BOACKWELI'S DURAN CIGARETTES, Some Don't use cigarettes but smoke a pipe, and we have heard from several of them lately. One gentleman says “I smoke a pipe altogether and never smoke cigarettes but [I want to smoke that same to- bacco that you use in BLack- wELL's DurvwAM’ CiGAR- ETTES, how canI get it?” This don’t surprise us, in fact to be candid with you, we expected just such calls and so we are all ready. There is a great deal of com- fort to be had from a pipe full of Goop, Pure tobacco and knowing this we have put up in handsome packages, ready for use, BLACKWELL'S Duruam Lone Cur. You will know the genuine by the BULL in the handsome pic- ture on the package. We take a good deal of. pride. in that Bull, in fact think so much of him that we have spent over one hundred thousand dollars in defending our title to him. When we started the manufacture of Smoking Tobacco. we : de- termined that BLACKWELL'S Duruam Butt should be known:all.over the world as the representative of the BEST and purest Smoking Tobac- co ever made. That point has been,zeached, so now we : , put him where he belongs. You can see ‘in the picture the long journey he has had and can readily imagine that he has’nt climbéd all those rugged mountains without some pretty hard pulls, but now he has reached the high: est peak and stands triumph- .antly over them, We give you this little his- tory that you may know - how to protect yourself. - ‘When you want’ the finest smoking tobacco ask for BLackWELu’s DuRHAM Lone Cur and if the picture ofthe nuLL is on the pack- age you'll know it is the pure article; So much for the Bull. Now about this Lone Cur, what is it? ‘It is just the same to- bacco, and prepared in just the same way as for cigar- ettes. The only difference is that instead of rolling a little of it in pure rice paper it is put in a package ready for use cither ina pipe or to be rolled for cigarettes, We have said a good deal lately about the purrry of our cigarettes and all that we have said about them is equally true ofthe Lone Cut. The Leaf ‘Tobacco . from which Buackwetu’s Dur: HAM Lone Cur is manufac: tured, possesses a very desir- able feature that no other to- bacau can lay claim to, viz: the almost ‘total absence of Nitrates and Nicotine. Step into you dealers’ and ask fora package of BLACK: we u's Duruam Long Cur 4S and see if it, istnt just what - you have been longing for.’ WEDNESDAY, 4 She Grilume. tr Persona leaving the etty for the summer dress at the following rales, fostags prepatd: Dairy Trtwuse, per monly, $17 tneluding Sune day issue, $1.25, z For the Upper Lake relon, fair weather, with winds mostly northerly, stationary of ligher temporature. —* ‘Cie Boy of ‘Tunis has falten Into disgrace and disrepute with his peopto for his ton ready acqulescence in French rule.
