IMPORTANT TO RAILROAD PEO-
PLR
No More AceIdents-A Coupling that
can be Adjusted without Risk.

The following from the Railroad Spike
will interest railroad men and mechanics
generally:
George Edgar RolingpiD, a talented
young mechanic OF this city, has lust OBJ
tanned 8 patent for what has hitherto proved
a fruitless experiment, and which will be
greeted as a God-send by those interested.
HIS invention Is coupling for railroad cars.
This appliance is in brief as follows: The
description being too lengthy we emit It to
say that It is positively necessary that
Mitchell, the Clothier, "a Whiteker street,
should clear out his stock Of Winter Cloth
ing TO make room for his Spring supply, and
to this end he has virtually slaughtered
prices. H guarantees bis Clothing, and
his known reliability precludes any posi-
billty OF any one having cause for dissatis-
faction with anything bought from him.
Nobody can undersell him IL quality is con-
sidered. -Nao P6dtmk G'O5e.-AdU.
