Sc estuerza, pues, en- vano, y

Perro que ladra no muerde, di-

cuantas toneladas de desprecio.

Very Best Lime

for Agricultural and Building purposes.
During the busy Lime season of the
Spring it has heretofore been difficult for
Farmers to secure the Lime as they de-
sired it. We feel sure that our extern
sive works will remedy this, provided
the Farmers ,oiH send us in their orders
during the mert thirty days, SO that we
can put them on file, to be filed as they
may wish. This we guarantee to do,
viz: To Gil all orders on notice OF As
hours, if the engagements are made with
us noD by the Farmers, as suggested.
Whilst the freight from Martinsburg
will be slightly more than from Fred
erick county, this excess will be deduct
ed from Lime Bills. making the net,eost
Of Lime the same as from Frederick
county.
Soliciting liberal share of your pat
ronage, and guaranteeing satisfaction in
quality, and in every other particular,
we are, very respectfully.

action looking to the relief of their fellow
countrymenl whose wall of suffering comes
across the Atlantic to many sympathizing
hear IS in this country, and the acton taken
by the society is worthy of commentator
and we are glad to note that while good
work is being done elsewhere. the Rhine
sufferers are not wholly forgotten in this
city. At the meeting yesterday there was
q large attendance, denoting interest in the
work. The society first voted an appro-
priation of $50 from the treasury, and
they selected the following committees for
each ward and South Moline which shall
commence work immediately in their re
pective wards:
First ward-H. Sellmer, p Keeling.
Second ward-John Mueller, j. Bausch
Third ward Frank Schrader S. Hirsch.
Fourth ward--Theo. Stenger, G.. VltZ-

Fifth ward-William bricks, George

South Moline-Fred Werlich, F. Volk-
mann.
These committees shall report contribu-
tons to Conrad F. FrantZ who will take
the same. giving receipt therefor. and
all collections will be sent by him direct to
the sufferers, and he desires the ARGUS to
say that "this is not intended as society
enterprise" but that the citizens of Moline
in general are asked to contribute and the
''credit shall be theirs" only they felt that
some action should be taken, and at once,
and with this in view. had organized into
