 develop your home market. For 25 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hang up in your dooryard, with the words. "Honey

This department differs from Humbugs and swindles, in giv- 

 ing the names and addresses of persons who. although they do 

 not advertise, obtain goods by making promises which they do 

 not keep. and. not only that, but they do not answer postals or 

 letters when written to. To avoid accidental in justice, no one's 

 name will be given ben- before we have ourselves repeatedly 

 tried to get a reply from him, and, at the same time, have as- 

 certained I ri in his F. M. . thai lie is a resident of the place, and. 

 in short, have done everything in our power to prevent this list 

 from growing larger. Besides all this, an additional warning 

 will be given each delinquent by sending him a printed copy ot 

 this list, before his name comes' out publicly. Those who will- 

 fully take another's property without equivalent, and who de- 

 liberately and purposely do wrong, we all wish to be warned 

 against, anil it is only such we mean to include here.
