A Golden Nugget. 



A strange novelty is this golden table 

 corn, with its beautiful rich cream col- 

 or. .It is claimed by those who know 

 it that it is very sweet, early and tender 

 and a superior corn. We notice Vick 

 recommends it very highly. The Flor- 

 al Guide, which comes to us, bringing 

 a boquet of Carnations on the front 

 cover, with &■ splendid bunch of Bril- 

 liant Poppies on the back, gives fall de- 

 scription of this new corn, which is only 

 15 cents a packet. Vick's Floral Guide 

 is worthy a place in the home of anyone 

 who expects to make a garden the com- 

 ing spring: By all means send ten 

 cents to James Vick's Sons, Rochester, 

 N. Y., for the Guide, and you can de- 

 duct this amount from your first or- 

 der. It will pay you well.

A Quarter of a Century has elaps- 

 ed since Lippincott's Magazine was first 

 presented to the reading public. By 

 adding new and original features it has 

 kept in advance of the times, and now 

 occupies a unique position among mag- 

 azines. It was the first to abandon the 

 use of serial stories, and by publishing 

 a complete novel in each number, the 

 Magazine has wonderfully increased in 

 popularity. The January number ('92) 

 contains a remarkable novel, dealing 

 with newspaper life, entitled "THE 

 PASSING OF MAJOR KILGORE," by 

 Young E. Allison, late Managing editor 

 of the Louisville Courier-Journal. A 

 series of articles on Athletics also com- 

 menced in the January number. The 

 initial article on "Boxing" by Daniel L, 

 DaAvson, illustrated. The articles will 

 be prepared by experts in such sports 

 and exercises as Rowing, Fencing, Base 

 Ball, Cricket, Walking, Swimming, 

 Archery, Tennis, Foot-Ball, Riding, 

 Sailing, Golf, La Crosse, Polo, Wheel- 

 ing, Curling, etc., as well as articles on 

 Physical Training and Iu-Door Exercis- 

 es. New Talent will be heartily en- 

 couraged as heretofore, and writers 

 from every section of the country will 

 be represented in the pages of Lippin- 

 cott's during 1892. A series of articles 

 dealing with reminiscences of men fa- 

 mous in our political history, and giv- 

 ing hitherto Unpublished correspond- 

 ence, will form a feature. A Depart- 

 ment entitled "As it seems, treating 

 of topics of timely interest, will from a 

 valuable feature during the year. It 

 would be impossible to mention in 

 detail the wealth of material that 

 has been secured for the ensuing year 

 in the shape of Short Stories, Essays, 

 Poems, etc. 25 cents, single number.
