The El Heno Feed Mills, on west
Woodson street, are now in running
>rder and doing excellent work.
The proprietors are men ot energy
and means, and have already built
up a large trade. T hey make a
specialty of fresh meal, and grind
corn and all sorts of chop teed.
They do a large custom business
and farmers can take a load of grain
to them and have it grourd in a few
minutes, or exchange it for meal or
feed, of vrkich they have a large
stock on hand. They solicit the
patronage of the public and they are
justly entitled to it. They also pay
the highest market price for grain ot
all kinds.
The republicans through a corrupt
count expect to count in on county
commissioner from tho tirst district
and count Mr. Thelen out, as they
did Mr. Rider out of the office of He
gister ot Deeds. To prevent acci-
dents and keep the county from cost-
ly litigation, we ask the democrats
of that district to vote for the Alli-
ance candidate for commissioner.
While we are certain-that no vacan-
cy can exist there, yet we don't want
to give the republican schemers
a chance to pile up a debt upon this
county through litigation.—Courier.
80 far, so good, Mr. Courier, but
why not carry the joke a little far-
ther and advise your readers to vote
for T. J. Hitchey, the alliance man,
and save the democratic party from
the odum of voting for a man who
owns a saloon and runs a gambling
den in the rear? Why not advise them
to vote for Smedley, the alliance
candidate tor county attorney, who
is a reliable and competent attorney,
a sober and an honest man, instead
of recommending to your readers the
pet of the saloons and gambling dens
with his unsavory record here and
abroad? Why not go a step farther
and recommend some good man for
sheriff, about whose nomination 110
disgraceful charge of fraud and cor-
ruption attaches? The public will
think more of you in the end, and
democray will take a step forward in
the estimation of the whole people.
Jacob Scliweicer returned, jester

Cleveland will be re elected, and has
deposited 1500 in the bank here,

his favorite.
The attention of the people of El
Reno und vicinity is called to the
fact that C. M. Iiuckles has one I!
the neatest, cleanest stocks of gro-
ceries in the city, and is selling at
prioes which have built up for him
an immense trade. He carries ev-
erything in the line of groceries and
provisions and receives new goods
daily. He also pays the highest
price for country produce, and es-
oecially desires to buy all the eggs
to town.

The best and cleanest circus that
ever exhibited in YVorthington is the
verdict of our people after having
patronized Walter L. Main's circus,
which was here last Saturday. There
was an utter absence of the "loud"
performance in the circus features,
which was refreshing. Every act was
good, and many of them entirely new
to ourpeoplo. The usual nuisances,
the candy and lemonade butchers,
were conspicuous by their absence.
And for the first tiine in this city
there was an entire absence of fakes
and gamblers, not a single man of that
profession showing himself during the
entire day. The Times voices the
sentiments of the community in say-
ing that Mr. Main gave the neatest,
cleanest, most enjoyable circus ever
seen in Worthmgton. He shows at
El Reno, on Thursday, Nov. 3.

Walter I.. Main's big railroad show
exhibited in Streator yesterday and
there was a good attendance at both
performances. The program was a
