Ths Farmers Bank.

The farmers bank is the best bank in
the world. Its deposits are always safe.
There is no danger Of its breaking. II
has no defaulters-no rascally officers to
run away with its proceeds. 1t can be
drawn upon safely, and at all times, and
every draft made upon it will make re-
turn of more than ten per cent. dividend
Such bank is the farmers best friend
IL win prevent the farm from running
down. II will increase bis crops. II will
make farming profitable. Good farming
can't be carried on without il. The far
mer who tries to get along without this
bank viii fail. His lands win wear out.
His crops will grow less Weeds and
brambles viii take possession of bis fields.
His farm will be for sale, and the purcha.
ser, if he ever makes anything on II, or
out of il, will have TO rely upon the bank
Of which we have been speaking. Does
the reader knsw what bank We allude to?
1t is the Manure bank--the farmers best
friend, the nation's best friend; for every
nation that has not cherished this bank
has gone into decay. Then, make this
bank Save all the manure, all the trash
and rubbish, leaves, weeds, litter aud all.
Pile them up, let them fernent, work over
occasionally let all the weed seeds be
destroyed, and draw upon ii and away
from it, and apply the drafts to the soil,
aud they win give you improved crops that
win make the heart and pockets glad.
Good farming can't be carried on long
without this bank. .---Rwai World

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-08-05

There was quite a scene at the Rock Island de
pot the olher night. As the accommodation train
came in, the conductor jumped off and told
Rordan "robbed," thief" "this way" &c. Fl
nally man was seen running toward Kennedy;
saloon, then some one shot at him, and the con
ductor said "he's the man" Riordan cried "stoI
that man." and he was stopped. The train was
then gone and the mystery thickened. With the
morning came the explanation. The conductor
had taken the mans hat for his fare to Ottawa
from Marseillcs and the man in return had at
tempted to take the conductors cap on leaving
the train That was all Nothing being entered
against him, he was discharged.
