ing man Of ono of the wcalthiest firms in

lone. We were "skeert'' when the three
came in and proposed to sell out to JouS,
but the young man of the concern declined
to purchase while SO many Agricultural
Implements were in the Office and hence
we are "stuck" for 1901. Harry Good
rich Of the firm of Taylor 4 Wright, is still
at Sleepier's Hotel in this city, but if he
tells that Perkins story three or four times
more, he'll leave town or 90 to tho Gala
