prefer from which the company ships.
You pay freight on the fertilizer, the

grade up to middliDg, you will have to
paw the difference between the price OF
middling and the grade you deliver.
You will also be required to guarantee
the weight of cotton SO delivered, or
have il weighed by a sworn weigher at
point of shipment. Of curse your
shipments of cotton must be made &C
cording to direction of the company.

selves of this opportunity will please

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

I desire to call the attention Of the
members of the Alliance who have
still, notes and unpaid accounts for fer
tilizer, 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 i~ncOnvenient 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 nov have
your crops on hand, and while these
products may be very low, you owe it
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 usferCilizer again thisspring,
and a payment to them now NEAR a
credit to you again in the spring. So
do not delay another day, but send the
money to them at once. This is inn
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-

HOW MILLIoNAIREs DO LIE.

Investigation discloses the fact that
none of the many Chicago millionaires
return over $50, 600 worth of property
for taxation. Geo. Pullman only pays
tax on $12 900; P D Armour, $15, 900;
George Palmer, $40, 600. Quite a mum
Der do not list over 50, 600 worth of prop
erty for taxation. Millionaires in New
York and elsewhere are about on par
with these. Numbers of them have
five hundred or a thousand times as
much as they return. 1t isn't any
wonder they object to an income tax
because it encourages perjury. But
their black souls are deep-dyed with
PERJURY now, and other black crimes
too umerou to mention.
