HIS REASONS WERE HOOD.
John Featherstone was arrested for stealing
a horse and was placed under bonds to
appbar before the circuit court. Five months
later his trial took place. It was observed
that Judge White, before whom the case was
hea^Vshowed signs of extreme nervousness.
He twisted in his chair, chewed tobacco with
unwonted vigor and snapped at the lawyers.
At first this was attributed to his dislike of
the prisoner, for the judge had injudiciously
said on the street that the fellow ought to be
sent to the penitential*)', but this theory was
upset when, in delivering his charge to the
jury, the judge advocated a verdict of not
guilty.
"Your honor," said the prosecuting attorney,
"will you pardon me if I ask you a few
questions ?"
"Certainly, sir."
"Well. I'd like to know the reason of your
change of opinion with regard to the defendant.
About a month ago I heard you say
that he was a fit, and you hoped, a successful
candidate for the penitentiary, but now
you urge the jury tt^ acquit him."
"Yes, sir," said the judge.
"You acknowledge, then, that at one time
you did want him sent to prison ?"
"I do." v
"And will also acknowledge that you now
want him cleared ?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, that is what I don't understand.
Will you please explain ?"
"I will. When the fellow was first arrested,
I bad no interest in him, other than an
adverse interest, but now I am greatly concerned
in his welfare. The truth is, he married
my daughter night before last."
"Well, then, why didn't you petition for
some other judge to try the case ?"
"Because I was afraid some other judge
might send the rascal to the penitentiary.
Do you suppose that I want a convict sonin-law
? Do you suppose I want to support
his wife while he is working for the State?
Do you take me for a fool ? Mr. Sheriff, turn
that fellow loose."
A Thief of Time.?A rather striking case
has just been brought before a Vicksburg
justice of the peace. A man named Rathbone
sued one Jackson for time.
"Well," said the justice, when the case
was called, "you have brought an action
here for time, but you do not specify. Did
you give this man Jackson so much of your
time and has he refused to pay for it ?"
"Your honor, this man has had my time
and does refuse to pay me. I will explain.
I live on the floor just above him, and some
time ago bought a fine clock on the installment
plan. The other day the fellow came
around to collect an installment, and it occured
to me that as Jackson could hear the
clock strike, he ought to help me pay for it.
I looked into the matter and found that he
had no clock, and I also learned that his
hours were regulated by my time-piece.
Then I told him that he owed me for time
and explained to him, but he refused to entertain
my claim."
"Mr. Jackson," said the judge, "have you
no time-piece of your own ?"
"I have not, your honor."
|>*And have you been telling the time of
day f>y listening to the striking of Mr. Rathbone's
clock ?"
"Well, yes, but I don't think that it was
wearing on the clock. I thought that while
the clock was striking for him it could just
as well strike for me, especially as one set
trfnVooVnnlil rln fnr hnih f?ro 1 lifts "
V* OIIIMW nvu?u ?V ?w? W??
"But had you intended to get a clock before
Mr. Rathbone bought his?" the justice
asked.
"Well, yes."
The justice reflected for a moment and then
said: "Your delay in not buying a clock makes
you the victim of this action, for the law
plainly says, as every school boy ought to
knchr; 'Procrastination is the thief of time.'
You have, therefore, stolen this man's time
and will have to pay for it or suffer more
serious consequences. I assess the damages
at ten dollars."
He Wasn't Missed.?A citizen who
stands pretty well in his own estimation,
and, for that matter, in the estimation of
the public also, went abroad for a period of
years. When he returned to Detroit the
first man he met was an old friend, who
was about to pass him with a cool bow.
"What's the matter?" asked the returned
traveler. "Ain't you going to speak to a
fellow after such an absence ?"
"Absence?" Been out of town?"
"Out of to^n. Why, man alive, I've been
two years in Europe."
"No ? Can't be possible. Why I never
missed you;" said his friend.
The other turned away in anger and button-holed
an old chum, to whom he said:
"Well, I've got back."
"Been over to N' York ?" asked the chum.
"Thunder, man! I've been to the Old
World!" exclaimed the disgruntled voyager.
"You-don't-say-so?" was the amazed retort
of the solemn looking chum.
The next acquaintance remarked as he
stopped a moment: "I haven't seen you for
a week or two. Had hay fever ?"
That broke the combination. The returned
traveler got on his dignity and declined
to notice any more of his townsmen
till they sent a brass band round to serenade
him, and he learned that it was a put-up job
to take him down a little. It is so hard to
persuade the average mortal that he will not
be missed.?Detroit Free Press.
Was Sorry.?Two Illinois fanners, meeting
in the road, began to discuss the terrible
nf +Vin nniintn'
WUUIV1VU V* VMV VVUMi.j .
"I'll tell you what it is, Bill, these monopolists
have about got us surrounded, and unless
we do some mighty tall hustling they are
going to down us completely. And these
trusts! Why, there ought to be a law passed
against them.''
"I'm with you, Tom, and when I voted for
Cadison it was with the understanding that
he should do all in his power against these
infernal trusts. It is a shame for a lot of
men to get together and raise the price of
the necessaries of life."
"Yes," said Bill, "and we are goin' to
knock out that sort of thing, you know. By
the way, we have just formed a milk combine
that's goin' to make things hum. We
have pledged ourselves not to sell milk under
a certain price, and now, under the rules of
our trust, the retailers can't sell for less than
seven cents a quart."
"Bill," Tom remarked, after a few moment's
reflection, "I'm mighty sorry you've
got up that milk trust."
"Why so?"
"Because I've sold all my cows."
As Freight.?Those were bustling days
on the Western rivers, fifty years, ago when
emigrants from the East flocked to the prairies
of the West. Some of the emigrants,
being poor, paid in part for their passage by
helping to "wood the boat," that is, by carry
i i iL. i i_ .i it- i .i:
ing woou uowu ine uuiik. ui me miming,
and throwing it on the boat. A writer in j
The Century tells of an impecunious Irishman,
who did not want to pay full fare nor;
to carry wood.
He boarded a Western steamer at a land-!
ing and asked the fare to St. Louis. Being
told, he then asked:
"What do you charge for one hundred and
fifty pounds of freight ?"
Upon learning the price, a small amount, |
he said, "I'll go as freight."
- ''All right," replied the captain ; "put him
down in the hold, and lay some flour barrels ;
on him so that he won't roll about if we have
heavy weather."
Out of the Common.?A man who had j
just returned from the far West to his home
in Kentucky, met Judge Fillers in the street.
"Ah, judge," said the returned traveler,
"I saw your son out in Dakota."
"He was drunk, I suppose?"
"No, for he has stopped drinking."
"I don't wish to call your character for
veracity into question," said the judge, "but
I don't believe it."
"It is an actual fact, judge; and, moreover,
his abstinence is not temporary. He
will never drink again. The truth is, your,
son is dead."
"Ah," said the judge, meditatively, "I
knew that something out of the common
must have caused his reformation."
The Prodigal Son.?The teacher of a
Sunday-school class of colored children expounded
to them the parable of the prodigal
son. She described in as graphic a manner
as she could, the young man eating husks
while the swine fed on the corn. In the
midst of her description one attentive l>oy
held up his hand and said : "Missus, I think
. that white boy was a fool." "Why do you
think so ?" "Case if I had been him I would
'a' stole one o' dem hogs an' had a good dinner."

No Pensions for Deserters.?An Atlanta
dispatch of last Wednesday says: The
frauds upon the pension list of the State of
Georgia have become so pronounced that
strict scrutiny has lately been employed to
prevent it. Georgia was one of the first
States in the South to make an appropriation
for the beuefit of wounded and maimed exConfederates.
The benefit was iu the shape
of artificial arms, legs, eyes, etc., renewable at
stated periods. As a matter of couvenience
to these jfensioners, they were permitted to
take the mouey in commutation.
A few days ago the name of an alleged veteran
in Dooly county was stricken off because
it had beeu ascertained that his arm
had been lost in a sugar mill instead of in
battle. Yesterday the ordinary of Gilmer
county was in Atlanta, and brought with
him a number of pension claims for people
living in his county. Capt. Harrison had
been advised that there was doubt concerning
several pensions that were paid in Gilmer
county last year, and when the claims were
presented for examination, he secured a copy
of the roster of the 65th Georgia regiment, iu
which most of the applicants enlisted.
The first name called was that of W. A.
Knell, Company H. He claimed to have
1/^<V <*OTYk K\r o rrnTiolint. \rniinH
! and congratulated himself that lie had cheat|
ed the buyer in good shape. The grain deal|
er called him, and after figuring up the load
| paid him in full. As the farmer buttoned up
I his coat to go out, the buyer kindly asked
him to sit and smoke a cigar and then talk
over the crops, the price of hogs, until the
farmer squirmed in his chair with uneasiness
about his chores at home. At last he could
stand it 110 longer, and said he must go.
The dealer quietly remarked that that was
not to be thought of; that lie had bought
him at full weight, and paid him his own
price, and thought he wouldn't part with his
property. The farmer saw that he had overreached
himself. He acknowledged the
swindle and compromised the matter. Now
when he markets grain he doesn't weigh liim!
self with the load.?Ex.
He Did Not Forget It.?A wife recently
gave her husband a sealed letter, begging
him not to open it till he got to his place of
business. When he did so, lie read:
"I am forced to tell you something that I
know will trouble you, but it is my duty to
do so. I am determined you shall know, let
the result be what it may. I have known
for a week that it was corning, but kept it to
myself until to-day, when it has reached a
crisis, and I cannot keep it any longer. You
must not censure me too harshly, for you
must reap the results as well as myself. I
do hope it won't crush you."
By this time the cold perspiration stood
011 his forehead with the fear of some terrible
unknown calamity. He turned the page,
his hair slowly rising, and read :
' The coal is all used up! Please call and
ask for some to be sent this afternoon. I
thought by this method you would not forget
it." He didn't.
A Criuors Dream.?A laborer at the
Dundee harbor lately told his wife, 011 awakening,
a curious dream lie had during the
night. He dreamed that he saw coming toward
him, in order, four rats. The first one
was fat, and followed by two lean rats, the
rear rat being blind. The dreamer was
greatly perplexed as to what evil might follow,
as it had been understood that to dream
of rats denoted coming calamity. He ap

poor woman, could not help him. His son',
a sharp lad, who heard his father tell the
story, volunteered to he the interpreter.
"The fat rat," he said, "is the man who keeps
the public house, that ye gang till sae often,
and the twa lean tines arc me and my mither,
and the blind one is yourself, father."?

at Cumberland Gap. "Deserted in the face
of the enemy." That was the record, which
disposed of his claim. W. T. C. Sallian was
next. He was in Company A. The record
was "Deserted." Then came B. G. Charles,
"Deserted." T. F. Nelson, "Deserted." L. D.
Rodgers, "Deserted;" all of Gilmer county,
Company A.
On the back of each claim is now written:
"It is not the policy of the S late to pension
deserters. I think I'd better stop here for
one day," remarked Capt. Harrison, as the
fifth application was tossed aside. "That
roster of Confederate troops has saved the
State $250 to-day."' All the men had drawn
pensions last year.
Tackling Aleck Stephens.?General
Longstreet tells the following good story:
"On one occasion certain of the Confederate
leaders were discussing the matter of putting
the negroes into the array. I was
against the policy, but those above me sent
me over to Aleck Stephens, with the instructions
to try to convert him to the policy
of putting the negroes iu. I rode over from
camp to where Mr. Stephens was, and after
a short conversation brought up the subject
11 was to speak to him on. No sooner had
I done so than he hopped up and made me
a speech of over an hour's length. When
he concluded and sat down we talked of other
matters for a while, and then I casually
mentioned the subject again. Up jumped
little Aleck and made another speech of an
hour or so's length. I, a lone auditor, sat in
thought. He finished, sat down, and we
had a short conversation on some other
topic. A third time I ventured to mention
S the negroes, and up hopped the great commoner
and made me another speech. When
he sat down I stole a glance at my watch.
It was 2 o'clock in the morning. I bade Mr.
Stephens good night and rode back to camp.
I reported that I was perfectly willing to go on
with the war, but if anybody wanted Aleck
Stephens argued into anything, they'd have
to send some one else?not me."?Atlanta
Constitution.
The Demoralization or Debt.?Debt!
There is no worse demoralizer of character.
The sad records of defaulting and dishonest
failure which we meet with in the daily press,
are often, indeed most frequently, the result
of the demoralization of debt, and consequent
desperate efforts at extrication. The
financial props have given away. The little
debt, which at first was as small as a grain
of mustard seed, like the rolling snow ball,
has gathered weight and multiplied itself a
thousand fold. And still it grows, and like
the fabulous hydra which Hercules was sent
to kill, you no sooner strike off one head
than two shoot up in its place. The struggle
is severe, but in the end decisive ; either
confession is made of a hopeless bankruptcy
which might and should have been avoided,
or integrity is sacrificed to the temptation of
the moment. Debt ruins as many households,
and destroys as many fine characters
as rum; it is the devil's mortgage on the
soul, and he is always ready to foreclose.
Pay all your bills. Look every man in the
face, conscious that you owe the world no
more than it owes you. Be indebted for
nothing but love, and, even that, be sure you
pay iu kind, and that your payments are
frequent.?Talmage.
Farming the Best Business.?Farming
always was, is, and always will be the best
business under the sun, when the right man,
under favorable circumstances, embarks in it.
It is not a business in which one can become
"suddenly and violently stricken" with superabundant
wealth, but it is one in which
liberty in its fullest sense, and plenty in its
fullest amplitude, may be fully realized and
enjoyed. If there were no briefless lawyers,
no seedy doctors, no poverty ladened mechanics
and laborers, then one might be discouraged
with the fact that there are many
exceedingly poor farm el's, who fail to make
the two ends of the year meet. But the
"poor we have always" with us, and this
class can never, by any system of laws, political
or social, be entirely done away with?
at least, during this life. We may, however,
! reduce their number and ameliorate, to some
extent, the condition of. the remainder.
This good work, however, must be done by
the farmers themselves, and they seem recently
to have "caught on" to this fact.

WHAT CAME OF A BOY'S SMARTNESS
A few mornings since, while waiting at
the station of a large country town, I witnessed
a little incident that I think will interest
some young people.
The ticket agent had gone to breakfast,
leaving the office in charge of a bright-looking
boy of fourteen or fifteen. The l>oy
was reading what must have been a very interesting
book, judging from the reluctant
manner in which he laid it aside to wait on
the passengers.
Shortly after my arrival an old lady, odd
ly dressed and evidently not accustomed to
traveling, came in, and after depositing her
bundles and procuring her ticket, inquired
civilly of the boy :
' What time is the up-traindue?"
"There's a time-table on the wall behind
you," was the surly reply. "You can read
I reckon."
Without a word the old woman put on
her glasses, and after a long search gained
the information the boy might have given
her in less time than it had taken to give
t he ungracious answer.
"7: 85?7: 83? It must be most that
time now ?" she soliloquised. Young man,
will you please tell me what time it is?"
she asked timidly, glancing at the boy again.
"Why don't you look at the clock ?" sneered
the smart lad. "My business is to sell
tickets, not to answer questions."
An old gentleman very plainly dressed,
who had been sitting in a corner with his hat
pulled over his eyes, looked up quickly
when he^ieard the boy's impolite response ;
but he said nothing, and after a lapse of a
few minutes sauntered slowly across the
room to the ticket-window.
"What is your name, my boy?" he said
kindly, after nodding intelligently to
telegrapher.
<<i /inn'i I'liAii- itmt it. is ?inv of vour busi

ness; but if you have a fortune to leave,
vou can just name Dick Morton's kid Jack,
and it will be all O. K."
"Your father ought to l>c proud of such a
promising boy," returned the gentleman dryly.
"Is Mr. Johnson in?" he asked a little
sharply.
"You can find out by making use of your
eyes, I guess," said the boy, glancing around
under tables and benches, apparently very
much amused.
Just then another boy came in with some
papers for the agent, and his smart friend
said, loud enough to be heard all over the
waiting room, "Here, Fred ! don't go away
till Johnson comes. Attend to the tickets, if
any are wanted. I have been bored to
death answering questions, and I want to
finish this book before the l>oss gets around.
The new-comer quietly hung up his hat
and coat and went to wait upon some ladies
who were standing at the window.
A few minutes later the old gentleman
asked, somewhat sharply : "What time is the
train due, Dub?"
"7.35," was the prompt answer.
"And what time is it now ?" demanded the
same impatient voice that had spoken before.
"It is just fifteen minutes past seven," replied
the l?oy, cheerfully.
I "Ape !" sneered smart Jack. "Why don't
you bluir him oft'?"
"What is your name?" persisted the old
man, stepping up a little closer.
"Fred Myers," responded the boy politely.
"Is the boss in ?" was the next inquiry, in
n much lower tone.
I "No, sir; he has gone to breakfast, but
[ will be back in a few minutes," was the quiet
J answer.
"Seeing that your master is not in, can't
you give me cut rates to Wheeling? I'll, see
that you are not found out."
"My master is always in," was the boy's
quick reply.
Just then, Mr. Johnson, the agent, came
! in ; and addressed the plain-looking stranger
| as Mr. Hays, and the hoys both knew that
j the superintendent of the railroad had been
i talking to them, and before they had recovi
ered from their confusion, they heard him
i say: "Mr. Knox, your telegraph operator
j has beeu appointed to take charge of an of!
fiee in the city, and I came down to look
| after a suitable boy to take his place here.
Remembering the information you gave me
sometime ago, I had made up my mind conI
cerning whom his successor should be. but
i -ifter what I have witnessed this morning, I
have come to the conclusion that Pick Morton's
kid Jack is entirely too smart for our
use, and that it is this hoy, whose master is
always in, can be trusted to take charge of
I the responsible position."
j Smart Jack tried to mutter an excuse for
, his impoliteness when he realized what he
| had lost, but the indignant superintendent
j coolly informed him that his roughness toi
ward passengers could not be tolerated, and
j that he must seek other employment until
j he learned to apply the small courtesies of

WITH THY MIGHT.
! Who arc the boys that succeed in the
I world ? This, my young friend, is a very
I important question for you to answer. Shall
I answer it for you ? As you and I are
! sirnmrprs. let me sav that I have had thou
1 ? 1 ?*
sands of boys under my rare as a teacher, and
that I know who succeeded in all the noble
walks of life. I have watched these successful
boys in the school-room, in the store, in
i the college, on the farm?everywhere.
One trait of character is possessed by all
I of them in a greater or less degree, viz: they
bring all the powers of their mind to the
task until it is mastered. They do not allow
their minds to wander of!*, now upon this
I subject, and then upon that; but with an
1 iron will and an unconquerable determination,
they give the task to be performed,
! whether of the head or the hand, undivided
and close attention till the work is done.
This power of concentration is the secret of
! one scholar's success over another in the same
class. How you study is of greater importance
than what or how much you study.
I have in my mind now several of my old
scholars who are eminent as lawyers, physi|
cians, ministers of the gospel, civil engineers,
j builders, merchants and farmers, all of whom
i were noted in school for their undivided and
close attention to whatever had to be done,
either at the desk in preparing their lessons,
| or in the class-room at recitation.
I I remember one of these boys in particular,
although it is nearly thirty years since
he was a student in my school. I can see
him now at my desk, working at a dilficult
problem in algebra or arithmetic, or trying
to translate a sentence in Latin or Greek. It
mattered not what the study was, he always
entered upon it with the same resolute determination
to master it in the least possible
: time. He seemed to bring his whole body,
as well as al l the powers of his mind, to the
accomplishing of his task,
i Now lie would extend one leg, and then
the other: now run his linger through his
hair, and then perhaps twist his nose, his
eyes meanwhile intently iixed upon his book,
and he saw nothing, heard nothing, until
that lesson was thoroughly prepared. He
never failed at recitation. That boy has

Girls Who Makk Poor Wivhs.?I never

j I do not sigh with pity for the man who will

shiped daughter, who has been taught that
her whims and wishes are supreme in a
household, that makes marriage a failure all
her life. She has had her way in things
great and small; and when she desires dress!
es. pleasures and journeys that were beyond
the family purse, she eariied the day with
tears and sulks, or posing as a martyr. The
, parents sutler and saerilice for her sake, hoping
finally to see her well married. They
earefully hide her faults from her suitors

Makixu Amknds. Never be ashamed to
apologize when you have done wrong in domestic
affairs. Let that be a law of your
life. The best thing I oyer heard of my
: grandfather, whom I never saw, was this :
| That once having unrighteously rebuked one
of his children, he himself having lost his
; patience and perhaps having been misinformed
of the child's doings, found out his
mistake, ami in the evening of the same day
gathered all of his family together and said :
"Now I have one explanation to make, and
one thing to say. Thomas, this morning I
rebuked you in the presence of the family,
and now I ask your forgiveness in their presence."
It must have taken some courage to
do that. It was right. Never be ashamed
to apologize.

THE CORI
Is the Best Farming Im
NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO j
Right Now Is Tli
THERE is no doubt of the fact that no farming ;
implement has ever been offered to the farm- i
ing world that has given such universal satisfac-!
tion as the COR BIN DISK HARROW. It is i
used in every State and Territory and is heartily |
and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer:
who has ever used it, and they are numbered by j
thousands. Practical fanners everywhere agree
.....nvniMV >1... !
that it is, WlTMtJi i fiAi r.r i iv | lliu lliunv |
profitable implement for cultivating the soil and |
putting in grain yet invented. It increases the i
crops, saves time and saves lalior.
The Harniw is inaile of tirst-class material;
throughout, and with proper care will do good i
work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay |
for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks j
i are made of the very heslof steel, and will neither
break, tiend or crumble. The disks are not af-J
I lected to any appreciable extent by narks, and i
I the Harrow will do good work on all kinds ofj
I land.
I The following are some of the points of supei
riority possessed by the t'orbin Harrow :
1. It is the only I)isk Harrow that is perfectly ;
j flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven
! surfaces).
j '2. It is the only Ilarmw in which the gangs are i
I independent of each other?either can lit or fol;
low an inequality without disturbing the other, j
I .'1. It is the only Harrow having chilled boxes j
and anti-friction balls.
4. It is the only Harrow that has u successful,

ie Time To Buy.
The Harrow With Seeder Attachment.
Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, is arranged
so that a Necder can he attached to it.
The Seed Box and its machinery are of the most
simple and compact character. All its metal
parts are of malleable or refined wrought iron.
Its weight is (of the size to lit the No. 7, 12-disk
Harrow) about eighty pounds.
The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure.
It locks itself lirmly to the Harrow frame
by simply putting it into position. Neither bar,
bolt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten
it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool
is required to attach or detach it. Haifa minute
of time will remove and one minute replace it.
The Marrow and Seeder combined cost about
half as much as a Drill, and is a better t?H>l. It
will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover it better,
and place it at any depth in the ground. It
is two complete implements in one. It prepares
the Held in the best possible manner for seeding
and then sows the crop. It sows RED JU'ST
PROOF OATS capitally.
The St. Lawrence M't'g C'o., who are the manufacturers
of the t'orbin Harrow, recommend
the No. 7 Harrow jus being best adapted to genend
farm work. It is made in two sizes, viz.: 12
disks, 1*> inches in diameter, and D-foot cut, and
the other size has 1(1 Id-inch disks and 5-font cut.
I keen a few No. 7 12-disk Harrows on hand and

DO YOU
WANT IT?
IT is our purpose to make another change in
our already very liberal offers to club makers,
md we are convinced that the change will meet
with the approval of the friends of The Eicjuirkr.
It is now little a more than one month
until the clubs will close for the present season,
ind as an inducement to club makers to put in
jome extra good work during that time, we have
iecided to offer a special premium to the person
who returns and pays for the largest number of
mbscribersr
EITHER OLD OR NEW,
Between this date, FEBRUARY 4, and MARCH
), at 1 p. m. The premium we offer is one
FIVE DRAWER IMPROVED8INGERSEW[NG
MACHINE. An accurate description of
the machine will be found in another column, and
the machine is everything that it is represented
to be.
This premium is offered INDEPENDENT of
ill other premiums, and if on the 9th of March it
is found that the person who' has returned and
paid for the largest number of subscribers be
Lweeil HOW una IIUU UUUi, luu? nuu lauiuni uw
largest number since our prospectus was issued
on the 29th of October, that person will receive,
In addition to the Sewing Machine, the first
premium of
$50 IN CASH.
If the person who is entitled to the Machine is
found to have returned and paid for the second
largest list since October 29, that person will, in
addition to the Machine, be entitled to the second
premium of '
$30 IN CASH,
And if the person who is entitled to the Machine
is found to have returned and paid for the third
largest list of subscribers since October 29, that
person will, in addition to the machine, receive
the third premium of
$20 IN CASH.
If the person who is found to be entitled to the
special premftim shall have returned SIXTY or
more subscribers since October 29, including
those for which he receives this premium, but
fails to receive either of the cash premiums, he
will be entitled to ANOTHER MACHINE, and
if THIRT Y or more to a Machine and a WATCH.
It will be seen that club makers run no risk in
working for this extra premium. We are satislied
that there is still room for effective work
along this line, and we trust that club makers
will put in the )>est work of the season during
the next THIRTY DAYS, and we hope that
now workers will enter the field in competition
for this premium, as they will be on an
equal footing with old club makers, and it is well
worth all the effort that will be necessary to
secure it. Remember that
EITHER OLD OR NEW
Subcribers count just the same in competition for
this special premium.
