We are informed by Geo. II. Carr
that he will be able in the spring to fur
nish all the flax needed in this SECTION
for sowing III the spring. He will fur
nish flax for sowing purposes to respon-
sible parties for $3.50 per bushel, and
contract to pay 50 cents per bushel in
the fall, for all flax 80 contracted.
This will be a good chance for Il great
many of our farmers, that have not
seed to sow in the spring. Flax has
been 4 paying crop here this year, bet
ter than amy other raised, and we hope
farmers will consult their own interests
by sowing more tlax the coming season.

Brick Store auction regularly and i'll
quired when that silk dress pattern
