pay commissions to middle men, when you
can patronIze home manufact ures for less
money, and get a better class of goods: This
Is an important question. j21

tive of Barton county and showing up the

of their labor, and there is scarcely q day
but newcomers are arriving at Lamar and
investing their money In farming lands.
DR.. Meng received, yesterday morning,
| the finest dental chair we have ever seen.
The frame is all iron, and the movable parts
are silver mounted and highly polished. The
chair Is one of many joints, and in 1t the pa
tient can be placed In any desired position,
making 1t more convenient for the operator,
and consequently better for the patient. The
| CuIIk "elSuS louA III PounoSS is {
subst antiaI and handsome In all Its parts and
will doubtless somewhat detract from the
pain of having teeth pulled or plugged.

A tramp, a white man about % years Of
age, last Tuesday evening at 81 O'Clock
found himself walking upon and down th,
railroad track near the residence OF MI
Linn b. Gordon. Seeing no one about thu
premises he leaped over the fence, entered
the smokehouse and marched off with a han
, Of bacon. As he was leaving the place
however, an old colorsd woman saw him ant
ran to the field for her husband, old Uncl
Jim Taylor, who though nearly sevent,
: years Of age started for the house, got hi
shot gun and overlook MIR. Tramp on tn
railroad, and demanded the property of hi
employer. The light fingered indlvidua
started toward his colored antagonist witt
3 the intent to do him bodily harm, and witt
wicked English on his tongue, but th
ancient colored gentleman enphaticalIy sail
:, to him, ''stop right whar you Is, chile, or =
t full you full o. shot," and he stopped. Tn
old man added, "Drap dat ham," and b
E %"drappsd" it. The tramp then began t
beg pleaded hunger in e~xtenuatlon of hi
E act, and said that lie only Intended to cut OF
a slice OF the ham and cook 1t and leave tn
e balance, SO the tender hearted old darkey IL
: him go. II ID bad enough for this kind Q

an idle thief, ut the end of q loaded gun !
e the hands of an honest negro, 70 years oil
but still tndustriously earning his living
must have a fine opinion OF himself.
