SUITED TO THE Tn1Es-Now that we are
IN the midst Of war, our people are in
doubt what the financial effect viii be up
on us as individuals 1t does seem that
the West must in measure prosper. We
must feed the army. and our products will
be bought and paid for; then again, the
soldiers who are fighting our battles will
receive liberal pay, and their families will
have money, perhaps ID a majority of in
stances, more plentiful than heretofore
this money will be circulated. Under
those and other circumstances, it appears
to US, VIC shall not, at least, all be ruined
Yet We must make the money we get go
the farthest it will. If we can buy, for
$50, as good and serviceable an article as
we can for $50 or So, why we must not
neg ect to do so. We have case in
point: Elliott's Improved Pearl Sew
ing Machine, solo fer $50, we believe to
be as reliable to be as reliable and as SER
viceable as any $50 or S75 machine in
the market, A word te the wise being
sufficient. we refer our readers to the adj
vertisement of Geo. F. Collins & Co., in
another column. We fully endorse them
and their statements.-North West Church

Dir. R. S. Little returned to this place
few days ago frem Denver City, looking
hale and hearty. He gives fattering &C

ESCAPED FROM JArL,-GeOrge Holmes,
who was Indicted for Forgery at the last
term of the Circuit Court in this county,
escaped from jail week ago last Sunday
morning. According to the Republican.
he got into the cell with one Br dget Cary
the night previously, where be remained
until morning. Bridget has been accus-
toned to helping in the kitchen mornings,
and on Sunday morning about six o clock,
as the turnkey was releasing the prisoners
from their cells, the woman went out, as
was supposed, to attend to her duties
Shortly after it was discovered that Bird
get had not been out. and that Holmes
was the ,oonaan who had worn off Bridget's
clothes. The ruse was pretty we'll car
ried out or it never could have been play
ed. 1t being court week, sheriff Smiths
time was fully occupied with other mat
tiers, SO that he relied upon his jailor to at
tend particularly to this business, and he
being ga new hand at the bellows" was
not as sharp then as he very likely would
be now. There was considerable doubt,
we understand, as to Holmes conviction,
so that perhaps it is better for the. county
that it has got rid of him as cheaply as it
has.
