THE AXTELLS. Patehen Wilkee farm, Lexington, Ky., owners of Patchen Wilkes and Onward, two of the most noted trotting stallions in Kentucky, when in need of new blood to fuse with tne get of these two great stallions, certainly as experienced breeders, they would select from a family that not only produce race horses, but produce horses that are individually faultless as drivers and bring the highest prices in their class. This farm selected Axtellion 1:154 by Axtell 2:12 (3). To demonstrate to you that they made no mistake in their selection we need only refer you to their consignment to the Chicago horse sale last week where they sold forty head for an average of $385 per head, and not one of these colts had a public record. The fact they were from the loins of three of the greatest stallions of the land, Patchen Wilkes, Onward and Axtell was enough to assure any horseman that he was getting the worth of his money. Axinite 2:174 (3), brother in blood to Axtellion 2:164, is the sire of Francis, one-half mile l:03| (trial) that sold at BlairBaker sale at Indianapolis one year ago for $3500. Helga 2:12} (trial) that sold at the same city last Wednesday for $1350. He is also the sire of Grandor 35996, a very handsome young stallion owned by A. N. Acder, Pleasant Mills, Indiana. Dissolution. Notice is hereby given that by mutual consent the late firm of J. 8. Bowers & Co., hardware dealers, has been dissolved, J. S. Bowers, having retired from the firm. Samuel J.

The retiring firm desire to thunk the public for many past favors and bespeak for the new firm of Laman A- Lee, a continuation of your patronage. The books and accounts of the old firm will remain at the store for settlement. Respectfully, J. 8. Bowers, 8. J. Laman, for J. 8. Bowers A Co.
