Road Cart Given Away.
I have concluded to give some one
man in the next twenty wlio buys a
buggy from me a road cart free. To
determine who shall get the cart 1
have prepared a list of twenty num¬
bers, (from 1 to 20) and whenever I
sell a buggy the person buying will
get a chance at the cart free. Judge
McKenzie has (he lucky number in a
sealed envelope in the Ordinary’s of¬
fice, and no one knows the number
except himself. When twenty bug¬
gies are sold the envelope Avill be
opened, and the person whose name
is opposite the same number in the
envelope will receive the cart. Re¬
member, I will sell buggies at regular
price, and will not charge anything
extra for the chance at the cart.

J IP PI SCO TT'S AfA C.A7INE, with its varies
L/ and excellent contents , is a library in itself.
It was indeed a happy thought to print an
entire novel in each number.
Sot a short novelette, but a long story such as
you are used to gi t in book form and pay from one
dollar to one dollar and a half for.
Not only that, but with each number you get an
abundance of other contributions, which gives you
a good m igasine besides the novel.
It docs not follow in old beaten paths,—which is
an easy task,—but is perpetually discovering new
and pleasant ones, and following them too.
