Where to Buy Brushes.

Good brushes brushes that do good work
and at the same time wear we'll, especially
such as paint and white wash brushes, are
hard to get. Long experience in the busi-
ness, however, has enabled Saur & Balsley
to get acquainted and deal with the best
manufacturers, and being good judges they
select the best and most reliable which are
made in such manner that they can guar
antee them to give satisfaction in every way
or refund the money. This house also car
ries large and complete stock of clothes
brushes, hair. brushes, scrub brushes, horse
brushes, tooth brushes, in fact almost every
kind of brush that is made. Nearly
these brushes are made from good bristles,
nicely bleached in such way as to give
them the greatest durability. Remember
that if you buy your paint and white wash
brushes at Saur & Balsley's drug and paint
store, that if You happen to get one that
comes to pieces before being worn out, or
even fails to do good work, that it will be
replaced by new one free of charge.

When Figs Grow on Thistles.
We will not be writing advertisements for
the Buckeye Route, which in 1898 will be

superb trains of palatial coaches, parlor

If you are going to Toledo, Detroit or any

the Buckeye Route the shortest and most

TOO LATE
Is the Action Of the Council to
Submit the Bonding
PROPOSITION AT THE AP-
PROACHING ELECTION.
Council Will Ask the Legislature to
Assist.

The village council has had the question
of MISUNDERSTANDING light combination
in its digestive apparatus for many weeks.
1t has availed itself of every opportunity to
gain information on the subject. 1t has
studied the wants of the people and careful
ly estimated the weight of the burden the
people can we'll carry. 1t has nearly ex-
hausted the subject, brought up in every
conceivable form, in council as a body and
committee.
And it has found out what it wants, and
what to the best of its knowledge and belief
the people want.
An informal vote was taken at meeting
Monday evening and all the members pres
ent we're in favor of bonding the town for a
sum not to exceed 5000 for which sum
the council firmly believe, and it knows
whereof such belief is entertained, plant
can be put in.
At another meeting Tuesday evening five
members were present, DR.. Bloomfield being
absent.
The members were in favor of at once CIV
ing the matter into the hands of the voters
at the election in April, but an examination
of the law evidenced that question to bond
the town must have at least four weeks notice
prior to the general election at which it is to
be voted upon.
Thus the council is somewhat late in
making the coming spring election availa-
BILE.
Still not to be outdone, it was decided by
vote to have the Mayor draught bill
granting the village of Napoleon the right
to hold a special election serving the pur-
pose of general election; this to be for
warded to Representative Myers with the re-
quest to have it pass the General Assembly
at the earliest possible date.
BY common consent it was agreed 10 sub
NIT proposition to impose an additional
levy not to exceed five mills, at the same
election.
And thus the matter rests.
The council, after the bill has passed,
will have done its duty. 1t remains for the
people to speak and say what they want.
