A number of the citizens of this place have
been swindled in small way by two enter
prising strangers who were carrying on their
operations here the latter part of last week

exhibited letter purporting to have been
written by Rev. DIR. Henkle, of the Lutheran
Church. recommending him to the charitably
disposed of that denomination. Appended
to the letter was list of subscriptions, at
the head of which was the name of Rev. P.
II. Miller, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church
of this city, for subscription of 81 In
calling on the members of that church the
paper was exhibited, and the operator eX
planned that he was suffering with an incura-
BILE cancer, and that he had wife and four
children in destitute circumstances. In some
instances he represented that his wife and
children were staying at the Lutheran par
sonage until he could raise sufficient funds to
take them to Erie, Pa. Success was attend
ing his efforts, and he had received contribu-
tions from ex-Mayor Milton Schaefier, Rev.

a contribution, when Mr.. Miller called at
the office and encountered him in the very
act An exposure followed, Mr.. Geiselman's
money was refunded, the paper was destroyed,
but the swindler was permitted to go his way.
1t was learned that he had several names of
prominent members of the church on his
paper, for contributions, who had given him
nothing, and that he had raised the figures of
the sums actually contributed. Rev. Mr..
Miller's name was forgery.
The other swindler victimized Mr.. George
l.. Stocksdale, member of the Carroll
bar, and several business men, in a
small way, by representing that he was get
ting up placard to be posted in the Eastern
Hotel of this city, bearing their business and
professional cards.

DUBLIC SALES.

The prospect is that personal property sales
in February and March will be numerous.
How to get the largest attendance and the
best prices is matter for consideration by
all who propose TO make sale.
Past experience has shown that the man
with the best material does not always get the
best prices, simply because he neglects the
best way to get the most bidders. The sale
with plenty of bidders is always the best.
The farmer asks, how can we get bidders
The answer is easy. Tell the people about
your sale, its date and all you will offer. Let
everybody in the county know of it. Let
them hear about it once a week for one, two
or three weeks. And how can he do this
Well If you want il known that your daughter
is married or your mother-in- law is dead, or a
fair or festival is to be held, or a church to be
dedicated, how do You proceed to inform
everybody? You put it in the ADVOCATE.
How do you let people know you have the
biggest potatoes, or the best grain, or the
longest corn stalks, or the biggest hogs? You
put the fact in the ADVOCATE. How do you
find out that your friend is i'll, or has gone
visiting, or is building a new house, or has
met with an accident or found good fortune?
You learn it through this paper.
Well, then, if you want AN army of good
bidders at your sale just put your invitation
in the ADVOCATE. OF course we will charge
you something for our work The eircnla.
ton of the ADyocATE is far greater than any
other paper in the county. 1t goes every
where. People of all parties and beliefs take
it. 1t reaches the best buyers in the county,
and it has subscribers in the adjoining coun
ties. An advertisement of sale in its
columns will reach ten times as many people
as read hand bill, though the latter are val
liable, and the best that can be gotten in this
section are to be obtained at
