A new eultlvator will do the work
Of three plows. A new corn or
cotton planter will do more and
better work than five men. Just
try the new implements once.
"A neighbOring newspaper man
in speaking Of subscriber who
sent his paper back refused"
paying for the same six
months after he had subscribed
says: LET the search tor the
man on earth cease. The
individual who used the wart on his
neck for a collar button, and the
one who pastured goat on his
mothers grave are gentlemen COM
pared with such fellows as these"
The public school in Bolivar
which is now succeeding so nicely
and satisfactorily under the present
management, is greatly in need of
seats and desks and apparatus for
teaching geography and natural
science, If the directors have the
money they could not put it to
better use than to purchase these
articles. If they have not the
means, let us raise it by private
subscription If necessary.
1t is very probable that Boli-

county, with which he is we'll pleas
ed. He represents a Mr.. Dolph,
a banker and capitalist of Cincinnati.
1t is his intention TO establish
spoke and hub factory here to supplya
large carriage mandatory at Gin
clnnati. A meeting of some of the
citizens of Bolivar Friday night in
Kahn Brother" store, called for the
purpose of taking some action in
regard to the matter, decided to buy
q lot near the depot and build a
house, not to cost over eight>hun-
dred dollars, provided they decided
to have the factory here. 1t was
required of them. however that they
should deposit eight hundred dol
lars in the Bank Of Bolivar, IN case
of a failure to comply with the con-
tract, which deposit would be held
for the house and lot. Mr.. Spill
lard signiRed his willingness to
this and stated as soon as he coul d
correspond with Mr.. Dolph he
would give our citizens q definite
answer.
