A SHORT STORY.

bout twenty years ago, or before
r. Sherman had hoodooed the money
tbe country, a farmer from the north
of Bourbon county came to Fort
pott TO do some trading. He took
mo with him a load of corn for sale.
fU31ng his purchases was a cook stove
- his wife. The price he had paid
~ the stove was $50. He considered
|Se price very reasonable, for the load
4 corn paid for it.
A few months ago another man, from
he same part of the county, needed a
,o9k stove. He went to the nearest
own and purchased one for $1S. He
.ockoned the price very cheap because
! would have cost him $50 twenty
ago, but he had to sell three loads
II corn to pay for his $19 stove.
Now viii our farmer friends f2ure
mt the problem, which was the
stove, the one that cost $50
years ago or the one that cost
rs SIX months ago? That is a prac5i-
al question in arithmetic and should

JUST ONE MORE R

About a m nth ago we announced
that owing to the pressure on us for
settlement of the L. L. Polk estate,
and the needs we have for cash with
which to meet obligations arising from
that source, that we would be compelled
after this issue to drop all delinQuents
on u list to day, Sept. 81, 1892.
We intended keeping that notice
standing until this issue, but bv some
unexplalnable oversight or accident it
has been left out since it's first insertion
and has only appeared one time. We
have received many responses to that,
but thinking it more than probable
that the notice vas not seen by many
of true friends who are always
ready to respond to any reasonable
call, but who have not done so in this
instance; we have decided to extend
the time until Oct. 18th. Remember
that gives you two weeks longer. If
you owe us anything on Oct. 18th you
need not blame us if you do not receive
the next issue of this paper. We must
settle up the accounts against the pa
per and against the estate, and we must
insist now that we have shown every
reasonable readiness to accommodate
you, and hold ourselves ready to con
CInue TO 90 so, ana we nope we may
be made to rejoice at our receipts dur
ing the next two weeks. Now it may
De that there are some among you who
cannot conveniently send the amount
you owe in cash. If so we will make
this proposition to you: Send US a club
Of five n year subscribers with S.
cash, and we will credit your subscrip-
ton one year.
That you may know exactly what
you will w this paper ON the 18th
day of October, 1892, you Will just run
your eye down the column of dates in
the table below, until you find the date
of or nearest to the date on your label,
and the amount you owe appears in
the other column opposite this date.
Now, dear friend, we do not desire to
drop your name. Ifyou owe more than
81 send 81 and we mark you up two
years. If you owe less than 81 send 81
and we credit you up one year. At
least send enough to III you beyond
the d FAD Iine-Oct. II, 1892.
See what you owe us and send IN at
