A MODEL STORE.
Description of One of Oakland's CoInpIet,
Business HOuses


Business Houses.
A reporter of THE REPUBLICAN
called on the firm of j. NJ. Davis &
Son, and was shown through their
complete store. The front has been
recently repaired from the damages
OF the recent fire and presents pleas
ing appearance. On entering the
door one is impressed with the neat
appearance of everything about the
building. On one side of the first
floor can be found a complete line of
granite and tinware, nails. glass, etc.
The line of these goods is complete in
every detail. In the centre of this
floor they have just placed a fine line
/ OF china and queensware, glassware,
lamps, etc. This is as handsome and
complete display of these goods as
we have ever seen in Oakland. and
consists of dinner, tea and toilet sets.
besides a large number of fancy
pieces suitable for presents and the
holiday trade. On the right of the
first floor is kept a complete stock of
builders hardware, cutlery, silver
ware, etc, in fact everything in this
line kept in tirst-cass hardware
store.
On the second floor we were first
shown well equipped work shop for
the manufacture of stove pipe, etc.
On this floor is also complete line of
cooking and heating stoves. harness.
woodenware and a surplus stock of
granite and tinware. In cookers
they have from the cheapest stove to
a complete assortment of the latest
improved Cinderella ranges. Their
heating stoves include the heavy cast
iron and single and double heater
Cinderella oaks, Franklins, etc. A
novelty is a new alright wood
heater. They also carry a complete
line of tools, paints, brushes, sporting
goods, farming implements, wagons.
| etc.
! 1t will pay anyone. whether YOU
want to buy or not, to visit this store
and see the completeness of every
line they carry. The window display
| is excellent and attracts numbers of
people. Taking it all in all we doubt
if there is another town the size of
Oakland can furnish a better hard
/ ware store. The clerks are gentle
manly and obliging, which contrib
utes much to the success of the estab-
lishment.

Newton Frazee, brother of the well
known Prof. G. W. Frazee, died at his
fathers home on Thursday evening,
September Goth, after an illness of
Ssfe no1ths, aged 81 years, 10 months
and % DAYS.
Newton was young man of excep-
tionally good character and was loved
| and esteemed by all who knew him.
He was very much devoted to home
and his aged parents, and was seldom
seen from home, his whole purpose in
life seemed to be to care for his aged
parents, and was never found in bad
company or engaged in mischievous
sports so common among most young
| men. He bore his affection (Which
was severe) with christian fortitude
and patiently awaited for that silken
cord that bound his life to this world,
to be severed, that his spirit might be
free to go home where there is no
pain. He was taken to the Big
Crossing church, followed by one of
the largest funeral professions ever
seen in our neighborhood, where Rev.
N. Hart preached an interesting
| funeral discourse from the 18th Psalm.
after which he was laid to rest in the
cemetery adjoining the church.
The family, and especially the aged
parents, have the sincere sympathy
of the entire community in their sad
| bereavement. J. NJ.

day nominated Thomas A. Poffen
berger, of the Hagerstown bar. for
Congress.
The nomination was not only a case
OF dark horse, but it was case where
there was no other horse in the race.
1t was in the nature of decided sur
prise, Mr.. Poffenberger's name re-
ceiving very little mention prior to
the convention. The delegates to the
convention caucused in vain for three
hours on the night preceding. and
spent much time in caucus on the day
OF the convention. The formal gath
ering of the delegates was delayed for
that reason from II to o'clock. and
when it did occur it had been decided
to nominate Mr.. Poffenberger, and
not require the candidate to paw any
expenses of the campaign other than
his personal travelling expenses.

we cannot defend it to them, the cause

Next, we must defend it to the bust
ness men of this country, whose ships

1--WE must defend it to the men who

is to sustain the administration. So,
now, as 1 said when the war of the re-
