 Deceived and forsaken by John I. Weldon, of Smith County, Texas.
 Last January, the above-named gentleman,(?) while running a pic ture gallery in our quiet little town, made my acquaintance, and after many earnest solicitations, induced ne to become his wife. Af.er which we removed to Evansville, and from there to Prairie Grove. At each place he followed his profession with success. But pretending to become wearied with the profession, he there sold out, and brought me back to my mothers, and left me pretending to return, and give the parties to whom he sold some instructions, and to soon return to me at Cedarville. But alas! he never came. He was next heard of at Lead Hill. in this State, still claiming to be widower, from Smith county. Texas, the same story which he told here. And while in the act of getting married there, 1 wrote letter to that place. and enclosed his photograph. Times being too hot for him there he skip ped again. Turning mp next at Rus sellville. in Pope county, he tod tue same story and while in the act of deceiving another innocent girl, was exposed by one of our preachers who was attending the annual conference at that place. and he, of course, de parted from there, Tn few moments, 1 for parts unknown. there to carry on his operations of deception. The said John T. Weldon is 2S years old, feet inches high, heavy built, dark, curly hair, large light blue eyes, an artist by profession. and a scourdrel by practice. As he has ruined forever the prospects of my future happiness, I hope this will be the means of saving some other poor girl from suffering what l have al ready suffered. I hope you will publish this in your paper, and ask other editors to copy the same, and obllge yours, &c.,

We are thoroughly in earnest in the desire to get all our people to do more reading and thinking for themselves. It is the only way in which the masses can protect themselves from imposi- tions. from deceptions and from hum- bugs! It is the only way in which they can retain and secure their liber- ties ito read and think for themselves. But what, says one, would you have us read? We would have you read FIRST, YOUR OWN HONE PAPER. It Is your home paper that feels for your interests, and that furnishes you such informa- tion as most intimately effects your in- terests. But, says our ordinary fault finder, you don't give us reading matter enough. Don't we? We'll, we give you far more than you can get ou. of any book which costs YOU the same sum of money. We give you far more than we could possibly give you if all men supported the press just as yon do. But we are not going to find fault, for
 we have had very good support in
 dear old Pope county. We are now going to make you an offer to meet this objection of not enough reading. It is this:

 The Review is a hanesomely printed. l6-page folio, and has all the depart
 ments which any first class agricultural
 journal ought to have, all edited ably and industriously. The article extract ed from it and reproduced in to-day's

 reviews.
 Re member this offer is for only 60 days, and you should send your names at once for this offer.
