THE INTRODUCTION OF
FILLEY'S STOVES

Into Northern Missouri, TO any extent, has been
in the last three years since which time they
have been gradually increasing the manufacture
and sale of them and although, owing to their
being light and smooth, and something new,
some little difficulty attended the sale and use
ut first, yet by always making Stoves and Cas-
tings Of the best quality of Scotch Pig and Mis-
souri, Mountain Iron, they have proved TO
Withstand fire better than any other Casting
made in the western country. The furnace
castings and hollow-waru particularly, have
been superseded by It, wherever ii las been
brought into use, and always given satisfaction.
Having lived hero>a number OF years, and be-
ing permanently located here, purchasers can
rely Oh our guarantee as TO the quality OF the
article sold by us and as 10 the operation Of
our celebrated prze-Premium Cook Stove, Just
read the certificates Of those who have used
them, and arc using them now. And another
advantage a purchaser will have in buying u

getting stove made Of the best material in tho
world but he Gun ut any time got on odd piece
or plate without any charge, by letting us know
that such Is wanted, as all our stoves uro war

will be promptly made good 10 the purchaser,
which he will not find the case with Cincinnati,

they wero warranted, II would be impossible to
get odd plates from such distance.

LOLA MONIES OF THE MoUNTAINs.-Our
late jaunt among the mountains was not
devoid of interest; incident and adyen-
ure abounded all along the route. To
say nothing of new roads, novel scenery
and strange regions, eccentric characters
presented themselves on every hand
brief mention, as our time for sketching,
was brief.
Alighting at one of those way-side inns
whose portals are ever welcome to the
weary traveller, we there found a person
age whose carriage and conversation at
once awakened curiosity and attention.
iousn.ul and comedy. educated and
MISS - could not fail to
enlist the interest and sympathy of those
among whom chance or fortune might
cast her lot. Nor was she slow to relate
her history and indicate her purposes.
She came from Kentucky, and was tar
rying in the mountains with the view of
perfectiug her title to some thousands of
acres of wild land, the possession of which
was in jeopardy. This broad domain had
descended TO her from patriotic ancestors,
to whom it was patented for revolutiona-
ry services. She had entrusted its man
asement to an agent. but when almost too
late, found this agent himself willy land
pirate, who coveted the object of his
trust.
To defeat his crafty design and to de-
fend her rights, were the motives that
brought her hither. Unprotected, friend
less and alone. she had quilted her far
off home and taken up this mountain
right at al! hazards and to the last ex
tremity. With this fixed purpose before
her, clearing was soon made, log ca
bin built, tenant located on the 9" dispu-
ted territory and, thus fortified, she
calmly awaited the enemy's approach
He very wisely concluded not to storm
the citadel, but laid siege thereto at law,
the result of which tactics had not trans
pired when we passed that way.
We have said her adversary acted dis
creetly-uery aciseiy choosing a siege in
stead of an assault. to gain possession of
the land-and so he did. Any other
course might have resulted in disaster to
him, If not to his pretensions; for not on
y did all the settlers round side with
the lady claimant, but she herself was
brave!y armed, always carrying one of
Colts Revolvers, whose leaden contents
were at the service of any reckless intru-
der who dared to trespass upon her
rights. Thus armed, she roamed fear
lesSly over the mountains and along the
streams, following paths seldom trod save
by the panther and the bear-dauntiess
as Lola Monies, but without Lola's ex-
cess of arrogance and assurance.-Par-
