We have received from Mr.. Chas.
Fl. Shaffer some fine specimens of
pens for trial, and there are no bet
ter. They are what is known as

does these gentlemen will always see
to it that our citizens are amply pro-
tected from wrong doors.

sunset, and above all hearts loving
and tender. Three cheers and tiger

sumed, but that is nothing unusual !;
he does well everything he under
takes Farmers ADVOCATE.
