THE ORIGINAL ft audio CEN'l HUNTERS. We started these counters last fall, having them in an udioiniiiij lutild- ing, but owing to the inconvenience of the arrangements we were forced, after Jan. 1st, to discontinue them.

Now, having better facilities and having them in the same room, we revive them, mid we confidently assert that vou will find Nights are very cool. Look out for the new butcher shop. M. S. Deal is now in Topeka on business.

These people are makers of the best goods this country has ever seen and at incredibly low prices for such goods.

OUR FALL STOCK of Dry Goods is now coming in and we can offer extra inducements to the cash trade of this county. Come in and look us over. There are some people lu this vicinity who have never been in our store and who are unaw are that they might save some money on their purchases by coining in and getting our prices. That they have not been to see us Is certainly not our fault in not asking them, for every week's issue of the papers here have contained, in aomr form or another, an invitation from us to come in and look at our goods, If ou lunn't, better make a note of it, and do so when in town.

7, 1SHN. liKlllXD THE HI011T This is a simple and common sub ject but equally sis deserving of discus sion. Its simplicity ought not to be placed beneath the dignity of any ones thoughts; nor its commonness be considered sulllcient ground for neglecting Us'lm estigation. It is a habit which has ade inroads into all classes of In the home John Is late to break 'ast As to the church, some, of all of brother As family are late to services. In traveling Honorable Janiei G.

frequently misses the train. Aid even among us who should be distinguished for promptness tardiness is practiced daily. Scarcely a recitation but some one disturbs the instructor and class by his late entrance. On Friday morning the answers to roll call, show that some have been behind at chapel within the weelu On Sabbath morning the people are seen for half an hour coming to Sunday School as though the school was as long in opening. The inilueneo or effect of this practice is more than most an; willing at once to admit.

This is evident from the fact that we want to say too late though it were commendable or a mark of worth to be lata in some small degree. When not a certain degree of lateness should be indulged but Nodegree. It is a lnistake to be late at a 11. Tardiness is exceedingly detrimental to him who indulges in it and also very annoying to his neighbor. It is detrimental because it is a dreadful habit which clings tenaceously to one.

Anyone with a moderate degree of sensitiveness feels abashed at being behind the right time. Yet, like an open wound, notwithstanding its ofi'ensive-ness it is always running. Ho who is addicted to tardiness from youth 'till the age of Jo or even less, will be har-rassed with the plague the remainder of his days, unless ho makes a persistent effort to throw it off, and ho will have the displeasure in retrospecting his past of regretting countless numbers of late moments with all their Knocking consequences, and then no other habit sittaches itself to no many phiwiis of our experience, for in every thiiiL' and everywhere and always there is a possibility of being behind the right time. A man was two minutes behind lime at Fostoria, Ohio, to take a train direct to Chicago, where he should meet a friend who could tarry but it hours to hand him bV)0. The one only condi tion of receiving it was that he meet hiin there in person at that But two minutes avoidable tardiness robbed hiin of a great boon which might have prevented him from future bankruptcy.

Its indulgences also incurs soccial loss If you continue practicing tardiness. the confidence of men will desert you When Washington's secretary excused I himself for the lateness of ids attendance and laid the blame on Ids watch: his master quietly said: "Then you must get another watch or I another secretary." You have been behind so often that men will dually doubt your word concerning other statement. Thus it is shown that to ourselves is incalculable; and it is also exceedingly annoying to others. We cannot enter an assembly without attracting the attention of some one, and thus diverting his inind from the object which engage it, Then you can best know how others are discommoded by our lateness. Let the conductor of a railroad train bo late and 100 passengers may be delayed.

Let a public speaker he, behind and his audience becomes impatient, weary and drowsy. As no pound is lost if the pennies are saved, so if late moments creep not in, you will never blush for slowness; never go hungry because late to dinner, and naver lose respect by tardiness, but when dead there will be raised at your grave a monument on which shall be inscribed the epitaph "Always on Time." Everybody from this city and surrounding country as far as we have heard are going to attend the reunion at Topeka the 1st. Hon. A. J.

Grover, the Union Labor candidate for congress in the first district, will deliver an address in this city the 'loth. Chas. O'Brien, of Olsburg, was in the city last Wednesday, and while here called and subscribed for the Sia- A L. Call at this office and get a copy of Senator Vest's speech before the Senate August, 1888.

Too Frcnh To keep. We owe an apology to our readers for trespassing upon their patience to notice an effusion that was evidently written by a would-be-editor, who was born since the war closed, and who has sibout tha same knowledge of politics sis he hasof the proper construction of the English language. The Olshurg News-Letter contains the following: "The editor of the Westmoreland Signal, like the. southern rebels of which he is an adjunct does not know how to address gentleman or speak of one respectfully without (lucking liim with some military title. He is, however, very careful to not get anything so high as a brigadier that title is used only tor Democratic members of Congress ami cabinet officers but of Colonels has a surplus and no doubt lie MiniiTl-t, liimuf'lt' iti i 1 1 rr I when he dubbed every pciitlemau at- tending the Republican county eou-i ventioii aa Colonel.

We have, always, without any thought of sectional strife, supposed that gentleman and colonel were syn-ouomous terms, and if the boy editor of the News-Letter wishes to distinguish them in the republican party we cannot object. The same youth further says: "His description of the Republican candidate for coroner came about as near being correct as any other part of his report. It was indeed news to Dr. Johnson as well as his friends to learn unit lie was a owedish pnysician and living at Belgarde when heretofore both he and they had considered him a full blooded American and a bona fide resident of Olsburg." The report, of hich the youthful aspirant of editorial honors complains, was correct so far sis we had knowledge at that time, and that knowledge was gained from Dr. Johnson's own statements and from those friends of Mr.

Shriner who gained the worthy doctor a scat in the convention from North Blue Valley precinct. From these representations we had a perfect right to suppose that ho was a Swedish physician, and had no rigid to connect him with the full blooded American who is a bona tide resident of Olsburg precinct in that township. The boy has probably read ere this the full report of the proceedings of the Democratic County Convention, referred to by him as "the mob that met at the court house last Saturday." lie has undoubtedly learned that that "mob" was composed of the sterling brains, worth and intellect of Potta watomie county, and that after mature deliberation they were willing to dis play the names of Kate Hutchinson, II. II. Ayer, Shaw, Schatz, Grover, Nealis and August Ernst, as their ticket, and one that every democrat will stand by, and no honest man ob ject to.

As to the decorum of that committee it compared well with any republican committee ever held in the county. Harmony and unanimity of sentiment prevailed. Col. Whims returned lrom the re union at Columbus Monday, and re ports a grand time. He visited the Ohio Centennial exhibition at Cincin: nati.

Ingraham VanDusen are building an addition to their livery barn. This enlargement is due to an increaro in their business. Samuel Mosier of Randolph, is talking of moving to this city shortly and starting a barber shop in his building on Main street. Father Emmons visited St. George mis et't.

A. Marry but we hope that the attack may be light. Soon be time to black your stoves, and lick your wife because the stovepipe joints won't lit. Daniel Keller is the boss mud car penter, and if you have any doubts give him a trial job. R.

C. Burkett started Wednesday to visit friends and relatives in the southern part of the State. To this woman: If you have chick ens take them to W. J. Downing and ex change them for furniture.

The Ilavensville base ball nine are to cross willows, with Westmoreland nine in this city this afternoon. The cattle sale at this place last iturday was well attended, and the stock sold for good round prices. L. II. Finney, cadidateon the repub lican side for attorney, was the city looking after his fences Wednesday.

Under the troiilinent of Dr. Spangler the sick and afflicted in and around the city, are all ou a fair way to recovery. Uncle Mose Davis and family started to California, Monday. Westmoreland has lost one of her most respected citi zens. XoMo McComas performed the circus ict again by falling off a horse that was standing still near the public well, Monday.

Dr. Keys arrived in the city last Monday, and is so well pleased with the place that he has decided to locate here. lie has been in the practice of medicine for thirty years and comes otherwise well recommended.
