Two Firms Make Assignments.

Judge Cuff was routed out early on
Monday morning to make out the
necessary papers in two assignments,
each made for the benefit of creditors.
The two firms assigning were
Rose & Hays, groceries, etc, Ham
Ter, assigned toJ. W. Winn, Defiance.

dertaking, Holgate, assigned to b. W.
Justice, Holgate.
The assets and liabilities of each
have not been learned. These two
are the only failures in this county
for long time, which speaks well for
Henry county and it's business inter
ests. To pass through such a finan-
cial and business depression as the
country has experienced for the past
wear or two with no failures IS re.
markable indeed.
But light is breaking in upon the
results of the viscious republican
legislation, which was the primary
cause of the depression, and an era
of prosperity in business is at hand,
the good effects of the democratic
tariff bill and the financial policy oil

Damages Claimed From the
Buckeye StaYe Co.
Bert H. Stevens, Of Pleasant Bend,
Wants $4,000 for Being In
iuFed By a Saw.

Last Thursday suit was fled with
Clerk Brown by Bert H. Stevens
claiming $751; damages against the
Buckeye Stave Co., of Pleasant Bend.
Mr.. Stevens in his petition states
that he was in the employ of the
Buckeye Stave Co., at Pleasant Bend,
his work being to load stave bolts
from table in front of boiling saw
on to trolley and push the same to
another part of the building. He al
leges that the trolley had long been
in defective condition and that the
company knew of its unsafeness for
use. On the 22nd day of last March
Mr. Stevens was working as usual
and had loaded the trolley with the
stave bolts. AS he was pushing it
away it fell against him knocking
him into the bolting saw which was
in rapid motion. He was seriously
cut in the neck, shoulder, side and
hip, and has been unable to work
ever since.
For this injury, caused he claims
through the negligence of the stave
company, Mr.. Stevens, through his
attorneys Jas. p. Raglan and w. w.
Campbell, claims $4,000 damages.
The case will come up for trial at the
January term of the Common Pleas
Court.

Saur & Balsley are first now, and will
for the next 30 or 40 days make a
special effort to close out their fall
stocks of oils and paints, wall and

line of the latest style window shades,
many of which are very beautiful,
put up on the latest improved rollers,
with or without springs, can also be
had by the yard without rollers, any
of which, to see them, means that
you will buy them, the prices being
so low that no one will go home with
out them. In the line of paints you
will find complete stock at this
house, in all shades and colors, in
any quantity to suit purchasers, and
rather than to carry any of it over
the winter season, they will be, sold
at largely reduced prices.

In answer to numerous inquiries as
to the working and the requirements
of the circle, | take this method of
reaching the different township cir
cles throughout the county.
Any number of teachers, no matter
how small, that can conveniently get
together, can and should organize a
circle. All that is necessary to effect
an organization is to get the books
and begin reading. No certificate of
membership is required. AS Whites
School Management is the leading
work in this years course, it is sug-
gested that the book be taken
at first and continued through
the year until completed; the other
books may be used in connection
with it. The membership is not con-
fined to teachers alone; any one who
wishes may join. The township sec
retaries should collect a membership
fee of twenty-five cents from those
members who have not already paid
and turn it over to the county secre-
tarX any time before May 1st, next.
