proposes to hereafter devote
most of his time to making
repairs. He will answer
calls within 80 miles of Med

heating or cooking, and he
will call at your place. In

your stove observe closely
the following points:
Give name and state
whether cook, range or heat
er.
Give name of manufacture
er and where located.
State date of patent.
Give the number of cast
on stove. Do not order No.

the fact that we still retain our posi-

mixed Bro. Kies. but We think lie can

been at the INDEX helm only few
weeks, but at that of the Review since

IT is refreshing to see some good
sense coming from an eastern newspa-
per. The Springfield Mass Republ-
can says this talk about strange race
of people living west of the Mississippi
is foolishness, and that If the papers
which are loudest now in that kind of
talk had published less about Simp-
sons socks and PETERS whiskers, and
more about true existing conditions, 1t
would have showed more sense.
