Having learned that representations have
been made that our Extra Fine Bone Dust
is obtained by sitting it out of the other
bone, thus depriving our ordinary grade OF
it's proper proportion of fine, we desire to
state that this is an entire misconception OF
the facts.
The Extra Fine is prepared by simply
retaining it in the mill longer time
When we are manufactor ing the ordinary
grade we make nothing else, and the same
is the case when making the Extra Fine
The two are exactly alike in all respects
except that the Extra Fine is ground up
that much more.
We take pleasure in inviting a compari-
son of this grade with any unsteamcd bone
in this or any other market.

JOHN A. ARMOUR, one of the editorial
staff of the Commercial and Tribune news
papers of Wilmington, Del, died on We'd
nesday, August 9th, 1873, at precisely IL
o'clock, NJ, of consumption.
He was born in the 9th Election District
of Cecil county, Md, where he has large
circle of relatives and friends, and got the
most of his school education at the Frank
lin school house. At the age of IS he
moved with his parents to Milford, Del,
where he first went into printing Office,
and from there to Wilmington, where he
served for while on city weekly. At
the young age of II lie enlisted in the army
and was severely wounded at the battle of
Cold Harbor. After being discharged from
the army he served as conductor on the
street car line, in Wilmington, with per-
feet satisfaction to the company until they
did away with conductors. Then he
went into the printing Office once more;
and when the first daily paper, the CON-
merciaz, was started in Wilmington he
helped set the first type for it and continu-
ed with the same affair until his death,
except for a short time when compelled by
bad health to suspend labor. He gradually
became in favor with the proprietors of
the paper till he became one of the local
editors, which position he filled with Sue
cess, excelled by mono.
The Commercial will lose an able aid
He was punctual," correct" and con-
densed his locals to small space and yet
give full information. His health has been
for four years so bad that he has not, in
reality, been able to do his duty, but he
was so ambitious. and active, in life, he
kept at his post when he should have been
in bed. But his whole soul and study was
in the success of the Commercial, but at last
had to give up to the sad destroyer-death!
He leaves large host of friends to mourn
his loss. More could be said of him-but
enough. A FRIEND.
