ABS. HARTER, AUCTToNEER.-
This name has become so familiar with
most people throughout this and neigh
boring valley 8, that it is hardly necess-
ary to state that no better auctioneer is
to be found anywhere. He has the ne
cessary quantity of "wind," is able to
keep the crowd in good humor and dis
poses of the goods OH hand with all the
dispatch possible. 1t will pay persons
wishing an auctioneer to procure his
services. His charges are moderate.
An exchange truthfully says: "The
local paper is the one identified with
the interests of your home. 1t is con-
Quoted by those you know. Its col
umns are filled with what is Ofspecial
value to you. In its prosperity you can
best contribute by giving it your sup.
port and patronage. 1t knows your
wants. Your interests are its interests,
1t is your friend, your neighbor. Youl
duty is first to it, in preference to any
and all others. No outside or foreign
paper can possibly have claims against
you until your duty is discharged to the
local journal"
