GLOBE TEA COMPANY

Mr.. EDITOR Please allow me space

reference to the above company which,
| believe, is the most brazen fraud
within our State, and / voice the SEN
timent Of our entire community when
] say that their advertisements as to
valuable prizes, such as diamond rings,
diamond studs, etc, drawn by our peo-
pie, arc lies These socalled yalua-
bic CD prizes would, perhaps, in the
aggregate, amount 10 two or three dol
lars in value these in return for $50
or $50 sent to them by people who had
faith in their bold advertisement where
in they say that every package draws
some valuable prize, besides the worth
Of the money in good tea /, among
the rest, invested-not expecting any
very valuable prize--but expecting to
get something worth at least ten cents.
j got nothing, IN the way OF the cheap
est, unrefned brass, dipped with red
paint-cheaper than ordinary tin-cer-
tainly dear at penny Ny experience
is that of perhaps fifty other persons in
this community who arc ashamed to let
people know that they were cheated
From the fact that the prizes that came
here were published in the Wheeling
dailics before the parties hero had re-
ceived them, is sufficient proof that the
whole thing is an unfair scheme, and
that they know just what each party
will receive, and can distribute their
prizes-if they have any-to whoever
they please. The Wheeling papers
should not advertise such stuff.
Beware Of the Globe Tea Company.

Ever since men began TO build high
bridges other men have occasionally
jumped from them-sometimes in mad

! was led to reflect upon this subject in
the present instance by the remembrance
Of the splendid gowns that were shown
me Yesterday, and at which was obliged
to look with my strongest spectacles to
discover waist or sleeves. The dress
makers all told me early this spring that
ball dresses were to have sleeves, quite
long ones nearly two inches and hall
long But the dresses | mention and

thosc persons are called who, by ri hit Of
enormous wealth, are more conspicuous
than other people, aud who, in virtue OF
the exatatiOn of their positions, delibcr-

sense and sometimes even of decency ard
who go to the extreme lengths they do TO
see if others dare follow. These dresses
do not show il. There are few, how
ever, which have bows Of ribbon on the
shoulders or a little fall of lace, which
are made To- do duty for sleeves.
