Given a Chance to Settle.

Nelsonville, o., Feb, Is The
case of George Gulley, the council
man, who was arrested here on a
charge preferred against him by
the Sunday Greek Company, of
obtaining money under false pre-
tense, was postponed,
The hearing was set for Satur-
day morning but owing to the fact
that negotiations are pending that
may cause a settlemenl of the at
fair without prosecution of the
defendant the adjournment was
taken.
1t is understood that the Sunday
Creek Company will withdraw the
charges providing that Gulley can
make good the money unlawfully
drawn from them during the two
or three years that this has been
going on. The sum taken in this
time aggregates nearly $500 90.
Gulley has property in Columbus
and this will probably be turned
over to the Company to make good
the amornt taken,

our Colonels and Majors pushed

During this winter there has
sprung up some very interesting
correspondence between our towns
man John w. Tritsch, o soldier Of
the Union Army and some southern
gentlemen, that were soldiers of
the Confederate Army.
Comrade Tritsch knew the
names and numbers Of the confed-
crate regiments that so successful
ly resisted the Union forces at the
battles Of Chickamauga, Chata-
nooga and contingent struggles, in
which Mr. Tritsch was enlisted on
the Union side. It was Of much
interest to him to know whether
any Of those brave soldiers of the
southern coufederacy were yet
living after this half century of
time had wrought it's withering

Advertising Safeguards
Business.

There is no assurance but in n
certainty when it comes to a mat
ter of business conditions, and
that certainty can only be obtained
by thorough and persistant adver-
tising. Be the business what it
may, it can stand on no firmly es-
tablished footing except it he
placed there by publicity of the
right sort, and plenty oft.
Advertising is therefore not on
ly a business builder, but a bust
ness safeguard, performing swift
ly and surely the two greatest
possible services, performing them
with an accuracy and generosity
of measure that only few years
ago would have been considered
impossible.
A curious and helpful feature
of well established advertising is
the almost mechanical, quiet i'm
personal way it has of going
straight on with its work entirely
regardless of any mental wavering
or uncertainty on the part of the
advertiser, carrying him over weak
places of which he may even be
himself unconscious, and produo,
ing bit OF success at a moment
when he is inclined to feel slow in
his mind n-Fame.

and ordered my regiment to circle
to hear sentence plounced, and if

he had done wrong to have

his hat and said, boys of old 25th.
when your flag barrier fell with
his face to foe, this boy as you
know, renched it from his dead
comrades hand, and held it aloft,

was torn all to atoms and shot off

three hearty cheers were given

Yankee Captain and private sold

After a South African Storm.

With the breaking of the day I went outside. The country was unrecogniza- ble. The land and the scenery which I had known for years were entirely al tered. The very hills, piled high with white hailstones, were a different shape, and torrents of muddy water poured down from all sides. And when the red sun rose into clear bright sky the scene of ruin and desolation was awful to look at. Buildings had been hurled to the ground and were nothing more than hills of hailstones. A large dam I had spent two years in making had been completely swept away. In another dam which had re- mained unbroken the hailstones had accumulated and piled themselves up over twenty feet in height. There was not sign of water in this huge dam, just huge pile of frozen hailstones.- Wide World Magazine.
