Green Goods from Town.

But whilst it may be that am right
toierable green myself, in my day and
generation / have seen plenty of green
goods that come fresh from town.
A stranger come through the settle
ment last year hailin from Saint Louis
and put up for few days ct our house.
He was doctorin on peoples eyes aid
peddlin specks. He never had seen any
cotton CROWN till he come down IN
this country, and it was plum show
to him. One day he went and pulled
a whole passie Of green balls and put
EN- in water to make EN- open, when
the blamdest biggest and biankest IDIOT
in this country would know better than
that. He wanted to see them bloom
and "merture," as he put it, and in less
than three days the last one of EN- had
merrotted. And then I told him II hc
would pull few more und hang Elm
tip in dry place they would soon bust
open.
There was town girl that come down
here last summer and took board with
us for few weeks. She was rale smart
in books, and she was as pritty as
red shoes and striped stockins and blue
garters, Naturally of course l could

They Went to Church in Town.

Oncst upon time me and mother got
rich and reckless, as it were, and went
up to the state fair to see the marvel
some sights we had read about, which
didn't come TO pass. Then little Steve
Ccwlin-which he is now runnin of
big bank in town, but was fetched up
plain and honest as other boys in the
Rocky Creek settlement-nothin would
do Steve and his folks but that inc and
mother must go and stay with them
as long as we could. So we took out
and put up and tarried and remained
over with them a right good -yhet.
Steve lowed it was worth four bits
day to hear me laugh and talk and see
me eat, and he wanted us to hang up
our buds and stay till way next spring.

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW
ERS.
Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in small but profit
able way, n market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third OF
a century they lSetld be the leaders
in the seed growing and seed-ssllifg
industry of America. The secret OF
this phenomenal success was quality,
liberality, push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the Superior merit of Salzer's northern
grown seeds; to their UNUSUAL life and
vigor and to their absolute surety Of
growth, iii conjunction with their
great producing qualities, and this
coupled with the great liberality OF the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
to sacii order and push back Of all,
has placed the firm in the van and en-
titles them to the proud distinction
If Americas greatest seed growers!
fhe production of rare vegetable sorts
md new farm seeds has long been a
great speciality with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
Of acres of land. Their great eight
hundred acre rial farm in South Da
keta was visited by thousands inter-
esied In higher farming. and all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
stats To any wishing to see the farm.
The salzers pay great attehtion to the
new grasses, clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
The largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
A strong point of the John A. Salze'
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything m the seed line on hand,
SO that a customer ordering Of then,
is always sure OF. getting what he or

HANNA sNUBs THE FAIRS

It is announced from the Chicago Re-
publican headquarters that General
Manager Hanna has forbidden the cam
paign committee to furnish any speak
ers for agricultural fairs.State and coun-
ty fairs during the fall season are al
ways numerous, and they bring together
large numbers of farmers and other in
dustrial classes who are generally sup
posed to feel more or less interest in poll
tics as we'll as pumpkins, in political
economy as well as patent engines. in
finance as well as tanning mills, in - cd
government as well as graded live stock.
AS a rule, too, agriculturists and manu-
facturers who attend these fairs enjoy
hearing political speeches by men ca
pable of representing the different party
platforms and creditably discussing the
issues involved.
But it seems that Boss Hanna does not
deem such gatherings of honest toilers
worthy of being addressed by any of the
numerous goldbug protection orators
who in a double sense are lying around
headquarters begging for opportunities
to enter the field and tell farmers and
mechanics how to vote themselves up
into the thirty-third degree of prosper
ity according to the teachings of McKin-.
lcyism. Boss Hanna, though having mil
liens of campaign money at his COM
mand, is unwilling to expend dollar of
it where he cannot feel sure it will bring
satisfactory returns He is reported as
saying, in effect, that the sending of
able speakers to fairs would result in
swelling gate receipts for the managers
without producing satisfactory divi.
dends on his very large investment in
William Mckinley. Business is bust
ness, and the ten million dollars provid-
ed as campaign fund must all be used
judiciously. The possibility that q Re
publican orator who expounded' the gos-
pei of plutocracy on fair grounds might
waste much grandiloquencs and make
