The banker, the business man, and
the farmer of the South, are going to
join hands some of these days, that
we may eat bread from our own fields

Lessen the number of dust-collcct-

Remove dirt frequently and syste-

makes the need of heavy cleaning less

by scattering it., to settle again else

Sharkey, who was all eagerness to
