Says this writer: Il will refer to the

cites, according to the Russian custom,
after meal, composed of pure nugget
of gold worth Fl 800 sterling, and just
in the rough state in which it had been
found in the mine. The Gar has per-
mitted, in an exceptional case, M. Kous-
nietzof to retain possession of this mug
get in his house on account of the rarity
of such a godsend. The proprietor Of
this treasure did not omit to inform me
that having this precious receptacle for
thirty years he had lost not merely the

Special Notice!
OFFICE OF
Rockford Watch Co,

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, May 18th, 1884.
Referring to the fact that we have
appointed WAIT BROTHERS, of
Ravenna, Sole Agents for the sale of
our Quick Train Railroad Watches in
Portage County, Ohio, we desire to say
that no parties other than WAIT BROS.
or their employees, are authorised to
offer these Goods for sale in the terri
tory indicated and that no warranty
whatever attaches to our goods when
offered for sale by others than our duly
authorised agents. Our goods are sold
directly from the factory, and only
through competent and well known
dealers.
AS the movements leave our hands
carefully adjusted and regulated for
immediate use, we hold ourselves di-
rectly responsible to the wearsr o. the
watch for its satisfactory performance,
BUT ONLY WHEN SOLD BY OUR CHOSEN
AGENTS. We understand the extraor-
dinary guarantee of excellence made
by WAIT Bros, and given out by
them to the public, and are prepared
to make good the assertions of our
representatives in that particular.
Very Respectfully,
ROCKFORD WATCH co.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1886-05-06


we have had the exclusive safe of the
Rockford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT To SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money to advertise goods not
i'm stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave it. They know that we
are not travelling experimental insti-
tuition, and they will continue to buy
their Watches, Silver Ware, ETC., OF

How Philip Charged 1T Up,

When l think of the many funny
things Kenward Philip did, find it diff
cult to realize that he was born in En-
gland. ! am certain that if YOU had
scratched him deep enough you would
have found strain of Celtic blood for
no thorough Englishman could do and
say what he did and said. One of the
most famous stories told concerning
him bears relation to hanging; no one
but he could get laugh out of such a
ghastly subject. He was once sent to
report a hanging in town far distant
