THE FLORENCE
LOCK STITCH
SEWING MACHINES,
WHICH HAVE RECEIVED THE PREMIUM
WHEREVER EXHIBITED,

Are offered to the public as the latest embodiment
of improvement in Sewing Machines. Special
attention is invited to some of the great i'm
provcments over other Machines united in the
Florence.
1t is the only Machine that makes four kind
of stitch, three of which are made on no other
Machine, and are stronger and more elastic than
any other.
It has the reversible feed motion, which en-
ables the operator, by simply turning a thumb
screw, to have the work run either to the right
or left, to stay any part Of the seam, or fasten
the ends Of the seams, without turning the fab
ric.
1t is tie only Machine having selEadjusting
tension, great improvement.
Its motions are all positive, there are no
springs to get out of order, and its simplicity
enables the most inexperienced to operate it.
II docs not require finer thread on the under
side than it does for the upper, and will sew
across the heaviest seam, or from one to more
thickness of cloth, without change oftension or
breaking of thread.
It never slips stitches, and draws each stitch
up perfectly alike on each side.
The taking up of the slack thread is not per-
formed by the irregular contraction Of wire
coil or uncertain operation of wire levers. The
precision and accuracy with which the Flor
ence draws the thread into the cloth is unap-
preached in any Sewing Machine hitherto offer.
ed in the market.
1t rses less thread than any other Machine.
II runs light and quiet.
1t can be easily managed by child.
1t needs only to be seen to satisfy any one of
its superiority over all others.
1t hens any width, fells, cords, tucks, quilts,
gathers, and sews braid on skirts or coats all
without any PIE nous basting.
1t does more work and more kinds Of work
than any other Machine.
The needle cannot be set wrong.
1t is warranted to give satisfaction.
If any purchaser of the Florencesis dissatis-
fed with it after a fair trial, will give in ex-
change any Sewing Machine of similar value
known to the trade.

TAXEs-Taxes arc not the worst evils
that may befall a city. Even excessive
taxes, if incurred for the purpose of
building up and improving place, are
better than no taxes at all. Just think
for "a moment what the condition of a
place would be if the tax gatherer were
unknown. An enterprisffg wide-awaEe
business man will never be found ma
king his home in IA city that is free from
taxes. During the remarks of the Hon.
Dennis Mccarthy, IN Syracuse recently,
in favor of bonding that city to aid in
the construction of the Syracuse North
ern and the Syracuse s. Chenaneo VAL
ley railroads, he cited the following
circumstance of how business men
should look upon this question:

Mr.. Griswold lately spent eight weeks
in Kansas, and travelled over most of
the State. He is keen observer, well
Informed gentleman, and his opinions
of Kansas are entitled to consideration /:
"From the oft-repeated cry of Bleed
ing Kansas, that has sounded through
our ears for the last ten years, one might
suppose that she was some dwarf State,
feeble, halt-grown, body and limbs, all
covered with wounds, bleeding at every
pore, life nearly gone, with scarce body
enough left to make decent funeral.
But such is not the ease with this grow

1sTREAMs, TIMBER AND COAL.

IHt4A DIS, 1134l1flS AND COAlLs-
Whoever looks over the map of
Kansas, or travels to any great extent
within her borders, will see at once
that few States have more numerous
streams. She. has vast variety of riv-
ers and creeks, of various sizes and
lengthhs, some slow, sluggish, muddy,
and some rapid and clear. Along some
of her streams are, fine water powers.
Most of her rivers and creeks run in
deep channels, and they seldom over
flow their banks SO as to injure crops,
unless in very high floods. This great
multiplication ofstreams gives to Kansas
a vast proportion of rich valley land.
Along ali her streams ofany size is a
fine growth of timber, of greater or less
extent. Oak, black walnut, cotton
wood, and various. other kinds grow
very large and thrifty on all the large
many farmers here commenced the cul-
tivation of timber, which grows with
great rapidity. The natural and culti-
waited TIMBER together. with the vast
quantity that will spring up sponta-
neously, just as soon as the prairies are
cultivated so as to check the extensive
fires in burning grass, will supply the
State in the future with plenty of wood,
fencing and timber. In great part OF
Kansas they need no wood, as coal is
found in abundance. In many counties
it is so universal and plenty that all the
farmers will have all their fuel directly
under their farms, and yet the land over
most of these vast coal banks is as fine
as any in the State. e. .ra

STOCK.

The means for feeding stock are so
abundant in all parts of Kansas, that it
costs little to raise cattle, horses or
sheep, in comparison to what it does in
some of the older States. The conse-
quence is, it will become one of the
finest stock countries in the world.
They have all the natural resources to
make it so. Already numerous stock
farms are opened, where the improved
breeds are cultivated with all the care
for fine stock you see in Keutucy or
Ohio, and it is only question of time
when Kansas becomes one of the great
est stock-faising States in the Union.
| Sheep, cattle and horses can be raised
| so cheap, that it viii be the most lucra-
tive business any farmer can engage in.
The native stock form only a part OF
/ the cattle trade of Kansas. The Texas
stock has become vast trade, on the line
of the Kansas Pacific Railroad, es.
pecially in Dickinson and Shine cOnn-
/ ties. The shipments from Abilene and
other points. reached over one hundred
| thousand head, last year. Vast mum.

SOIL, CULTURE AND CROPS.


Kansas has undoubtedly vastly
greater proportion of rich soil to- the
bad, good land to the poor, or waste,
than any State in the Union, unless you
consider the vast plains of Western
Kansas useless but they will no doubt,
at no distant day, exchange the vast
herds of Buffalo that roam over them
now, for immense flOcks of cattle and
sheep, which will become a valuable
production to the State. The immense
growth of praire grass,.in all parts of
the State. not only proves rich soil but
its wonderful power of production, so
no one need wonder that the Indian and
the Buffalo dislike to surrender the
broad praries of Kanaas to the domin-
ion of civilization and christianity. The
broadside bottom lands, along all the
streams of the State, viii compare ia
vorably with those ofTowa and Illinois.
As far as the soil of Kansas has been
cultivated, its capacity for production
stands unrivalled. Statistics show it
equal to any State. That there may
have been draw backs, incident to all
now countries, we have no doubt. 1t

outh Rock it was so in the early set
Element of Virginia and Ohio, III Illinois
and Iowa. There were complaints OF
drouths and floods, of frosts and winds,
of grass-hoppers,sb bugs, squirrels, grubs,
&c So it has been with Kansas, and in
the face of all the cry about drouths in
Kansas, that they were SO universal and
constant that nothing could be raised, I
have seen more rain, am certain, III
