were burned before their statues.

the 10.year period from 1886 to 1895,
it was down to 6S.3 cents. The lowest

This morning q farmer. came to my store and offered 20 bushels of potatoes for sale. He was from Pomfret. I asked him the price and he said g a bushel, yet MT.

Flour that I am re- tailing for SIS barrel cost me $13.85, and I have to pay the freight. Lard at 32 cents a pound is high. but it is costing us 27. which doesn't leave us any extraordinary profit.
