the wonderful igHjs .fdtaws, to the base O f

tive forbcdings of evil upon such dreadful
occasions, wandered up the dark street,
peering with curious eyes into the thick
bIackness surrounding the awful appear
ance. They returned, however, shaking
their heads and wondering. This terrible
appariti0n, at such an early hour of the
night, proved to be-a man carrying q Ian

A Word Of CANTON readers in hpv-

A Word Of Caution. Our readers in buy
ing cheap Sewing Machines, should be
careful in making the selection. There
are but two low priced Machines made in
this country which are really PATENTED,
namely, the BARTLETT" of New
York, and the ''Shaw & Clarken of Maine;
and the BARTLETT' is the only one
that is also fully LICENSED by the manu-
facturers of the higher-priced machines.
We mention this because those who buy
or use an infringing machine are just as
liable to prosecution, under the U. S. pat
ent laws, as are those who make or sell it.
