Complaints are heard from citizens of

and pure drugs, which will be sold at the
lowest market prices Give them q call
and be convinced of the fact.

desires to impress upon our farmers the
necessity of plowlng fircbrcaks, and
especially around stacks of grain and hay.
Everybody intends to make his stacks
safe, but everybody doesn't always carry

so that those attending may visit Yates
and witness tie Indians slaughtering their
