per after lecture,
Mr.. JoHN GODFREY, of Gala
mine, showed up this week with the
handsomest phaeton-seat top buggy
seen in this city for many a day.
1t has the ease and comfort of a
phaeton and the style of light
top buggy, and is admired wherever
seen. But, best of all, it was
bought of Fitzgibbons Bros, Of
Monroe, at wholesale prices. lw
LAST Tuesday Messrs j. M. Null
hahn ID. jenkins and Alder Appel
skipped the city before the break of
dawn. 1t was learned afterwards
that they were headed northwest,
and they might have been going yet
had they not beeu intercepted by a
stream which gave forth strongly
the odor Of trout. They tried their
luck and succeeded in capturing
sixty.five beauties, and hastened
home TO make report.
For advertising space and locals
which we would ask any merchant
in the city at least $40, the Ringing
Bros, men who have made a
fortune in the circus business, had
the effrontery to offer So and four
tickets. No unpaid agency has
been more the cause Of the success
of this show than the press, aud
this is a sample of appreciation. No
wonder it is being overtaken by
railroad wrecks and lightning.
"THIs is practical demonstration
of the saying that every man ought
to have his name printed on his
envelopes" said postmaster, point
ing to three or four letters held for
postage. "any man is likely to put
a letter in the postoflice without
stamping it, With a card on the
corner of the envelope, we can
stamp it and collect the postage
when the writer comes in. We
don't know who dropped those
letters in the box and must hold
them until we write to the persons
addressed and they send us the
postage. That is the rule of the
postoffice department"
THE meeting of the board of re-
view Of this city, which was set for
last Monday, has been postponed un-
till next Monday. II is hoped, when
the members Of this board are sitting
that they will act, or in other words
industriously proceed with the re.
viewing, examining and adjusting of
the assessment roll of real and per.
sonal property. There is no equality
it as it aow stands. For years
some citizens have paid twice as
much taxes on real estate as their
neighbors, while the actua. value Of
their property was no more. 1t is
the business of the equalizing board
to adjust such matters. Will it be
done?
A GOOD wife and mother wen
to her final rest early last Tuesday
morning, June 27th, when Mrs.
Nicholas Kessler breathed her last.
For some years deceased has been
afflicted with heart disease, and to
such an extent the last year that she
was confined to her bed. During
the thirty odd years Of Mrs.
Kesslsr's residence in this city she
constantly proved a faithful wife
and mother and a most excellent
neighbor While sick her sufferiugs
were intense but patience aud
