Travel stopped-Real and Personal Sales
Remedy for Roup, &C.

The snow that fell on Sunday was drifted
by the high wind on Monday TO such an extent
that all roads, nearly, were blockaded worse
than at any time during the winter. Fences
had to be taken down in order to go from
place to place, and old citizens say it was the
worst storm, for the season, that had occurred
for many years.
On Monday Mrs. Mandela Myers sold her
personal property. The stock and farming
implements brought fair prices, and the sale
amounted to 81 ,070, which was about one
third the amount it had been appraised at.
On Tuesday the farm of Geo. ". Thomas,
containing between 50 and 81 acres of land,
was sold at public sale to Mr. Emanuel Wantz
for 81, $50, by Chas. E. Fink, assignee.
Wild geese were seen flying in a northernly

quite enjoyable.

The destructive bliszard which ragged fer
some days past, has at last come to stand
still, and left our community chance to re-
cover somewhat from its depressing effects.
Unfortunately the unfavorable weather hap
pened at time when there we're several pub,
lie sales of property which had been exten-
sively advertised, and of course the attend
ance was seriously obstructed, but the well
known indefatigable auctioneer of this place,
Samuel Crawford, who knows no such word
as fail, nor ever allows such slight things as
''blizzards'' to retard him, has been very
successful we understand, and the sales made
by him were very satisfactory, particularly
so under such unfayorable circumstances.
His voice could be heard in its cheering notes,
far above the roar of the wind, and bowling
storm, and put all in good humor for buying
Very few of our farmers have been in town
for some days past, and those who did venture
out gave most fearful accounts of the roads,
and all seem to be of one mind as to the abso-
lutte necessity of radical change as regards
the present management of the ways OF
the county, as the impediments to travel, and
serious damages to wagons and horses, GER
tainly Justify some method of substantial
change in the manner of repairing, and keep
ing the roads in order. Certainly if way out
in Iowa and Illinois they send miles for stone
to be cracked and put on the roads, it would
appear the greatest folly not to make use of
those afforded us by Providence, right in our
midst, and if only little ofthe energy, VIM,
and public spirit, displayed elsewhere, existed
here, combined with united action, much
could be added to the value of land and farms,
cause much comfort and qualification to the
residents, and likewise induce many strangers
to come in our midst. Verbum Sap.

March IL, II and IS, 1888, will pass in to
history as three of the worst days, consecu-
lively, in that month, of which there is record
Sunday morning opened with snow, followed
by a heavy rain and strong east wind. up to
about fpast when snow began to fall and
continued without intermission until about
daylight Monday morning. Shortly before 6
p. m. on Sunday the wind suddenly shifted to
the northwest, and the snow was driven in
binding sheets, and sifted under window
sashes, doors, shingle and tin roofs. By
Monday morning all the principal thorough
fares were blockaded by the snow.
During Monday the wind continued from
the same quarter, the mercury fell to from 2
to degrees above zero, and it was almost
impossible to keep the body warm.
Mail carriers, hucksters and others started
on their respective routes, but were compelled
to abandon their wagons and place their
horses in shelter. Physicians tried to make
their rounds but had to return home.
Tuesday was the worst of the three days.
Snow began falling about 10 Il. m. and con-
tinued almost unnterruptedly until midnight.
The wind at times partook of the nature of n
gale, and only those who were compelled to
be out faced the rigors of the blizzard.
Wednesday opened with a heavy dash of
snow which lasted only few minutes, when
the sky became clear and the temperature
moderated, though strong northwest wind
continued during the day.

reaching Some are. wanting TO buy in order
10 begun farming, and others are wanting to
sell in order 10 quit farming. No man can
sell his property to the best advantage who
fails to advertise 1t in newspaper. He may
print and distribute as many handbllls as he
pleases, but he cannot reach one twentieth of
he people by handful fiiat he will be able TO
reach through the newspaper; nor will he be
able TO get as good prices for his property by
handful as by newspaper advertisement. If
you want the BEST PRICES for your prop
erty you should use handbIs and the news
paper also, not mere outline or skeleton of
an advertisement, but full list of all the ar.
ticles you have to sell. A man may think this
or that article is too tri,ing or small to emu
merate, but it may be that very article that
neighbor wants, and which will induce him
to attend the sale and buy, along with other
things. Thorough advertising is the best way
to attract a large crowd at public sale, and
large crowd is the best way to get good prices
for your property. 1t will pay the cost of
advertising many times over. We have
watched the effect of advertising upon sales
of personal property for many years, and we
have never known thorough advertising to fail
to bring good prices. There is nothing that
pays better per cent than printers ink used
in this way. Try it and prove it. The AD-
