An exchange truthfully remarks: If
a doctor makes mistake, he buries it;
II q merchant makes a mistake, he
never tells it; If a lawyer makes mis-
take, he crawls out Of it; If an editor
makes a mistake, he puts it upon a
large piece of paper for the world to
look at, and in every community there
zre cranks who think they are models
Of wisdom because they occasionally
discover them, and for week keep
telling OF their greatness for astute
wisdom

An exchange wants to know il prin-

abstract proposition, backed by a
sweeping scriptural injunction, they
should not. Judged from the stand
point of mortal frailty and the doctrine
OF total depravity, they haye little
sbctter right than almost any other
cinss to get madder than helen blazes!

ELECTION NEWS.
Many Were Elected to Ofiicc and Many |
Others to Stay mt Homo.

The Spring election is over and
everybody's glad of 1t. In Porrysburg
there are very few Republicans who
are glad there was an election while
many others say-"Don't mention it,
There is one good feature aboHt our
"Spripg politics" this year, and that is
the fact that both parties put good men
in the field, and those who were elected
are good citizens and competent to
attend 70 the duties of their respective
offices.
But there is one thing for which
Perrysburg Republicans are entitled
! to take tho prize, and that ONE thing
is the fact that they are such success
full hands at going into caucus and
nominating candidates for the various
offices and then go to the polls and
vote for their opponents. Its brave
man who will accept nomination at
the hands of the Republicans of Per-
rysburg, unless he does as Kingsbury
did-get on both tickets-and even
then a fellow will get ripped up the
back once in a while.
There is only one man on the Re-
publican ticket who was defeated for
whom we feel no grief, viz: "Cunnel"
Pierce. After all our hard work to
secure his nomination, so that the
Office of Justice might be filed by one
who was so capable oil holding aloft

and killed off his friends, while Timothy,
the clever and shrewd, raEed in the

agreement, we must give u 320 PACED

grieve, and the next time we trot out
a candidate in the hope of swiping
the enemy, it won't be II silver crested
hero like Pierce on whom we pin our
faith, you bet. Since Pierce was so
badly "cowed' last Fall he hasn't been
able to run worth a cent.

The Philadelphia Press, republican

The Philadelphia Press, republican,
thus attempts to cajole democrats:
"But if they really imagine that re-
publicans want the senate and will make
an effort to get it they may as we'll dis
miss that idea. The republicans want
nothing Of the kind. On the contrary,
since there is to be a democratic presi
dent they desire that the house and
senate shall be OF the same politica
| complexion. They believe it better il
every way that there shall be no divided
responsibility. They are anxious tina
accountability for all measures of legis
lation and administration shall be clear
direct and unmistakable. The peopl
have voted for u trial Of democrati
policy, and the republicans want then
to have it,"
If the Press will cast it's eye this wa

can game being played ns ever was a,

Hundreds CT our customers, re-
membering OUR GREAT QUAR-
TER OFF CASH BARGAIN SALE
during the holidays OF last year,
have repeatedly asked us it we
would give them the same oppor-
tunity to buy again this season.
After having duly considered the
matter we have decided to again
throw profits to the four winds,
comply with the request OF our
patrons, and inaugurate a sale that
for good round bargains will again
excite the wonder and surprise of
our competitors and the admiration
of our customers. People wonder
how we can do this. 1t is no secret.
While we slaughter thousands and
thousands of dollars worth OF
goods that there is not one cent
profit in to US, the magnitude and
daring of such a sale cannot but
advertise and bring us before the
generous public in a manner that
they will not soon forget. Why,
our great discount sale of last year
| that has been SO much talked about
and is yet fresh in the public mind,
was the greatest and best adver-
tisement we have ever had. Our
large stock OF last year has swelled
to proportions that would do credit
to Chicago or New York. Every
nook and corner OF each depart
ment is brim full OF the choicest
and best goodSithe market affords,
and we are going to throw this en-
tire and complete stock of elegant
goods open to the public at one
fourth (25 per cent? off for cash. In
order to give all a chance who
wish to purchase their holiday
presents early we will begin this
sale tomorrow, Monday, Deem
Der the 10th, and continue To-
seven days, ending Saturday, De
cember the oath. Our goods are
all marked as usual, in plain fig
ures, and you will get one-fourtl
off the marked price. Thus, a sui
marked and worth $4,000, will
only cost you $500 during thi
sale.
We are convinced morethan eve
that Jul low prices are our best an
greatest advertisement to tn
public.
Come early and select your goods
