The latest dodge, of course it interests
the farmers, is the effort of some swim
dlers to get ahead of the farmersby CON
tracing with them to sell a new and i'm
proved patent steaming apparatus for
IcOokisg food for stock The farmer
thinks he is signing contract to sell four
cooking apparatus in four years, but after
the agent is gone he discovers he has
signed a note for S300-and there is
where the trouble comes in. Don't sign
any papers presented by travelling men
and buy your implements from men
whoare responsible.
Now that farmers are beginning to

The streets and roads leading out of
our city will not compare flvOrably with
those of other localities. True some of
them are very well, but it is the fewest
number South main street is a lament
able example. Before the corporation
limits are reached, it is bad enough, but
before the fair grouud is gained, the road
becomes perfect network of holes, and
beyond as far as the hill, it reflects badly
upon those whose duty it is to keep the
road in order The fair isalmost at hand
and it will be entirely too bad to have
the road remain in that condition until
that time. Bestir yourselves and let the
repairs be made.

meant business. The old lady retreated
out of harms way just in time, but with
out any room to spare. She concluded
not TO repeat the experiment.
For some weeks past it has seemed to
us as though our subscribers didn't real
ize that it cost anything to run a news
paper; and that they thought we could
hire handspurchase papers, pay rents&c,
without any income. Ofcourse We knew
that our farmer friends were busy in
the harvest fields, gathering in their
wheat, oats, and hay, ami laying the
foundation for handsome incomes after
the hard work was over But now we
feel as though they should distribute a
little of their garnered wealth, and
among others make the printer happy.
We shall be pleased TO see you at any
time, and-the sooner the better. Our
in town are invited TO call |
