THE old recruiting Office has been removed
from Market Square, and also the old stump
of the hickory pole. The telegraph pole is to
be removed to the edge of the sidewalk be-
hind the weigh masters house. and the
square kept entirely clear of all distractions,
and used as market place for the farmers
from the country.
A small, cheap building is being erected
on the vacant lot belonging to Charles Buford,
in Market Square, adjoining Koch's gun
shop, for city marshaPs and police Office
Heretofore room has been occupied for that
purpose in some out-of-the way upper story.
The new Office will not only be a convenience
to the public, but also to the marshal and
policemen. 1t is just what is needed, and
the location is a very good one.

CAUTION FROM THE AMERICAN WATCH Co.
| 1t having come to our knowledge that imita
tions of the American Watch have been pu
upon the market in great number, calculated
by their utter worthlessness to injure the rep
utation of our genuine products, to protec
our own interests and the public from impo
sition, we again publish the trade marks by
which our Watches may invariably b,
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The first has the name
AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham
Mass" engraved on the Inside plate.
The second has the name
"APPLETON, TRACY & Co., Waltharn
Mass" engraved on the inside plate
The third has the name
''P. S. BARTLETT, Wsltham, Mass )" en-.
graved on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
lean Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are
warranted in every respect.
The fourth has the name
VIM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
dial.
All the above described watches are made
of various sizes, and are sold in gold or sll.
yer cases, as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for US to accurately
we have alluded. They are usually describ-
ed with names SO nearly approaching our
own as to escape che observation of the un
accustomed buyer. Some are represented as
made by the Union Watch Co., of Boston,
Mass. mo such company existing. Some
are named as the Soldiers Watch" to be
sold as our fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usu-
ally known as the Soldiers Watch" 9th
ers are named the Appleton Watch Co. :"
others the ''P. s. Bartley." instead of our
"P. S. Bartlett :" besides many varieties
:''-,'.', - su"h manner as to convey the
Il. t..a 81 are the veritable productions
oi SIC Auerican Watch Company
We also caution the public, and particular
iy soldiers, against buying certain articles
CALLED watches, so freely advertised in illus
srated papers as Army Watches, "Oficers'
Watches" "Magic Time Observers" ''Arca.
ma Watches" &C., the prices of which are
stated to be from seven to sixteen dollars
A good watch, in these times, cannot be az
forded for any such money.
A little attention on the part of BUYERS
will protect them from gross imposition.
