Chas. Kuntz, the Martin street grocer, has fitted up quite a cozy little establishment. The Star Restaurant on East Third. street satisfied the appetites of fifty hungry souls on Monday. New brick sidewalks have been put down between Third and Fourth on West Sycamore street.

Mrs. Bert Snyder is still in Dayton under treatment. Her many friends hope she will soon recover. A new saloon has been opened the old Ollmetzer room on West Main street, near Public Square. Look out to-day for the confidence men who usually follow a circus.

Don't bet against any stranger's game, or you will come to grief. A new boarder came to the Turpen House last week, and as it was handsome bunch of Grapes they took it in. It's a boy and doing well. One of our Greenville ladies was an enthusiastic admirer of the Bethel Band Monday, and thought they ought to have received the third prize. If you want an extra butter cow, come to the sale of Jerseys, next Saturday afternoon on Public Square at two o'clock.

They are as fine as you ever saw. Married, by George Schlechty, J. at his residence in Neave township, Darke county, on June 80th, Henry Dubbs to Miss Annie Fellers, both of this county. The result of Greenville's Fourth stands recorded on the Mayor's docket as follows: One assault, one plain drunk, two drunk and disorderly, one assault and drunk. The two ex-dignitaries from Bradford, who made such a display in front of the Wagner House on Monday evening, should have paid for the toothpicks used, at least.

The trade of Chas. P. Kuntz, in his new grocery on Martin street, is steadily increasing. Customers calling on him will receive prompt attention in both English and German. Have you seen Heath Holden's herd of Jerseys at the Fair Grounds? They are beautiful animals, and will be sold at auction next Saturday, the 10th, on Public Square, this city.

John Farstenau is with Chas. P. Kuntz, on Martin street, and will be pleased to wait on his numerous old friends, as well as the public in general. 10-tf Another lot of those fine mackerel in ten-pound tin pails at Blottman's at only eighty-five cents. These mackerel have given the best satisfaction here--this is the third consignment.

A lady writer asks, "Why don't bachelors marry?" That's so -why don't they? Come to think about it, we have never yet seen a bachelor who was married. It's lamentable, too. The President last Tuesday, conforming to the legislation of Congress, nominated Fitz-John Porter to be a Major-General in the army on the retired list. He will be confirmed by the Senate, and will, in all respects, bear the same relation to the army of the United States as if he had served continually. Married, at the "McWhinney Barracks," on South Broadway, on the evening of July 4th, by Mayor Arnold, William Bounds, of Union City, to Miss Jennie Forney, of Greenville.

This was His Honor's first occasion in the matrimonial line, and it is said he performed the duties amid broad smiles and some blushing confusion. Last week the Union City base ball club agreed to play the "Mixed Pickles" on Monday at this place, and arrangements had been made for their reception, but fearing a repetition of the results met with in former games with our boys, they thought it best to stay at home with what little reputation they now have as base ballists. Just send Stokley, "four kicker," over to baa at them. John Froeba, a young fellow attending the Normal School, and a man who has been selling whips on our streets for some time past, quarreled about a girl at a boarding-house on Main street Monday evening, and finally settled the matter by a fisticuff combat, which, after a few blows, was called a draw, and they are now using porterhouse steaks to restore their pates to the natural color. Sunday morning slips of paper were found pasted on gate posts, telegraph poles, gas lamps, in various parts of town, which seemed quite mysterious and caused a good deal of comment among citizens.

In the upper left-hand corner were a cross-bones and skull with "Memento Mori;" below, and on the right-hand corner, a heart pierced by a dagger, under it the Latin phrase "Sic semper tyrannis." The remainder was a senseless composition of Roman figures. It was written in red ink. 1 1 NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION. Excursion to Topeka, via PanHandle Route. For the meeting of the National Educational Association to be held in Topeka, July 9th to 16th, 1886, excursion tickets will be sold to Topeka and return, by the Pittsburgh, and St.

RED RIVER, July 6, 1886. Mike Dwyre and family, of Greenville, are visiting at Martin Dwyre's this week. Rev. A. Long, of Versailles, deliva fine discourse at the Union Chapel last Sunday.

Another Democratic increase in that Republican stronghold, Circle Hill. He is boarding at Sam MeBride's. We understand that that "Little Fraud," of Gettysburg, has been getting off something smart on the redmustached leader of the Citizens' Union Band. That is all right; he recovered his music and horn the next week. Just before closing this little racket, we learn with unbounded satisfaction that our Citizens' Union Band came off victorious yesterday at the Band Tournament at Greenville.

Our. citizens are so elated that they are all building summer kitchens, and will undoubtedly petition to Congress for a Government building. R. R. R.

D. S. HIME, P.M. A deplorable case of wholesale polsoning occurred at a picnic near St. Louis last Saturday.

Fully two thousand people were present, many of whom partook of ice cream and lemonade on the grounds. That night and next day more than two hundred persons were taken violently ill, and three bave died. Many more are not expected to live. The ice cream was served from an old copper kettle that had not been used for a year, and half a box of matches were found in the lemonade barrel after the lemonade bad been drank. While bathing at Ludlow Falls, some distance north of West Milton, Obio, about nine o'clock Monday night, Tony Hicks got into a whirlpool and was drowned.

He was about twenty-five years of age, and lived at Piqua, Ohio. Hicks had been employed at a quarry near by. A GOOD MAN PASSES AWAY. Rev. J.

A. Meeks, Having Fought the Good Fight, Passes Peacefully and Painlessly to His Eternal Home. The utmost surprise and sad regret was felt when it was announced this morning that the Rev. Jas. A.

Meeks, for many years an active and useful pastor in our city, had departed this life. Rev. Meeks was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, in sight of the home of Thomas Jefferson, on December 6, 1818. While he was quite young his parents moved to Kentucky. He was educated at Danville, Kentucky, College and at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, graduating at the latter institution in 1831 with General Sam.

F. Cary, He studied theology two years under Dr. Bishop, finishing in 1838, during which year he was married to the wife who survives him. He began his pastoral labors at Connersville, Indiana, and afterwards served at Bellefontaine, Greenville, Piqua, Huntsville, Ada, Findlay, and churches in the vicinity of this city. He had been in good health the day previous to his death and seemed especially happy.

He died between. the hours of two and five o'clock this morning, having been found dead at the latter hour. The cause of his death was angina pectoris. The deceased leaves a widow and seven children. He became pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this city in 1855, continuing in charge until 1865.

During his administration the present house of worship was built for the church. He became pastor of the Congregational Church at its organization in 1865, continuing in that position for five years. He was a grand and good man, an able, Christian minister and a true -Findlay Republican. ROSE HILL ITEMS. ROSE HILL, July 5, 1886.

Annual Meeting of the Greenville Picnic Club. About twelve couples met at Judge Meeker's residence at seven o'clock on the morning of the 4th, with wellfilled baskets, aud started for Greenville Falls, Miami county, to indulge in their annual picnic.

Arriving at the Falls at about ten o'clock, many of them were "surprised" to find Lohman's Orchestra there ahead of them. Hammocks were put up and all the "trimmings" brought forth to enable the party to run a picnic in the most approved style. After listening to excellent music by the orchestra and some fine singing by the ladies, preparations were made for dinner--and such a dinner! The young ladies were highly complimented on their skill in getting up something good to eat. After viewing the beautiful grounds, Mr. and Mrs.

Routsong invited the party to their pleasant residence, where they were agreeably entertained with music, After tea on the grounds, the party started for home, tired, of course, but convinced that they had spent a ant day and had a royal good time.

We have received a copy of the itinerary of the tenth annual Bee Line pleasure party to the Rocky Mountains and Pacific Coast, which will leave Cleveland, July 20th, 1886. Certainly much care and attention have been given to the careful preparation of the tour, which enables one to see the principal points of interest in the mountains at the least expense, and with the least possible loss of time.

This, by the way, is one of the praiseworthy features of the excursion, which has made them 80 deservedly popular with business men and others who desire a season of recreation and rest away from the busy marts of life and amid the bracing air of the mountains.
