Sharpers are playing new game on the
farmers in some of the lower counties, and
it would be well for the farmers every
where to be on their guard. The new swim

agrees to buy farmers land, and pays
him about thirty dollars to bind the con-
tract. Another sharper comes along, offers
$500 more, and gets the promise of it if the
farmer can buy off the first purchaser
who soon comes around and insists on his

ance-leaving the farmer the loser.''
