l. to the shorn lamb. This
saying is familiar in every,
household, and reaches out
much farther than the literal
meaning implies. From it we
infer that when the lamb is
shorn of his feecy coat, the
weather clerk is more lenient
in distributing weather; but
the same condition can be
traced in all our transactions
with each other. 1t is human
nature so to do. For illustra-
ton:
Nobody doubts the exis-
tence of a certain tightness in

which are many and diversi

For this reason merchants are
"tempering the wind by re.
ducing prices, thereby cutting
the margins down to a bare
living existence.
As usual, Saur & Balsley
take the lead in this gigantic
Job of "tempering,' and are
submitting prices in their sew
eral departments that will b'
received with open arms, so K
speak, by the most slender
purse. Thousands of dollar
have, in the past few months
gone out of Henry county tt

must pay for this, and in ac
cordance with a well known
axiom in political economy
it devolves upon the mer
chant to bear the brunt o
this expense by selling at I
sacrifice in order that the peo
pie may continue to buy ne
cessities. Saur & Balsley, al
ways first to grasp the true sit
uation have adopted a system
of prices most gratifying t.
purchasers. It must be re

Saturday Bill Whistler and Chas Pedro,

DR.. II. b. Powell aud John b. Mess
Have Narrow Escapes.

Saturday night as John B. Mess and son
were driving across the river bridge enroute
for their home in Marion township the bug
gy wheel "locked" with the hub of wagon
going in the same direction. His horse was
colt and given to running away at even a
ghost of chance. This instance proved no
exception and he at once dashed ahead at a
break neck speed striking telegraph pole
near theice house. The bugg, was demolished
and both Mess and his boy thrown violently
out. Mess struck telegraph pole and the
boy struck him. The result was that he re-
ceived severe bruises while the son practi-
cally escaped.
The unfortunate man was picked up in an
insensible condition and DR.. Powell who
was passing, was called. He examined the
injuries and finding no bones broken,
turned the patient over to DR.. Harrison who
had previously been sent for.
Smash Up No. 2.
DR.. Powell continued his trip on down to
Shunk.and upon returning met with an &C.
cident of more serious nature, The night
was darker than ton thousand black cats, ae
the expression goes, and while driving at q
good gait along the Mitchell road he was run
into by team driven by the Hits boys.
Katie Powell, a girl aged about IL years,
accompanied the Doctor and the first thing
he knew both he and she we're in the ditch
with the buggy on top. 1,The horse too was
| lying on his back.
With the greatest difficulty the DR.. sue
ceeded in righting buggy and horse and
drove home. An examination proved thai
| four ribs had been fractured and several bad
bruises sustained. The girl was unhurt.

the Congregational church last Tuesday
evening was one of the interesting events
of the week. The attendance was not as
large as il should have been at SO inter

Dolly McCollum-The terrible Con-
hagration.

The judges selected to make the award
were Prof. Varney, principal OF the Or
tonville schools; Prof. Rock, principal Of
the Big Stone schools and Rev. Lowering
of Twin Brooks, but the latter not being
able to be present, Mr.. G. s. Rix was
chosen in his place. With the excep-
ton of the latter the judges were entire
strangers to the contestants and were
seated in different parts Of the ball while
making their markings, which were
made on voice, articulation. gestures,
memory and general effect. The mark
ings OF the judges resulted in the award
OF the medal to Miss Jessie Stearns with
Miss Josie Fanset very close second.
The young ladies all did remarkably
well and are to be congratulated on the
very pleasing entertainment they pro-
vided, although but one OF them could
secure the trophy. While the commit
