offering the beat facilities for operating, aod
also affording a more permanent product Ion

A Joke.
Petroleum Centre, June 21, 1873.
Editor Titus villb Colrikb: As there
has been a good deal said aboHt an alleged
recent purchase from me of 100,000 bairels
ol crude oil al $1 per barrel by J. W. But
ters, I wish to say ibat both Mr. On Mem
and myself uuderstood at tbe lime, Ibe
transaction to be nothing more than a
joke.
Jambs S. McCrat.
Aod yet, according to tbe telegrams of
lb state of the oil market, received ibat
day, the joke was used by the aforesaid
Butter, as lb price or oil went down at
least 25 oeols per barrel, and to suppose a
case, somebody, we don't mean Butlers,
"loaded up" al the reduced figure, and ar
Nlel Bryant puis it. probably "That's
Where tbe Joke Comes In."

Al tbe sale ol tbe Perkioe library, at

prices were realised. A Mszarian Bible Co

The "City Fathera" ol Paiker, bave paw
ed an ordinance making it the duty of all
formers selling their produce io "Parker

dollars. Tbe result is, farmers sell their
"garden sass" in other towns aod Ibe in
habitants of Parker bave lo pay exorbitant
prices to tbe grocers for produoe, It is
generally believed tbe grocers were tbe or

lo explain that hereafter.
This I do know, however, tbat the re

Mr. Editor: Those conundrums sent
lo by Tax Payer, and published In your
valuable paper of Saturday, it strikes me
throw out some base Insinuations against
good citizeos. As Sbakspeare says
"Tbs shrug, tbe bum, or ha; those petty
brands
Thai calumny doth use,"
So it appears to me Is tbe treana Tax
Payer Is uaing to vent what is evidently a
petty spite.
Your, Citizen'.
Mr. Editor: Tboae conuodrum was
good, they was. Allow me lo ask aoolber
one:
Why is it when no names, dates or
places were mentioned in Tsx Payer's con
undrums, so many people imagine they
were intended lor Ibem?
