Fleshmaa, New Oxford. A Fraud. On Feb. 10, a man registered at the Eagle Hotel, this place, as L. A.

Lee, Trenton, N. J. He claimed to be employed by Wells Richardson Burlington, dealers in drugs, and being short of ready money, asked a gentleman to cash a draft for him on the First Na-. tional Bank of Scrauton, for $5.50. The draft was made payable to the order of Wells Richardson signed by C.

H. Lewis. The gentleman accommodated him and in the course of business transactions the paper passed thro' several hands and was deposited in the bank at Gettysburg; from there it was sent to Scranton where it was protested. The gentleman who cashed the draft wrote to Wells Richardson Co. concerning it and received a reply stating that L.

A. Lee is a fraud and that they have been drawn on for small sums by persons calling themselves H. Talmage" and L. Williams," who are in all probability, one and the same person. He also sold a bill of goods to Druggist Hamilton which as yet has not been received.

Tarde at Home. Literally, not metaphorically, the ITEM contends that, boast as they may about the prospects and the love they have for New Oxford, the principal purchasers of our town are not treating our merchants right, and at the same time they do the town and its interests more harm (tho' unwitingly) than they are aware of. Scarcely does a train leave our depot than there are people going to other towns to trade. At times there are a large number of these people and when they return home small boys or wheelbarrows are brought into requisition to tote their purchases home. The ITEM believes that if these people would maKe their wants known to onr merchants they could buy here as cheaply as in other towns, and thus save car fare.

Trade at home. By helping others we ultimately help ourselves. Along this line we want to state that there are some of our business men who do not follow the golden rule in a mercantile sense, and hence, living in glass houses, they arc prohibited from throwing stones of ordinary size. These lines refer to printing as well as to other lines. PERSONAL.
