxuriant natures, which a
true education has developed into
strong, active sympathetic men and
women. You cannot by any device
add to the grace Of motion which be-
longs to the swaying willow. The
carefully studied arts of politeness,
taught with the chilly precision of an
exact science, in the crisp atmosphere
of fashion, are but cold forms COM
pared with the heartfelt emotions
which sparkle in the kindling eye or
tremble upon the earnest lip. The
highest value of a teachers work de-
ponds upon its shaping positive fore
es for good. Our free educational
system will reach the Towering point
of its highest success only when it
turns out into the world mon and wo-
men not merely of high, strong, in
tellectual, but of moving %efectual
moral force.
Why, as years roll away, does Spur
geon still stand the center of attrac-
ton, drawing to himself thousands of
every rank and every class? His
speech is plain Anglo Saxon. His IL
Illustrations are drawn from flaming
FORCES, where sturdy arms beat out
'labor's anvil chorus )" from fields
where farmers are sowing seed, from
stricken homes where pale mothers
bend over the couch of suffering. 1t
is the great heart of the man, warm
with tender christian sympathy, wish
ing well to his brother man the wide
world over, which to the magnet that
draws human sympathy and love in
one great unbroken current toward
him. 1t is this, and only this, the
highest results of a true education,
which caused the motley unnumbered
masses to hail him with:
eve come in one tumultuous tide.
One song of wild emotion;
As pouring thro' the Firth of Clyde,
Rolls in the western ocean,"
What shall l do? Docs any teacher
ask? In the great white harvest field
of your noble calling, inspire the
young with a high ambition for use
fulness, and send them out equipped
Intellectually, morally and physically

respect useful labor, that through it
they may probably expend the force
of their restless energies. Unseal the
springs which lie deep in every soul
and let them throw their silvery spray
over the ever opening buds of Hope.
In a word, let your own energies.
pledged to the highest good of your
pupils, quicken their resolutions to
spring forward to works Of useful
ness in life's varied departments, and
our great world will be better and
brighter and happier because you
have lived and toiled in it. Our free
educational system, surrounded by
symmetrically developed manhood
and womanhood will be safe, forever
held dear by the great working world,
upon whose broad, honest and manly
shoulders it will be triumphantly car
ried from generation to generation.

From the Rockport, Ind, BANNER:
There is no medicine in the world
which has gained such fame as ST. ia
CoBs OIL; this is, however, not in the
least astonishing, when we consider its
truly wonderful curative powers. Mr..
F. Rodenburg, of Grandview, called at
our office last week, and related the fol-
lowing circumstance: | suffered with
Rheumatism for over six years; con
suited many physicians and tried hun
dreds of remedies, but without avail.
Having seen ST. JACOBS OIL advertised
in your paper, and heard of some most
astonishing cures, l sent to Rockport
for a bottle of the On, and used it &C
cording to directions. The relief l felt
was almost electric" 1 got better at
once, and now there is not a trace OF
Rheumatism left In my body.

Council met on last Monday evening,
and as there were no 'fbosses" to vote
pay for looking at public jobs being
worked, and no new ones to appoint, the
session was brief and the business slim.
The election of a Mayor to fill the vacan-
cy created by the resignation of L.. G. ABB
bolt, was about the only important trans
action. M. L. HOLT, Esq, drew the
prize by a vote of FOUR, to n for R. w.
QUINN and one blank. Councilman Free
man objected to the election as illegal,
but he seems to know as little about it as
he does of the number Of quarters in a
year that a Prosecuting Attorney is emit
tied to a salary. We quote'from the Co.
diied laws, vol. 1, sec 1854, which went
into effect January 1st, 1880, and is GER
tainly plain enough on the question:
"In case OF the death, resignation, dis
ability, or other vacation OF his office,
the Council may, by the vote of a major
ity of all the members elected, appoint
some suitable person within the Corpo-
ration to act as Mayor and discharge the
duties of the Office until the vacancy is
filed, or the disability removed; provid-
ed, that the next annual municipal cleo
ton, occurring more than thirty days al
ter such vacancy, a Mayor shall be elect
ed for any unexpired term, unless the
disability is of a temporary character"
