a carefully prepared statement of the
aggregate cost 10 the country of our.

In round numbers this is nine thou

the country is nine thousand million dol

THIRTY YEARS
Have elapsed since the introduction of the PAIN
KILLER to the public, and yet at the present
time it is more popular and commands a larger
sale than ever before. Its popularity is not con-
fined to this country alone all over the world
its beneficial effects in curing the :" ills that flesh
is heir to, are acknowledged and appreciated
and as IA pam killer its fame is limited to no
sect nor race. 1t needs only to be
known to be priced. Thirty years is certainly a
long enough time to prove the efficacy of any
medicine, and that the Pain Killer is deserving
of all its proprietors claim for it, is amply proved
by the unparalleled popularity it has attained.
1t is sure and effective remedy. Sold by all
druggists. Price, 20 cts, 80 cts, and ST per

The Machine which bears the name of Elias
Howe, Jr., has long been regarded as the stand
ard of excellence, and has become celebrated
the world over. The work done by these Ma
chimes is unsurpassed-sewing the thinest mus
lin or the thickest cloth with equal facility and
requiring extra adjusting for uneven thick
ness or passing over seams; IT turns its own
hem as it sews sewing seam stronger than the
fabric itself. TO see it hem, fell, tuck, braid,
cord, quit and gather, it seems more like thing
of life than machine moved 10y the will of the
operator 1t is capable of doing every descrip-
ton Of sewing that is required in a family and
also for seamstrcsses and dressmakers it will be
found invaluable. They seldom, or never give
any trouble in operating, and in word, are the
most satisfactory Seung Ndchines IN use.
Notwithstanding their great superiority they
are sold at prices rs low as other drst-class ma
chimes.
A Medallion likeness Of Mr.. Howe is embedded
in the plates of every Howe Machine, without
which none are genuine. Every purchaser of II
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elias Howe,
Jr's Sewing Machine, aud if they are not sold in
their vicinity, address the General Agency for
illustrated, etc, and do not purchase until You
have thoroughly investigated these renowned
machines.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
The Fourth at weavervilIe.

The fourth of July was observed at Weaver.
Vile in accordance with the announcement made
in our columns last week. A large and respect
able audience attended at the theatre and at
half past ten o'clock A. M, were called to order
by Hon. John McMurry, President of the day.
The exercises were opened by fervent prayer
offered by Rev. NJ. 7. Farnham, after which the
choir sang the national ode entitled L" Hail our
Countrys Natal Morn" The declaration of in
dependence was next impressively read by f. II.
Brown, Esq, followed by the patriotic air
"Glorious Day of Liberty" sang by the choir.
Il. F. Allen, Esq. was then introduced and pro-
ceeded to deliver eloquent, practical and pa
triotic address. The length of Mr.. Aliens ora
ton precludes its publication in our columns,
but in our opinion (and we believe all who
listened with us will concur) it was production
of which he may well be proud. Free from the
higk-hown nousenscal, bombastic flights into
the realms of rhetoric, which generally charact-
erze fourth of July oratory, Mr.. Aliens re-
marks were eminently appropriate to the occa-
sion, beug mainly confined to an interesting re-
view of our history a nation down to the pres
ent time, an analysis of the causes from which
spring unparalleled prosperity and reasona-
BILE conjectures concerning the future importance
and grandeur of our glorious republic. The
speaker was frequently applauded. The exer-
cises closed at noon with music by the choir
song-"U Up with the Flag" After dinner the
races were the most prominent topic, and con-
siderable betting took place in the different sa-
looms About three o'clock the crowd began to
find its way to the race track. There were four
races in all, beginning at about 4 o'clock and
run in the following order; First between NJ
ii. Lowden's gray horse and bay mare belong
in Humboldt two hundred yards; for purse
of $l5. The gray won. Second, McWhorter' S
"Pompey" and Humboldt nag, four hup6red
yards, for a purse of $50. Pompey" came
out good ways ahead. Next, the ''Queen of
Red Hill " and " IIoopa Dick " took run
through the track for So. The Queen" !" though
defeated at Junction City, won this time by
few feet, and hackers of 90 iIoopa Dick " were
out. Lastly, John Hoar's black horse, James
E&gee0mbe's bay and NJ. w. Lowdcn' gray ran
through the track for a purse of $25. The
black took the purse, Edgecombe's horse second,
the gray bringing up the rear The races over
everybody went away hot and tired, the day be-
iag of unusual heat.
