A Secret Organization Among the

Very much has bceu s1il by the

the assertion Of the author Of "Among

the Southern blacks secret and wide
spread organization which has able
leaders, and whose ultimate object is
FREEDoM. This statement, though
generally credited, has been questioned
by certain Northsrn Secession jour
nails

hundred thousand men in the rebe
army. 1t is true they do this agains

SEWING MACHINE.

Has one advantage which Is worthy Of especial attention
in addition to the peculiar character OF the stitch, and
that is its adaptation to either light or medium heavy
work. The Machine which at one moment is used on
THE MOST DELICATE FABRIC, in a few mo-
ments after can be brought to bear with the same faciI-
ity on cottonades and towels Of the coaTsest description
It's ADAPTATION for MI WORK, is thus remarka-
Bile, and gives it a superiority over every other style Of
machine in the Market.
In order that these Machines may be placed in the
hands Of all classes, we have reduced the price Of our
FRANKLIN FAaILY MACHINE TO FORTY
DOLLARS. From the increase OF our business for the
last year, and the entire satisfaction our Machiues are
giving throughout the United States and European
Countries, we are led tObelieye that our determination
to manufacture a PERFECT, SIMPLE, RELIABLE
AND MACHINE, has been fully appreciation
BY the public. This policy will ROMAN Unchanged, and
as heretofore no Machine will be allowed to leave the
office that we cannot fully warrant in every respect
We shall Keep on hand at all times a general assort-
ment Of Sewing Machine msterials
Needles for all machines can be ordered BY Nail or
Express. Price One Dollar per dozen.
Persons in the country, BY sending US their address
enclosing a letter stamp, can have forwarded By return
mail, one Of our Circulars containing the different styles
Of Machines, list Of prices, and sample Of work.
