We are informed that there is a
crew of men in this county this week
selling groceries to the farmers. This
is perhaps the same old fake and the
farmers will do well to have nothing
whatever to do with the fakirs. They
cannot and will not sell you groceries
cheaper that you can get them right
here at home and ten chances TO one
you will get beat in some way. Be-
ware of them and patronize home mer-
chants who you know will not rob
you.
Miss Susie Golf has returned from
Kansas City where she has been for

health and partly for instructions in
piano and pipe organ. All her friends

ed much improved in health while
she has had exceptional advantages
and has done a great deal of hard
work in a musical way, especially
with a view to fitting herself for
teaching, for which she is now we'll
prepared. Miss Gof7s talent and
application cannot fail to win her
success.
