come in and pay up all arrearages
on subscription and one year in advance
from date, and to any new sub
scriber who will pay one jear in ad
vrnce. This is a grand opportunity j
to obtain a first-class farm journal
free. The American Farmer is a
large 16-page journal, of national
circulation, which ranks among the
leading agricultural papers. It treats
the question of economy in agriculture
and the rights and privileges of
that vast body of citizens?American
Farmers?whose industry is the
basis of all material and national
prosperity. Its highest purpose is
the elevation and ennobling of Agriculture
through the higher and
broader education of men and women
engaged in its pursuits. The regular
subscription price of the American
Frrmer is $1 per year. IT COSTS

The charge was not pressed and the

Gen. Foster had a practice in New

"the General began on the downward
grade, after some domestic troubles.
Mrs. Foster and her two daughters
now live down town somewhere.

Nearly overybody abuses the postal

pie cross and recross their lines is
quite a study. For years there has
been a demand for a larger card,
and now the department is going to
grant it. The new card is to be considerably
larger tbau any yet issued,
and will, the Grphic thinks, lead to
an increase in sales. It is also a
pleasantar and lighter shade, and a
great deal smoother to write on

WE HAVE ADOPTED A NEW TRIPLICATE CHECK BOOK, BY
which mean everything bought of us, a bill goes with it, so that
there can be no such thing as a mistake, and if it should occur, return the
bill and have it cofrected without a question'of memory coming in. It cost
us money to make the change, but we believe our customers will appreciate
our efforts to prevent errors whieh otherwise might occur. Those who can't
read or calculate will be just as safe trading here as those wbo can, tor
they can carry their bills borne and let others examine them. We adopt
this change as it will convince (should there be any that might doubt) that
we want no errors and mistakes, but want our customers to feel that they
can come in person or send any one and every thing will be straight and
correct,
