IT, you want to hear Of goods by the
mile read Saum's big ad., in this issue
They have everything in the hardware
and tinware line that can be thought of
and have long sold them 50 low that it
has become proterb among the people.
Read their ad., and then 60 and see that
they have every thing they mention.
Nv stock will be larger, and my prices
lower than ever. Come TO my store and
examine my stock and prices before pur-
chasing elsewhere.
Respectfully, }. b. Glen.
Our live merchant, c. p WiRhtman, has
returned from the Eastern cities, and will
he busy with his whole force in unpacking
the world of goods he purchased. We
gue,s he must have chartered several
freight trains to get them here, but for all
that he is determined to push them off if
ridiculously low prices will do it. 1t is
positively hswildering to look over his
stock, and if you intend TO spend dollar
YOU had better take a wagon with you to
bring home the goods.
There will be a grove meeting near
Daniel Bowman's about two miles south
Ct this place, in the grove on the south
side of the river, held by the Rev. John
II. Harvey, on Sunday, the 10th of May,
at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, at which time the
ordinance of baptism will take place, and
Is or 20 persons emersed. In the evening
the sacrament of the Lords Supper Will
be administered, and preaching at night.
Lawrence Donovan has bee appointed
mail carrier from the postofllce to the tram
at this place, and, we learn, made better
time, one day last week, than has ever
been recorded. He was informed at the
depot that he only had few minutes to
get the mail from the postoiiice to the
train. He at once started of like wheel
barrow, and made such time that his hy-
ing tracks smoked along the sidewalk like
tar-kiln. On his return, hatless and per
spring in streams sufficient to raise stony
Creek. he found that he had gained on
" Old Father Time" to such an extent
that he had over a half hour to spare. 1t
was the best race against time ever made
in this section. He says it will do to guess
at the time when counting, but not when
railroad trains are concerned.
Verify times are hard and those desiring
TO purchase general merchandise should
have every advantage in the way Of low
prices and a large and varied stock from
which to make their selections. We take
great pleasure in informing his many Gus
TONERS that j. b. Glen, the enterprislng
merchant. is spending some days in the
northern cities to buy inst goods enough
to crowd his two capacious store rooms
from cellar to attic. The liberal patron
age extended has prompted MIR. Glenn to
this action. II is useless 20 mention what
be will buy. Nothing shall be forgotten
/
and everything he buys shall be special
ty. In point of price, Mr.. Glenn is a wide
awake experienced purchaser thorough
Judge of goods, and buying at lowest hg-
ures means to sell likewise. Do not pur-
chase your goods till his mammoth stock
has arrived, 1t will pay you.
On Monday evening, about ~ o'clock, as
the southbound accommodation was about
to pull out from the depot here the con
ductor noticed five hard-looking case
aboard evidently preparing to steal ride

one of them making threatening demon

ductor called the other train men includ

drop on him with revolver and th'
scoundrel wilted and tired to make Iii
escape, but was grabbed. Another wa
caught, but the rest succeeded In gettnl
away by lodging among the freight car
and buildings along the railroad. TIT
