OUR FIRST NUMBER

You will see many adver
tisements about large stocks OF
Fall and Winter Goods and
each one will claim to be
ahead of their competitors, but
we will be content to let the
readers of The GAZETTE know
we have a larger stock than
usual because our trade de-
mands it, and this is an evil
dence that our goods are sold
at as low prices as elsewhere,
or a little lower for same
quality.
Our Children's Stock is COM
plete. We do not mean by
that to tell you we keep the
low-price shoddy goods, but
we do have a good quality at
a very low price, and yet we
sell more of our suits from five
to ten dollars.
In our Boys Department we
have some very stylish gar
ments to show you, while the
young men cannot help being
pleased by making a selection
from our nobby styles.
We have over Forty Styles
to show you in our Mems De-
partment, and now, kind
reader, just visit US at your
earliest convenience and let us
show you our goods, and see
II it will not be to our mutual
interests to deal with each
other.
This does not give you much
oil an idea OF our stock, but if
you will stop in at

JUDGE sTpsON,s.
[Timn Tribunc.l

lAbHu ittNuhtsl
I, is entirely proper and but jn.ticc to
give short sketch of Col. Luther M.
Strong, republican candidate for Judge of
the Court Of Common Pleas, M old Seneca
county boy. He was born aud raised on a
farm a few miles east Of Tiffn. When the
war OF the Rebellion broke out he left his
place al the Academy at Republic, where
he was attending school, and raised Co. G.
49th Regiment, o. V. l., OF which company
lie became captain.
The 49th Ohio was among the first troops
TO enter Kentucky, aud, with few others,
formed the nucleus Of what was aflerward
the Army Of the Cumberland. A history
OF the regiment and it's battles would bo a
history OF that artny.
Captain Strong was always at the front.
His regiment was never under fire, from
its FIRST battle at Shilo until the final battle
at. Nashville, that he was not with II, with
one exception, and on that occasion he was
temporarily absent on duty by order of
his superior officers.
AT the battle Of Chickamaugs he re.
ceived special mention by his brigade
