Mrs. +. J. Tefft, a lady who ha
recently arrived here from Nebraska
has rented the Buchanan building OF
the corner opposite Northrup's, and
will carry ON general dressmakina
business. She will also carry line o.
notions and ladies' furnishing goods
and will do stamping. She expects
to have her opening tomorrow.
Armstrong, the Moran Herald. has
found new field for his enterprise in
publishing a paper for the new town
Kincaid. 1t is very creditable sheet
and we hope it will make its publisher
piles of wealth. A man of Arm strong's
energy and industry ought to make
money, even in the newspaper bust
ness.
The meetings at the Christian church
are expected to continue over the COM
ing Lords day. The interest has been

good and growing. Six persons have
made the good confession. You are in
vited to come. Think of the value of
your soul. What are your hopes of
Heaven Are you satisfied with your
present prospects?
Grandma Simpson, an old lady liv-
ing OH Sycamore street, was badly hurt
Sunday night. She was coming out
of the Baptist curch at the close Of the
services when she made misstep and
fell so heavily as to break her knee cap.
The old lady was carried to her home,
and DR.. w. D. Scott called in, under
whose care she is now doing as well as
could be expected.
A travelling acrobat attracted a crowd
on Monday by performing some dar-
ing feats upon a rope stretched from
the top of the Opera House to the top
of Richards & Henderson's building.
All the pay he got was what the crowd
chose to contribute as the hat was pass
ed around. 1t would seem that SO
much strength and nerve and skill
could command a greater reward than
that.
Mrs. G. G.. Reeves, living near Piqua,
called on us Wednesday and showed
US the analysis of water taken from a
well on her farm, which shows almost
exactly the same composition of the
lola well. The well is only 273 feet
deep and it is a little singular that the
water should be SO nearly the compo-
sition of our own mineral water. Mrs.
Reeves would like to lease the proper.
ty and offers advantageous terms.
Old "Uncle" Moses Grubbs is dead.
He has been a citizen of this earth a
long while and his death last Sunday
was not unexpected. He was one of
our most respected cOlored men, his
industry and integrity being shown by
the fact that he has lived over eighteen
years as tenant on one farm. He
had great influence with the colored
people, who looked up to him pretty
much as the Israelites looked up to
Moses of old.
It is fully understood that s. A.
Brown will not enter the mercantile
trade here, but will attend to his bank

A week after the Humboldt fire,
The REGISTER said, "S. A. Brown
has sold the remnant of his goods that
were saved from the fire in Humboldt,
and will not resume the mercantile bus
ness there" The Inter- State quoted
this statement and denominated it a
slow, filthy lie." Did the REGISTER
lie then, or is the Inter. State lying
now?
Lew Bartels wishes to call the at
tention of his many friends and Gus
toners to the fact, that his business
will be run, and that in the interests
of the people. That he was never be-
fore in as good shape to give the peo-
pie the benefit of low prices, for the
best goods, as now. Without any ex-
pense, the advantage of years of ex-
perience and goods bought for cash.
enables him to sell for less money than
any body else dares to, and make a
profit. Call at the old reliable Harness
shop of w. L. Bartels.

We have been made the victim of
typographical blunders too often our
selves, to make a practice of twitting
other unfortunates. But in the above
case we cannot help wondering wheth-

While knocking around the "Y" last
