Taneytown."
+. G. Beall has 4th of July cannon
that can he quickly and safely loaded
and shot to make loud or soft report AS
the shootist may choose. That is, it
can be shot to make the deaf hear, or
aimed at a sick mans window without
hitting him in the nerves. IL is on ex-
hibitiOn in his window. Better investi-
gate ut once, as somebody will buy it
before the 4th.
