Churnine Done in One Minute.
T have tried the Liehtaina Churn, yon
recently described in your paper, and it
ia certainlv a wonder. I can churn in
less than one minute, and the batter ia
elegant, and yon get considerably more
butter than when you nee a common
churn. I took the agency for the chain
here and every batter maker that sees it
buys one. I have sold three dozen and
they give the best of satisfaction I know
I can sell 100 in this township, as they
churn so. quickly, make so much more
butter than common churns and are so
cheap. Some one in every township can
make two or three hundred dollars sen
inz these churns. By addressing J. F,
Caey & Co., St. Louis, Mo., you can get
circulars and full information so yon can
make bin money right at home. I have
made 80 in the past two weeks and
never sold anything before in my life.

THE COLORED VOTE.
lXlnley Assured of all in Holmes
County, Ohio.
Through coartesy of Dr. F. 8. Sharp.
the Pbxss reporter was permitted to
pernae the columns of tbe Holmes coun-
(Ohio) Farmer, yesterday. Among
many articles . of a political character
nich impressed the scribe that tbe
Major it not having things all his own
way even in Ohio, was tbe following :
lbs Holmes county Republicans called
npon Major McKinley today. The coun
ty is a democratic stronghold, and it
conld not otherwise than be expected that
the effort on the part of the republican
managers to make a showing should havs
neen tne lauure that it was. mere was
comparatively small handful of people
io line including the Hugar Creek band.
but nearly every republican in the coun
ty was preeent. the crowd was so small
that the Major adjusted his glasses long
oeiore be commenced reading bis speecn.
Dr. J. G. Bingham of Millerburg present
ed the delegation to the major, and when
they shook McKinley's hand, several of
tnem ventured tbe encouraging state
ment that he was sure ot receiving the
entire colored vote of Holmes county.
Tbe delegation arrived at 12 and left at
14. Canton Newt-Democrat, Sept.
25.
"Entire colored vote of Holmes coun
ty I" That's good. The "entire colored
vote" just at present consists of one black
rascal confined in jail for attempting
rape. McKinley may be able to pole tbe
full "colored vote" of tbe county, bat it
is doubtful, without he ehould be able to
devise some scheme to liberate tbe
colored vote" before election time.
Better put Mark Hanna onto the job,
Major. Farmer.

posite tbe Hamilton & Kourke ware-
hous, at the lower end of Main street.
The fellow, a stranger, bad a long ran
of it, and when crossing the bridge near
tbe mill, tell and bruised bis bands ano
forehead to such an extent that the blood
flowed freely when he reached the train.

The Irrepressible "Butch."
A Press reporter, while in Pendleton
Saturday, waa pleased to meet Co'. W. F.
Butcher, a former Athenaite. "Butch"
is prospering in tbe Queen City. He is
also till a democrat, and admonished
the Pekss not to overlook this fact, all
reports to tbe contrary notwithstanding.
Mr. Butcher reports much activity to
business circles at Baker Citv. and says
everybody seems to be employed at fair
ly good wages, ue attributes tne gooa
times op at Baker to tbe mining industry
of that county, and not to the present
gold standard, for "Butch" believes in a
little silver now and then.: like tbe rest
of nt "anarchists."
