A O00D ADVERTISING MEDIUM.
Editor Bke : Au advertisement placed
In Tub Bee of one week' ago, offering 15
pigs for sale, resulted in my selling all of
them Inside of four day, and I could
have sold as many more I I had them to
sell. My plaster Is all denned out, par
ties from half a dozen different towns
coming around to buy. Please give no
tice through the same source that I have
no more pigs or plaster to sell this sea
son. It will save time for all those who
are thinking about coming to my place,
and they will not be disappointed. Mon
ey paid for advertising in The Bee
.brings good returns. Yours truly W.
C. Johnson.

to be two of the finest singers in the Old

papers as being second only to Scbalki.

Mr Hayes first jaet Miss Fremstadt she
was singing soprano, having studied with
