Geo. s. Ruble, of Albert Lea, Mimi,
called on US last week when passing down
south to his recently established business.
home at Chattanooga, Tennessee. George
looks as hale and hearty as an ex-army
Captain should do, and Aattcrs himself
that his Chattanooga Agricultural Implc-
mont Depot will Be splendid success.
We most sincerely hope his hopes will be
realized. ..Peavy & Conant, of the Cam
brian Saloon and Arcade Restaurant, will
give an II. B. Malone fine Cutter to the
man who eau "rafle" dice the highest, at
their rooms on Saturday night next
There will be free supper at the ARCADE
after the Cutter is captured, and an al
mighty heap Of Gun during. the evening.
All good-natured men are invited to come
in-cross fellows and boys are requested
to stay at home. See Peavy h Conants
Adv. in this issue. The week Of prayer
we forgot to notice. 1t was universal in
protestant churches, but We observe no
change in the attendants. Another Christ
will come pretty soon to break up the
pharisaical formality which is encrusting
professors Of religion. May God forgive
US if we are wrong, but we do not believe
there is one prayer in thousand that
nowadays will reach higher than the stee-
pie of the church in which it is made.

Bailey, of Wagner, offers his farm for
sale: his land is as good as is made on
earth; the location is superior one; the
price is very low, and the man who buys
it will have home for life. Mr.. b. has
farmed lsng time and is tired OF close
application to labor: he will act as Agent
for II. B. Malone & Co.'s Agricultural I'm
plements, for the year 1867. Being a
practical farmer, his word about Agri-
cultural machinery can safely be relied on.
