Pure Blood.

That pure blood is essential to good health
is a fact long since been admitted by all
good physicians. It is during the winner
season when you have coughs, colds, la-grip
and many other diseases to contend with,
when. the blood is most liable TO become i'm
pure. This being the case, 1t is in the spring
when you should use good blood purifiers
such as will not only purify the blood but
thoroughly renovate the entire system and
put it in good healthy condition. Then
when hard work commences you will be pre-
pared to do it, and you will have but little
trouble to ward of diseases during the COM
ing seasons. Saur & Balsley are prepared
to furnish this kind Of medicine at all times
at their drug and medicine house, fresh,
pure, reliable and good. direct from the
manufacturers, such as have been tried and
thoroughly tested in every way 80 that they
can be guaranteed to be and do all that is
claimed for them.

A Defunct Troupe.

The Wesson & Walters dramatic troupe
that was to have given the people of Napo-
leon an opportunity to Judge of their merits
in the highly sensational comedy "Fire-
mans Ward" failed to materalize here
Thursday night. For some unknown reason
their engagement at Defiance for Friday
night was cancelled fully two weeks back
but the managers at the opera house here
did not receive any intimation Of the disso-
luton of the troupe until Tues
day, when in response to a telegram he
learned that they had not played at Wauseon
the night previous. It was also learned that
the troupe had disbanded at Adrian, Mich,
Tuesday evening. The money taken for
tickets, etc., was refunded and all is serene
with everybody with the exception of the
printer who gave about a half column in
making his readers bellows that it was their
lot to witness a frst-class show, and got a
couple of measly tickets that are not worth
the. paper printed on, in return. We're
looking after Wesson and his partner Wal
teEs with knotted club.

David NJ. Jones, Napoleon's Postmaster,
passed from life Sunday morning at 7:3C
O'Clock. Peritonitis accompanied with
kidney trouble and blood poisoning were
the direct causes of his demise, and in this
they were speedy agents in bringing their
victim to bed of death in the short space
of ten days actual illness. From at first he
was considered by the attending physician
to be in precarious condition and the
family was given but littl hope for his re-
covery. Saturday he began to sink steadily
and early Sunday morning life became ex-
tinct, thereby death. rising forth from the
couch Of lasting night, stealing away with
one who, at the head of large family, gave
movement and direction to all; removing
from sight one of our most prominent citi-
zens and familiar fgur g; and depriving the
mail service of an efficient and well-liked
official. ePt%
The funeral ceremonies-the last sad rites
over an honored dead-were solemnized
from the late residence Tuesday afternoon
under the auspices of Choate Post, q. A. R.,
with Rev. Ballmer officiating. The remains
were laid away in Glenwood cemetery.
David Marshal Jones was born in West
Virginia July 3rd, 1881, of Scotch parentage.
Two years after his birth his parents moved
to Tuscarawas county where he lived until
the war broke out. He was married to
Martha Jane Brown March 9th, 1851. At
the breaking ont of the war he was among
the first to enlist in nations cause, serving
all through the strife and gaining most
enviable war record. He served as First
Lieutenant of Company H, 51st o. V. l..
under Colonel Stanley Matthews.
Shortly after returning from the service
he removed with his family to Napoleon,
which place he has made his residence ever
since--a period of twenty-six years.
J During this time he engaged in several
kinds of business and was more or less be-
fore the people politically -being an out and
out republican, though not to degree that
might be termed offensive partisanship. In
fact, his politics were Of that commendable
form that while there was no doubt respect
ing his good republicanism, he never allow
ed his Belief to assume such expressed
shape as to bitterly antagonize those of diff
ferent opinions. BE was no bitter partisan
and his friends were numbered among
democrats as we'll as republicans. This WAS
demonstrated when be was elected marshal
three times in democratric corporation.
Also when he received his commission as
postmaster Of Napoleon in 1890, it was with
general satisfaction to all regardless of poll
tics. He also served as deputy U. S. Marsh
al several terms.
He was a most respected member and
earnest worker of Choate Post, having serv-
ed two terms as Post Commander.
That Mr.. Jones' demise is greeted with
profound sorrow and sympathy for the
family, we all know; that his familiar form
and cordial manner and accommodating
disposition will be missed on our streets and
In the postofice, we also realize in all its
magnitude, while the fact that we have lost
a citizen whom we can i'll afford to lose will
long remain deplorable one in the men,
