THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
HURRAH! 
LONG MAY IT WAVE! 
Every man and boy, and woman, too, 
who is a true American, loves that good 
old flag as the emblem of what is best in 
government. The principles for which it 
stands can not be too early instilled into 
the minds and hearts of newcomers on the 
field of action, be they youths of our own 
blood, or men of other lands come newly 
to these shores. That flag should ever 
wave in sight of Americans. 
Every school house, 
Every town hall, 
Every Grange Hall, 
Every assembly place, 
Every farm home, 
should have its flag staff, and every flag 
staff should of course bear its flag. 
IB U T , a flag of cheap and poor stuff 
is a disgrace to the flag itself, and the regu¬ 
lar bunting is very expensive. What is 
known as “ cotton bunting ” makes a flag 
that is creditable to any man who owns it, 
and which cannot be distinguished from 
the expensive bunting flags except on close 
examination. The colors are guaranteed 
absolutely fast. We have arranged to fur¬ 
nish “cotton bunting” flags, not mounted, 
to our subscribers at moderate cost, sent 
prepaid, as follows: 
THREE feet long, for two trial sub¬ 
scriptions at 25 cents each. Price, 40 cents. 
FOUR feet long, for four trial subscrip¬ 
tions at 25 cents. Or 75 cents for the flag 
alone. 
FIVE feet long, for six trial subscrip¬ 
tions at 25 cents. Or the flag alone for $1. 
SIX feet long, for one new subscription 
at $2, or for eight trials at 25 cents. Or 
the flag alone for $1.25. 
SEVEN feet long, for one new subscrip¬ 
tion at $2, and two trials at 25 cents. Or 
alone for $1.65 in cash. 
NINE feet long, for two new subscrip¬ 
tions at $2. Or for sale at $2.75. 
The Seven and Nine feet flags make a 
very handsome appearance on flag staffs of 
moderate height and on buildings. The 
Five and Six feet flags are suitable for 
hand flags, or for hanging at low eleva¬ 
tions. 
These flags are good. 
You are or ought to be patriotic. 
Fourth of July is coming. 
Your neighbors, every one, ought to have 
The R. N.-Y. 
Who will be the first in every town 
where The Rural New-Yorker is taken 
to unfurl one of these flags to the breeze ? 
We are willing, of course, to sell these 
flags for cash simply to accommodate sub¬ 
scribers who have no time to get up clubs, 
but our special object in making this and 
all other premium offers, is to extend our 
subscription lists.

The Convenience oi Solid Trains. 
The Erie is the only railway running 
solid trains over its own tracks between 
New York and Chicago. No change of cars

Southern Growth. 
“ The era of city building in the South 
marks an industrial revolution never be¬ 
fore accomplished in times of peace in the 
world’s history. 
“ The words, ‘ City built by magic,’ have 
been used time and again, but never have 
been realized until the present boom in 
Southern properties. 
“The stories of Kansas City, Omaha and 
such Western prodigies are tame compared 
to Birmingham, Anniston and other South¬ 
ern cities. This era, it appears, has found a 
climax in the history of Tallapoosa. 
“ This city is situated near the Alabama 
line on the * River of Gold.’ It does not, as 
Birmingham and Anniston do, depend on 
iron alone for its prosperity, but has an 
abundance of marble, iron deposits equal 
to the best, copper, gold and exhaustless 
wealth of timber land. It is besides in the 
very best farming region of the Southeast, 
with railroad facilities and new railroads 
being built. The company controlling it, 
the Georgia-Alabama Investment and De¬ 
velopment Company, is a strong one, with 
plenty of nerve, and capital absolutely ad 
libitum. Settlers are going in from all sec¬ 
tions of the country, and town lots are be¬ 
ing sold with great rapidity. There seems 
to be nothing of the fictitious boom about 
Tallapoosa; it rests on a solid basis and is 
having a solid growth. It bids fair to lead 
in the famous cities of the South in the race 
for progress which is now challenging the 
attention and admiration of the world.”— 
Henry W. Grady. 
LATEST WHOLESALE PEICES

New York, Saturday, June 6 , 1891 . 
Bkans are a trifle lower on some grades of domestic

Butter seems to have struck bottom as to prices. 
The feeling is quite firm with some slight advances 
for the best grades. Demand Is active and prices are 
well sustained. For the poorer grades the outlook is 
fair though not so good as for prime stock. The re 
ceipts have been much lighter and as there is a good 
trade, bath present and prospective, prospects are 
encouraging.

and prices declined a full cent and a half, but have 
recovered partially. The unusually high prices have 
drawn forward some Canadian eggs.

FnuiTb.—Apples are so nearly out of market that 
we drop quotations. Flue fruit sells quickly at our 
former figure . Peaches are irregular In quality; 
they come mostly from North Carolina and Georgia 
with Peen-to Peaches from Florida. Cherries from 
the South are lower. Californias continue In fair 
receipt. Huckl berries from North Carolina are In 
market. Strawberries have been in large receipt, 
extremely irregular in quality and lower in price. 
Large quantities come from nearby points as well as 
from Delaware. Gooseberries are In light supply, 
but fully equal to the demand. Morida oranges are 
about out of market. Large quantities of imported 
oranges and lemons are sold by auction. The trade 
in dried fruits is dull.

Poultry. —Live fowls are in moderate supply and a 
trifle higher. Chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese 
show little change. Early In the week six cars of live 
poultry arrived in addition to other heavy arrivals 
and prices were correspondingly depressed The 
good demand soon cleared the market, however. 
Dressed poultry sells slowly at somewhat lower 
prices. The supply is ample. Chickens are generally 
weaker. Very little game arriving.

Vegetables.— Old potatoes are a trifle higher and 
firmer under light arrivals. Now is the time to mar¬ 
ket old potatoes as new stock is coming forward 
more plentiful and the price is declining. Thrre is 
not a very large margin between the retail prices of 
the old and new and this margin is rapidly decreas' 
ing. The majority of people prefer the new and 
when the pri es become nearly equal the old will be 
dropped. This month will end the old potato trade 
in this market. Southern vegetables are in large 
supply and many are sold at ruinous prices. The 
quality Is irregular, the lower grades do not sell for 
enough to pay transportation charges. Cabbagps 
come now from North Carolina and Norfolk ; string 
beans and green pease from all along the coast from 
Georgia to New Jersey; tomatoes mostly from 
Florida.

TO SUCCEED IN TIIE DAIRY. 
Good cows are essential. Perfect cleanliness is 
necessary. But noth.ng is of greater importance 
than the use of a good color. Wells, Richardson & 
Co.’s Improved is guaranteed the strongest and most 
natural. It has been improved recently, and is now 
far ahead or all other colors. The largest butter 
buyers urge their customers to use this color, for it 
is sweet, pure, and its use can never be detected. 
Don’t allow your dealer to sell you any butter col¬ 
or but Wells, Richardson & Co.’s I mproved. Tell him 
the BEST is what you want, and you must have the 
Improved. It excels in strength, purity and bright¬ 
ness, never turns rancid, alwavs gives a natural June 
color, and will not color the buttermilk. Thousands 
of the best creameries and dairies use it .—Adv.
