subscriber who doesn't care to read more
than one number of the same issue, he or
dered one copy stopped. The same thing
happened some time ago, and in reply to u
somewhat profanc, butgood naturcd request
TO hold off half of the supply, Mr. Nally
addressed the subscriber the following
humorous letter;-"My Dear Mr.. IL. "
Yours of the 18th at hand.
The necessity for sending you two copies
ofTHE BULLETIN is very forciby illustra-
ted by the contents Of your letter. THE
BULLETIN is, above and beyond all things,
great religious and moral teacher One
Of its peculiar missions is to point out, par
tcularly to aged and hardened sinners, the
rue and straight path which makes life
plerable here below and glorious in the
realms beyond the grave. For an ordinary
sinner the prescribed dose is one copy of
he paper; but for those who see the wick
.dness of their evil courses, and perversely
and stubbornly refuse to repent, We always
louble the dose, with instructions always,
to be well shaken before taken Where
fore your request will pass unhccded. The
extra copy will not be stopped .
The same subscriber, referring to the capac
ity of Cairo candidate for a responsible
official position, observes that "Mr. -
is qualified like HI for the Office to which
he aspires," Mr. Nally answered; you
say Mr.. - is qualified like h. ! for the
office for which he has aspirations. Being
entirely ignorant of the nature or force Of
your comparison, The BULLETIN torbears
expressing an opinion on it. The people of
Cairo however, elected him to that position
by very decided majority, showing, as
you will no doubt say, what d. fool the
decided majority of Cairo is, Tor differing

Two Thousand persons will readi-

fcring a prize of 81 900, though only
one can get it, and 1899 must lose
his dollar A publisher puts $4,000
into collecting and preparing useful
information, and offers to every one
of 1000 persons who contributes on
ly dollar or so, printed duplicate
OF the resulte, so that each one may
have the entire benefit Of what has ac-
tually cost $4,000 or more. Is not
this better than any uncertain chance

applies to all good books.
Here is good special illustration.
The Publishers Of the american Ag-

engravings in each volume, which
bring right to the eye and understand
ing multitude of labor-saying and
labor helping contrivances, and i'm
plements, for outdoor and indoor
work-very many of them home-pro-
duced. This great number of useful,
instructive, and pleasing engravings,
is a most valuable feature Of the
american Agricultvist, making it
greatly superior to any other source
of similar information. This Journal
constantly publishes caustic expos

which save its readers many times

to single subscribers is only $3.50 a

staid old Morgantown is cursed with
class of beings who do the work of
old Nick with might and main. These
creatures arches and she's-and
they gorge themselves with the filth
that flows from the nasty, sinking,
rottenness of each others mouths,
when they meet to handy bawdy and
ATTEMPT to blacken the character of
some virtuous girl, or defame some re-
spectacle man. The better class of
Morgantown's citizens should kick
these skunks from their presence, in
fact, should Danish them from their
houses, avoid them as they would a
reeking polecat, ostracize them from
the community. The daily food of
these hyenas is falsehood and filth, the
more Shiny and nauseous, the more
nutritious to them. Let such feel
that you loathe them, that you scorn
to hear the devilish ichor that flows
from their tongues. They are the
devils own creatures and not fit to
associate with virtuous people and
christians. Sooner would we welcome
to our humble home a scorpion than
one Of these babbling, lying, scandal
serving scavingers of Hades.

ELEVEN GOOD REASONS
WHY
Tho, WHITE Sewing Eaachino Is the

1st--It is the lightest running Shut

2nd-It has more capacity and pow
err than any other family Sewing Ma
chine.
3rd-It is not complicated with
cog gears nor large cams.
4th--It is the simplest and best
constructed machine.
5th-Its working parts are case
hardened iron or steel, and 80 arrang-
ed that any wear can be taken up
simply by the turn Of a ocrew.
6th-It has steel feed on both
sides of the needle.
7th--Its shuttle 10 comparatively
self-threading, made of solid steel,
and carries a larger bobbin than al
most any other family sewing ma
chine.
SHIFTS works are all enca sed and
free from dust, and so arranged that
neither the garment being sewed, nor
the operator, will become oiled.
9th---It has q device by which bob
bins can be filed without running the
ENTIRE machine, thereby relieving it
from wear for this purpose, as also re-
lieving the operator of the necessity
of removing the work or attachments,
as is the case in nearly all other ms
chimes.
10th--It has self setting needle.
11th-It is elegantly ornamcnted
and finished, and its cabinet work is
unsurpassed.
The result Of this combination is
