eLeGore's combination of lime is no
building or magnesia lime. It is manu-
factured exclusively for the growth ofcrops
and the general improvement of soils. By
experimenting, farmers will find it to have
double the power of other lines. Now is the

would crafty the vanity less by less public
lotice of sIlch door Wretches the influence
would be for the better. Gordy was hanged

Irawn by curiosity but no disorder.
