HOLIDAY SERIES

We ere pleased to be able to
say to the public generally that
we have been successful in ne
gotiating with Rogers Broth
ers" tor line Of plated Table
Cutlery" at such prices as
allow us to offer some very
great bargains. Everybody
who buys Table Cutlery
knows that Rogers Bros. ;"
have the best reputation for
first-class goods of any firm in
the country; hence there need
be no question as to the goods.
We have got them all opened,
and the prices are as follows:
Teaspoons. SI.3o dozen; Des-
ert-spoons, S2.Io a dozen;
Tablespoons, $2.o5 a dozen;
Desert Forks, So.1o a dozen;
medium Forks, S2.65 a dozen;
medium Knives and Forks, in
boxes of one dozen, 1888; halt
dozen boxes, 500; Sugar
Shells and Butter Knives, zoe
each; Fruit Knives. CSC each.
At such astonishingly low prices
for hrst-class goods, the ques-
ton is very naturally asked,
how can it be done? The solu-
ton of the whole matter is this:
By buying one thousand dozen
at one purchase, for cash.
There is no one article more
necessary in all houses than
Table Cutlery, and it will al
ways be an appropriate gift.
While we are talking of USE
full goods, we might mention
about Blankets and Underwear,
Cloaks and Shawls, Laundered
and Unlaundered Shirts, and,
If we had room, we could men,
ton hundreds of articles that
would be most acceptable gifts.
Gold-headed Umbrellas are
very desirable now, and we
have a choice assortment from
$3 to $40. We also have the
cheaper grades in alpaca, ging-
ham and cambrics.
We should be doing our Gus
toners and ourselves an in
justice if we did not say a lew
words about our Books, for we
have a very great quantity and
OF the most desirable kinds.
And then we are selling them
at such remarkably low prices
it makes our Book Department
doubly interesting to buyers.
We have a large stock of Books
in sets, such as Dickens, Ma
caulay, Cooper, Thackeray,
Carlyle, Scott, Irving, Haw-
thorne, Guizot, and lots of
others. Also, all the newest
publications by the most popu-
lar authors. A very large line
of Children's Books.
We have made a beginning
in the display of Toys, and
shall add to it day by day, as
we have not room to place
them all out at one time.
People are buying holiday
goods earlier this year than
ever, and it is wise to do so,
for not only can you get better
attention, but you get the
choicest goods.
Our Silver Plated Ware"
has been selling very freely
through the past week, and
some pieces have gone out
that cannot be replaced. Berry
dishes, tea sets, pickle casters,
sirup pitchers, napkin rings,
etc, etc. At this department
will be found a very large as
sortment OF fancy goods, includ-

,Y- We have no objection to the laboring-
mans getting the best wages he can possibly
can for himself, if he gets it by honorable
means. We eare willing that the employer
shall get his work done at the lowest possible
price if he does so by honorable means. The
blessed Golden Rule should apply to both
sides of the question. But when q laboring
man goes to an employer and says, as the
Socialists say, ssyou shall run your works
whether you wish to or not. or whether it
pays or not; you shall give US work and You
shall increase our wages % per cent" why
then we say he should be slapped in the
mouth and Kicked out Of doors for his impu
dence, and If he attempts to destroy property
or inflict personal injury to any one in order
to carry out his unreasonable demands, he
should be dealt with by armed authorities ac-
cording to tho exigencies oftheca That is
our creed. GAINESVILLE Signul. And q very

sY An immense amount of official rotten
ness has, been unearthed in the City Council
of Gallipolis. tits impossible, as vet, to
give the exact amount of the stealings, but it
will not fall short Of 100000 and may exceed
$150,cG0. The stealings, under the guise Of
improvements, etc., has been going on for
several yea-s. The Councilmen paid them
selves salaries under various disguises, as
confessed by the former Chairman Of the
Finance Committee and President of Coun-
cil For instance an order was drawn for
$1.75, afterwards raised to $175 and the
money divided among the Councilrnen;

order was drawn for $1C0 and the $50 divided,

plundered all the time., The whole lot of the

er legislation. They became satisfied that
they could not discharge their senatorial
duties without intimidation, and perhaps
violence, and they determined TO leave the
Senate without quorum. The seventeen
Republican Senators can do no mischief,
and ii does not make much difference whsth-
or anything more is done at this sessian Of
the Legislature or mot. The General Appro-
pristion bin Is . law, and nearly all import
ant Legislative business has been transacted.
The Scott Law, which the Republicans said
they would reenact, has not been perfected,
but the people can get along while without
IL. The only important matter before the
body, which needs immediate attention, is
the Governors proposition TO equalize taxa
tion and prevent tax-dodging. The Demo-
Gratis have fairly checkmated the yevolution-
ary designs Of Kennedy, Noyes and Bateman,
and the best thing the Governor can do now,
is to adjourn the Legislature until ne1t

~ The practice of the boycott is not a
new one by any means, even for this country.
British tea traders were boycotted by Ameri-
cans just before the Revolutionary war, over
a century ago. The papers use the term SO
frequently Just at present that the origin o.
the word may prove interesting. Captain
Boycott was the name of an Irish landlord
who was unusually tyranical and oveebearing
toward his tenants, turning them out into
the cold whenever they failed to pay their
rent promptly. This man became SO obnox-
'ious to the poor people Of the neighborhood
that they decided to have nothing to do with
him Id any way. They refused to buy from
him, sell to him or work for him. They
simply ignored his very existence. This
occurred only few years ago, and ever since
that time the term "boycott' has been en-
.ployed to denote "a severe letting alone as
above indicated. II isa weapon OF terrible
power when welded intelligently BY organic
cd bodies Of men.

senate, seeing no other way of upholding the
honor of the State and preserving the rights
of the majority intact from the autocratic
rulings of the tool of the tricksters, Noyes
and Betsman, took vacation and left the
senate without quorum to transact business
with. Whatever may be thought of the wis
dom of this course, it is fact that many Of
Kennedy's rulings during the present session
would have done credit to the notorious Lord
Jefferies, who trampled upon law, order and

sY The Louisville Commercial recalls the
first case cf boycotting on record by
Esop, and tells the story with an application
to the present craze. according to Esop's
story" says the Commercial, "tbe different
members of the body--the legs and feet and
hands and arms and eyes and mouth and
tongue and teeth and all the rest-became
dissatisfied with the fact that they bad con-
tinually to labor and endure trouble and
hardship, all for the benefit of the belly,
which lu1uriously enjoyed the results of all
their exertions, and lived in ease and idleness
from the proceeds Of their labor. The injus-
tice of this was 80 apparent that only one or
two had to mentionit before they all took it
up, and meeting was called in which, after
much indignant eloquence was expended, it
was unanimously resolved that no member
would thereafter furnish or help in furnish
ing food for the belly until it abandoned its
luxurious ways and shared in their work. In
other words, strict boycott was ordered
against the belly, and at once put in force.
The result was not propitious. It is true
that the belly at once began to grumbfe and
suffer, at the same time the head began to
swim, the arms to dwindle, the feet to STUN
BILE, the knees to bend, and every one of the
boycotting working members to fail and lose
its powers. After few days of this exper-
ience the members found that they could not
get along without the belly any better than it
could get along without them, and that no
matter how hard work any of them might do,
it amounted to nothing unless the belly was
cared for. Another meeting was called, at
which, as the result of their experience, it
was declared that the belly, while apparently
living idly off the lsbors of others, really did
continual and important work essential to
the good of all, and the boycott was unani-
mously declared of. II is worth while for
labor and capital 30 look up their Esop's
fables md give little consideration to this
old story. Capital is like the belly and labor
is like the members. Capital owes its e1is-
tence to labor, but labor can do nothing
without capital, and the industrial system Of
the country can neyer thrive when eithe-
tries to oppress the other" There is food
for reflection here.
