One Gay, when a tenant farmer had

THE proprietress gently replied that
even in the learned professions there
were losses as we'll as gains, and per-
haps he would have found professional
life as precarious as farming.
"Ah, my lady, but how can that
be?' replied the son of ST. Patrick. II

will pay dividends almost from the
outset.
This enterprise will encourage
other spectators. The advantages
here are unparalleled. The river is
almost navigable the year round,
while the Ohio River Railroad will
do its part toward encouraging
manufacturing inductries by al
ways allowing the very lowest rate
possible. We are situated in the
midst of the greatest oil and gas
producing belt the world has ever

great REQUESTS of a manufacturing
