FURS, TAKE NOTICE !
Don't read this "ad" all through to-day. Wait
until after Church, Sunday afternoon. It's
good Sunday reading, and you will
have time to think about it
all the week.
We have a ntore full of goods and don't know what to advertise first
or where to leave off. We had much rather be used as a football In a pro
fessional game than to write an "ad" anyhow.
But they say advertising pays and we are going to try it once more
(Just for luck) anyway, before we say it does not.
We have about 40,000 little things that we cannot mention at all. But
we will make a start on
AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS,
Aud can truly say that we have a large and well selected assortment
of all kinds of Implements used on the Farm. To begin with we have the
agency for the vicinity of the following
FLOWS:
The Gale, the Imperial, the Columbia, the Wakelee, the Centennial, the
Yankee, the New York and the Syracuse Wing Shovel Plows. All these
Plows have been used in this part of the country and do not need to be
talked about too much. They all sell on their own merits and do their
own advertising by the good work they will do on the farm.
Now about
We sell the following: the Cutaway, the Acme, the Syracuse Spring
Tooth, the "A", the old fashioned iquare tooth and the Thomas Smooth
ing Harrow. These are all good and can all be judged by their "good
works."
Now about
SEED SOWEBS
and Planters. We have the Planet Jr. Seed Drills, for all kinds of small
seeds In drills and the Planet Jr. Hill Dropping and Fertilizer Drill com
bined. For a Broadcast Seed Sower we have the Cahoon, which is very
highly spoken of and beats hand sowing all to death.
CULTIVATORS,
Come next, we are the wholesale and retail agents for The Planet Jr.
Horse Hoe and Cultivator, which takes the lead over all others up to date.
The No. 0 has the Lever Expander and the Wheel Lever, this makes it the
easiest cultivator to handle and the Steel Frame makes it the lightest Cul
tivator (with all the improvements) cn the market.
The No. 5 has only the Lever Expander and the wheel hung on arms
so that the depth can be regulated and changed by the use of one bolt. It
will do just as good work as the No. 0 and does not cost quite as much
money. For lulling we have the
The Newtown Bee
'FRIDAY, JOSE 21, 1895.
JANDARI ;. 1883,
At mentioned above, both with wheel and without. These Plows,
when once used, will be used every time In preference to any other Hilling
Plow as they are so light and strong,being made of sheet steel and a good
strong wood frame.
We are also agents for The
Which kills all weeds without tearing up the ground too much. This
takes us up to Haying time when you want a Mower or a Horse Rake, we
want you all to know that we tell the Walter A. Wood
And the Walter A. Wood Horse Rake. They are acknowledged all
over the whole world to be the lightest and best machines on the market.
We sold 40 of those tubular SteeKMowers in one season. We fully expect
to sell 50 of them this year. We have already had orders placed with us
for several to be delivered in the early part of June. This fact alone leads
us to believe that we shall reach the "high water mark" before the season
Is very far advanced. If you are thinking of getting a sew Mowing Ma
chine this year, tend to ut for Catalogue and our prices on the Wood be
fore you decide. What about
Horse IRGolszes
At we have talc before, we sell the Wood. We cannot say too much
in praise of this rake. It has Steel Wheels, no tires to get loose and no
tpokes to come out right in the middle of the afternoon, when you have a
six acre lot all down and ready to rake up. We also sell the National
Hone Rake, It's a good one too, there's no use talking. But we have
blowed enough on Raket. Come and tee them, then use your'own judge
ment. We should like to Bell you one of both kinds if you don't know
which yon like best. Well now we have
By the dozen or gross, just at you want them, all pricet. Forks of all
klndt all tlzf s, Horse Hay Forks and Hand Hay Forks, Hay Forks for the
Boyt and for all the City Cousins with nice smooth bandies and gilded
ferrules if you want them.'' Well now we forgot to say a word about
HOES
We have got them on hand though, all sorts and all sizes, for little
folks and big folks, some that will help the "slow coaches" to hoe their
own rowt, and not "shade the corn." v
And Scythes. What looks nicer about the farm than a well kept door
yard. The only way to keep one nice it to have a Lawn Mower and use it
We have all klndt the Philadelphia, the New Model, the Henley and the
Triumph, all good tnaket and fully warranted. For
SCYTHES ,
we have the Clipper, the Mohawk and other leading brands at the lowest
market pricet.
Well we have written a long "ad"and have not had much to tay about
lots of thing! we have in our ttore. But come and tee us if you want any
thing In our line. Don't forget that we tell everything In the Hardware
line at well at '
IFairLto, Oils, Grlaos,Etc,
and will guarantee you low pricet and fair dealings and hope you will
give ut a share of your patronage.
JDcaATa. On DPotcito DB-u.gr !
We have again secured the agency for Leggetta' Paris Green Gun, and
are all ready now to fill ordort for the same. Everybody that had one of
these Guns laatjyoar, liked them and we expect to tell large quantities of
them thlt year.

THE PROPOSED MILK EXCHANGE DOES HOT
MAiiiKIALIZ ti.
Editor The Bee : The new Milk Ex

was stated that their lawyer had decided
the present stock arrangement to be Me

ME BASER TO ENLARGE HIS FURNITURE
'WAREHOUSE
When A. G. Baker, the Hawleyville
furniture man, first broke ground for
hi great furniture warehouse, some
smiled, some scoffed, while others look
ed on, in amazement at his grit and ener
gy. But Mr Baker "kept sawing wood,"
and by diligent advertising and close at
tention to business has built up a great
trade, extending far and wide. Finding
his present large quarters insufficient he
has just had ground broken for an addi
tion,35x90, two stories in height The ex
cavating is being done by William Haw
ley and the new addition will doubtless
be completed by August. Mr Baker
has enjoyed a fine trade, this spring.

BETHEL.
THE EARLY DAYS OJf HATTING.
Many years ago a young man came
from New York to the old town of Wood
bury, Conn. He had been in (the place
but two or three days when he was taken
sick and died with the small pox. He
was a batter boy by trade, just out of his
time and was probably taking his first
"tramp.". A young hatter was never
considered to be a full fledged journey
man hatter until he had traveled over the
country and visited or worked in the dif
ferent bat shops of the trade. If be be
came hard up he was given a "lift," or
in other words a small sum of money to
help him along to the next hatting local
ity, wnere pernaps ne would nnd worK tor
a time. It was customary for old hat
ters to go from shop to shop and work
up the oiders and pass on to the next.
By so doing the old hatter became ac
quainted with every locality where hats
were maae m tne country and became the
most expert workmen in the trade by
leading this kind of roving life. Many
of them became addicted to the habit of
intemperance, a fault to be excused at
that date. A more generous, sympathiZ'
ing class of men never lived. The writer
visited, a half century ago, a lonely grave
on a hillside field, which made a lasting
impression on his young mind at the time,
The grave is situated about one mile
southeast of the above named village and
was enclosed by a neat picket fence with
trees of cedar at each corner. At a late
visit we find that the fence had fallen
from decay and was laying across the
grave and the cows rested in the shade of
the grove, we copy the following In
scription, which has been handed down
in history. It may interest workmen of
the trade and readers ol xhb jjke: in is
monument is erected by the Society of
Hatters, to the memory of their brother,
Fisher Hartshorn, a native of Charles
town, Mass., who fell a victim to the
small pox and was buried in this lonely
place, February, 1S25, aged ai years.
In this retired and lonely grave
The Stranger is at rest;
His Spirit gone to Him who gave,
To dwell among the blest.

REDDING.
ANOTHER EErORT OF THE FLAB RAISING
Thursday was a gala day at the Cen
ter. The occasion was the unfurling to
the Dreeze oi a oeaucuul American nag
the gift of the trustees of the academy
A most pleasing feature of the occasion
was the presence of many of the schools
of the town. The Foundry furnished its
full quota, brought to the academy
grounds in a four horse team gaily deco
rated wicn nags, a large Danner noatmg
from a pole in front et the wagon. Em
ory Sanford handled the ribbons most
skillfully. The Ridge school, accompac
led by their teacher, followed in a vehi
cle driven by John McDonald. The
scholars were all dressed in white and
each carried a small flag. Couch Hill
also was in full force and presented a fine
appearance. The exercises commenced
at 3 p. m., and the program passed off
without a break and unnagging interest
to Its very close. The ecene was most
inspiring and all who took part did honor
to the occasion. The program was as
follows : Singing, "The Red, White and
Bine," school: scripture and prayer.
Rev B. Pillsbury ; quartet ; presentation
in 'behalf of trustees, A. Treadwell ;
speech of acceptance, Robert Osborne;
raising of flag, recitation, Ida wood ;
singing, "iag or tne irree," school;
speech, n;. xr. snaw; speech, Kev W; A
Swan ; singing, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" ; speech, Rev B. Pillsbury ; speech,
iev v. a. iutner ; singing, "America."
At the close of the exercises all present
were invited to parcaue or ice cream,
strawberries and cake. As is always the
casein lteaamg, tnere was more than
enougn ror every Doay. Tne day was
cool and delightful and a more thorough
ly enjoyaoie occasion nas seldom been
given to the people of the town. Stimu
lated by the good example of the Center,
the people of the Ridge and Vicinity de
termined to follow suit, and on Thurs
day evening a meeting was held in
Whitehead's hall to see what could be
done to show their loyalty to. the flag.
It was voted to erect a pole and float a
large banner from its peak on the Fourth
of July. Committees . were appointed
and a subscription started on the spot,
quite a generous sum being pledged dur
ing the evening. The plans are ni t yet
fully matured, but enough has been ac
complished to guarantee the success of
the enterprise. A band, and fire works
in the evening, will undoubtedly be fea
tures of the occasion. - It is to be hoped
that all our citizens will take an interest
and lend a hand to m&ke the occasion a
grand success. A. J. Sherwood, John
McDonald and Ernest Sanford are a com
mittee to solicit subscriptions. '

THE
ADRIANCE BUCKEYE MOWER, STYLE H.
The most perfect and powerful mower ever built, retains all the basic
principles which were the foundation of the most successful of all mower,
our original Buckeye, combined with improvements of such novelty and
- evident value as to appeal to the intelligent judgement of all users of mow
ers. A remarkab'e gain in efficiency and power in proportion to weight and
draft.
The greatest advance made in mowers for a long series of years.
The Adriance Buckeye is the only mower embodying the following
features :
Every pound of weight of the entire machine and cuttting apparatus
can be utilized for power. The proportion of weight of the cutting appa
. ratus can be utilized for power. The proportion of weight of the cutting
apparatus to be left bearing on the ground, can be adjusted to weight of
driver and requirements of work. Foot lever and hand lever for lifting
both ends of the finger bar, can be used separately or together. The pow
er exerted by driver on either lifting lever is automatically doubled in ef
fect by reaction of force on the pivoted seat. Lifting or folding the finger
bar throws no weight on the necks of the team. The lightest possible
draft and quickest motion ever attained on any mower. All extra parts
are kept on hand.
For 35 years agents for this Champion Mowing Machine. Also agents
for two of the best Horse Hay Rakes in market. Send for circulars.
