effort or pains have been spared in the

1t will be seen by q notice elsewhere
that the firm of Abrams & Baker has
been dissolved by mutual consent, Mr.
Abrams retiring. The change would
be deeply regretted did IL imply the re-

Mr.. Baker as sole proprietor will give
personal attention to the business, and
also retains the clerical services Of Mr..

A band Of Italian musicians with a
flute, harp and three violins favored
Audubon with visitation last Friday.
Their music was enhancing, and struck
our people so favorably that dance
was arranged for the evening Mt the
Park hotel, where delightful time was
enjoyed. Such music is seldom heard
as the Italians rendered, and their visit
was welcome one. Though the wan
dering musician is generally regarded
rs nuisance, he generally disburses
his amount of enjoyment among his
fellowmen and which Is not an incon-
siderate factor in the sum of human
happiness.
Mr.. II. l.. Harris, of Sharon township,
contributes timely article to THE RE-
PUBLICAN this week, and suggests the
name of one of the best men in the
county as candidate for representative
on the republican ticket. The gentle
man in one Of the oldest as well as one
Of the most respected citizens of the
county, and there can be no doubt as
to his principles or faithfulness to pur-
pose. He is one upon whom the honor
might fall gracefully and without solic-
itation. The position is one that should
be given Us token of confidence and
esteem, and we believe that the sugges,
ton of Mr.. Harris will find many hearty
seconds among our readers.
After attending the opera last Friday
evening Frank Bradley heard the
strains Of enhancing music waited
from the dance hall of the Park Hotel,
and intuitiyely his number skies com
menced marking time, his pulse quick
ened, and the corners of his mustache
made an upward twirl, all of which
prompted resolve to dance that night
for the first time in about ten years.
In company with his good wife he went
to the hail. and was seen to glide in dur
ing the mazes of the first waltz as grace
fully as an autumn leaf ilutters through
the ambient air. A number Of young
ladies occurred the democratic sage for
succeeding numbers, and he was the ac-
knowledged belle of the ball. 1t was a
. great outing for the seiate gentleman.
