pt pvon if thev move two or three
times ; if they die their heirs get it.
Now we are going to combine witn
tVif "Farm Tournal" and send the
Columbian one year and the "Farm
Journal" nearly 5 years (remain
der of 1900, and allot 1901, 1902,

It is a worthy organization, and we
are released to note that the people
appreciate their services, as this
