cr expensive colors cost more. Every man,
for Il few dollars and little troubled on
his own part, can paint the interior of his
house every year and thereby keep the
housewife Ill a good humor.
Mr. Joseph Hunter, canny Scotchman
from Glasgow, who knows what is what,
and knows how to make it, has taken the
Bakery in this town and proposes to make
all of our good wives happy by furnishing
them with superior quality of bread
Mr.. Hunter is not only bcncfactor to
mankind, but to WOmankind, and we are
sure they Will pray for his welfare every
night-and his fresh bread every morning.
No more miserable yeast, that will only
rise in the jug, but won't rise in the
bread. No more bread that won't be
white, if it is worked until, not only the
the bread is bistercd and cracks, but the
poor wile's hand is blstered and her back
cracks too. No more stoves too cold this
morning and too hot tomorrow. All
Mr.. Hunter, you are an angel in disguise
and in the warm welcome we will give
YOU we will try and make you forget
THE land O cakes and bri'ther Scots
From Lt;l ,>cnd to John o Greats
And our prayer viii be, may YOU live long
and prosper.
