WHERE WAS HE THEN9

Rev. Col. DR.. Kingsbury has at last
found a huge pension fraud Where
was he in 1882 When Cleveland had
served one term and was the candidate
for reelection in 1888, the Democratic
platform of that year b~oastingly said:
"While carefully guarding the prin-
ciples Of justice and equity, it (meaning
the then Democratic administration
has paid out more for pensions and
bounties to the soldiers and sailors of
this Republic than was ever paid before
during an equal period"
Where was the venerable doctor
then7 Did he support that platformG
If so did he not challenge the hitherto
champions of the pension iniquity to
get them better7 Did not that claim
not only forgive but justify the ex-
travagance of the Republican party
along this line, and encourage them in
i59 Yea. more. Did it not taunt the
Republican party with want of liber-
atty aid just dealing in pension dis
pensing2 And was it not swallowed
by every man who voted the national
ticket that year, especially
by the editors and speakers in the cam
Where was the Rev. DR.. Kings
bury then?

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

I desire to call the attention of the
members of the Alliance who have
still, notes and unpaid accounts for fer
t~ilizer, to the fact that the Durham
Fertilizer Company have been ex-
tremely lenient with them during the
financial depression, and have waited
on the Alliance people and have car
ried their notes and accounts In a time
when it was extremely inconvenient to
them, and caused them many hard
ships, but they did this with the pur
pose of protecting and helping the ALI
ance brethren when they sorely needed
this help Brethren, you now have
your crops on hand, and while these
products may be very low, you owe 1t
to yourselves, to your Alliance and to
the company, to pay at once all that Is
due for fertilizer. Let me beg you and
insist that you will at once send to the
company any sums that you may be
due them. They must have this money
to furnish us fertilizer again this spring,
and a payment to them now means a
credit to you again in the spring. So
do not delay another day, but send the
money to them at once. This is i'm
portant and must be attended to at
once.
We are going to furnish you the same
high grade goods that we have done
heretofore, and do all we can to accom-
modate you this year, but to get this
favor you must pay up what you owe
Fertilizers are ready for shipment
now for the spring trade, and you can
send in your order.

before killing. All poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding in the neck, and picked while
the body Is warm; and in no case
should poultry be scalded; wet-picked
poultry is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS 0 o as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove a portion
or the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin over the end and tie and trim
neatly. Draw the intestines, making
the mclsion rs small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, etc, in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry can be sold to a
limited extent when there is no other
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, or entrails, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
Packing.-Poultry should be entirely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat In, 1T will be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No. 1 stock Of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 2 stock in separate pack
oSO0: IL YOU uaV0d any O4u OulL turkeys,
put them in a separate package or with
No. 3 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight. and see that the boxes are
so full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be nc possibility of the
contents shifting about. Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
r inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured.

$4,000
In consideration of the great dissat-
~lsfaction and uncertainty of purpose of
the Democratic party, both State and
National, and in consideration that the
Democratic party has violated all the
pledges of its platform and seeing that
the leaders of the Democratic party
are not in sympathy with the people
in their distress and need; and know
ing the fact that the present admins
t~ration, both State and National, are
not in keeping with the Democratic
platform of 1892, (Which no Democrat
ear deny), 1 therefore feel no longer
bound by party ties, and in the future
I shall be independent in politics.
1 am still a Democrat of the Jeffer-
sonian type, and in the future 1 shall
ally my feeble efforts with the Peoples
party, hoping they may bring about
some means of relief for the people. 1
I'M honest in purpose and hope my
friends, both in city and country, will
see the light in which l sever my con
nection with the Demo cratic party 1
have loved so well. Trusting the new
party will prove a blessing to all,
l remain a true friend to all.

CHANGE.

DEAR BRETHREN The alliance Pro-
duce Exchange" is open for the hand
ling of farm products. We do not
purchase your products but will sell
for you to the best advantage possible.
Write us what you have to sell and
will let you know about what we can
get for it. Eggs are higher here than
in New York and we have been getting
better prices. Think we will be able
to handle more and more as our plans
for putting only fresh eggs on market
become known. Poultry is in great
demand and we think for the next
three months If not all the summer it
will bring remunerative prices. Can
furnish shipping coops and simply
charge rent or sell them to you if de-
sired. We can handle bacon, lard,
fish, wheat, flour, corn, meal, potatoes,
&c. Prices are lower on all products
than they have been for years. We
have sent notice to all of shippers
not to send any more eggs North for
the present as it does not pay. There
were more than 20, 900, 600 eggs sent
into New York last week. We will
try to handle all poultry and eggs
shipped here 20 your advantage. Do
not send eggs by express unless rates
are very low.

their mail out here to be deposited i'm the

now there are at least 30 of them. These
birds are a near relative of the native
rutfed grouse or partridge, but are of a
! lighter color and larger and have mar
row. sharp tails. They were imported
from the Northwest. Being hardy and
| prolific, 1t was believed by the members
of the league that they would do well
here, and, if let alone, would in few
years afford excellent sport. A law
/ protecting them for term of years
will be passed by the legislature. It is
