F financial Opportunity.

The undersigned having assumed the
general eastern agency for the sale of the
stock and building lots of the MUNcIE NAT
URAL GAS LAND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY of
Muncie Indiana, respectfully offers them to
the public, believing this to be an unpar-
alleled opportunity to make money rapidly
and legitimately on moderate invest
ment-having spent over three weeks at
Munce and the offices of the company
looking over its charming city, its fifty-three
manufactures, and its wonderful natural
gas, which warns and lights the homes of
its 10000 people, propels its factories, lights
its streets and saves its people in fuel and
light already over 100000 annually, Its
population has doubled in the last few
months and must soon reach $4,000. Hav-
ing thoroughly investigated its affairs and
the standing of its officers to complete salts
faction, the expert prediction is that the
stock which is to-day offered at S75 per
share will, inside of eighteen months, com
mand $3.50, and its building lots increase in
value over fourfold. Those who invest
now will get the bottom or ground floor
prices. The man or woman of moderate
means will receive the same consideration
i'll purchasing one share of stock or one
building lot as the banker or capitalist.
All orders from this section of the country
are passed to the credit of the eastern agent,
whether made through him or the officers
of the company. All correspondence or in
vestments made will be regarded as strictly
confidential, and those dealing here direct
may receive advice and suggestions which
they have neither the time or opportunity
to devote to at the general offices of the
company The subscriber has taken per-
sonally and disposed of to intimate
friends already over S97 600 worth of stock
and building lots and respectfully invites
correspondence and personal visitation at
his office, where he will be happy to extend
every courtesy he possesses to inquirers
and customers. Respectfully,

Notes.

THE butter market is still lower and
weaker and prices declined all round about
two cents during the past week. Receipts
have been rather light.
THE situation in onions is curious one.
Last year this time, owing to a shortage in
the yield, old onions were quoted at "a to So
per barrel for poor to prime. At present
onions are urged for sale at every oppor-
tunity at forty to seventy-five cents per
barrel and still the consumption is not
very much heavier than last season.
COMMON and ordinary grades of beeves
sold at $3.50 to S450per 100 lbs, live weight
Prices for Western cattle were frmer,
beeves selling at One-fourth of a cent per
pound advance of those noticed one week
ago for the same grade of beeves. Few
Northern cattle were sold at 4 to 4ic per
ID, live weight, or from to &c per Id, dressed
weight.
II is generally conceded that this year is
to see higher prices on wool. The Ohio
farmer is already getting more than last
year and what is now needed is an ability
among manufacturers to pay more. If the
goods market can be put upon solid basis
manufacturers will not object to the adj
vance which farmers naturally and conf
IDENTIFY expect. The Ohio farmer will not
listen to less than 30c for his wool, and
those who can afford to hold it are not at
all DESTROYS of selling at that. The clip is
expected to be in good condition, as sheep
wintered well. Clean wool and a good
staple is expected. One of the very oldest
dealers in Central Ohio estimates the clip OF
the state at not much over sixteen million
pounds. In 1884 Ohio had over five mil
lion Sheep in 1888 a decrease of one
million three hundred thousand was seen.
In Texas and California business in the

Plain History.

Swift's Specific is a simple vegetable COM
pound, prepared from roots gathered freshly
from the forest, and contains nothing of the
mineral kingdom, or any poisonous sub
stance, or any article at all which comes
from the chemists laboratory.
The formula of the remedy was obtained
from the Creek Indians in Middle Georgia,
by reliable white men, who had witnessed
the wonderful cures made by that tribe of
Indians Of blood diseases. Mr.. Hugh L..
Dennard of Houston county, Georgia, be-
gan using Swift's Specific in 1929, and con-
tinued its use all of his life, and asserted
that he had never known it to fail to cure
any case of scrofula, blood faint or centa-
gious blood poison. This testimony has
been corroborated every day for years The
present company was formed in 1879, and
has since made known to the world the
virtue of Swift's Specific, and to-day it is
sold in every city, town and country store
all over America, Great Britain and many
other portions of the world.
HAVE seen Swift's Specific used, and
know of many cases Of the worst form of
blood diseases which have been cured by it.
| know the proprietors to be gentlemen of
the highest type and utmost reliability. |
recommend it as a great blood remedy, un-
equaled by anything that know of.
