the cattle men of that State were

COURT of Common Pleas will commence
next Monday. This term will be the most
important one that has been held for
twenty years. No one has been put upon
trial for murder in the first degree since
the Winchell trial, in the year 1859. In
that case three men were tried for MUIR
der. The murdered man, Daniel Win
chen, wasthe father of one Of the accused
father-in-law of one, and uncle of the
other Judge Tripp was the Prosecuting
AAttofney, and Hoffman, Mackley & Wal
den defended. The parties were all con-
victed of manslaughter and sent to the
Penitentiary.
During the coming term Peter Becker
will be tried on an Indictment for muir
der in the first degree, for killing James
Brady. The extra jurors, witnesses and
spectators will cause many people to come
to town, and while here it would be well
to mix business with pleasure, and visit
the great store of Oliver S. Miller, and the
great tin shop of G. Graham.

Hats and Caps-Trunks and YaIises,


Jackson has great Trunk and Valise
Store, where anything in that line-from
a shawl-strap to the largest and finest
trunk, may be bought at very reasona-
BILE rate. The old-established house can
always offer superior inducements to
those of houses less familiar with the
wants of the trade of its particular local
ity. The old-established house of which
we speak is the great store of P. Fl.
Washam & Co., corner Main and Broad
way, Jackson, Ohio. And while looking
at the fine trunks and valises in this
store, do not forget that Washam & Co.
keep one Of the finest stocks of Hats and

The Clothing Trade in Jackson!

Clothing ranks next to food, in the alb.
solute necessities of the human family
In choosing food, we are wont to chose
that which is pleasant to the taste, and to
reject that which is distasteful. In choos-
ing clothing, we aim at comfort and neat
ness. The careful man never invests in
impure food. He is equally careful not
to invest in worthless, shoddy clothing.
Hence he has wholesome dread of the
shoddy, auction-room goods that are
sometimes offered to the public. When,
therefore, he is within easy reach of an
old-established business house that ham
dies none but the best grades of goods, he
feels entirely easy with regard to his
wants and necessities in the way of cloth
ing.
This trade has come to be quite an ex-
tensive one in Jackson and vicinity.
There has been no person so thoroughly
identified, of late years, with the clothing
trade in this vicinity, as P. H. Washam,
of the great clothing house of P. H. Was
ham & Co., the fine stone-front building,
corner of Main & Broadway, opposite the
Isham House. Mr.. Washam is thorough
ly conversant with every feature of the
clothing trade, and handles none but the
best grades-therefore his clothing is al
ways salaable, and always in demand.
We have thoroughly tested the kind of
clothing kept by this firm, and have uni
formly found it to be good.
just now Mr.. Washam displays large
and elegant stock of Clothing and Gents
Furnishing Goods, and, judging from the
great stacks of goods in the store, we
should say Washam feels entirely conf
dent of pleasing all who may call on him.
Washam's great storeis one of the insti-
tutions of Jackson, and our country
friends should not fail to call, when in
town, and have a friendly chat with Pat,
and see the enormous stacks of fine Cloth
ing and Gents Furnishing Goods he has
on hand. If you call, you will buy. We
feel sure of that. 2Ojan4w

Making a Total of
Rotary Motion New No. e-beautiful

IN quality, sewing machines are like
watches. You can buy watch for from
81 to 800. The best is the cheapest. All
sewing machines using a shuttle have
the same trouble. The shuttle must make
two starts and two stops to every stitch.
Only fancy the friction and jar in a ma
chine making 500 stitches to the minute!
The beautiful Self-Threading and
Light-Running New No. has the Rota-
ry Motion-no shuttle, no stopping and
starting to it-consequently, as matter
of fact, it will wear three times longer
than any other machine made. Beware
of those new kind and cheap machines
advertised and for sale by inexperienced
men. j. B. Howe has spent 10 years of
the best part of his life in the business,
and he knows the best machines, and if
you will but examine the New No. s be-
fore purchasing, you will have no other.

LAST week we met at Dickason's store
man named Peyton, who has resided
many years in Lawrence county. He has
two sons at work at Coalton, and he had
been there to see them.
Mr.. Peyton gave US much information
about our relatives in Lawrence county.
the Massie boys, and James and l. V.
Kelly, nephews, the latter now being Re-
corder of Lawrence county.
We inquired about the older men of the
Corn and Massie families, who resided in
the south part of this county some forty
or fifty years ago. He said nearly all Of
them are dead. Peter Corn, he said, is
still living. We were at his marriage
when we were little boy. He married
Rebecca, daughter of old Robert Massie,
who then lived on the old Joseph Phillips
farm, mile below Portland.

One of the greatest tasks of woman
kind is the making of boys clothing. For
the mother of two or three stout healthy

boys be clad in good neat-fitting clothing,
by taking them to the great clothing
store of P. H. Washam & Co., Martins
Corner, Jackson, Ohio. Mr.. Washam
makes speciality of Boys and Youths
Clothing, and parents should call and

By our detectives that the Bankrupt
Store is selling better goods at lower
prices than any other store in Jackson; it
beats them all to see the large varieties of
fine lace edgings, notions, china ware, tin
ware, glass ware, &c. at such low prices
as they are sold at the Bankrupt Store it
will pay anybody to call at that place and
examine goods and prices before purchas-
