One Hundred Days Men.


Of jefferson County we can say well
done in reference to the men she was
called upon TO furnish for the one hun
dred days service. Col. Cooper fur
nishes us with the following summary
of results.
At all the places appointed for the
meeting of the militi, companies the
citizens also turned out and nobly re-
sponded to the call. Ninety -eigh: men
have been sworn in,being Is more than
our quota. and bounties furnished the
recruits varying from $40 to 500 each
man. some townships giving more than
others; and the Colonel we'll challenges
any regiment CT county in the State to
beat this action of the 4ih Regiment
aud Of Jefferson County.
Much creGli Is due 70 Col. Cooper for
the energy lie has displayed in this
matter. To lis aor,s. backed by the
long tried patriotism of our people, is
this gratifying result attributable. We
feel proud Of our County, and say bur-
rah for jefferson
Our men could all have been at head

~ The Manhattan Independent
seems TO think We did the i,inerant sew
ing machine man injustice in our re.
marks on cheap Sewing Machines. We
don't. and that's the difference. We
think any man who will engage in the
sale OF worthless article is doing CON-
munity an injury. The little sewing
machine sold for $50 is practically
worthless, and we would net give fig
for any ones opinion who would recon-
mend it. No one will recommend it
WHO knows wha; a good sewing machine
is. The agent while here showed his
want Of honesty for his stupidity by
representing his machine as better and
more convenien. than one with treadle!
And tina, is just about specimen of
the way in which such machines are
palmed off on those who are not famil-
lar with them. Knowing the worth
lessness Of these peddled machines. We
spoke plainly. that our citizens might
not be taken in. We regard them as
swindles. II the agent wishes to pur-
chase some of them ''dog cheap" We
presume be had better return here and
buy up those he sold. We have moth
ing against the agent as man; but
wish him TO get into some honest BUSH
ness. We assure our Manhattan frie nd
that We are posted on this sewing ma
chine business. and think he will get
his "eye-teeih cut after awhile. He
will then know that he is doing wrong
in aiding the sale Of these worthless
machines.
