signature of Enoch Hugg, a Milesburg
merchant. Unfortunately the Centre
Hall people left the sharper go, after he’
had returned the money. The fellow
was a stranger over there and no one
knew him, but the description given of

to buy, he offered them all a premium,
which is to be delivered two weeks after
the sale of the soap.

Smyrna rugs, baby carriages and sixty-
eight piece dinner sets were among the
allurements that enticed the gullible on
“Methodist hill” to lay down a dollar
for tweiva little pieces of soap.

ing (?) at the end of the'two weeks.
