York to give the public the true time as determined at noon each day at the United States
Observatory at Washington. A huge ball is
to be raised at 11:55 a. m, to a height of 250
feet, and then by an electrioal arrangement it
is to drop precisely at noon. The same arrangement can be made With other cities, and

The Last Warning.
We have been urging our readers for a few
weeks past to be sure and examine Geo. W.
Brown's New Corn Pianter, bafore buying a
machine of that kind. This planter is having
an unprecedented sale and we trust the readers of the Fabmeb will exercise their usual
good judgment in such matters and not bs induced to buy some inferior machine when the
standard of the country, the best in the market, is within easy reach. 181t-(223)
We desire to call special attention to advertisement of the Challenge Corn Planter on fifth page. The fact that it is sold
by the old and reliable firm of C. E. & S. 8.
Merrifield & Co., is sufficient guarantee of
the superior merits of the machine. Mr.
Tyner, former a.ent for our State Grange
is connected with this house. lw
