jumped the race track fence at the point
where he was sitting, the shaft struck him
on the baek of the neck, and he was
seriously injured. He is a nephew of A.
C. Wilson, of Hutler.
Sow that the oil tield of Hutler has l»
come , o widespread as to prospectively in
elude tin- whole county, sharpers from
Hutler and elsewhere are going out and
taking leases everywhere. Wherever they
bear that a responsible firm is leasing, they
follow up the agent, and try to securi ter
ritory in that vicinity. If they cannot get
a farm, they will take half of it or even ten
or live acres, anything to have a lease in
the vicinity of the expected test well.
Sometimes they take a lease ami agree to
put. down a well iu thirty flays or other
short time, or forfeit Ihe lease and on the
strength of that lease .ccure leases of
neighboring farms, without limit of time,
intending to forfeit the first lea e, ami bold
and sell tin- others. Sometime* they se
cure leases by saying that they represent
certain large ami well known linns, and
sometimes there are words in their live
and ten aere leases that tie up the whole
farm. The entire community should be on
it guard again t tlic.-e people; they are an
injury to the land owner, ami they bring
reputable operators for oil into disrepute.

Explanation.
We have been telling you all summer
how we l>egan the buggy business nine
years ago, and now probably you would
like to know how we are succeeding. We
will tell you. First we like to tell it he
cause it diil so much for our fellow citi
zens. anil second, because it has placed us
in the foremost rank among the large
dealers in this great State of ours. We
believe we have the largest wholesale
trade, and are confident we have the lar
gest retail trade also. To give you an
idea, our Mr. Lieghner has just returned
from N. Y. State, where he contracted to
have twent\ five thousand dollars worth of
one kind of carts made; thi-we believe i
the largest deal of the kind ever made in
the State, .lust think of it, $25,000 worth
of one kind of road carts, aud then think of
the many other kinds we are handling.
Ton would naturally ask, "Where do they
cot" Wo could not tell you here, the
Freight agents at the different depots could
give you some idea, but they go. One
thing you may be certain of, that it's not
buying ilrar and selling that makes
them go. Then think of the number of
l'uggies. Wagons. Harness, Ac., that we
sell; it would scare you to tell you the
amount we have sold since last January.
You ask again, how does it come. Can't
others buy for cash too and sell just as
cheap as you do? We answer; We use our
own capital; we pay no rent; we have not
bought a bill in !» years, that we did dis
count. You see we make this a business
exclusively and are laige dealers, the ad
vantage you will understand in an instant
when we tell you. According to agree
ment among carriage manufacturers the
price is uuiform on same grades of work,
but pureb.ners of 50 jobs or more get a di
count, of 3 per cent; purchasers of KM) jobs
or niorr get a dis count of 5 per cent, and
purchaser- of :tOO jobs or more get a dis
count of 10 per cent, which is the largest
discount allowed any dealer, and as we
buy more than 300 you see we can sell you
work at the same price small dealers pay,
and still have a profit of 10 per cent. Now
fellow citizens we are perfectly willing to
give you the benefit of our advantage in
the market, for it is your patronage that
helps us. and it is only right that while you
stand with us we should not betray your
confidence, and we won't. Remember we
are here all the time, our word is as good
as gold. You know what you are getting
every time we tell you plainly. We have
all kinds, the cheapest and the very best,
so can just suit you; we don't try to get
rich oil' one customer. We never mis
represent. Call and >ee us. whether yon
want to buy or not.
Yours.

<1 ENTI.EMEN: After thoroughly
testing your Allen Washing Machine
ou seyeral large washings of hotel
and family washings, I am free to
say that it far excels all other wash
ers I have over seen or used. Our
last washing referred to was done on
the Ist inst., and consisted of ftC
sheets, 21 table-cloths, 3 dozen tow
els, 3 dozen pillow cases, ('« dozen
napkins, 1 bed spreads, line sheets
and a general family washing. This
washing was not commenced until 9
A. M. anil was all done, complete, dri
ed and taken oil the line by 5 o'clock
I*. M auil would have taken two
days hard work by the old method.
This washer intelligently used thor
oughly cleanses clothes Irom the fin
est fabric to tho heaviest blankets
and other bed clothes and all with
out rubbing, and conseijueutly with
out any perceptible wear on the
clothes. Our washing was never so
well done; blankets and everything
clear and bright. I consider the Al
len washer a grand success, and
should have a place in every house
where there is washing to be done.
