BEATS THE WORLD !


TIME opening sales of our new and improved
Il sUNFIsH PLow were far beyond our most
sanguine expectation. and its praise has been
sounded far and wide for quality of work and
lightness of draft. Our business has not
been confined to this and adjoining counties,
but we are receiving orders from abroad
Farmers are learning not to buy poor imple-
ment because 1t is cheap, but get the best and
gain in good crops. There are several good
points in our Plow, which commend it above
all others. In the first place, it is made of the
very best material. and secondly it is q
Wrought Pillow, and can be repaired by any
ordinary workman. and at a less cost; thirdly,
it cuts off the land level below before COM
mencing to turn the furrow, tn ereby leaving
the ground to get the full benefit of a rainfall.
while other plows trough it ont. leaving the
water to follow the trough. 1t can be adjusted
TO nicely to cut any desired width of furrow !:
works easy with two or three horses. Try the
Plow. We don't give Chrome with each
Plow, but we do give satisfaction. Our Three
horse Sunfish beats the world.

DOCTORS SHOULD WRITE
PLAIN.
(scienIifc America

The Medical Register (PhiladeI-
phia), under the heading of Sore
of the lost arts" takes the doctors
to task for not writing the ir pre-
scriptions more lntelligibly. The
writer claims that the druggist is
liable TO, and frequently does,
make mistakes from misenter-
preting the writing, and that the
lite Of the patient is imperiled by
their wretched cbiograpby. The
ordinary prescription is often as
undecipherable as Egyptian hero
glyphics written upon pspyIus of
three thousand years ago, and
what is worse, there does not seem
to be any tendency toward i'm
provement; the modern belief
being that bad penmanship is an
evidence of genius. The result is
that the patients do not get the
medicines ordered by the physic~
ian, or that which the physician
supposes be orders,
Some years ago, the writer
formed the acquaintance of a
druggist who said that he did net
pretend to follow the prescriptions,
sent him, because in many instan-
ces it would be unsafe for the
patient 10 take the dose, and fire.
queutly the chiography was SO
miserable hat it WAS impossible
to make out just what the doctor
wanted He wssfrequeutly compell.
ed to treat the patients himself
although to all appearance they
were under the care of the regulal
physician. This plan was adopt
ed after due deliberation and trial
the druggist finding that whel
prescriptions were returned fol

end of the business, the prescrip-
tion being sent elsewhere. lie

it is due largely to sheer negli.
gence; and when the writing be

of lack of time, it would be the
part of wisdom to employ a com.

may be able to revive, If not re-

iEGURE A home n THE LAND OF FLOHRs
DINSMOREl

DIINDNIONI.
One of the growing towns of the
South, is situated on both sides of
Savan ah, Florida & Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and a successful horti-
cultural and truck-gIowing section
of the State. Dinsmole can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour aud Il half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
Dinsmofe is not one of the isola-
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
The land can be obtained at re.
markably low figures aud on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures a poor man can make regu-
lar payments on valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act
ually thrown away. 1t is an in
vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, S65, $50, S35. Sec
ond choice, S25 SIS. Third choice
SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, S5. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adj cent to
Dinsmore, containing from FIVE to
sixteen acres each, which We offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at SIS acre.
| Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years.
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State of
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
sTruck farming around DlnSmore
would be at the door Of two CT the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy d lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson.
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think Of it. There are
eight passenger trains per day ami
the round trip will only cost TWEEN
ty-five cents. Trout creek, a large
stream passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance Of fish.
? TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. II is the very best chance
you will have TO secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
f startling prices.
The merchants in DinSmore are
) enjoying a good trade and the
) town is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
desire work can get from a dollar
and a half to two dollars per day

THE RED ELEPHANT GROUP.
Another Strike Reported In this Promis-
ing Property.

William Mac, foreman of the Red
Elephant group of mines, came down
from Bullion Yesterday, to report a
new strike in his shaft, at a depth Of
about ESQ feet from the surface, and
at point about 100 feet lower than
the lowest workings. When he
left there was vein Of solid galena
and gray copper four inches wide ex-
posed, which was aanked by about
four feet of concentrating ore. This
seemed likely to widen as sunk upon.
The strike was made Tuesday.
The other workings, Mr.. Mac states,
are looking better than ever. The
ore-chute or chimney on the lS0-level
has been cut into in four places, and
is now known to be 65 feet long, "and
the end is not yet" Where cut into
this chute showed from 10 to Is
inches Of solid galena and gray cop
per, and to 10 feet Of second class
or entrating ore.
Thomas Gibbons, Superintendent,
Of the King of the Hills group, visit.
ID the Red Elephant group, few
days ago. and was really surprised to
see so much ore exposed. After 60
ing through the property Mr.. Gibbons
thought while and then, turning te
Mr.. Mac, said: "You want a gooo

That was the Price at Which J. NJ.
Blossom Once Sold Apples in Oman.

j. NJ Blossom, now of HALEY,
supplied the New Years Oregonian
with the following statement of his
early operations in fruit:
Thomas PritcLard, w. c. Hull and
myself bought and sold apples on
joint account in 1855. We purchased
al! there was for sale, excepting what
were purchased by Strowbridge
Brothers. Our purchase that year
amounted to about 1000 bushels, the
price paid was $ll to s. 6 per bushel
of As pounds. Fall apples were
cheaper than the winter varieties.
Our entire purchase averaged about
$l3 per bushel. Hull and myself
bought the apples aud Mr.. Pritchard
furnished the cash to pay for them.
| packed all of them in boxes at
Portland. went to San Francisco
with one shipment of apples before
Mr.. Pritchard went there for the sea-
son to superintenl the sales. Most Of
them were inferior varieties, say fall
seedlings, though had a few boxes
of choice ones, such as Roxbury Rus
sets and others. sold the best cues
to country dealers at 60 to Is cents
per pound, and then closed out the
lot had on hand at As cents per
pound. Mr. Pritchard also realized
high prices for the apples he sold, but
all prices were high to correspond, and
freights were enormous on the steam
er Columbia, that did mos, of the
shipping, and other expenses amount
ed to so much that our net profits
were only $500, or just 81 100 piece.
We bought all we could find for sale
in the Willamette valley. The best
orchards at that time were located on
lowell prairie, and were owned by
Wesley and Davis Shannon and Mr.
Simmons, by whom | was treated
with noble generosity and the utmost
kindness, as | was by all the oil pio-
neers of Oregon with whom l then
had business. Among these l recall

The best varieties in those DAYS were

Those were good old times which we
