Yircinu is sending a great many of

A.Moso the latc.-t devices to swindle
farmers is inj the shape of alleged
agents of Chicago commission houses,
traveling over the country inquiring
after crop repoit. They Juve blanks
to till out for reports, and to add color
to the scheme they get the farmer to
sign his name to the report, and the
document turns up afterwards to be a
a well written promissory note. Farm
ers should beware of all kinds of
frauds.
We would suggest to the city dads
that they give some painter a job to
paint sign for the streets and avenues
of Red Clotul, and have them put up
pioperly at each corner. Theie is
hardly a person in the city that can
tell the street he lives on. Then with
a trilling outlay the houses'i ouid be
numbered and thus a great deal ot
trouble saved to the stranger who ar
rives in the city, besides being of great
beneiit to the citizens.
There is a general complaint among

wants to increase its business it must
put au oflice up town, and the same
can be said of the Western Union Tel
egraph Company.
