Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1889-04-04

The LIGHTNING ROD MEE.-Mr. Isaac
Long, of Townsville District, was duped in
to contract fol. the repair Of his lightning
rods, which by skillful mode of measure
ment ran up bill of $40 against HIM, which
was compromised Ivy his giving his note for
$175, and finally settled by the payment of
800 in cash. He had expected the job,
when the contract was made, to cost him
but few dollars. The news now comes
that other persons were swinded in SINH
lar way. If these farmers could only be
made to understand that the swindling con-
tract was Of no value and had not been
inundated into giving notes, they would
have been safe. The threat to sue on these
contracts are mere bluff. No jury would
compel man to pay $24o for mending a
lightning rod unless he gives n negotiable
note which goes into the bands Of an limo.

TOBACCO.

Tshaeeo is but an Indisp weed.
Gsows green at mOnn ..eut down ut eve.
IT shows osr decay;
We are but clay.
Think OF this when You smoke tdsaeeo.
The pipe which is so lily while.
Wherein so many take delight
'Tis broken by touch.
Mans life is such.
Think Of this when you smoke tobacco.
The ashes that are left behind
DO serve to put us all in mind
That niito dust
Return WA. must,
Think of this when you smoke tobacco.
The pipe which is so foul within,
Shows that nan'slifs is stained with sin
As it does require
To he purged with FIRE.
Think of this when you smoke tobacco.
The smoke which does so high ascend
Shows that mars life must have an end.
When the vt,p"r's gone,
Mans life is done.
Think <d this when Yos smoke tobacco.

Of the late war. 1t is nothing Of the kind,
