caster, fronting 25 feet on public square
and running back more than 100 feet, in
GLIDING an ell which opens on Danville
street. This firm has only been in business
here since 1879, but ia that short time hs'
built up very large trade, which is due to
the honest manner in which they have
dealt with their customers and to the large
and comprehensive stock they have always
carried. They are now better than ever
prepared to please the public, which can
do no better than patronize them.
Two fellows, named Peel, brothers, Of
Jessamine, came to town last court-day,
one Of them riding an old blind horse, al
most worthless, and offered TO sell him to
young man, Geo. Stone, living on Sugar
Creek. While these two were talking over
the trade, the other brother stepped up and
taking Stone aside, told him he'd give him
SIS for the horse il he would buy him.
The young man thought he saw good
spec, and bought the horse for $50 or $50.
He then went to hunt his purchaser, but lol
he couldn't be found. Stone had the Peels
arrested this week, and they were brought
here for trial, but the officer who had them
in charge was derelict in his duty and they
made their escape before they could be
tried and have not been heard Of SINCE. An
account fjust such game was recently
published in the INTERIOR JOURNAL, and
il Mr.. Stone had been a subscriber he could
have saved himself trouble and money.
