Honest and Liberal.

When the Hops in each bottle of
Hop Bitters Cat the present price,
sl.25 per pound), cost more than a
bottle is sold for. besides the other
costly medicines, and the quality
and price are kept the same, we
think it is honest and liberal in the
proprietors, and no one should com
plain, or buy or use worthless stuff,
or cheating bogus limitations because
the price is less.

Farmers Holding Back Grain.

1t will be news to many readers
that western farmers are holding the
greater portion of their grain for
higher prices. Generally the farm
er has been compelled to sell his
grain at whatever price he could gel
for it, and if anyone held it for "a rise
it would be the speculator at Chica-
90, Milwaukee or elsewhere. But
the farmer, in spite of what people
say about him, is a progressive III
dividual he reads the papers and
he saves money, SO when there Is a
possibility of gaining much by wait
ing a little while, as some observers
of European affairs say there is now,
the farmer quietly astonIshes the
public aud disgusts the spectators
by organizing a corner on his own
grain. 1t is good for him and for
every oEe else that the farmer Is
forehanded enough to. be able 70
hold back his wheat and corn for
higher prices. If any money is to
be made on the products Of his In
dustry the people would rather see
ii made by the farmer himself than
By the spectators, who use wheat
and everything else as an excuse for
gambling.

Playing 1t on the Farmers.

This section is just now infested with
a nest of sharpers, who are playing upon
credulous people, and lining their pock-
cts with ducats at their expense. The
boldest and most extensive operator is
fellow who claims to be agent for
sewing machine company. His plan Is
to leave six machines with an unsus-
pecting farmer, agreeing with him in
writing that if he sells five of them at
fifty dollars each he is to have the sixth
for his trouble; that if the machines are
not sold at the end of six months, the
agent is to take them back, and make
no charge for the use of one by the
farmer. As before stated, this contract
is signed by the farmer, and has the APP
pearance Of fairness on its face; but it
is delusion and snare to him who
putteth his name to it, as large numbers
have found out to their sorrow. The
piece of paper is one of those little jok-
ers which can be turned by simply tear
ing it in two, into note for $3.50,
which the alleged general agent
takes at once to an innocent party, who
discounts it, and then there is nothing
left for the signer to do but to pay it
when it becomes due. One of these
swindlers has been operating in Hazel
Green Township and in other parts OF
Southern Wisconsin, and has caught
scores of farmers by his little game. A
similar dodge has been played in one or
two towns in this county, and this item is
written for the purpose ofputting people
on their guard. - Galeno (IU.) Gazette.

GOOD NEWS FROM TEXAS.

Mr.. THOMAS A. HOWARD, of Honey Grove, Fannin

follows:
II have been suffering during several years from
severe illness. and general breaking down of my
physical system and have tried the treatment and pre-
scrptions many doctors far and near and Travelled
to the Hot Springs and other mineral springs famous
for their remedial qualities drinking the waters ana
bathing Systematically in their healing depths but all
to no avail, as steadily failed in health; and although
informed by my physicians that my ailments and weak
nesscs were the result of kidney disease Of dangerous
character they could give me nothing to cure me.
During the past years my suferngs at times were
dreadful and had the most ndescrbabe pains In the
regions about the Kidneys the paroxysms OF which
were SO severe render it impossible for me to
sleep While In this deporable and discouraged con-
dition persuaded to try Hunts Remedy, and att

Especial Marks Of Trunk smashers.

stWhere's that trunk been?' said a
reporter yeste1 day, pointing to dis

think it is, whom we always know by
the way he leaves his handles always
tears 'em out on the same end OF one

back it's pretty sure to have been along
the Connecticut coast. The Stonington
transfer splits trunks like buzz-saw,
but when you get az trunk stove in at
both ends, with the hinges off and the,

it's been into Canada. There's where
