To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
No one can accuse the writer of being either
a braggart or betting character-my Quaker
in order to get up lively competition or
wholesome rivalry, l am willing to wager
either forty big red apples or u half dozen pew
ter spoons, warranted not to contain any alloy
of silver or gold, that l can discount any live
man getting subscribers for your paper, the
time allowed each contestant to be one year
from date of subscription. This offer will hold
good for ninety days, and any communications
upon the subject should be addressed to the
Editor of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE, whom, of
course, it will be proper to select as umpire in
the case.
When the elder berries have ripened, and
the Katydids begin to tell each other that
they didn't and the old fashioned spinning
wheels are heard again in the land-would to
heaven they were heard more frequently-the
