non official estimates Of the coming

words, 1.-The American people like to
be hunbugged.
This brings to mind the steel range
fellows, who visited this community
a year ago and thoroughly canvassed
the farmers, selling several stoves.
Those who purchased stoves at that
time have now an opportunity OF
paying the fiddler or dancing to the
music. A farmer within few miles
OF Sandwich and very well known
here bought one OF the stoves, or at
least it was left in his possession u
year ago. The price agreed upon
was $40. You can buy a larger and
better stove of any of our hardware
dealers for $44. A part OF the deal
was that the farmer was to be al
lowed $40 for his old stove, and also
he was to board the sharpers, who
gave him coupons that were to ap-
ply on the purchase price of thestove.
These people never consider deal
closed until your name IL put upon
paper. This farmer did SO, signing a
contract as he supposed, but which
now turns up In the shape of note
for $40 with interest. A few days
ago a man presented himself at the
farmers house and requested him to
take up the note, representing him
self to be the purchaser, and an inno-
cent one, OF the note. In the deal
made at the time OF the delivery OF
the stove $50 was the balance to be
paid, and out of the $50 several dol.
lars for board were also to be taken

the trade and refuses to accept any.

terest which he had bought. The
holder of the note threatens to bring
suit, and our farmer friend says he
will not pay 1t. What the outcome
will be remains to be seen. There IL
a moral to this deal which should
not be permitted to escape the mem.

FLEECING FARMERS.
Beware of the Song of the Peddler
In Spring Time.

For years and years the local news
papers have been telling of how peo-
pie have been fleeced and swindled by
buying goods and wares of strang-
ers. How sharpers have been able
to get money for an article shoddy
made and In no way as represented.
The warning to their readers and an
exposure OF these sharpers seems to
have had as much effect as bullet
from an air gun against a steel plate.
