pupils from one side to the other, if it is

New Agricultural Warehouse.-A

great necessity to farmers of this vicinity
is about to be supplied in the opening of an
Agricultural Warehouse, on North street,
with Mr.. P. c. Strickland as Agent, and
J. b. Ash, Salesman. A large frame build
ing has been erected by Mr.. Strickland for
the above purpose, and by reference to our
advertising columns it will be seen that the
new machine store is supplied with all the
best patent Agricultural Implements used
on the farm, together with the parts and
castings, ready to supply any machine with
4 new piece when worn out or disabled by
accident; an advantage which every farmer
can appreciate. We doubt not the new
establishment will do an extensive bust
ness. Elkton, we should think, ought to
be 4 firstrate location for such trade.
