REASONS WHY TIRE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS
rs THE BESr..

II is made on tho btSt principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. NO jar can inter-
fere with the harmony its working, and no sud-
den shock can damage its machinery, Every piece
is made and finished by mac inery Gtself famous
for its novelty as well as for its efecveness and is
therefore properly made. The watch is what all
mechanism should be - ACCURATE. SIMPLE,
STRONG AND EC0N0 MlOAL. Except some
high grades, too costly for general use, foreign
Wntohe es are chiefly made by women and boys. Such
watches are composed Of several hundred pieces,
screwed and rivocd together, and require constant
repairs to keep them in any kind Of order. All per-
sons who have carried ''AnsreS," "lepines" and
"Enslish Patent Levers" are perfectly we'll aware
Of the truth Of this statement.
Atthe beginning Of our enterprise. more than ton
years ago. it Was our FIRST object to make q thor
oughlJ good low priced watch for the million. To
take the place Of these foreign impoStions the re-
fuse Of foreign factories, which were entirely un-
salsable at home and perfectly worthless every
where. ra- .t 81 u4 se aH
How well We have accomplished this. may be un-
dOrstood from the fact that after many years OF
public trial, we now mako MORE THAN HALF UF
ALL THE WATUuES SOLD IN TnE UNITED
STATES. and that no others have ever given such
universal sAtiSiAetiop. While this department Of
eur business 10 continued with increased facilities
iorpsrfect work, We are at present engaged in the
manuiscture Of watches Of the very HIGHEST
GRADE KNOWN TO CHRON0METRY. uns
Squaled byanything hitherto made by ourselves
and unsurpassed by anything made in the Uorld-
For this purpose we have the ampest facilities. We
have erected an addition to our main building ex
rressly fer this branch Of our business. and have
hlledit with the best workmen in our service. Now
machines and appliances have ecu CONSTRUCTED
which perform their work with copsum delioa-
ey and exactness. The choicest and most approved
materials only arc used. and we challenge conpar-
ison between this grade OF our work and the finest
imported ohronometers. We do not pretend to sell
our watches for LHss MoNRY than foreign watches,
but we do assert without fear Of contradiction that
for the SANE MONEY our product is incomparaby y
superior. All our watches, of whatever grade. are
fully warranted, and this warrantee is good at all
Nmes against us or our agents in all parts of the
world. v ssn ,8al s tf st.,
CAUTl0N.-The public are cautioned to buy
only Of dealers. AL persons selling coun
tsrfeits will be prosecuted. .ltllf.. ag

CLEVELAND, Nov. 15.-The National
Wool Growers Convention reassembled
this morning. After an animated discus

Resolved, That the tariff bill as it relates
to wool and .woolens, agreed upon by the
joint committee of wool growers and WOOL
en- manufacturers, now before Congress, is
one calculated to insure increased prosper

will tend to the general prosperity cf the
country, and tnat we will stand firmly by
it and seek by all proper meaus its early
adopt m as Hiaw.
Resolred, That copies of these resolutions
be forwarded to the Hon. David A. Wells, to
the committee of Ways and Means, and to
the Senate committee having charge of
the bill. ,Jeat.. n
Hon. E. B. Pottle spoke on the above res
olutions at great length. The principles
he advocated favoring the House tariff bill
met the hearty concurrence of the Conyen-
ton. Able speeches are being made from
other delegations, and an imperative de-
mand goes from this Convention to the
Senate, ret, ,uesting them to concur in the
House bill, F' ,.tu'.

is manifested here by Republicans over the
action Of the Board OF County Canvassers,
who yesterday threw out the votes of the
fifth and sixth wards on account of sur
plus ofvotes being returned over the num-

Never Lost its Organization as a
State. ....
New ORLEANS, Nov. 15.-The Supreme
Court of Mississippi has decided that the
State never lost its organization as a gov
ernment by reason of secession or war, but
that it was not only de Jdcto but de jure q
State, and that the functions of govern
ment were rightly and constitutionally ex-
ercised by those who exercised the Execu-
tive, Legislative and Judicial functions
during that time within the State. The
opinion of the Court was delivered by
Judge Harris. Judge Shallieger, of Miss,
also decided that sales and execution of
contracts made before surrender, founded
upon Confederate Treasury notes as q con-
sideration, were valid and can be inforced
now. Judge Clayton some time since de-
cided contrary. These cases 90 to the Su-
preme Court for final adjudication. p,
