A Great Time for Bargains.

1t is really wonderful to see how
very cheap the Holiday sale books are
being closed out at Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book House. Only day
or two ago we saw DR.. T. step up to
the counter and examine several
volumes of very fine books which in
ordinary times would have sold for 3
or dollars per volume, he picked up
two volumes and said he would give
2 dollars for the two, when he was
politely informed that one dollar and
eigety cents was all that was required
to pay for them both. He took them
both and went away very much
elated over his bargain. There are
hundreds of just such bargains offered
every day at this house. Many and
happy are the people who secure
them. Don't forget to get your al
manacs and dairies for 1895 when
you are in town. They will soon be
gone at Saur & Balsley's drug store
and then you won't know when Sun
day comes.

An attempt was made to rob the
citizens bank at tPerrysburg Saturday
morning. The way the robbery was
frustrated was through burglar
alarm, which the cashier had connect
ing his residence with the bank. The
alarm sounded the warning that all
was not right at the bank, and the
cashier and his son at once started
for the building, and upon arriving
the would be burglars saw them and
made haste to escape they firing three
shots at the cashier and his son in re-
treating. The firing was returned but
none OF the shots took effect. 1t was
a narrow escape for the bank, also for
the cashier and ibis son, who endan-
gered their lives by going to the res
cue.

white frost is sign that warmer

forerunner of spell of dry, cold
weather. Bearded frost indicates a
cold winter with much snow. Hoar
frost is sign of rain. Three white
frosts bring rain every time. A
snow year is a rich year. In winter
expect fair weather from one nights
