NATURALG GAS.

We have at last discovered
the much sought for article.
The drill struck the famous hard
pan strata and the volume that
poured forth was surprising.
But, kind reader, it was not that
vapory fluid that's of no benefit
to us, but it was the lower stra-
ia of prices asked at the great
Drug and Book House of Saur
& Balsley, at their clearance
sale of goods yet remaining un-
sold at the great holiday dis
play made by this house. S. &
B. are at the helm in this deal
and that they intend to see it
successfully carried out is a
foregone conclusion Goods
marked way down, even cheap
er than the signs of the times
require. These are genuine
bargains, and in goods that are
always staple and in demand.
Save at least 20 per cent. on
future purchases by buying now
of this popular firm. This is an
excellent time toI lay in a sup
ply Of books, magazines and
papers, for your amusement
and enlightenment, and for ad-
vancing the minds of your
growing up children. You can
not possibly have too much
good reading matter in your
house, and you will be surpris-
ed to see what an armful OF it
you can buy for a very small
outlay at this time of the year.
Then, too, this is an excellent
time to lay in supply of paints,
oils, wall and window papers,
for spring use, as you can buy
them much cheaper now than
YOU can in a month or two
hence, when you really must
have them. This fact the most
obtuse must see, and seeing it
must certainly take advantage
of it, and profit by it. Take our
advice and act accordingly.
This, too, is the season of the
year when one is more suscepti-
bic to disease than any other.
Saur & Balsley have q pure and
fresh stock Of medicines suita-
BILE to all ailments. and also a
stock of preventatives, which
recalls the old saying that an
ounce of preventative is worth
a pound Of cure. Supply your
family with these necessary
medicines and avoid a siege Of
sickness and a large. doctor
bill, or it may be even death.
This old reliable house invite
an inspection Of their stock,
they even court an inyestiga-
ton Of stock and prices, and
are confident they can do bet
ter by you than any other
house in Northwestern Ohio
ean do, by not only saving you
money, but giving you newer
and fresher goods for your mon
lev. Don't take our word for it,
BIZ, go in and see them if YOU
