body else, take the paper that stands
up for the true interests of the farmer
through thick and thin, and that is
besides the biggest and newsiest pa
per i'm the county? You are perfectly
safe i'm saying that nine-tenths of the
members of the Alliance i'm Allen
county take the REGISTER. And you

Why, at the G.. A. II.
Monday night 800 people

was slightly bruised. Rae. Miller |
stayed in and was not hurt. kreuter |
