A Jew Farmer.

The Independent added a new SUBJ
scriber to its list the past week who
is different from all the rest. He is
Jew. and he is farmer, and he is a
successful farmer. He lives over the
line in Fayette county. Some of his
Yankee" or native neighbors were
prejudiced against him, and they used
to ridicule him, and his frugal
methods, when be first settled in the
neighborhood, but our Hebrew friend
kept on in the even tenor of his way,
he was industrious and honest and so
are his children. He paid his debts
and minded his own business Now
he sometimes goes to a sale and if he
sees a good horse or COW that he
wants, he buys, and thoy never ask
him to get some one to sign his note
with him. Some of his neighbors
who used to ridicule him and his ways
still have to loot round for some one
TO sign with them when they buy
COW. 1t pays to be honest, industrious
and frugal, and it pays to lay up
little for rainy day. -Waverly Inde-

Still Another SWindIe.

Another swindle is being perpctrated
OH farmers in neighboring states. A
nice appearing man and woman drive
up to the farmers house and inquire
the way to the next town. Then a
general conversation is struck up and
the smooth strasger incidentally re-.
marks that he is travelling repre-
sentative of an eastern dry goods
house. He has samples, and while he
seldom shows them in the country, no
will our of courtesy to the farmer do
so. The samples are produced and a
Wholesale" price quoted. The lady
tells the good farmers wife all about
the latest styles. and what is "being
worn most" The goods are so cheap
and the price IS so cheap that in nine
cases out of ten the farmer is only too
eager to sign an order for bill of
goods to be shipped to him. When he
puts his name to the order the mis-
chief is done. He has signed note
for anything from $50 to $500. The
smooth man with dress goods who just
"happens" along is good subject for
the man behind the pillow to use his
boot on Preston Independent.

girl who hurried to the neighbors for
assistance. Mr.. Cattron and wife were
conveyed to the Entwistle home and
under treatment from physician who
was called both in time recovered from
the i'll effects of the gas. The trouble
is thought to have been occasioned by
Mr.. Cattron closing up the hard coal

coal the evening before. whidh caused
