"A fraudulent scheme which is being
worked upon unsuspscting farmers in some
. sections goes under the name of IOaD com
pany. This is the way 1t is operated Cir
culars are sent out, and advertisements are
inserted IN respectable papers, offering loans
on low rates Of interest and very easy
terms. Numerous farmers. apply for IoaLs.
The terms are, ten dollars as an application
and registration fee, which IS to be de-
ducted from the first half years interest.
II a victim sends his ten dollars he Is de-
frauded to that extent. He never gets his
loan and never gets his money back again.
because be never has a chance to pay any
interest TO deduct it from.
We inadvertently omitted to state last
week that Hon, H A Bogss, State Senator
from this district, was married in St. Louis
about the 1st OF January, to Miss Laura L.
CrOwder, OF Latham, Missouri or Miss
Crowder, the JohnstOwn Tribune says
''She Is said to be a school teacher Il g not
known where the Senator first met her, but
1t Is presumed his recent trip to the West
wsa largely on her account although his i'm
mediate object was said to be to visit his
brother, who lives In Upton near Latham. u
SO far az we are advised Senator BoQgs and
his bride have not yet arrived In Johustowu
where be resides. He will please accept
our congratulations.
