The idea of a great bodyof intelligent people, such as reside in thiscommunity, being cursed by the "busi-ness" of a few drunken loafers, is not tobe tolerated longer, and it ought to beimpressed upon everybody.

Mr. M. B. Shaffer died at his home onPortsmouth Street, on Monday afternoonabout three o'clock. His death was caus-ed by disease of the stomach. He wasperhaps sixty years of age, and had beena sufferer for a long time. Deceased camehere several years ago, and worked aslong as he was able to work for L. May,the Contractor. Mr. Shaffer came toOhio from Pennsylvania. We had knownhim intimately for several years, and donot remember to have seen a more thor-oughly upright, conscientious, Christiangentleman. He had been a Church mem-ber for many years, and at the time ofhis death was a member of the ChristianChurch of this place.

Fall and Winter Goods arc now all in and great care has been taken to buy only such Book; and Shoes as will giveentire satisfaction. There is nothing trashy in the entire stock and every person buying a pair of Boots or Shoes at thisstore can rest assured that no where else in the county could the same article be bought for the amount of money paid.

The statement that appears in the advertisements of some of the Dry Goods Houses that handle a few Boots andShoes, that no Shoe Store can sell Boots and Shoes as low as they can, because they have other lines on which to maketheir money, is so shabby a misrepresentation that it will deceive no one, and they ought to have sense enough to see itthemselves, and the fact that they do business on a back street and know but little about what Boots and Shoes areworth or are selling at in the business part of town, will not protect them from the harmful effects of a statement so sillyand false and that will tend to cast suspicion upon anything else they may have to say.

If these Dry Goods Houses that have their little Shoe Departments, as they call them, would make a candid, truthfulstatement to the public, it would run about as follows: When in need of Dry Goods and Notions bring your money andproduce to us; but when in need of Boots and Shoes you can, undoubtedly, save from 10 to 15 per cent by buying themat the Shoe Store of R. W. THOMAS. He is in the Shoe business exclusively and carries an immense stock of goodsin that line, is better posted in that branch of business than we are, and can tell you more about the quality of Bootsand Shoes than we can. We keep a few Boots and Shoes though and will sell to you as low as Ave can ; but we don'tpromise to sell you goods in that line as cheap as you can buy them at the Shoe Store of R. W. THOMAS, because heelys a thousand dollars worth to our one hundred dollars worth and of course gets much lower rates on themthan we do, and is enabled to sell his Shoes at about what we pay for ours, at least that is what some of our customerstell us, and we expect it's about so, for it seems that nearly everybody now goes to

In those days snakes wereremarkably numerous in that section, andwhen, in plowing, this farmer killed asnake, he just threw it into a furrow andcovered it up. When questioned as towhy he did this he replied : "Why, youdon't want to throw them snakes away.They're some account yet. They makegood fertilizers.
