The Ponnlar.

This place - fast winning the confidence
OF the people 10 a very gratifying extent, ana
by keeping only first class goods whether
tine or coarse, .nd a. perfect A. human skill
and the very best Of material of the kind 10
oe had can render them, Is the cause TO
which this u due.
The proprietors OF "The Popular" have
placed their goods within the reach of all,
contenting themselves with very moderate
margin, and depending for their reward
upon the large volume of trade which must
of necessity follow and not upon heavy in
cidental profits.
Their goods are purchased from the best
manufacturers and every line Is designed TO
represent full intrinsic value, in appropria-
ton of style, in durability and in comfort.
We are well pleased 10 state that THE
Popular though yet IN It's infancy, has
gained already fine trade and good favor
aud everything that can be will be done for
the JOINT interests of their patrons and bust
ne-s.
For several years past the people of Grand
Rapids aud of the surrounding country have
been deceived by unprincipled dealers and
their worthless display advertising and who
have represented ten thousand times more
than they can actually do or carry out, and
thousands of pairs of shOddy goods have
been spread broadcast among our citizens
from the Chicago auction markets with the
representation that they were frst-class
goods, and people bought them because low
prices were an inducement for the purchase
of goods IN these hard times.
lhe proprietors of The Popular have
inaugurated a genuine system of low prices,
and for their low prices we can assure our
readers that they give in return good, solid,
durable goods, and We are confident that
people who think that only shOddy goods
can be bought for low prices will be sur
prised when they look over the new N,
complete stock Of fine boots and shoes kept
at The Popular" IS Canal street.

II Might Have Been.

It has been good thing for America,
md u better thing, perhaps, for the
world at large, that England was obstin-
nte and oppressive in her relations with
the people OF our colonies. She favored
the East India Tea Company to our
detriment, and as consequence Josiah
Quincy tirec the popular heart from tho
platform OF Faneuil Hall in Boston, and
fifty men, dressed like Mohawks, fol-
lowed by great crowd, rushed down to
Grifiins wharf and made hugh teapot
OF Boston Hurbor by smptying therein
three hundred and forty-two chests Of
the valuable and delicious luxury. That
WINS the first promise OF logical argu-
incnt which reached its conclusion on
~s-sy- =, an1as -.L.an t1.~ '~vi-ssi-As ".nai-
mously agreed that independence was a
right and necessity, to be achieved Mt
any hazard and cost.
History would have it so, and in Sep
tember. 1888, the treaty OF pence was
made in which His Britannia Mnjesty
acknowledges the said United States to
be free, sovereign and independent
states; that he treats with them as such
and for himself, his heirs and successors,
relinquishes all claims to the govern
ment, prosperity and territorial rights OF
the same, and every part thereof"
But suppose history had been other
wise minded; that George III and Lord
North had been generous and just and
Ind rivoted the bonds of union instead
of compelling us to break our chains.
What position England would occupy
today 1t requires vivid imagination
to picture The scene She would have
had India in the east, balanced by
America in Tie west. She could have
belted the globe with her armies and
would have welded power whose very
nod might have settled all international
disputes.
Butapound of tea mixed with salt water
made us frantic for liberty. fifty men,
disguised by the feathers and war paint
OF Mohawks, made Brother Jonathan
shake his fist in the face of his paternal
relative and set up national housekeep-
ing for himself. Well, we have prospered
aimee those days and added to the size
OF our house very considerably. The
old rancor has died out, and when
England wants friend in time OF need
she knows where to find him. Johna-
than is promising youth, who is ready
to put his hand to almost anything for
she proper consideration.

Grover Cleveland is the first President,

FARMERS
READ THE FOLLOWING:

| STAUNToN, VA, May goth, 1885,
am pleased to be able to speak fayorably of a
fertilizer manufactured by Mr. Reeves Gait of this
| city.
| After careful analysis found it to contain
about the average percentage of phOSph0ric acid
and potash of the best high-grade fertilizers of our
market and an amount Of ammonia considerably
higher In this fertilizer, the price falls several
dollars below its commercial value. Thisis point
greatly in its favor.
The commercial value must be understood to be
appreciated. 1t is value of SO much per pound
placed upon each constituent; take ammonia for
instance: A committee of chemists of the various
State Agricultural Experiment Stations, which
made these valuations has placed value of TWEEN
ty cents per pound upon ammonia. Now let us
take this fertilizer; it contains upwards of three
per cent of ammonia. This would be over sixty
pounds to the ton, or a value for ammonia
alone OF more than twelve dollars per ton. The
sum OF the value of the other constituents found
in the same way gives the commercial value.
This fertilizer is in an excellent condition for
drilling owing to its low percentage of moisture.
