Hige Berry, aged 20 years, living
just across the river from this place,
in Ohio, committed suicide Sunday,
by shooting himself. He had some
financial troubles, his property a
few days before being sold under
mortgages and this so preyed upon
him, as to unbalance his mind,
which led to his taking his own life.

Look ONT for Sonn SMindlers.


The soap swindlers, whom we
have cautioned our readers SO much
against, are heading this way. Yes
terday they were at fredericksburg,
about 20 miles above here on the
X. & NJ, and feeced a number of
unsuspecting people. They are now
probably in Mason county, and will
play the same game on you, if you
are not on your guard. They are
plausible takers, and you would mt
think sugar would melt in their
mouths, but Notwithstanding all
this they are the slickest swindlers
travelling. They propose to give
you % or 80 cakes of soap for 81 90,
and after they return to their homes
will send you in addition a 30 piece
china dinner set. You get about
20 cents worth of soap for your
dollar and never see the dishes. If
you are swindIed now, it is
because you are ignorant and
don't read the county papers, and
a man who won't subscribe and pay
for his county paper, ought to be
swindled by sharpers every day of
his life.
