A New BROOK SWEEPS CLEAN.-Our
townsman Mr.. G. S. Hopkins has placed
on our table new broom the patent Of
which he has secured for this county.
We think it will give universal salts,
faction, and take the place of all other
inventions in the broom line. 1t is al
most as light as the shaker broom, its
adjustments are so simple that a child 10
Years old can readily fill it, and for use,
durability and real service it has no
equal. AS to the economy of this broom
we leave the public to decide. We only
inform them (in the words of Mr. Hop
kins) that he furnishes the purchaser
with corn sufficient for 7 or 8 new
brooms for the small sum of 50, making
the expense less than 25cts per broom
We are pleased with this article
