There will be as many sales of personal
property this year as in any recent year.
Those who sell ought to be sure they leave
untried no way to get the best prices. The
farmer needs now all he can make. There
are different kinds of sales. That at
which numerous bidders can be got is sure
to be the best.
How can we get biddersi The answer is
easy. Tell the people about your sale, its
date and all you will offer. Let every
body in the county know Of 1t. Let them
hear about it once a week for one, two or
three weeks,or longer. And how can we do
this Well if you want il known that
your daughter is married or your mother
ln-law dead how do you proceed toinform
every body. You put it in the HERALD, or
have the preacher do 1t. How do you let
people know you have the biggest po-
tatoes, or the best grain, or the longest
corn-stalks You put the fact in the
HERALD.
Well, then, if you want an army Of good
bidders at your sale Just put your invi
tation in the HERALD. Ofcourse we will
charge you something for our work. Bat if
for every quarter you spend you get a
dollar back you don't mind paying. You
are an honest farmer and know what
trading means. particularly trading in
broad day quarter for a dollar. If our
columns were Of no value to you we
would offer you, as some publishers do,
their use for nothing. But they are
worth something to you and accordingly
we make living charge TO those who use
them. We reach all the good buyers
Through us you invite them to your sale
OF course they will come Any farmer
who has tried it knows this. It pays four
times over to advertise your sale in the
HERALD. We feel so confident of this that
we would almost be willing to give a
written guarantee to this effect.

eing told again, where TO get neat, clean,
Nndsome, attractive bills, and get them,
Il, at comparatively small expense
Tst the HERALD to give you just what
20 want and when you want it.

A Female Bandit.

The death is announced of one of
the most remarkable women that
Mexico has ever produced. Not
withstanding her strange and peril
Gus career she attained ripe old age
and became one of the wealthiest
women in the Republic. This woman
was Sonora Amastia Rubio de Pasca-
dero. In her early womanhood she
devoted her time to robbery, and
if half the reports regarding her
career are true it is no wonder that
she left a vast fortune at her death.
One of her most notable exploits was
a stage robbery in the State of Zaca-
tecas.
One night she dressed herself IN
mems clothing, and mounting horse
rode from the little town of San An
tonic to the Racatecas and Aques
Calantes stage road, where she wait
ed in small mesquite grove for the
south-bond stage to pass. AS the
postillions came up she commanded
them with a revolver in hand to
halt, put out their torches and fall
into the rear of the coach, which was
a few yards behind them. She then
advanced upon the driver and keeper
who were made to dismount, expect
ing every moment to be shot from
ambush as she kept saying, Don't
shoot unless they offer resfSRace..'
The passengers, eight in number
who were inside the sage were led
to believe from the female road
agents conversation that an armed
party was in the brlsh, and when
she came up demanded their money,
watches and jewely they lost no
time in obeying her. She then babe
the passengers goodnight, and after
admonishing them not to make a
movement within half an hour dis
appeared in the glove. During her
career she killed agreat many men,
and for many long years was terror
to the people of Snaloa, Jalisco and
Sonora. Troops and State police
chased her for years. but could never
entrap her. 1t was stated that the
reason she gave for adopting such q
remarkable mode of life was the
murder by Federal troops of her in
tended husband years ago, when she
was in her teens. She then made 6
vow that she would kill or ruin five
men for every year she should be
permitted to live. She was one o.
the most desperate bandits Mexico
ever produced, Notwithstanding she
was a woman. Before her death she
related her strange history and be
queathed her immense fortune tt
charities. At her request she was
buried beside her dead lover in hel
native town, San Antonio.

A Wonderful Invention.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
There was a meeting yesterday OF
the Electro Automatic Transit Com.
pany of Brltimore City. 1t was de-
cided to build test line for the rapid
delivery of newspapers, mails and
express matters generally. The me-
chanical contrivence, under the new
system of rapid transit invented by
David G. Weems, of this city, and
controlled by the above named com
pany. bids fair to revolutionize the
world in this respect.
1t is vesy simple, consisting of a
light structure, elevated some 20 feet
from the ground. thereby offering no
hindrance to the cultivation of fields
over which it may pass. Cars, point
ed at both ends, are run on two
tracks which acts in the two-fold Ca
pacity of guide rail, and the con-
ductOr of the electric current. Each
car is provided with an upper or
guide wheel at each end, whose
fianges inclose the upper or guide
rail on each side, thus rendering the
jumping of the track matter of i'm
possibility, The motive power con-
sists of permanent generator of GER
tain prescribed horsepower, located
at each end of the line, from which
the current passes to the induction
rail, where it is Immediately taken
up by the travelling motor. to which
one or more cars may be attached.
The whole train is automatic in its
action, each car springing its own
brakes in succession, in passing a
permanent trip-lever, located at
sufficient distance from the stopping
place, after the train has already
passed point where the electric cur
rent is cut off permanently. leaving
the train to its own momentum only,
when the brakes are automatically
applied. By the proposed line Bal
timore newspapers, mail matter or
express packages would reach Chi
cago in about two hours. Chicago is
distant from Baltimore 801 miles by
rail. Matter from San Francisco to
New York would be nine hours in
transit.

Hannibal Hamlin on Lincoln.

Venerable Hannibal Hamlin,
white and wrinkled with his eighty
years, lifelong Republican, Vice.
President with Abraham Lincoln
and beloved and honored by Repub-
licans all over the land, proved in
speech here last night that his politi-
cal faith is unwavering. The occas-
ion was a meeting of the Veteran
Republican Club, which was organ
lied after the first great triumph OF
the Republican party to commemor-
ate the election of President Lincoln.
The marvellous old man began thus:
II thank God there is no vote of
mine in thirty-four long years OF
Congressional life that was not for
freedom" Speaking to the young
men present he beggeu of them to
''shun the Democratic party as they
would a viper. The Democratic
party is not one whit more patriotic
or more honest to-day than in the
closing days of Buchanan's admins
tration. l do not know but the DEM
ocratic party of to-day is orse than
the Democratic party of 1860.
abraham Lincoln was President
of the United States. Now if you
think that all over, it is very COM
prehensive. When you recall that
he had such men in his Cabinet as
William III. Seward and Salmon P.
Chase, yet lowered above all others
and dominated them all, you will
get little idea of the meaning of the
fact that Abraham Lincoln was Pres
ident and not his Cabinet. l will call
to your minds historical fact. AL
most the very first days of the or
ganization of his administration the
question was presented to his Cabi-
net whether Fort Sumpter should be
surrendered or not and the Cabinet
voted yes, but Abraham Lincoln
voted no, and the fort was not sur
rendered. state that fact because it
has not been stated historically, |
cannot say how many, bnt in a great
many other instances the whole di-
rection of the government was con-
trolled by Abraham Lincoln, with
his Cabinet not In harmony with
him."
The emancipation proclamation
Mr.. Hamlin said, was "the act OF
Lincoln and nobody else /; not the
act of his Cabinet. | was urging him
in season and out of season to issue
that proclamation, but the time had
not come. l happened to be in Wash
ington just before it became known
that it was to be issued, and at Mr..
Lincoln's desire accompanied him to
| his study, and he said that had been
| urging him at all times to issue an
emancipation proclamation. Then
said he 81 think the timenas about
come, Mr.. Hamlin. and as you have
said good deal about it l am going
to show it to you as the first man who
has eyer read it. No member of nv
Cabinet has seen it, So L use the
language that it was Abraham Lin
coins proclamation and not the proc.
lamation of his Cabinet. "-POrtland,
