not have embraced all Of these re.
quirements, and amendments may
have been desirable, but It certainly
is much better system than that oi

correct principle that all portions oil

FRAUD--FARMERS BEwARE.--A
set of unprincipled vagabonds are
canvassing the country continually,
seeking "whom they may devour,"
with machines of different kinds,
patent rights, and 1901 other
schemes, all calculated to swindle
our hard working, unsuspecting
farmers. Last spring couple OF
these sharks travelled through Grun.
dy county, and calling on Joseph
Huse, one of the best fellows ever
buckled, made him an agent, to sell
a certain seeder, and drill. He was
to take five Of them, sell four for the
Company, and his commission on
the sale Of the four, was to pay, ia
full, for the fifth one, which he was
to have for his own use. Mr.. Huse
was induced to sign contract tc
this effect, but which proved to he o
note of hand, for the amount the
seeders retsiled at. He suspected
something wrong after the shy locks
were gone, and followed them into
Hardin county, where they had dis.
posed of the note, and now he has
the satisfaction of knowing he has
no redress. Farmers, give all sucl,
moDey-making schemes. the go by.
Kick all such Infamous wretches out
of your yards, and then you wont get
sold.

CUT LoosE.-A halter strap was

that the horse belonged to q sober

the supposition is that some philan.
thropist found the horse hitched In
the cold, while the owner was in q

concluded to let the poor creature 60

united him, and put the strap around
his neck, instead of cutting Ii. IL is
