Should be taken by everyone.
The Farmer Should Take it
Because it contains reliable Agricultural items, gleaned
carefully from the best journals in the land
r Ehsuld it
Because it tells how to raise chickens, how to make pickles,
how to destroy dies, how to raise children, and a great
many other things the housekeeper understands
better than the paper does.
YOUNG LADIES SHOULD TAKE IT
Because it is reliable in making their toilets. Its a
“bustling” paper any how.
The Merchant should Take it
Because it gives a price current of foreign and domestic
markets; tells how much wheat, corn, rye, oats and cot-
ton has been raised, and gives them valuable hints in re-
gard to their business, that they might never learn
otherwise.

: LUMBER!
The undersigned beg leave to inform
the citizens of this place and vicinity
tnat they intend opening a Lumber
Yard as soon as lumber can be brought
forward by rail. In the meantime
parties who purpose building, will tind
it for their interest to see Mr. Baldwin
at the Peers House, who is now pre-
pared to contract for the delivery of
Lumber as soon as transportation can
be bad. As we own mills in the pinery
and manufacture our own lumber.
We will not be Undersold.
