DO you understand the meaning OF
the word "clever fellow ?" There are
no less than about twenty different de-
finitiOns of the term, and to enumerate
the one half of them would take up toe
much time and space. But we can give
you a real live active, specimen OF what
is clever fellow. At your first leisure
please call on Mr.. J. w. Frey, at Coburn
and tell him to his face "1'hoM art the
man." Mr.. Frey 10 exactly the right
man in the precise right place. BY his
obliging ways he has already endeared
himself to the people of this neighbor-
hood. Hope he may long continue the
the agent at Coburn.
To our deaS' friends who have lots
of apples, pears, peaches or plums we
would kindly suggest several points, if
not exactly for their spiritual, then ut
least for their moral good. First they
should consider that poor printers are
just as fond of nice things, especiallyof
fruit, rs anybody, Then they should
have a tender regard for the fact that
they 1.-THE poor printers, of course) sell
dom if ever, have any lCcse tcechSel a
bout them; and lastly they (.e. the
other side of the house) should never
forget the divine admonition-''It is
more blessed to give than to receiye.n
If these points were duly needed, oh,
how happy we would be for season.
