Thursday last our old time friend, L. W. Beck, of New Home town- ship, gave us a pleasant and sub- stantial call. He was accompanied by his two sons and also his two nephews, Stephen and George Beck, ot Lebanon, Ind., who are on their way to Texas to spend the winter for their health, and stopped off to see their uncle and make him a little yisit during the holidays. They are substantial looking young men and, like thei: uncle, democrats through and through. Both boys reached their majority in time to cast their first vote tor Grover Cleveland. A fire at Foster Wednesday destroyed two business houses, property of Geo. Riffle and Filer Sackett. Mr. Sackett’s building was vacant, and joined Riffles’ cudied his with a restaurant stock, valued at from two to three hundred dollars which was a total loss. The fire originated in the restaurant and was supposed te have caught trom a box of ashes in the kitchen. In at- tempting to save his stock Mr. Riffle was seriously burned.

He has made his money by prudence, economy, and by taithtul attention to business, and we can say for him without the slightest hint at flatterv, that no man in this community stands higher in the estimation of the public for hon— estv, truthtulness, liberality or pub- lic spiritedness than Wm.

Max has been doing business in this town so long he has become a fixture and we don’t believe the people would let him leave if he wanted to. The whole world knows, and especially those that have been reading this paper, that he carrys a magnificent stock of boots and shoes, all sizes, grades and styles, and his prices are just a little under bed rock. When you cometo town and call and see Max don’t tell ; him you read this notice, but sur prise him by buying your family all a Christmas present of a pair of boots and shoes. GEO. W.

Walton, Friday last, which he had just received from his land agent, J. B. Ellis, in Kansas, notitying him ot a sale of eight sections of his land which he had just made. It will be remembered that Mr. Walton pur- chased about eighteen thousand acres of this land a short time ago from the railroad company, and the recent sale is a portion of the same. He informed us that the profits which he | would realize from the sale of the land would amount ia the neaghbor- hood of ten thousand dollars. T'ran- sactions of this kind in such a short e beat anything in the money making line we know of. It will beat either the newspaper or banking business. There seems to be no trouble in making money if a man kas some to work with, and} knows where to futit, when to put it, and when to let go. In this re-} spect Mr. Walton seems to be particularly fortunate, as it 1s not often a man picks up ten thousand dollars profit in so short a time on Jand. He also intormed us that a number of men who had bought in less quantity about the same time he did had solid out at large advance.
