Look Out for the SWindlers.

Within the last week two German Jews
have been travelling through the rural
districts of our county and swindling hon
est and unsuspecting farmers by selling
them galvanized watches and mock Jew
elry for genuine gold. We have heard
of one instance in which they exhibited a
watch to farmer, representing it to be
worth $50, but Offering to take $50 for
it, as they were little short peouDiarly
and wished to get rid Of their stock. The
farmer, believing the story. aud tickled
with the idea of getting "real gold
watch so cheap, purchased the article
and paid over the money. Having occa-
zion to visit town the next day be called
at jewelry store to have a chain attached
cd to his watch, and naturally asked the
jeweler how much be tboug ht it was worth
When the latter replied "about three dol
lars" our rural friend opened bis eyes
wido to the fact that be bad been regular
y "sold.' These dealers in bogus jew
elry are no doust still '.bobbiDg around
seeking whom they may victimize, and
we advise farmers to give them the colo
shoulder. 1t is almost inv ariably the ca
that persons who patronise stroiling ped
lars are swindled. Better deal with reg
