The company has just issued a circu
lar setting fourth its purpoaes and its
facilitiis. It says: Before purchasing
your fertilizers for another season we
desire to call your attention to the
goods we will put upon the market, for
the crop of 1890, and trust that you
will give them a full trial, satisfiedl not,
only that the result obtained from this
our first year's production will fully
realize your expectation, but that
nucceedintg years will con tirmn them. As
thi. is our first season, we have ni
testimony to oiler, but have this to

With the close of the 01(1 year we
have completed a platnt capable of p ro

weather, we accomplish the work in
four months. Experts pr'onounce it

Allen, of Missinsipp , lhas toht mnore
stories since the opening of Uonikess
than Hilly Mayon, our story telIi ng in n 1
from the Third ihsinet 'if Itlinoie. One
of his best, stories wns ii ropped the other
night at Chamberlin's. ialf a dozca
congenial spiris were ,eated together at
a tal e, am one thi ig and an i her led
Allen to reel of a full dozen of stories.
Tue last one w'c about his Tupelo eon
stitueut, hlt Brown. illt is an old far
mier who ownus half the narshee around
Allen's native city. A sear ago he
bought a young hull fomt a lawyer who
is a shrewd fellow and knlown through
ttt Aille 's distrtct.+
'Brown wa4n't qiii to sure of his bar
gain," said Allen, "so avery timo the
I.w}er went that, way he hedged so
u ueh tht the hawyer grt.w extravagatta
in Its praise."'
'1 toil yiu, lrown,'' said he, us ne I
rode by the farmlluusn, ''that's the lineat
anialtl in this whole country. 1'd ride
any i tno two mtiles out of my way just t
to pios it in your im'uieaw. 1 sld it to
you fir $75, but I reckun it's worth "
'"low much is it worth, cafp'n'' sa:id
the farmer.
''Well, if I was se l|ng it today I
wouldn't let it go for a ce.ntt less than
$250. I's Wont I tlht, and I ccongrctu
hite 501u uplo ahavingK ine so neatly.''
lill Briowin felt pret ty gotl over thu
bull, and evety tinmc lie taw the lawyer
thny talked about it, the liawer alwavs
reptntg thait lie would inot, sill it for
less than $25U.
