BRADFORD, VT, Aug. 23rd, 1897.
The American Harrow Company of
Detroit, Mich, have some men canvass
ing the county, exhibiting the new
American Harrow and Seeder, and
will call on every farmer. The nipple
ments are being sold direct to the
farmers by the Company. They have
adopted this plan in preference toes
tablishing local agencies, from the
fact that they get many more of their
machines in the hands of the farmers
than they would through local agencies.
We see in last weeks issue of this pa
per that Mr.. H. p. Warren has adver-
tised himself as local agent in his vicin-
ity, which is not the case. l am the
general agent and have never had the
pleasure of meeting Mr.. H. P. Warren,

agency by Mr.. j. X. Flanders of whom

lied to do anything of the kind, but
simply to sell direct to the farmers.
My present headquarters are at Wells
River, where we expect to sell at least
six carloads of our machines. Have
closed out nine car loads of siXty-five
machines each at LacOnia and Leba-
non this spring. The latter part of
1896, we closed out twelve carloads at
Concord, Newport and Windsor and
can give any farmer the names of any
of farmers who have used the
machines thoroughly in sowing all
kinds of grain and cultivated their
corn and potatoes, etc, and done all
their narrowing with it, and they will
recommend it to their neighbors as
strong as my statesmen do.

ENGLISH IN CHICAGO.
Discussion on Grammar Between a News
paper and a Citizen.

Discussion on Grammar Between a News
paper and a Citizen.
The Chicago Inter Ocean becomes
both sarcastic and indignant when any
one questions the purity of its diction.
Soywhen a reader named Campbell VEN
tured to. eriticise expressions used by its
society editor the captious one found
that he had caught Tartar. This is the
way The Inter Ocean puts it:
Inclosed with the following letter,
received few days ago, were two clip
pings from the society columns of The
Inter Ocean:
Here are three barbarisms that caught my
eye in this mornings issue of your paper
There is no such word as ''gowned'-it is
NEARLY a Cockney vulgarism that had its
origin In London England-'Swellest is Of
the same sort-and same origin-No American
having any regard for purity Of language can
use such slang-As ell these words appear in
SO called "society items take it your Society
editor is male or female dude and needs
lesson in language-The harm done by the use
of such words in your paper is very great as
thousands of children read it and absorb its
words-Do stop this Coclzney vulgarity-
JAMES CAMPBELL.
There is no doubt you mean well,
Jim, but term in night school would
be beneficial even to you before you be-
gin to give lessons in English. To begin
with, you would be taught there that
our grandfather, Lindley Murray, al
ways told US to use periods. You ought
to have known Lindley, Jim. He was
distinguished grammarian, you
know, or perhaps you don't know.
And then, Jim, there was Tennyson.
He said of a heroine in one of his poems
that she was "gOwned in pure white"
So you see Lord Tennyson found the
word "gowned' to be useful long be-
fore you learned to walk steady on your
hind feet or to eat with your front
hoofs. Webster says "gowned'' means
"dressed in gown; clad. "
You say that these barbarians caught
your eye, and you fail to mention
which eye they caught How is the
other eye?
You are right when you say that our
society editor is either male or fe-
male. Do you belong to one of these
sexes? We suspect not When you write
again, spell merely" as it should be. !
The way you spelled it is like spelling
your name camel" instead of Camp
bell F" See that hump?
We don't like to offend your sensitive
ear, or the other one either, Jim. Buy
Webster's Dictionary and fourth read
er. Start right, and your sensitive ear
may outgrow its affection.
