many of the friends havf railroad stations in dif- 

 ferent counties from whicli tlioir postollice is, it is 

 absolutely necessary that you say, in telling us 

 where goods are to be shipjjed, what the county is, 

 even if you have already told us in what county 

 your postollice is. No doubt our postal guides, 

 railroad guides, and Uradstreet, sometimes make 

 mistakes in the name of counties; but mv can not 

 be responsible for t/icir mistakes. Do you not see 

 it? Wo do the best we possibly can, where the 

 friends wt7J not tell the county where goods are to 

 be shipped; and after having done our best we can 

 not pay damages. 



OBITl'ARV. 



We are pained to notice the death of Martin 

 Broers, at Uvalde, Te.vas, Oct. 1, 1887, aged 3.5 years 

 and 9 montlis. Friend B. has contributed consider- 

 able to these pages in times past, as many of the 

 friends may remember, and also gave us quite a 

 valuable suggestion in regard to reversible frames 

 at the time we devised the wire arrangement we 

 now use. The following from Mrs. B. tells us the 

 sad news: 



Dear Friend: -This notice inclosed will tell you 

 the story. We ask for words of comfort and con- 

 solation in our bereavement. 



Mrs. Martin Broers. 



Gonzales, Tex., Oct. 9, 18S7. 



We are also pained to note the death of another 

 old friend and contributor, J. D. Enas, Napa, Cal. 

 An advertisement by Mrs. E., in another column, 

 tells us the sad news.

 too hard to get them out easily. For prices, see our

We have just received another ten-barrel lot of

 50 cts. per doz., or $4.00 per 100. By mail. 3 cts. each, 

 or 30 cts. per doz. extra. Nickel-plated ones, 1 cent
