Crane returned Saturday from Iowa and Missouri, where he had been soliciting seed jrrain and feed for the farmers. He had indif ferent success, for lie found those states full of men on errands simi lar to his. many of whom had pre ceded him and succeeded in solicit ing about all the people could afford to donate. Mr. Crane secured nearly a car of grain, but when he applie'd for free shipment he was told by a representative of the B. & M. that unless the seed was dis tributed along its line in this coun ty free transportation could not be furnished. As this seed was in tended to be distributed ainonr the farmers in this section, it precluded the possibility of securing a free rate. It was then decided to sell the grain collected and send the proceeds to Mr. Crane in this city. PRIZE AO. A'O. 7. Come Save Cash! Look Inside! Notice! Talk Of Novelties!

At last, being advised by several friends to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, I began taking it, and very soon favorable results were manifest.
