MORE IMPOSITION.
How Some of Our Alliance Farmers
Were Cheated.


The corresponding secretary of the
Cana, Davie county, Alliance, No.
sol, writes to the Raleigh P-ogressive
Farmer the following, which we copy
by request
"Our county has just been canvass
ed from house to house by set of
agents representing plow company
in Kalamazoo, Mich, selling sulk y
plow. They sold quite number Of
sulkies in this county to Alliance men
at $35, or the sulky and cultivator
attachment at $4S. The sulky is a
simple two-wheel concern, with a
spring seat, to which you can attach
and ordinary one or two horse pillow,
then take your seat; ride and plow /;
or if you wish to cultivate corn, you
can attach the cultivator walk and
plow out a row of corn at a time.
The whole affair is cheap, shoddy
concern, but at the same time it will
do fairly good work. The point 1 wish
to make is the price at which they
were sold. After the agent had passed
through, Gone his work and gone, 1
was at Salisbury, N. c., our railroad
town-though it is thirty miles off
and found the very Identical pillow in
the hardware store, and they only
asked $40 for it, and had sold some
for $15. The hardware man said he
could not sell the id things at any
price and would not keep them in
stock any longer. Then I saw a man
just out of town who had bought one
he offered it for $40. A member of
our Alliance, and good farmer, too,
bought one of the plows for $35. He
now says that the men who bought
the p.ows ought TO be in the Insane
Asylum. To say nothing about the
working qualities Of the plow, why
pay $40 for plow that can be bought
for $15 or $20?'
Our farmers should not buy from
foreign dealers who 60 about the

Implements. When you need any
thing in the hardware or agricultural
line, come or send to Brown, Rogers
& Co., or r. r. Crawford, of Win

In all probability he should have
got the punishment Kennel prophe-
sled, but for an event that never en-
tered into our calculations.
The young lady with the iron brace
let ha,. assured Hinton that in three
days or four at the outside she could
clear her character if only she was
secured from re-apprehension in the
interval. The infatuated young man
sent her to his mother, at St. Albans,
with a touching letter that appealed
to the old lady's sympathy-of course
she regarded her son as faultless in
all things. The young lady was
treated as an honored guest. The
first thing she did was to send tele-
grams to two frienGs in London.
The old lady seem to have been
almost as much enchanted as her son
by the lady of the iron bracelet, and
at night time they parted with mutual
testimony of affectionate regard.
When the servants came down in
the morning they found the street
door, which had been carefully bolted
over night, open and the plate gone.
Later on they found that the lady with
the iron bracelet was missing also.
In the evening man was arrested
on suspicion of having committed the
burglary at the examination I iden-
titled him as the navy 1 had seen in
the carriage on the morning of the
murder. A phial of chloroform was
found in his pocket, and he was recog-
nized by the police as one of gang
who, in connection with a young
female of fashionable exterior and
prepossessing appearance, had been
concerned in series of burglaries for
which the "young female" had been
apprehended at Slovenian.
The young lady with the iron
bracelet is still at large, and l trust
my friend Hinton may never see her
again, for nothing has. cured him OF
his folly in regarding her as 'he hap.
less victim of a diabolical conspiracy.
