j I have rerentlv had all the vacant

Two years aeo. and also one year

to rnn loose, I w^ill snffer great loss I
again this year, as well as others of

Is there not a town ordinance;
against cattle running at large? If !
so, why is it not enforced?

The Alphors Cnstodis Chiinnoy
Construction company of New
York has coni])leted the 1 ::^r)-fiK)t,
cone-shaped, brick smokestack for
the Transylvania Tanning coni])any
in Brevard.
The outside circumference of the
lower portion of the stack measures
about 35 feet, tapering so as to giv»*
a core six feet in diameter at the
top. The chimney rests on a con
crete foundation several feet in the
earth.
Greeting the eye of the traveler
and near the top of the chimney
are the letters one over another,
several feet in height worked in the
chimney by colored brick : “T. T.
Co.,” meaning the Transylvania
Tanning Company.
The inside of the chimney has
been equipped with a metal-frame
stairway. The two builders worked
from the inside of the chimney
and therefore no outside sca£fold-
ing was necessary. A windlass ap
paratus drawn by a horse was used
for lifting the brick to the mason’s.

BUY IT NOW
Yes, the crowning typewriter triumph is here!
It is just out—and comes years before experts cxpected it.
For makers have striven a life-time to attain this ideal
machine. And Oliver has won again, as we scored when we
gave the world its first visible w’^riting.
There is truly no other typewriter on earth like this new
Oliver “9.” Think of touch so light that the tread of a
kitten will run the keys!
RUB OUT PAIN
with good oil liniment. That's
the sure^ way to stop them.
The best rubbing liniment is
MUSTANC
LmiMEilT
Good for the Ailments of
Hmes, Mules, Cattle, Etc.
Good for your own Aches^
Pains, Rheumatum, Sprains,
Cuts, Burns, Etc.
25c. 50c. $1. At all Dealers.
CAUTION!
The new-day advances that come
alone on this machine are all con
trolled by Oliver. Even our own
previous models—famous in their
day—never had the Optional Duplex
Shift.
It puts the whole control ot 84
letters and oharacters in the little
fing}rs of the right and left hands.
And it lets you write them all with
only 28 keys, the least to operate
of any standard typewriter made.
Thus writers of all other machines
can immediately run the Oliver
Number “9” with more speed and
greater ease.
WARNING!
This brilliant new Oliver eomes
at the old-time price. It costs no
more than lesser makes—now out-of-
date when compared with this dis
covery.
For while the Oliver’s splendid
new features are costly—we have
equalized the added expense to us
by simplifying construction.
Resolve right now to see this
great achievement before you spend
a dollar for any typewriter. If you
arc using some other make you will
want to see how much more this
one does.
If you are using an Oliver, it
naturally follows that you want the
finest model.
t *7 CENTS A DA.Y^ Remember this brand-new Oliver “9” is the
^ A • greatest value ever given in a typewriter. It
lias all our previous special inventions—visible writing, automatic spacer, 6>3-ounce
touch—plus the Optional Duplex Shift, Selective Color Attachment and all these
other new-day features.
Yet we have decided to sell it to everyone everywhere on our famous payment
plan—17 cents a day! Now every user can easily afford to have the world’s crack
visible writer, with the famous PRINTYPE, that writes like print, included FREE if
desired.
