Since | am to some extent responsible
for the present agitation for currency
reform, I feel it the more as a duty to
warn against anything in the way of
a credit currency, which may bring evils,

forestalled If wise and unselfish counsel
prevails in the final shaping of the plans,

8. A. MORGAN HAS A NEW CIGAR.
Present Wadsworth Bros Chico
Which Sells Like Wild Fire.

W!ftch sells Like WHO FIRE.
B. A. Morgan recently introduced a
new brand OF cigars-Wadsworth
Bros Chico. In size and quality they
are the style Of ten cent cigh, but
retail at five cents straight.
Mr.. Morgan's aim is to give the
smokers of Marshalltown the best
goods possible, and he claims that in
pushing and recommending the Chicos
he has done good thing for people
who like a good cigar at a reasonable
price.
The Chicos are made from long
clear Havana filler, and burn with a
solid ash. In flavor and fragrance
they cannot be told from cigars that
retail at ten and fifteen cents. The
fact that they are today the favorite
smoke of the most fastidious trade,
people who heretofore smoked nothing
but ten and fifteen cent cigars shows
that this is true. Prove it for yourself,
however, by trying Chico Put down
a. dime at B. A. Morgan's cigar coun-
ter and see If the two cigars you get
are not better than any cigar. you ever
smoked before for twice the money.
