Tho following from the Greenfield

been working the people Of Dado
county:
The old grocery order" fake has
been successfully rorkcd in Dade
county during the past two weeks for
the first time in about 10 years. Orders
were taken for some days by n smooth

OF course when the buyers came for
their goods Saturday they found ten

the atIabic salesman, and Of course the
additional ten per cent was paid, though
