Of these watches are now speaking for them
selves IL the pockets Of the people, proof
and q guarantee Of their superiority over all
others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's works at " altman, enable them
to produce watches at price which renders
competition futile, and those who buy any
other watch, merely pay from 25 TO so per cent
more for their watches than is necessary,
We are now selling WAltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than tie gold prices be-
fore the war. There is no other manufacture
Of any kind in the United States Of which this
can be said.
These time-pieees combine every improve
ment that long experience has proved Of real
practical use. Having had the refusal OF nearly
every invention in matchmaking. originating 10
this country or in Europe, only those were
finally adopted which severe testing, by the most
skiliful artisans in our works, and long use on
the part Of the public, demonstrated to be es-
sential 70 correct and enduring time>keeping.
Among the many Improvements we would
particularize:
The invention and use of centre pinion of Pc
culiar construction. to prevent damage to the
train by the bresksge Of main springs, il origi-
nal with the American Watch Company, Who
having cd the refusal Of all other contrivances.

1868 Mr.. Mahoney rendered me a bill

ter and he found an error of 7toenty 46-1OC
dollars, which hem. Mahoney-has
paid me back-all but the 46-1OO dollars,
which he refuses to pay, says it was all
the mistake of the Justice. Now, am a
woman-a widow-and do not understand
much about business matters, but it does
seem as if such mistakes need not happen
with Mr.. Mahoney, who has been in bus
mess so many years. However, I hear
of others who report similar mistakes
made by him in their settlements with
him. Respectfully,

over the way feels bad. He knows that
the columns of the TRIBUNE are much
longer, than his, and that there are
four more of them, that in its regu-
lar issue it prints nearly twice as
much reading matter as he does,
and in addition gives Supplement con-
tanning half as much more making in all
nearly three times as much reading mat
ter as he publishes; he knows all this
and 1t hurts his feeling because his sub
scribers do not pay him SO that he can
afford such Gberality. So he undertakes
to frd fault with the TRIBUNE. He saws
we get supplement printed in Chicago
and try to palm it off as our own. Why
dear Sir, it is our own, for we paw the
cash for it in advance, and have ever
since We had it. Now the less you saw
about that Supplement the better it will
be for your little one horse establishment,
for all our readers know that they needn,,
have it unless they want it, and yo,u
readers are beginning to see how little
reading you furnish, and call quite Otter

MEssRs. EDIroRs.-I am in search of
information. l wish to know what au-
thority the County Board possesses which
enables them to sell the County Poor
Farm, for see they have advertised it to
be sold on the 10th inst. l for one
and know that very many of the prin-
cipal men of the County agree with me
in the matter-am decidedly opposed to
the sale of that property. And for this
reason: AS you are probably aware ev-
cry county in this State, that has de-
cent regard for the wants of its poor, has
its Poor Farm, and though the people
have quietly aSsented to the backward
step which we have just taken-owlDg to
the Poor Commissioners frauds-it will
not be more than three years, I am con-
6dent. before we will all be glad to get
back to the old system, and have the
Poor taken care of by properly appointed
officials in well appointed place. No
one seems to deny this. Granted then
that we win soon return to the old sys-
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1869-03-04

tenn what is the object in selling the ex-
cellent farm we now own for one half its
worth and few years hence purchase
another and pay twice its real value =?
Such is the course such matters always
take. Now our Poor Farm of l6O acres
IN my estimation is worth fully $1,000.
What do you think it will bring at the
sale on the 10th inst? Well know of
one man who has 81, 600, and hecon6dently
expects to get it. another who has little
over $4,000, and he thinks it can not pos
sibly go over that sum. This will give
you some idea of what our valuable farm
will bring. Now three years hence the
towns will all petition to get back to the
old system and the Board will vote to pur-
chase another farm and after spending
a thousand dollars looking around they
will conclude to pay $4,000 for farm
not whit better than the one we now
own, and special tax will be levied for
that purpose. To man up tree it
looks as though some one wants to make
a cool thousand or two out of the people,
and l for one would see stringent meas
ures adopted to prevent it. I think a
public meeting should be called at once,
and some plan devised to efectually put
a stop to the sale of the farm. The
Board could be enjoined-that is if it is
found they have any legal right to sell,
which I very seriously doubt-or any 9TH
ar course might be pursued which ma
jor1ty of those present considered expe-
dent. I assure you that the people are
interested in this matter, and feeling that
they have been defrauded out of so much
they are anxious to stop it at once. I
vote with both hands for public meeting
of all classes of tax payers, OF whatever
shade of political opinion or belief, that
we may consider candidly, and without
prejudice what course it is best to pur-
sue, both In regard to what is past and
what we are called on to meet in the flu
ture. You,s, for the welfare of the Tax
payer. P.

EDITORS TRIBUNE:-On Monday last
l saw a lot of boys skating on the river.
The ice was very bad indeed-all broken
up into cakes which were floating about
in the river. Several boys fell in and
were only rescued from drowning with
difficulty. Under such circumstances
men ought to have kept off the ice, but
saw several, and among them, one who
very much resembles an editor of the
TRIBUNE, skating there, and setting a
very bad example to the boys who want
ed to skate, but knew it was unsafe.
How can you expect boys will do right
when their elders do wrong?
Respectfully A LADY.
