a FORM OF a NEW SwINDLE.-
Here is another new swindle which
is being worked in some parts OF
this State. a stranger calls upon a
farmer who resides on a public
highway and contracts with him
for alleged privilege ofposting show
bills on his barn or out-buildings
convenient to the road. He pays
the farmer 50 in advance for the
privilege, and requires him to sign
a receipt for the same. The receipt
turns up in short time as a note
for $500, bearing the signature OF
the farmer. Watch out for him and
meet him with a shot gun.

A number OF persons who have
been over the country recently,
say they never saw a better fall
promise for a wheat crop than can
be seen on every farm throughout
the country at present. There was
a large acreage sown right in the
face of the low price for wheat,
which was good judgment ON the
part of farmers for everything
points toward higher prices next
year.

more genteel, and probably the

ways dissatisfied elements in a

trust all who receive these state

SHALL WE HAVE A SCHOOL Ii
BRARY2-Mr. 81. P. Skinner, now of
Pomeroy, has for years made a
special study ofliterature for young
people, at the same time writing
and speaking extensively on the
subject. Among other work he de-
livered a number of talks to the
school children of Cincinnati where
he received high praise from the
superintendent and his associates.
A library in this day of advance
ment is becoming a necessary ac-
complishment of every first class
school, and Point Pleasant should
not be behind in this regard. To
morrow evening Mr.. Skinner will
deliver lecture entitled "Books for
Boys and Girls" at Hooff's Opera
House, the proceeds to be used for
the neucles of a school library.
Prof. Kenny and his corps of teach
ers are taking deep interest in the
matter, and they should meet with
the encouragement of the public in
generally in the prosecution of this
worthy object.
