are hard and grain is cheap, and rs
am anxious to improve the breed Of

in any market. After this cross you
have fine class of mares to breed to,
the trotting bred horse, which is apt
TO produce you speed as well as great
roadster and toppy carriage horse.
This is the class of horses that bring
the big money to the farmer.
G. III. JONES,
We also offer to the public the service
of our standard bred trotting stallion,
billiard Alexander, No. 5,027, at the
same fee and terms of last season. This
horse is developing into great horse.
He is showing great speed and endu-
rance, which we should expect from
his high breeding.
Both of these horses will be found ut
G.. III. Jones barn, on the alley in rear
of Burnside'S grocery, south of Park,
until April 18th; after that time they
will be kept in the north stables at the
fair ground, where they will be shown

favors and kindly soliciting your pat
ronage for 1890, we remain
