Bald Faced Game
Played by Fakers
Traveling Through' Jefferson
County and Snaring the
Unsusbicious.
According to an article published in
the Punxsutawney Spirit last Friday
a bald-faced fakerism 1b being worked
on citizens of mining towns In Jefferson
county, and we warn our 'readers to
lookout for the swindler. We clip
following from the Spirit, which shows
how the scheme Is worked:
A man passing himself off as a rep
resentative of a big oity grocer, calls
with a proposition to sell 25 pounds
of sugar for $1, one hundred pounds
of flour for $2, and coffee for $3, total
$6, with a premium of a carpet or oil
cloth enough to cover the floor, or a
suit of clothes, or, if the head of the
house is a woman, a fancy dress.
The agent delivers the coffee, takes
the $3 and promises to deliver the
flour and sugar and prize next week,
"when his car comes."
After the Punxsutawney man got
wise to what was going on he asked
some of those who had made purchases
to weigh their coffee. Following his
advice tbey discovered that the pack
ages weighed 12 pounds, and were
worth about $1.
Assembly Hall To-Night.
Mr. Biggs won his way Into the
hearts of hearers at the very start, and
the charm lingered throughout the
entire lecture, which gave evidence
of his great versatility of talent. The
delivery of bis original poems was ex
quisite, the delineation of characters
captivating, and the power of his genial
personality seemed to breathe with the
spirit of rich humor and wit in the ren
dition of his "Musical Fits and Misfits."
Mr. Rlggs sustained the reputation
made for blmsef in other cities, and
he will always be welcomed here as
"An Artist Favorite" in the realm of
delightful entertainment. Daily Jour
nal, Dayton, Ohio.

Come, Mr. Renter, :
Let Us Reason Together
THE majority of the imperial fortunes of to-day
were made through judicious realty investments.
Never before were the possibilities for fortune
building so pregnant with opportunities as they
are at the present time. Russell Sage said:
"Young man, buy real estate and then work hard at
your avocation. Your real estate will make your old age
comfortable." -
Here Is the advice of one of the most successful, financiers of the
age a man who accumulated a fabulous fortune. The first
thing towards getting a start In life is to save money. The next
thing, to Invest It profitably. Now, at the beginning of the
year is a good time to glance over the past and see what you
have done toward owning a home of your own. That house you
live In might have been yours. You paid for it, but the title
still remains with the land-lord. Once in a lifetime Is enough
for a mistake of this kind. See us for prevention. . Can't you
look back over the past few years and see where you missed it
in not investing In lots? Others bought them while they were
cheap and made fortunes. You can't get rich working for
wages. It's the savings well Invested that bring fortunes. There
is one safe, conservative investment that should appeal to every
person trying to get a start in life. It is real estate. If you are
a married man you should have a home; if single, you should
count at least one good building lot among your possessions.
We will help you to make a good choice and make it easy for
you to finance the proposition, It's your move. Here are a few
of the bargains we can offer you now:
ONE LOT on south side Main street; 32 x 150. Suitable
for house or store building; fine location for some order to
build them a permanent home.
ONE LOT on south side Jackson street; 50 x 150 feet with
two good frame houses thereon, one 6-room and one 7-room.
Good barn on lot. Will sell together or separate. These are
on the pared street and are bargains. Investigate soon.
ALSO, One good building lot In DuBols, on Tabe Avenue,
and one large brick building in Falls Creek containing four store
rooms on first floor and a nice suite of living rooms on second
floor. Building is 73x58x68 1 30. It Is advantageously located
and would be very suitable for small manufacturing business,
such as shirts, overalls, mittens, etc. A bargain.
These are only a few of the good things we have. We can
offer you timber, coal and business propositions, and best of all,
Sewer Clean and Sewer Clean Double XX. Do not forget
these. Come in and see us, and as we said before, "Let us reason
together."
