As Every Family Naturally Desires 10

to be had, we present for candid consideration,
the tollowlng:-
There are three requirements which
should be united In a Sewing Machine.
list. Capabiity of doing all varieties Of
work in perfect manner
I'd. Ease of management.
Sd Durability.
Ist The Grover & Baker Machine combines
these requirements in a more eminent degree
than any other machine. 1t will sew from one to
twenty thicknesses Of cloth and over one thick
ness OF lace or nalnscok on to two more thick
nesse of calf-skin WithOm change Of needte thread
or tension, making periec. site on each and all
of these fabrics, which proves that It possesses
the first requirement.
Cd. As it will sew from one to many thick
ncsses Of cloth and lace or leather, without any
change of needle tension ii is erident that it
must be more easy 10 manage than other machines
that require change IN running from one variety OF
cloth to another.
It's also easier to manage than any other:
| Because it has more powerful feed that holds
on 10 the work firmly so that the operator need
not hold it stretched to avoid pnckering, thus en-
dangerlng breaking OF needles.
Because it is unnecessary to unscrew any part
of the machine to clean and oil 1t.
Because you never haze to cut the band off to
take IN the stretch Of leather.
BECAUSE it feeds over seams perfectly without
recurring the operatorto pull the work through

How to Get nm a Farmers, fIub

In almost every agricultural paper from a
distance, there is paragraph appropriated to
the encouragement of Farmers Clubs, and
tho beet mode of starting them. In all these,
without an exception, 50 far as it is now
remembered, the blunder is Committed in
embracing in the programme, u subject for
SPECIAL discussion at each meeting. We say
this is bnnder, from the fact that it locks
too much like debating society, where the
members are expected to meet trained and
s. cramlncd - to enter upon the discussion
In clubs, composed Of farmers, this formality
and preparation should be wholly ignored -
hat the farmer desires and needs, Is a social
gathering to consist say of a dozen members
three-fourths OF whom would at least attend
each meeting, to assemble once week at
each others houses, to converse and inter-
change facts and experiences relative to their
business. There should be no written by
laws or rules. OF course there should be
some refreshments provided on these
occasions, AS this will be found to have quite
a marked effect in causing members to be
punctual! Care, however, should be observed
not to permit this to 60 beyond a certain,
moderate limit otherwise it will, instead OF
adding to the value and permanency of these
neighborly gatherings, undermine and destroy
Them, and to the members prove hurttul
rather than beneficial. There should be
President and Secrctary--the former to pre-
side at the refreshment table, and the latter
to pick up, Gull out, and prepare carefully the
essence OF the conversations during the even
ing for publication and then send them to
the Gefmantown Telegraph. This Is about
what, in brief, d Farmers Club ought to be.
On the above hint if any Farmers Clubs
should be formed in Cecil the Secretaries can
send their minutes to TIE Wig in place of
The Telegraph.

handsome houses, hut promises soon,
through Northern emigration and enter
prise, to become large city after the
war. The development Of South Caro-
lima is yet in the bud. The General
Government examined the harbor about
forty years ago, with view of making
it naval depot; but abandoned the idea
owing to the heavy expense Of fortifying
1t. The first los in the village were
granted in I'LL. The Episcopal Church
was built in 1920.
Coosawatchie is the district scat of
justice. 1t is on the edge Of large
swamp, and is sickly in the summer
1t lies at the head of sloop navigation
on the river of that name, and half way
between Charlcsto ton and Savannah, upon
the railroad.
The Purysburg settlement was laid
out in 1892 by Swiss colony, under
John Peter Pury. 1t is on a high bluff
upon the Savannah river, twenty miles
north of Savannah.
Robertsvi.le was settle next in order,
and is village on rising ground.
'Pocotaligo, upon a river of the same
name, was a considerable trading splacc
before the Revolution, but now contains
only II few houses. Besides these, there
are the summer settlements OF Gilison
Or Martinsvillc, McPhersonville, Hey
wardsylllc, and others, situated On sandy
ridges at a distance from the swamps,
where planters retire for the sickly sea-
son.
The future Of this section of the
United States is great one, and it's
manifold advantages for commercial and
agricultural purposes deserve attention.
