Graham Earl's Troubles.

A dispatch from Wabash, Ind, dated Jan.
I'd, says: "Graham Earle, the well known
actor who, last week, left his wife and COM
pany in the lurch at Steubenville, was arrest
ed last night at Albion, Noble county, on a
charge of bigamy. Earle skipped with all
the money of the troupe, leaving the mem
bers with unpaid salaries. He also took the
manuscript of several plays the property of
Mrs. Earle. Earle came to Albion to organ
ize new company, but was traced up.
Earl's trial for bigamy was to have taken
place this afternoon, but Agatha Singleton,
late leading lady of Earle's troupe, arrived
tins morning, and on investigation revealed
the fact that she was not the wife of Earle
The charge of bigamy was dismissed and
prosecution for fornication instituted. Earle
was held for trial at the next term of court.

NEw BAyAR1A, Jan. 4th, 1890.


The weather prophets are very fast coming
to the conclusion to abandon their calling,
as so far they have made grand failure in
their predictions. The "oldest inhabitant"
is also puzzled about the state of the weather
SO far this winter, but all seem to agree that
they have never "seen the beat"
1t does not seem to be the heart of winter
just now when we can see farmers plowing
their ields-walking behind their plows in
their shirt sleeves, or ditching, while the
perspiration is coming down their swarthy
cheeks. Quite lot of this work is being
done at the present time, especially of the
latter.
Hundreds of acres of land have thus far
been drained this winter, and there is scarce
ly farmer who has not put down at least
few thousand tile. The scarcity of the latter
article is being felt, as the yards in surround
ing places are empty, and consequently must
be shipped from distance. John Wilhelm
received a consignment of 25,OO0a short time
ago, aud others large quantities in proper
ton.
N. Laubenthal has bought an improved tile
mill, and as soon as the season opens will
commence to put the same into operation.
We venture to predict for him lively busi-
ness next summer as his wares will go like
shot cakes"
There was quite a lot of visitors in and
around our town during the holidays, and
everybody kept open house-even those who
otherwise are not in that habit could not re-
sist the temptation of nature, on Christmas
day especially, since that day was as balmy
as one in May.
The rain on New Year day was regular
deluge, and the roads, which had become
somewhat passable, are in terrible plight
again.
When will the people awaken to the fact
that gravel roads must be built The con-
dition the roads have been in so far this
winter fought to set them thinking about
this matter very seriously.
From all indications quite a large number
of new structures, both dwellings and barns,
will be erected next spring and summer.
Prof. Hornung, of Heidelberg College,
Tifin, Ohio, is spending few days at his
old home.
Our old Democratic friend, L. Hilder-
brand, from Pleasant Bend, is suffering
from severe cold. He thinks it is genuine
grippe.
The Misses Annie and Lizzie Laubenthal
are visiting in Custar, Ohio.
Joseph Dietzen, who few months ago had
the misfortune to break his leg in the mill

was undoubtly an adept in the culinary art.
The bride cut her cake with her left hand.

GET RICH

That is a piece of advice very
much like the doctors, when he
advised the poor man to take a
sea voyage; or the poor woman
to take good nourishing food
and a glass Of port wine. We
don't need to be told to get rich
but we do need to be told how
to do it.
There are many ways to get
money. Speculation is one way.
You can buy stocks, bonds,
shares, etc., but all this re-
quires capital to start with, and
you have none, we will sup
pose. Then you must begin
saving money, but this only
shifts the shoe that pinches to
the other foot. How to save
money is nearly as great a prob
lem as how to get rich. 1t is
very, we'll to say, "save mon
ey." That is what we started
out to tell you and everybody,
how money saved on your nee
essary expenses may lay the
foundation for fortune for you;
and you can save money every
time you trade by buying cheap.
That's no news, you will
probably say. Of course you
can save by buying cheap. You
could also fly if you had wings.
You can do anything if you
know how. You are quite
willing to save on your buying
if you know where to CO.
That's what we are getting at.
We would not waste your time
by offering all this advice with
out having a practical end in
view. If you want to buy
goods at prices which will save
you much money don't fail to
visit the large drug and book
house of Saur & Balsley. You
can not only save big money
on the necessary medicines
which your family need at this
especial season of the year, but
also on wall and window pa
pers, paints, oils, varnishes and
brushes. While the season is
drawing near when it becomes
> necessary to lay in new stock
of these goods, our stock on
hand is composed Of the very
latest patterns and best goods
in the market, but will be sold
at a great sacrifice in order to
make room for our spring stock.
Our book trade was never more
flourishing, now that books
are so cheap, and those in need
of good reading material for
the home should not fail to look
over Saur 6 Balsley's display
Of all manner Of books and pc
riodicals.
j A call on Saur & Balsley will
never come amiss. 1t is money
in your pocket every time
Now is the time to lay in your
supply Of Wall Paper and
Paints.

OBITUARY.

HoILopErER.-Carrie Hollopeter, daughter
of David and Adaline Hollopeter, was born
August 10Th, 1868, and died December 23rd,
1889, aged 81 years, 4months and days.
Carrie had a strong desire to live, labor
and do her part in the great battle of human
life. She was very studious and ambitious to
acquire an education. She taught two terms
of school; during her second term her health
failed and she was compelled to yield to the
terrible disease, consumption. For three
years she was great but patient sufferer,
and when talking Of her aff1iction she always
said, "It is all right"
just before her death she repeated several
lines of the hymn, Nearer my God, toThee, !"
before the hymn was sung. We have good
reasons to believe she rests in peace.
Carrie had many friends and a large con-
course attended her funeral.
The sermon was preached by Rev. A. Well
ford, assisted by Rev. John Myers; Text:
Eccl. 18th chapter and LIST verse.
The choir Of Sharon M. E. Church, where
she attended church and Sabbath school, was
present and conducted the singing, which
was appropriate and beautiful. She was
buried in the beautiful cemetery near Olive
Branch Church.
