We have loth in stock and can readily show you the difference.
If you have been reading the late Government Bulletins on imported
seeds you will certainly be posted as to whether hrme grown or imported
seed is the most profitable to sow.

And we read that Tuesday evening of
this week, our own Bixby did. at the

held their annual meeting that year in
Fremont. Before adjournment, the lo
cation of the next meeting was to be de-
lTnrin in iii if ii ii. 1 1 1 1. 1 i . "-t im. ... a h . .

cided upon and each representative put
forth a good argument in favor of his
respective town. Finally it came Mr.
Bixby s turn to be heard and he made an
eloquent plea for the next meeting to be
held at Columbus, after which one gen
tleman ro'e and asked, "where is Co
lumbus any how'" and in his answer
Bixby declared that "sume men didn't
know Christ, that it was Columbus who
discovered America," and it is needless
to say that Columbus was the next
meeting plnce.
