Have You Bought a Farm ?

Ifyou haven't, here is one that should interest
you. 1t is good 100, with very fair improve
ments and it can be bought for $45 per acre
Now when say good farm don't mean a
fair farm. mean such farm very best
farms are; our $50 and 500 farms would call a
good one. That's the sort this one is, and it
ought to bring just $40 per acre more than the
price asked. Look after it if you want it, as
now. also have e acre ere very we'll 1t improS-
cd farm at $40. which looks cheap to ME. OF
course have lots of other farms but it costs
too much to tell you about them IN the Courier,
and only speak of what looks the cheapest
to me. You will have to call at our Office to
learn the rest

DEATH OF A NAVAL HERO
COMMANDER sHEARMAN, WHO WON
RENOWN IN SAMOA.
Was the Last Man to Leave the Nipsic
During the Storm That De-
stroyed Three Warships.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-Acting Secre-
tary Hackett of the Navy Department was
informed tonight of the death this after
noon at the Chelsea Naval Hospital, Mass,
of Lieutenant Commander John A. Shear
man. Commander Sherman entered the
naval service June Is, 1871, having been
appointed from New York, in which State
he was born.
Probably the most distinguishing event
of Shearman's career in the navy was his
heroic conduct during the Samoan hurri-
cane on March Is. 1889. which resulted in
the wrecking of three American men-of-
war, the Trenton, Vandalia and Nipsic,
and three German men-of-war. the Olga
Adler and Eber. and the loss of 146 lives.
At the time of the disaster Sherman was a
lieutenant and the senior watch of1cer or
the Nipsic, commander ID. w. Mullen. AT
the height of the storm the Nipsic was
beached in front of the American consulate
at Apia and was in great danger OF being
pounded to pieces by the great waves tina
were breaking over her. With the assist
ance of the natives a hawser was made
fast between the forecastle of the Nipsic
and a tree on shore and by means of
this hawser, with the further
assistance of the natives, nearly all the Of
ficers and crew of the vessel were saved.
Sherman was the last man to leave the
Nipsic. Captain Mullen insisted upon be-
ing the last, but as Mullen could not swim
Sherman insisted upon placing his COM
mander in a ships cask and helping him
down the dangerous passage in this way.
When he had accomplished this Sherman
climbed down the rope by his hands. Dur
ing the remainder of the day Sherman
did more than any other officer ashore
to rescue the drowning men. who were
washed overheard from the sunken Van
dalia, giving directions to American sailors
and natives. who were doing everything
possible to save the men In the water.
Rear Admiral Kimberley, in his official
report of the disaster. specially M
ed Shearman's gallant conduct during the
storm.
