DEAR SIR
Do you want any FERTILIZER for Oats, Corn
and Potatoes? Our "CoMPorND" has been thor
oughly tested on these crops with the most salts
factory results. Mr.. ]. Massengll, one of the
best farmers in Sullivan County, used on oats
100 lbs. to the acre-the yield was rs bushels to
the acre. He beat us, as we got only IS bushels
to the acre, but our land was very poor We tried
it on corn last year on thin highland. We new
er saw such rank growth of corn on highland.
If we could have gotten two more rains on it be-
fore the drouth set in, the yield would have
to the acre
Asa PoTAToE FERTILIZER IT can't be excel
cd Take good clover land, strew it along the
poatoe furrow at the rate OF 200 or 300 lbs to the
acre. Drop the sets, aid cover up all together,
and you will have larger and smoother potatoes
than you ever had before.
GRASS AND CLOVER will grow after it with a
hlxuriance equal to land manured with stable
manure. Unlike most of the Fertilizer, 1t can
not be washed out of the soil by rains any more
than ashes can be washed out. Hence II is as
permanent in its effects as it is possible for any
manure to be.
In order to place it in the reach of ALL we pro-
pose 70 sell il at the extremely low price of 81 70
per sack of 200 lbs, or $3.50 per ton at Bristol,
all charges paid. Terms Cash ON delivery or in
30 days.
Yours Truly,
JH. WINSTON & SON

A large and enthusiastic meeting
of Independent Republicans was held
at Boston on Friday. The following
red-hot resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, We are met in conven-
ton as Republicans and Independ-
ents of Massachusetts, to take action
in opposition to the nomination of j.
G. Blaine for President and j. A. Lo-
gan for Vice-President of the United
States and,
WHEREAS, The candidates were
named in absolute disregard of the
reform sentiment of the Nation, and
represent political methods and prin-
ciples to which we are opposed,
ReSolced, That it is our conviction
that the country will be better served
by opposing these nominations than
by supporting them.
ReSOlCed, That we look with sole.
itude to the coming nomination by
the Democratic party. They have
the proper men. We hope they will
put them before the people for elec-
ton.
ResolUed, That a committee o. one
hundred be appointed with full pow
crs.
ReS0lred, That whatever a ton be
taken by the Democratic Convention
we, as Republicans and lndepend-
ents. direct our committee to call a
convention IN such manner rs they
may deem expedicnt after the Demo.
cratic candidates have been nomina
ted and not ter than August !. #
take such further action as may. f.
them. seem necessary TO carry tho
sense of the meeting into pructica
effect.
The names of Cleveland and Bay
ard were heartily applau led during
the proce 'dingS, and should either o
them be nominated by the Demo.
Gratis, the nomination would be in
Lorscd by the Independents. 1t real
ly begins to look like the most excl =
ing feature Of the campaign will be
the race between Blaine and ButleI
for second place.
