Gibson, of Americas, sent US an adVer-
tisement last week which was written
$50 boxes of paper collars for - cents p
having accidentally lett the cents blank.
Knowing the price of paper collars in
EmporIa, we concluded that Gibson meant
to strike hard-pan, and so we filled the
blank SO that the advertisement read
SO boxes Of collars for 80 cents" This
week Gibson sends the advertisement
again, and it reads SO boxes of paper col
lars for TEN cents" He entirely knocks
the bottom out of all our experience in
the price of collars.

We learn after pretty thorough inquiry,
that grasshoppers exist In many localities,
but their depredatIons are confined to
narrow strins. They have taken 8 good
many gardens In localities, and we have
heard OF one instance where they destroy
ed the corn In q twenty acre field. The
general answer to our inquiry through
out this section OF the State is that they
are doing no damage. But 1t will GER
tainly pay to prepare for them, and fight
them to the bitter end, and that, too, be-
fore they get too large.
