I'D. Good has an immense stock of
furniture and stoves in addition to his
usual stock of goods. There is large
demand for stoves and furniture at
this season Of the year and Mr.. Good
is prepared to meet it. Prices,
especially on stoves, are low. Wheat
and other kinds of farm produce is
low and Mr.. Good says that he pro-
! poses to keep goods correspondingly
low. Call and see him and look over
his new goods and get the benefit of
his low prices.
The fault OF poor threshing is often
! due to insufficient help. Unless a
! constant stream of grain i'm the straw
is going into the machine it cannot
do good work. With too little help
the grain comes in punches. A great
deal depends upon the feeder. If he
is careless and inefficient he will not
try to keep an even flow of grain into
the machine. To run empty is even
7 worse than to have the machine too
full. Its accelerated motion throws
the grain on the straw carrier where
tits lost.-Practical Farmer.

every local paper gives from 800 to
5000 in free lines for the benefit Of
the community in which it is located
No other agency can or will do this
The local editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his town than
my other ten men, and in all fairness
man with man. he ought to be sup

aim or admire his writings, but be.

may not be brilliant or crowded with

more of a benefit to O. community
I than a preacher or teacher. Under
stand us now, we do not mean moral
" or Intellectually, but financially
md yet on the moral question yor

papers are on the right side of tn,

.papers do the most work for the leas
