LOOK Our For FRAUDs-FARMERs
SHOULD Now LOAD UP Their SHOT
GUNs.-An exchange contains the
following admonitions: This is the
season for the farmer to load up the
shotgun and unite the bull dog.
There are plenty of frauds, humbugs
and swindlers on their rounds. They
generally choose the farming commu
nifty, and go at them with patent
stump pullers that will extract any
thing from the tooth Of a comb TO the
roots Of a giant oak = patent wagon
jack that can be used to grease any
thing, but more particularly the
pockets of the vendors; a lightning
rod that will draw electricity 449
yards and conduct it into the bowels
of a stone quarry, and shake the
rocks up to the surface all dressed
and squared ready for use; patent
sulky; good to attach to plows or haul
saw-logs, with draft so light that
the team will have a hard time to
keep out of the way; insurance com
panies with fabulous capitals and eX
traordnary inducements. These are
few of the long list of humbugs
that farmers are solicited to patron
ize. No money down is asked, only
your note, which grows so distress
ingly fast that you fail to recognize
it. Let all Of the travelling frauds
alone and patronize your home mer-
chants. In particular keep lookout
for the seed man. Like the tree man,
the shrubbery and vine man, the seed
man is loquacious. He can talk as
sweet as a bird can sing. There is
musical cadence in his voice and n
CLEAN of tenderness in his eye, which
to the unwary is calculated to lure
and deceive. Unite your dog when
you see such man at your gate, and
clasp your pocket book with a grip
strong and firm. Don't buy seed of
any kind from a stranger. Don't be
deceived by the MARBLE of his soft
persuasive voice There is as much
fraud under his tongue as there is
poison in the fangs of viper. Give
the unknown seed man a wide pas
sage on the highway. Don't shoot
him, but step by him when you meet
him in your lane, and forbid him to
trespass on your premises when you
see him alight from his wagon. 1t
will be money out of yonr pocket and
vexation to you if you don't do this
ANOTHER VICTORY In THE RoUGH's
PROUD RECoRD.-The base ball game
at Taylortown last Saturday between
the Mt. Morris nine and the Rough
and Ready's of this place is reported
to have been very pleasant affair
There was good deal of disturbance
outside of the ring but it was in nc
way connected with the game. The
Rough's played splendidly and made
their friends more than ever proud o
them. The umpire, Mr.. G. II. How
ard, Of Masontown, was very fair il
his decisions and there was no com
planning on either side. The gam
closed at the end of the 7th inning
it being to late TOO finish the nine in
nings.
Our club desires to return thank
to the people of Taylortown and es
pecially to Mr.. and Mrs l. N. Hick
man for their kindly treatment.
