Bacar A Bond I propose to keep everything usually kept by first a class house and will sell General Batter's Candidacy Gn Butler having been nominated by the anti monopolists and by the Greenbackers as the Presidential can didate of the two parties baa at last decided to be a candidate As neither aj tha parties of which General Butler is the representative has enough votes in the United States to give him a single representative in the Electoral College it is evident he is running not to secure his own election but to com pass some other defeat General Butler proposes to wait before issuing bis formal letter of acceptance until Mr Cleveland has issued his It would seeps as if General Butler if he has any principles be is willing to avow and advocate ought not to be so timid about putting them before the American people that he 'desires to wait until all the other candidates have presented their letters If he de sires to make capital out of the flaws he can pick in his princi ples lie certainly has no very good grounds for asking the people for their suffrages 1 It will not strike the Amer ican voters that that is a very fair or honest way of managing a campaign teat as his supporters will mainly be the cranks of the country his methods will not drive them from his support 1 have employed Isaac Pidgeon a man with a thorough knowl edge of the businessv as clerk and with' his assistance will make every effort to please all customers who may favor me with a call forget that my stock is all even if they do not win tho indoisc ment of intelligent people As an An ti

manufacturers are showing confidence in current prices although still complaining of the dull and back ward sale of their goods Notwith standing the depressed condition of the cloth marker quite a number of the largest consumers consider wool a safe investment and some large pur chases have been made for mills that are preparing to close fora few weeks In the room formerly occupied by Haynes Glass as a dry goods store Scioto Valley air The prospects for a large and suc cessful air this year are very encour aging Secretary Woodrow says he has been receiving from ten to twenty letters every

Races Combination has created quite an interest throughout Southern Ohio and if we have fair weather there will be no less than 20 000 people on the grounds on the usu al big day of the exhibition Thursday The track has been greatly improv ed and is now one of the best half mile tracks in Ohio The grounds are acknowledged to be os fine as any in the State being amply shaded with largo trees The accommodations on the grounds are complete and nothing will be left undone for the comfort of those who come from a distance Remember the date August 26 to 26 3 4ihc Display visitors to the fair last week on tering the west wing of loral Hall were attracted by large fine silver mo'unted glassjshow case from which Boated on the last day of the fair a red premium card Close inspection dis closed the fact that contained fine sets of harness and ft card announced to the public that it had been manu factured by Tom McDermott the well kuowa saddler and harness maker of South street It was a fine display the harness being simply perfect as to workmanship and beautiful as to fiu insh and arranged in the case with ex cellent taste Beyond that extending towards the center of the Hall were hung and displayed over racks robes of all kinds from the finest fur down through the woolens to the cheaper grades People were surprised that as tine a stock of robes and harness to gether with whips and everthing in that line were kept in town And here after whenever an article of that kind is wanted there is no need of visiting cities to procure it but call on Mr McDermott and with his experienced ideas of the business the most fastid ious can be accommodated time forward by the prosperous con dition or otherwise of the woolen ufacturing business Receipts have fallen off and the supply of

attended the school of Jlolhngs worth At this school the writer hereof became first acquainted with deceased who was then in hia seventeenth year He was at that time and indeed ever since in delicate health He was a fair student but was so timid and nerv our that lie could never be induced to take part in any public reading or ora torical effort His fellow students will remember him better for his kindness and urbanity his generous! and affec tionate disposition than for any un usual feats of intellectual effort Af ter attending school fora considerable period he contemplated tor a time en tering upon the profession of a teacher but his natural timidity caused him to abandon the idea He then entered upon the mercantile line with his un cle Betts and later becajne a partner in the firm

manners when such sufferings as his would have confined most persons to the privacy of retirement in the siek room But the fatal hour came at last all too soon Many sympathizing friends expresstheir regret tkat they did not call upon him and extend their kind wishes and attention in his last short illness His career is done He will be well and favorably remembered by all who knew him He was an up right conscientious citizen an honor able business man a wdrtu fpend te nacious of his likings and loyal ever to those who were tried and true Though lenient and apt to palliate the foibles and errors of others no man had a more intense hatred of cruelty and brutality Well do we remember the indignant sparkle of his great dark eyes at incidents when these dastardly trails were exhibited or related His vwm nf suffering are over his battle for life is ended his impulses are hushed The fire of his eyes te quenched he met death without re luctance and calmly went to the grave to await the
