Irregular. Attention Farmefs I And land owners. You are invited to call and see our patent combination wire fence. This is the strongest, prettiest and cheapest fence in the world. It is composed of five two strand cables of the best galvanized steel wire firmly interwoven with pickets at a uniform distance apart The pickets are sup ported in such a manner that breakage is impossible, and they cannot be driven or pulled out. This is the fence for the fanner, as it costs about the same as a plank fenoe and will last ten times as long and will turn all kinds of stock, troth a chicken to the largest animal. This fence takes up no more Mom than barlied wire ami cannot injure the stock. It comes" 'mm the machine in rolls containing about 100 feet. An ordinary team of hones can haul from 100 to 151) rods, thus saving much time and expense in getting it on the land, Our yard fencing is unsurpassed for beauty and durability.

But to the ubj"ect matter., I not Mr ry 4 candidate fpr an an ottice under a Demoorat-. io administration? Did not Mr Fry's friend, as a testimonial to the people here to nine tenths of whom he is a stranger have published in a Republican paper in the town whence he, came a flattering notice of Mr Fry! Did not, , the Democratic editor of tho same town, who, apiears to have known Mr Fry longer than bis Republican brother, reply to the article, and attempt to controvert the statement, giving, names even of some of his authorities. Doe not this bear the stamp of reliability to the stranger unacquainted with th merit ot the controversy? And now, I wish the writer of, the article would answer a few questions? ya Mr Fry ever a resident at or , near , Bad Ax Wisconsin? Was he a flatboatman at or near, that place several year after the close of the war? Did he, by some means, carelessly, gt his leg in a' cpil pf rope and receive asvere in juries to' thitt member? - Did he again worlo before his leg was amputated by Dr Conant? , 'After the answer I propose, Mr .Fry ho., an "earnest Itopublican,'';, competent, capable . and deserving, on your authority for a paying, ottice oh the Republican county, ticket Do you favor Mr Fry for Sheriff, Clerk .or Treasurer of Lane county over' "those who never render-, ed their country half eunugh seme to pay f..r their raising iKquiBM.
