FUEL. 



The George Wittbold Company, 'Chica- 

 go, use hard coal and tanbark arid find 

 this combination the most economical. 

 Of cours'e, a good draft is required, but 

 they have that, having now a new smoke 

 stack 75 feet high. But they have used 

 the tanbark successfully with a stack 

 only 40 feet high. 



They get up a good fire with the hard 

 coal and then follow with the tanbark. 

 The latter costs only 25 cents a load, 

 and gives about as much lieat as coal. It 

 is usually in about the right condition 

 for fuel, as it comes from the tannery, 

 but if it is rather dry they wet it. 



Dixox. Il.l..— Business so far in October lias 

 been xinusually good. The funeral of Undertaker 

 J. E. Camp was very largely attended by out of 

 town nndertaliers. Mr. Camp was universally 

 loved and respected by all. The floral offerings 

 were among the best ever seen here and much 

 credit is due the Ladies of St. Agnes' Guild, who 

 had charge of the decorations. 



Gehmantowx. Pa.— Tlie rapid increase of bus- 

 iness has made it necessar.v for Thomas Meehau 

 Sl Sons, the nurser.vmen. to erect a tine two-stor.v 

 addition to their otttce. This firm I'eports an ex- 

 cellent prospect for fall trade.

It picks them up and 

 holds them until you are 

 ready to deliver them to 

 your burn heap or com- 

 post pile. 



The wind can't blow 

 them about after once 

 raked. It does the work 

 much better than the 

 hand rake, and does it 

 three times as fast. It 

 takes up grass, either 

 long or short, twigs and 

 loose litter of any kind, 

 stones included, that a 

 hand rake would not 



touch. It will save its cost in 6o days on any good lawn. Price, $12. OO. 

 It was given a Certificate of Merit by the Society of American 



Florists at the New York Convention, the judges reporting that they "Believe 



it to be far superior to anything else in the market."
