Rev. Henderson; a Congregational

the pulpit-df Pleasant Grove Presby

two excellent sermons, one in the af
ternoon and a night service, both of
which were greatly enjoyed by an ap
preciative audience. If Rev. Mrj Hen
derson is a sample of Salem's divines,
we would welcome one in the pulpit
quite often, as this church has been
without a minister jfor some time.

the zenith of his glory, '"he's trilled that

Two Errors
A day or two ago our ad.
said: t Tribune chadnless $6.."
It i should have been ' $75. 'Twas our
mistake, not the printers: It has-
also repeatedly said: "Ivcr Johnson,
highest grade $35." This is not, an
error it. is a fact. But the ad. of Ivcr
Johnson in the last copy , of "Cycli
Age" was in error when 4t read thir
way. Iver Johnson bicycles $25 med
ium grade $35." : All former ads; for
months past have distinctly stated
medium grade $2$. high ' grade $35
We make this explanation in order, to
set righan apparent discrepancy be
tween our statements and theirs. Wc
have catalogues, , circulars, and othc:
matter f which are convincing enough
if you're interested.
An ounce of drop forging is
worth a ton of guarantee.

push so easy. Ask our riders.
