TAX PAYING

For the year ends June 20, 1875.
All tax payers, therefore, In Stark
county who wish to avoid the pen
altv must pay prior to June Goth,
proximO. It should also be remem.
bered that all can not be aCOmmO-
dated on the same day-.that is,
provided all should put off paying
until the last day, It Is much more
pleasant to come in when we are
not crowded and hurried, and when
we can wait on you promptly and
satisfactorily. Let all our friends
having taxes to pay remember
this, and come and pay their taxes
at once, so as to accommodate
themselves and us. We wish to do
everything satisfactorily and do
hope our friends, one and all, will
call right soon. It is very disagree
able to have a rush the last day or
two, for 1t may be impossible to
wait upon our friends within a rea-
sonabIe time. Again we say, let
our tax paying friends bear all this
IN mind. soi y,

WLLthe farmers Of Stark county please
pardon our calling attention again to the
present manner of advertising front cut
reapers and mowers. Having been strip
ped of everything formerly claimed by
them in the way of supreme excellence
as harvesters, light draft, perfect work,
easy arrangement, durability, &C., by the
introduction of Rear Cut harvesters, there
is absolutely nothing left them but the
specious charge of danger in the use of
Rear Out machins, and the assiduity With
which they afflict sensible people with
this stuff, is equalled only bv the desper-
ate condition which suggests it.

WHY not stop the useless nonsense of
publishing letters represented as coming
from correspondents relating to the dam
ger of using Rear Cut Reapers and Now
ers. The farmers are not so easily i'm
posed upon--lhey see through the deceit
as clearly as we do. Paid advertisements,
represented as contributed correspondence,
does not serve the purpose of convincing
or honorable advertising. As said by a
prominent farmer of this county while
speaking on this subject, "a pig under
gate, will make more noise than pig not
under gate" The application can be
readily made by the farmers and others.

THE Peerless Self fRaking Reaper and
Moper is the only Rear Out machine
manufactured in Canton. Owing to the
fact of its being Rear Cut, and its conse-
quent superiority over any front cut ma
chine in this or any other locality, it is
rapidly taking the lead as the most per-
feet harvester ever offered the farmers of
Stark county. Four .fths of all the reap
ers anG mowers made in the world are

A NEWSPAPER chap of Canton, who should have
known better than to have ventured out alone
while wandering homeward through the woods
became convinced that he was lost and in attempt
ing to find his way out of the dense forest he swung
round the circle, and stopped just where he start
ed; after about an hour Of anxiety and tramping
he yelled brig ahoyr' at farmer in the distance
and was towed into straight channel, when he
found his way into town. 1t would seem that q
good and well posted guide ought to do lucrative
business in this vicinity.
