SwindierS.

Last Wednesdays Elkton Appeal pub
fishes the following story:
This is the latest swindle practlced OH
farmers: Stopping at farm house that
is insured, the swindlers represent that
they are special agents around inspecting
risks, and so get the names of the COM
pany who have insured the house. Later
they return with type written paper to
the effect that the company has failed and
that they are empowered with authority
to transfer the policy to another. The
farmer is prevailed upon to sign what he
supposessto be a transfer, but which
proves to be promissory note for sum
ranging from $40 to 500. The swindlers
are reaping a rich harvest and rarely fail
to work the game.
Moral:-Don't transact business with
strangers.

The Dynamo on the Octoraro.

A preliminary movement has
been made towards establishing an

using the water power of Mr.. Jos.
Richards at Porter's Bridge. This
is the best water power on the
