cedar tree overhanging tho river and thus

A neighboring exchange- states that a
new and cunning scheme is being wdrk-
ed by a certain sleek sharper.. The
schemer in this case appears at the farm
house and states that he represents an
eastern grocery bouse. He oilers to sell
the farmer a bill of groceries, and exoept
eggs in payment. The schemer then
gives the farmer a note promising to pay
the face value' in groceries while tha
farmer gives bis note agreeing to pay
face value in eggs. Of courso this seems
to be ti'fair dealt but the groceries fail to
appear. The farmers note appears at
the local bank for collection and there is
nothing for the farmer to do but pay the
same. Farmers "ffho patronize home
merchants never became the victims of
suoh schemers,
