into our ofllce aud frantlcally lmplored

beselged BY hosts and myriads Of ap.
plicants for loans In no time at all after
the paper came out. The people came
by sail, steamboat, hand.cars, ox-wRg-

crowd of applicants was 30 great that
while the multitude passed In at the
door in perfect streams, Others cFawled
through the windows, came down the
chimney, or dug their way through
the floor, to get at the man that had
money to loan! He says after the Sec

and col!sct his halfcrazed thoughts
into some shape, and now his only

no benefit In advertising ! People don't

OnsThursday Of last week we step
ped into MAfshall's livery stable and
took look at some fine specimens Of the
Jersey breed Of cattle, which had just
been brought dSwn from Ashland, by
w. c. Myer, the fine stock importer.
There were three Of them--two year
ling bulls and a two.year-old heller,
sach one being ''Iust as pretty as . Pic
ture," and showlng the true signs Of
the genulneness Of the Jersey blood.
One pair was sold to Mr.. Clymer, who
lives near Lebnon, for $500, and the
other, yearllng bull, was bought BY
II. Clay Powell, for SlO0. We are
glad to SEQ our farmers wakening up on
this idea Of Improving their stock; 1t
doesn't cost near much to keep a
thoroughbred as II does a common
'scrub,n and the better prices which
can be had for finer quality Of butter
will soon pay the difference between
the value Of the two kinds Of stock.
Mr.. Myer has fine herd Of fine hloed
Jerseys, and sells them very cheap.
