respect for meek-eyed gentle bossy, we
never suspected for a moment that she
would branch out into the junk-shop
business. And she full-booded, too!

Mr.. Henry Lauer, who lost the sight

show now being held in that city. Elk
hibits are also being made by florists
from all sections of the country, but the
Weber product, we predict, will be sue
cessfui in carrying off handsome prizes,
as has been the rule for many years
past when the flowers were placed in
competition with those grown in other
sections of the country.
Under the new pure food law which
was passed. by Congress and which went
into effect recently, the meat shippers
Of this section of the country are pro-
hibited from shipping dressed beef,
veal and lambs to Homecoming and other
points along Georges Creek where a
lucrative market for their goods had
been created. The prices for meats in
that section are in many cases twenty
five per cent. higher than in Oakland,
and the cutting off of the Creek towns
from receiving meats from here will
materially affect the prices paid farm
ers and stockmen for their products,
