A GOOD PLAN

Anybody can learn to make money rapidly
operating in Stocks, by the Two Unerring
Rules for Success" in Messrs. Lawrence g.
Co.'snew circular. The combination meth
cd, which this firm has made so successful,
enables people with large or small means
to reap all tile benefits of largest capital
and best skill. Thousands of orders, in
various sums, are pooled into one vast
amount and coOperated as mighty whole
thus securing to each shareholder all the
advantages of the largest operator. I'm
mense profits are divided monthly. Any
amount from five collars to five thousand
or more can be used successfully. N. Y.
Baptist Weekly, September 26, 1878 says
" BY the combination system fifteen dol
lars would make seventy-five OF five per
cent; fifty dollars pays three hundred and
fifty or seven per cent; one hundred dol
lars makes one thousand or ten per cent
on the stock during the month, according
to the market" Frank Leslie's illustrated
Newspaper June Goth says: The combina-
ton method of operating stocks is the
most successful ever adopted. New York
Independent September 18th says: The
combination system is founded upon cor

working by Messrs. Lawrence e. Co,

do me the kindness to inform me
through THE FLoRT DA AGRICUL-
TURIsT, if it is, and where the seed
can be obtained, q cannot get them

Mrs. G. M.
Gainesville, Flu, Augatst IL.
-A7asacer.-We send you a paper
with an article on the Bene or Wan
ala, which is a valuable.plant to have
about the place, and great enriched
OF the soil on which it grows. The
leaves of the plant are valuable in
constipations, and the seeds make de-
licious cakes and confectionery; the
oil being easily extracted makes a
valuable salad oil, equal to the best
olive oil. The plant requires little
culture, where it is not choked by
grass, and if once planted about a
place will grow spontaneously every
year from the seeds that fall. Some
was grown about Kingsley's Lake
and Starke, but if you cannot procure
it there drop us card OF remem-
brance, in the fall, and we will sup
ply you with small quantity from
our own growing.-[ED.
