DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN William
Huffman, one of the pioneers of Ohio, and
the oldest citizen of Dayton, died at his
residence on Jefferson street. yesterday af-
ternoon, at the good old age of ninety
seven years. Mr.. Huffman was born in
IIunterdon County. New Jersey, In 1859,
and emigrated to Dayton in 1912, when the
site of our present beautiful and thrifty
city was scarcely reclaimed from the
primeval forest, and only contained a few
scattering dwellings. From small begin
nings, he acquired n princely fortune, now
estimated ut half million of dollars. He
leaves a large number Of descendants to
inherit his immense wealth.

shall be pleased If this turns out to be true,
for we know of the general anxiety of that
community to have him once more appear
among them. The Sunday Enquirer says
OF him: ',

Howe's Cylender Sewing Machine

Our readers will remember that Elias
Howe jr, was the inventor of the Sewing
Machine. And to this day the Howe Sew
ing Machine is deemed superior in most
regards TO all other sewing machines. Espe-
cially is this true In regard 10 the Mammoth
Cylender Machine, principally adapted for
sewing leather work. 1t uses fine needle,
and thick, strong thread which completely
fills the hole made by the needle, the ten
sion being 80 admirably arranged as to al
low the thread to run easily, tightening IL
at the desired moment The finest fabric
and the thickest buggy trace may be sewed
on the Cylender without changing the
needle. thread, or tension. Manufacturers
should lose no time in seeing this extraor-
binary machine; they will be sure TO want
it, aud get II, too.
1t is invaluable TO Boot and Shoe Manu-
facturers, Saddle and Harness Makers Car
riage eTrimmersand allwhO have heavy sew
ing to do. The lighter machine, for leather
work, for clothing manufacturers, and the
family pearl-fnish machines, are also SUI
porior to the other sewing mrchines In
general use.
The ''CylendeE' aud other Howe ma
chimes are on exhibition this week, at the
Music and Sewing Machine Rooms of Sum
ner & Co., Clegg Building, Third street,
where Mr.. Shaw can be found, gentleman
who thoroughly understands the machines,
and how TO work them and, we undertake
to say that he will, in very few minutes,
convince any manufacturer that the "Cyl-
ender" is the greatest sewing machine for
theIr business ever invented, and Just the
thing, in every respect, that they desire
and need. nos s'hiiiu6

INCIDENT or THE WAR.-A returned SOL
dier, who has a foud of interesting anec-
dotes, relates one of a brother soldier who
was singularly lucky in saying his life in
one of the actions in which the regiment
was engaged. The drums beating to arms,
before he had finished his dinner, he thrust
a piece of bacon, too precious morsel in
such precariaus times to be wasted into the
breast pocket of his coat. After the battle
was over lie discovered a bullet in the ba-
con; and ever afterwards, when thankfully
recounting the tale of his miraculous es-
