Is undoubtedly the simplest engine made, has fewer parts and furnishes more power from the same weight of metal than any other motor on earth. Its manifold uses, its great simplicity, its economical maintenance and its uniform durability and reliability under all conditions demand for it the first place among the engines of the day. Will run anything from the smallest plant in existence where motive power is required to the largest factory. Its uses are co-existent with the demand for an engine-large or small--and of any horsepower or mag nitude required. It can be readily em- ployed anywhere. at all times; in all climes; in the country as we'll as in the city. Its sole motive power, as stated, is ordinary kerosene oil, readily obtain able anywhere.

posed bond issue for road making pur.

Others have doubted the possibility OF

satiiy such parties committee was ap-
pointed to wait on Judge Mason TO "a.

above reasons, the names OF the three

this, but, after further talk, expressed
Willingness 10 select the men irOm IA list

that the selection Of the men TO be named
to the Judge shall receive careful aud con
