BANNER SALVE Just now, I want to call especial attention to the Ontario Grain Drill I have sold this Drill to the farmers of Fulton county for ten years, and for sowing wheat and phosphate it stands without a peer. 0 The Steel King Wagon One-third lighter and stronger than any other wagon built. It has an axle that cannot be broken and is fully guaranteed, These wagons are used on the mountain every day by C. R. Spangler aud J. V. Mellott in their heavy lumber hauls, and give best of satisfaction. CORN HARVESTERS Farmors were a little slow about taking hold of Corn Harves ters at first, just as they were with the Reaper when it first came out; row, farmers would as lief cut wheat with a cradle, as corn with the old fashioned corn cutter. ALL ORDERS FILLED PROMPTLY. W. H. NESBIT, McConnellsburg Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than good music. To have good music you must have a good instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru ments, and t the unskilled eye they look much alike. The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and in a position to make good any business transactions. Buy your piano, organ, or victrola Irom me and if it is not all right you can come back at me. There are families in every part of this county that have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about me. ' Perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano, or Player Piano; or your Plain Piano, for a Player. See me. ' Let's talk it over. L. W. FUNK. immiiX JESS TtfrVH n eohohl get the seasons top pnees You know that in every season there are days when prices go soaring just as there are others when the bottom seems to drop out and to ship products means less return than the freight cost. v How to catch the height and get from under at the fall of the market, is a big problem with some farmers. Not so with the modern grower who has Bell Tele phone Service. He gets every quotation as soon as it's made and obtains profitable prices for everything.
