Archie McDougall has in his posses
sion the old English army bugle which
his grandfather, Frank Place, used in
the British army in Canada during the
war of 1912. Mr.. Place died in Salem
Derby, in 1867. He was an expert bu-
gler, and it is said that he could play
many tunes on the keyless bugle, a
very difficult thing to do. The older
citizens of the county will remember
the sound and the bugle calls of the
old English deserter, Frank Place.
There is every reason to believe that
the coming annual exhibition of the
Stanstead Live Stock Association will
eclipse any former exhibition OF the
association, and that is saying a good
deal, The officers have made every
possible improvement, and in nearly
all departments entries are abundant.
In addition to the regular prizes large
list of special prizes has been issued
which should not be overlooked by
those who have anything which they
consider worthy of prize. The races
will be especially attractive. AS vii
A, be seen by an attractive advertisement
the exhibition will take place on the
18th, 10Th and 10Th of this month,

A man, unknown to the citizens o.
this town, is going about the farming
districts selling grocery goods. He
takes the names of farmers and the
goods they wish to purchase anC
promises to deliver them at a low price
t stipulated, the purchaser to take then
;. or not, as he chooses when they arr
delivered. Now we believe this is
: humbug and fraudulent scheme t.
beat the purchaser. There is no maj
, or agent who can sell goods about tn
I country at less price, quality consld
cred. than the country merchant
n There is no stranger who care
oshucks' about his customers, othe
= than to make as large profit as pos
sible off his goods. He is not respons
= ible for anything; he can give shor
:. measure, short weight, adulterate
. goods anything almost, and the pur
chasers can not protect themselves
u When purchases are made of the locs
o merchant there is, or may be, ampl
l. redress for poor goods; he is respons
a ible and will right wrongs that ar
n made, or he can be abandoned and hi
re rival patronized. The country me1
chant is a necessity; he supplies HI
,e customers the year around with a
IS sorts of goods and necessaries whlc
lg the farmer must have. He purchase
the farmers produce; he is neigh
Z Dor, friend; he pays taxes; he sur
n ports churches; he is in a legitimat
,r business and he deserves patronag
and friendship His business,a as rul
is not more profitable than that of tt
% farmer or the mechanic who puts {
= much time, brains and worry into h
- labors. These travelling peddler
agents and renegades are entitled
nothing, unless it may be suspicion
ne Farmers ought to have memoirs
A that will reach back to the good O.
SIS times of the lightning rod swindle, tt
ne atlas swindle, the cloth package swil
die and a dozen more of these recu
a ring humbugs which are oftentim
tie popular, but always curse. Go sloN
er farmers. The fellow is after you,
in he has not got your order already.
