IN THE FIELD.

This year we offer to the trade the above
wel-known brands of Fertilizers, the merits
of which are attested by some of the most
prominent farmers in this and other States.
We can buy materials cheaper, and have
better facilities for manufacturing than ever
before, and therefore can place upon the
market first. class goods at very low price.
We guarantee these brands to be of the past
good standard. Owing to the low price of
wheat and the depression of business gener-
ally, we have made liberal reduction in our
prices, in order to place our Fertilizers within
the reach of every farmer, feeling that in
creased sales will fully repay us for the re-
duction in price.
We will deliver to any station on W. M: r..
R. our 'Smith's Raw Bone Phosphate" at
$33 per ton, crop time; our ''Smith' S Soluble
Phosphate at $24 per ton, crop time; and
our fSmith's Dissolved Bone at $35 per
ton, crop time. Remember, we pay the
freig ght on these goods at these prices BdFA
liberal discount made for cash. See our cir
culars with testimonials. Send US your order
With thanks for past favors, and an earnest
solicitation for fair share of your patronage
in the future, we remain, very respectfully,

ALICE HAWKES..


ALICE HAWKES..
Do you know that lovely widow,
Alice Hawkes.?
Ever lively, gay and brilliant,
How she talks
In her movements to and fro,
Smiling sweetly does she go,
Never noisy, never needless, never rude;
Tripping here and laughing there,
Blithe and graceful as she's fair,
She is always blithe and happy, and she's good.
Did you see her move so sprghtly
Down the street?
How she looked so very handsome
And SO sweet
With her dainty gloves and dress,
That you envied the caress
Ofthe wanton winds that kissed her lips and
cheek
And you thought it would be bliss,
If you, like the winds, could kiss,
That sweet face of hers, with bright eyes
looking meek?
