Glover s. Thatcher have their clean
ing and grading machine ready for use
and are now ready to receive all the grain
brought TO them. The parties that have
been busy reporting that they were "bus-
ted" will soon see a remarkably lively
corpse arise from the defunct firm that
they have been telling Of, and, unless we
are greatly mistaken in our calculations,
the other buyers will have a lively CON-
petition il securing their proportion OF
grain. Competition is tar, but It is gen.
tlemanly to be honest about it. We know
that fair prices and square dealing will
not drive farmers to other markets while
the new firm Is in operation. Their more
wealthy competitors. that circulated sto-
ries in Milwaukee and other towns, re-
flecting on their credit, would do better
to give rs much attention to the welfare
Of the stations where they have ware
houses US OLIVER s Thatcher are to the
welfare of Brownsville.
