Santa Claus Headquarters.

As usual, Santa Claus has at last concluded
to make Saur's Drug and Book store his head
quarters again for the holidays. He is now
engaged in shipping in and filling up the
holiday presents there until there seems to
be no end to them. 1t makes the children
laugh to look at them. The finest line OF
photograh albums ever shown in Napoleon
has just been opened out at prices so low
that it simply astonished everybody. In the
line of poems in almost every style of bind
ing, no!better selection can be seen any where.
The stock of miscellaneous books is large
and attracting much attention. Those who
contemplate buying holiday presents should
not fail to step in at Saurs' Drug and Book
House; see what there is to be seen, and es-
pecially what is in store for the children in
the way of books suited to all ages.

Henry County.

1t is strange to see so many middle-aged
people pick up, probably many of them leav-
ing good comfortable homes and paying pro-
critics, and go to the far West with hope to
better their fortunes. And it is not strange
that one sees so many plodding their way
back after short time spent in the bound
less west, glad to again settle down in the
old home and content to live upon the eighty
acre tract in preference to a section in the
far off country, distant from markets and all
that tends to make life happy and comforta-
BILE. For productive soil, good markets,
healthfulness and good school facilities, Hen
ry county far excells any country in the
Western States and Territories, and the man
who is already located within its boarders is
foolish in the extreme to leave it with view
of picking up fortune farther west without
working for it and earning it by the sweat of
his brow, and equally foolish is the man who
is seeking location to pass it by on his pros
pecting tour. The county with its rich and
fertile soil is fast becoming the garden spot
of Ohio, and with its temperate climate,
almost free from severe storms and destruc-
tive cyclones, it affords a safe and profitable
abiding piece for mankind. Its improve
ments are permanent and substantial, and its
water facilities are second to none in the
State. It's markets are conveniently located
over the entire county, and the county seat
Napoleon-is proverbially known as one of
Tho best and most substantially built towns
for its size in this section of the country. The
inhabitants of Henry county are law abiding
and industrious, enterprising and social. Its
broad and fertile acres are becoming inter
spersed with fine large barns and commodi-
GUS dwelling houses, most of which improve
ments we're paid for in the main from the
earning of the products raised from the soil.
To those seeking homes, our advise is for
them to tarry awhile in Henry county and
investigate the advantages it affords, and to
those already located here we unhesitatingly
say ''let good enough Alone"

Few people who see sealskin sacque or
wear one have any knowledge of the process
by which it is put on the market in its per-
fected beauty. When first taken from the
animal they little resemble the warm glossy
and uniform surface which they present up
on the streets of the great cities in winter
time. Until they are dyed and cured the
skins are of light brown color and general
ly full of sand. In the process of making
them valuable the feshy side is pared down
until it is no thicker than paper. The long
hairs are then pulled out and the fur is dyed.
The cost of the article consists principally in
the labor that is expended on the skin. The
dying and finishing are all done in London,
and have never been attempted in this coun-
try with complete success.

A Vacancy in the Board of County
Commissioners.

Commissioners.
Under the law passed last winter, w. N.
Zierolf, who has Just been elected County
Commissioner, will not take his office until
the first Monday in January, instead of the
first Monday in December, as it was former
ly. This raises an interesting law question
as to whether there is vacancy, such as can
be filled for one month. Another section of
the statute provides that when a vacancy ac-
casioned by death, resignation or removal
occurs more than thirty days before the an
nual election, successor shall be elected
thereat; and when vacancy happens, wheth-
er more than thirty days before the election,
or within that time, and the interests of the
county require that the vacancy be filled be-
fore the election, the Probate Judge, Auditor
and Recorder of the county, or majority of
them, shall appoint a Commissioner, who
shall hold his Office until his ssccessor is
elected. These are the only provisions of the
law, and they do not seem to embrace such a
case as now exists, and will occur as to the sue
cessor of each of the other Commissioners
now in office, whose terms will not expire un-
til December, 1887 and 1883 respectively. If
there is a vacancy such as is contemplated by
the statutes, Mr.. Booher will in all proba-
bility be asked to keep his seat for one month
longer, or until the official term of Mr..
Zierolf commences, the first Monday in
January
