"Pittsburgh Perfect"
Fences The Best Because
1. Staysjaro Electrically Welded; to the strands forming a perfect union
and an amalgamation with the strands not found in any other fence.
2. All stay wires are made as heavy as intermediate line wires. A
fence, like a chain, is only as strong as the lightest material in it. Think
this over carefully.
3. *Sb wraps to get loose, to hold moistureiand cause rust.
4. No projections to injure stock or tear wool from sheep.
• 5. Stronger at the joints than any other fence. Welded together with
electricity.
6. Guaranteed that the wire is not injured at the joints.
7. Guaranteed adjustable to uneven ground.
8. Guaranteed that stays will not separate from joints.
9. Guaranteed all right in every particular.
10. Made by the most modern process and on the latest improved machinery..
11. MGSt of the weak points in other fences are on account of the way
he stays are fastened,
.- Our stays are amalgamated with the strands by means of electricity and
the strength of the fence increased a hundredfold over the strength of a
fence where the stays are wrapped or clamped-on the strands.
You may pay more money for other fences but you cannot get as good a
fence as "Pittsburgh Perfect."
F. D. Ford, Agent
Only A Hint. .
Supt. Reynolds of the Lake Shore
and a dumber of other officers aod
several ladies passed through here
Monday and stopped a short time to
inspect the depot and surroundings.
They found the station spotlessly clean
and the stove nicely blackened and
complimented Agent MaGinn-on the
appearance of things. Frank wanted
to show his appreciation by presenting
each with a bouquet, bub, alas, the
company's flower garden has not been
started. He hustled over home, however, and enlisting the services of his
estimable wife, picked from her garden enough sweet peaa and pansies to
make each a buttonhole bouquet which
he presented and received the thanks
of all. We trust that this little incident may prove a gentle hint to the
worthy officials and that next year
may see beautiful flower beds and a
bright green lav n at either end of our
neat little depot.—Manchester Enterprise.
Clung To The Reins.
The runaway that thirteen-year-old
Florence Walker figured in yesterday,
might have ended in a terrible disaster, but fortunately neither the girl
nor the rig was injured in the least.
Miss Florence is the daughter of Geo.
Walker, the liveryman, and was delivering a two-seated carriage, drawn
by two spirited horses, to one of his
patrons, when they started to run and
she was unable to check then. They
dashed down Hill street until they
reached Main and instead of turning
down it they kept straight ahead,
down into the gutter and up an em-
baukmfent into Mrs.R. M. Kies' yard,
where they were stopped by Wm. Illi,
who was working in the garden. Miss
Florence was not badly frightened and
clung pluckily to the reins every minute,"—Ann Arbor News.
Wind Bags Bursted.
Two young men who were swimming
in the Huron river yesterday afternoon, came very near drowning. The
young men were James Wheeler and
Szy Perslci. The former was trying to
learn to swim and, with a pair of air-
filled wings, thought himself in little
danger. He struck oat boldly to swim
across the mill race, but the movements of his arms brought the wings
under them and the air was soon pressed out. Wheeler realized his danger
and began to scream. Eerski swam to
his assistance and grabbed him just as
he was going down. He succeeded in
getting nearly back to shore with his
burden and, just as his strength gave
out, another young man on the shore
came to his help.—Ann Arbor News.

H.ev; W. li. Notestein, professor in
the Presbyterian Synodical college at
Huron, S. D., said that he taught "Greek
and apologetics.
"And what are apologetics?" a layman .asked.
They are such tilings as, say, the
evidence of Christianity."
The layman "was silent for a moment. ■
"Where are you-staying?J' he asked.
"A hotel or a hoarding house?"
"A boarding house?"
"Er—find any evidences of Christianity there?"
The professor's laugh could have
been heard half way down the arcade.
"None too many," he answered.—
