1896 finds us in our new store
building better prepared than ever
to supply the trade with hardware,
farm implements, stoves, ranges,
tinware, oils, paints, etc, etc. The
greatest possible care has been taken
IN investigating and selectlag these
goods, not, however, to find a low
grade Of goods, but to get the very
best at the lowest possible price
Nearly ali our goods are bought
from manufacturers direct. While
we do not profess to do what others
in the same business cannot, yet we
do propose to give q man as much
value for his money as he can get
anywhere. First quality of goods
is generally sold at less profit than
the inferior, but the customer is
always best pleased with the good
Our wagons, plows, nails, wire,
harrows, sewer pipe, cultivators,
ETC., are shipped IN car loads from
factory so as to save trelghtS and
benefit the customer. We have
now on hand the best line of shovel
plows and cultivatorS we ever han
died. In mowers the new Cham
pion, also the new Ideal roller and
ball bearing Deering machine; the
latest improved Pennsylvania grain
drill, and three grades of hay rakes.
We can offer to the trade good steel
frame spring tooth harrows at
greatly reduced prices 1t will
afford us much pleasure to show
goods and quote prices to persons
in need of anything IN our line.
Manv persons are deceived by send
ing for goods they see advertised at
lower prices than good articles are
worth in the market. The tend
ency of the age is to cheaper goods
rather than increase durability,
hence the necessity of careful ex-
animation before purchasing,
Yours,

Let Us Treat March Fairlv.


Let us be fair with the month of
March, though it be not fair to us.
Some of our esteemed contempora-
ries are disseminating the misinfor-
nation that spring begins on the 1st
Of March, and are making unkind
remarks about the qualify of the
spring weather which March is issu-
ing. Some of these purveyors of in
accuracies even go so far as to say
it is spring by the almanac. This
is an additional unkindness, for it
does the almanac, as we'll as March
an injustice. We do not like to see
the almanac or the month of March
misrepresented in that fashion. No
almanac which prides itself on its
accurancy says that spring begins
coincidenly with the opening of the
third month of the year. and this
leads us to believe that the people
who lay upon the almanac the re-
sp ponsibility of announcing March
1st as the first day of spring, do so
without consulting that authority.
If they had taken the trouble to as
tertain exactly what the almanac
did say, they would find that spring
begins officially on the 10th of March
in this year of grace, 1896. Let us
be fair TO March, brethren, and not
expect vernal weather until the yer.
nal equinox.

One Wav to Improve Roads.

Select the worst piece of road over
which the people of your neighbor-
hood frequently travel, says al ex-
change, and see how many of your
neighbors will join in covering it
with gravel or broken stone. Or, if
there IS no good road material to be
had, see who will join in ditching
the road so that it may dry quickly.
At this season some farmers teams
are often idle, and in many neigh
borhoods the farmers can easily be
induced to turn out for a few days
of volunteer work, making short
piece of good road at a point over
which they all travel. And if this
is kept up for few years an effec-
tive object lesson as to the value of
good roads will be furnished, while
the very act of doing volunteer work
will arouse enthusiasm on the sub
iect.
