paper line. Mr.. Sellberg Is one OF our

pioneering. He aptly remarked that 1t

| coming to q convention these days than
when he first landed in Union county
some twenty-five or more years ago.
| At that time OK teams we're the favor
tie means of locomoti0n, and. q hard
seat without springs furqished the only
comfort for q resting board. Too FREE

| farmers in the county who can put on q
fine looking suit Of clothes, starched
shirt, and drive to the county seal with
q carriage having cushions for seats,
| and drawn by q team Of horses that

and Woodworking tillers Of the soil,
who, by economical management, have
been enabled to surround themselves
with comforts In their old age.
