So In this case wo need another man, who can have grip and will grip on lo putting down a barrel factory in this vicinity, so that we bad cold folks will not be bothered In gelling barrels lo ship our potatoes in. So the invitation standi good to the man or men who can have the gilp and will not grip too hard on their money as there is plenty of room for them here In helping to improve this vicinity, where there are so many subjects of bad colds. The farmers are planting more rice in this section than usual, and not so much cotton, owing to the low price of last season, and if the price of rice should be 40 or 50 cents per bushel next fall for rice, the bad colds will sure get worse and tbey will some of them lie Raying I wish 1 had gripped on lo cotton In stead of rice.

And so in putting secondhand shoes in order new vainpa are some times put in But while pnch a shoe, which had alfo been soled and heeled, might easily be deHcrilied as having nn dergone extensive repairs it would still be far from wholly new There wonld remain, besides the old counter, tbe shank and the inner sole aud the gen eral shape and framework of tho shoe, and upon these the repairs could be made Secondhand shoes bring various prices, depending ou their original quality aud their condition A pair of secondhand shoes, resoled aud relieeled and with new uppers, can be bought for as little as u dollar. --New York Sun The Madrid MaeuiM.
