WORDS DE CHEER.

We trust we have not wearied the patience
Of any Of our friends in occupying portion
Of our reading space for few weeks back
with matter personal to the FARMER, it be.
ing the time when one volume closed and
new one commenced, as we'll as the season
OF the year when many we're engaged in
making up clubs. We do not intend, how.
ever, to occupy the columns Of the FARMER
with blowing" for itself, as the manner
OF some is" and therefore from many letters
OF commentator, some OF them intended
for publication, we make extracts from only
two, assuring the writers Of all that their
kind words are appreciated and tend to en-
couarge us to put forth stronger efforts to
make the FARMER the peoples paper.
The first comes from o. G.. McCrellis,
well'known as correspondent from Waits
River, but now holding the position of clerk
and paymaster of the Rockhill Iron and
Coal Co., Robertsdale, Pa. He says -

"R. j. H." who frequently has written
for the FARMER from Fletcher, says -
The VERMONT FARMER is now four years
old. That it is pure and heightened paper
all intelligent readers will admit. Its clear
black print, its freedom from typographical
errors, denote that only neat and careful
workmen are employed in its office. BY this
carefuness it is made one of the best and
purest papers in the state. said purest.
For proof read the following taken from a
copy printed few months ago. Here our
correspondent inserted our mention of re-
fusing liquor advertisement from Maxwell
& Son. An editor and publisher who have
backbone enough to refuse so tempting an
offer, and ut tho Same time quietly admins
