elegant line of pocket books for both
ladies and gents. All the latest fads.
Mark Hanna says, very truthfully,
that the people wanted little change
in '92 and they elected Grover Cleve-

change they wanted.

a Jew peddler was robbed last Saturday,
while stopping at q Sinnamahoning
hotel. Goods to the value of $3.50 were
taken. We guess some member of Pap
Blodgett's Sunday school class imposed

Never in the history of Cameron
county was there as little drunkness on
election day. Yet the returns from
some sections of the county would lead
one to think there surely had been
liquor or some other influence at work
equally as strong.
Judge Olmsted, of Mexican county
has ordered all convicted illegal liquor
sellers who are now serving their time,
to work out their sentence at breaking
stone at 81 day. By this way they
will be doing practical good and illegal
liquor selling will not be SO popular.
The great numbers of North Ameri-
cans circulated throughout Cameron
county by our friend Hockey, chair
man of the democratic party had a
wonderful effect. Col. Barnett received
the largest vote cast for any candidate
on either state ticket in theis county.
The people of Cameron took no stock
in the character assassins.
The author of David Harum died so
poor that when his estate was settled
up his three children had nothing. The
book, however, proved bonanza for
the children, they having realized up to
June 1st of this year vbout $11 900, and
since then the book has been sell
ing at the rate of fifteen hundred day,
80 that their future welfare is secured.
What pity the author could not live
to see the great success of his book.
Ex-Repr preventative G. w. Stone, who
concluded his four terms in Congress
on the 3rd of last March, was in Wash
ington recently, according to a news
paper report, closing up his business
affairs and practically saying farewell
to the n ational capital. He has no ex.
pee tations of going to Congress in the
future and has disposed of all the pro-
perty of which he was possessed in
Washington. Although real estate is
still suffering from the drop in prices
which came with the depression of
business a few years ago, Mr.. Stone
made a good turn in the sale of his
pretty residence at 46 B street, North
east. He paid $4,000 for it; lived in it
eight years, and sold it for little more
than ST 900 cash. This, with his pro
perty in Warren county and invest
ments on the Pacific coast, makes Mr. =
Stone gentleman of very comfortable
wealth. Warren Mirror.
