In Harrison county q lot of farmers
put their signatures to what purported
to be plats of their farms, 'just to veri-
fly the atlas of the county," and now
they are confronted with contracts
signed by Themselves to purchase the
atlas at So q copy. The farmers have
decided to fight the case in court, and

bald fakes. Sioux City Tribune.

Nashua Wooden Mill, and SONS, are
about the busiest people in town turn

The extra quality of the woolens turned
out by Mr.. Bowen is creating such de.
mand for his goods that 1t is impossible
for them to keep up with the orders re-
ceiyed. Nashua Reporter.
The time has come when man must
take his spade and rake and hoe, and
dress himself in overalls and in the gar
den go, and dig and delve and rake and
fuss and fashion onion beds, and rip his
clothing all to rags, his temper all to
shreds. And when he has his labor
done and evening prayers are said, the
COWS come in from here and there and
seek that onion bed, and there they dance
the highland fling and trample round
and round, for cows are very partial to
cultivated ground. And chickens come
in frantic haste and scratch to beat the
band, and some ones hogs come here to
root and horses are on hand, and SO the
poor, heart-broken wretch who nearly
broke his back working on that onion
patch becomes maniac.-N ashus Re-

Cloth peddlers claiming tobe adverr
Using for the Columbia store, of Chica-
go, are at work among the farmers of
this county. Their graft is to sell the
farmer cloth for business suit, Sunday
suit, an overcost, and cloth for tailor
made gown tor his wife at cost of
about $50. AS an incentive to buy these
gouds, which are scarcely worth 800,
twenty yards of calico is furnished at
cent yard, and pair of horse blan-
kets, represented to be worth Sl5, is
sold for 81. 1t is the same old scheme
with only slight variation that has
been worked at intervals before, and In
this case, as In the previous ones, 1t is
quite safe to say that the farmer who is
induced to part with his money for the
goods offered will be quite thoroughly
con6denced by these oily-tongued
sharpers Hamilton Globe.
