to have his left hand almost severed from
the wrist. The little fellow with an older
brother were playing with an axe and the
weapon accidentally fell from the hands
of the older brother, striking the younger
brother on the back ofthe hand, complete
ly severing the bones of the four fingers
and fracturing the thumb. Drs. Shoe
maker and Mauk dressed the wound.
The Drs. think they can save the hand
but it will never be of service to the un-
fortunate boy.

The Best and Cheapest Paint.

1t is sometimes difficult for people to
know just what paint to use which will
prove the best and cheapest in the end, as
there are SO many different brands recon-
ended and sold rs first class paint. Now,
we believe the best paint, and that which
is the cheapest, and covers the most sur
face, and gives good, never fading and
brilliant colors, and when exposed to all
kinds of weather will not scale or chalk of
and will keep the wood we'll covered and
protected for to 10 years. Paints, with
all of the above qualities, you will find to
be the Rail Road Paints and Diamond
White Lead which is sold so extensively
at Saur's Drug and Paint Store. These
paints are warranted to give satisfaction
in every particular, and to be every thing
that is claimed for them, viz: Strictly first
class paints.

When Harvest days were drawing nigh.
And "Binder fever" was running high,
Each "Jumbo" agent hard did try
To sell his Old Style Binder.
But farmers saw another sight
Which gave them most profound delight,
And tills d the Jumbo men with spite
Twas the Buckeye Low-Down Binder.
With facts (?) and figures fast arrayed,
Each agent desperate efforts made
To put the SLOW Down" in the shade
And show his Jumbo Binder.
Say what they might, it was "no CO."
The farmers simply said no, no!
Well have The Best or none, you know,
And that's the Buckeye Binder.
The combat deepens. Far and nigh,
"Down with the Buckeye Is the cry,
But farmers wave their orders high
For the little Low-Down Binder.
