Complaints multiply about

is to get q written order from the
farmer or his wife, or both, while
giving them the impression that
the goods are put on trial. In
due time the "Order" turns up in
the neighbOring bank as note
due and payable. If you want

are to quit using it and store il
until called for. If the agent
wants you to sign an order and
does a great deal of talking to
divert you from reading it, take
it into another room, shut the
door, and then study it carefully
until it is perfectly clear, tell the
agent you will hold the paper
over night to decide upon it, and
if he then presses vou, refuse TO
have anything 10 do with him.
In other words never sign a doc
ument unless you have read it
and understand just what it
means: Only the carlesS or
the ignorant permit themselves TO

There is something very
peculiarly strange about A. U,
Walkers buggy horse. He is a
strange beast and no more so
than Arch himself, from the fact
that it takes a trip to the river to
give him an appetite for Sulphur
Water. This horse has some
experience in this worlds ways
and knows that when his first
trip is made it is a leisure gait to
the springs. The jolly old fellow
loves the soft accents and Cherry
laughs, and when per chance he
peers into his masters sunlit
countenance, he neighs with rap.
turous joy. The coarsest beast
can be trained and the most ex-
IRENE tempered, be made Great.

For building new college, the

III. II. Williams who owns almost

says if this place does not suit

Savannah has but few men that

college, but the poorest man in
the town will do all that he can,
which is liberal in anyone. A
school building is a common

First Bet Shows Defender a Favorlte.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-There is so little betting on the race between the Valkyric and tho defender of the cup whoever she may be, that transaction, small as it was in financial amount, which took place in the Erie basin is worth speaking about. A well dressed man who had been seen to take many close observations of tho for eigner's hull arose from his scat on ono of the top steps that lead down to the bot tom of the dock pit and called out:
 Gentlemen, I will bet S100 that De- fender beats this boat. I've looked 'em both over and I think l know a thing or two about the business. If anybody knows moro nor do he can have my money"
 When the gcntleman-he was evidently man of about 50 years-had said that another well dressed individual, who was plainly an Englishman, pressed his way through 4hc crowd and said:

Sleeve Stinening.

The full portions of the sleeves of silk or sheer wool gowns are variously stiff ened by various modistes, some using very light tarlatan or thin crinoline that has little dressing in it. Others again use paper muslin, thinking that while it does not stiffiy distend the sleeve puff it keeps its body, and thus holds the puff much longer in position than when other Innings are used. Sleeves on ex- pensive imported gowns are lined with the thinnest of taffeta silk, usually white, with a finger length of doubled .bias tarlatan or crinoline gathered on with the sleeve between the outside 1na- ssrial and the tAffeth NninM
