Desy- One of the most ingenious little con-
trivances that has come under our observation
in many long day, and one too of real value
to its possessor, is "Palmer's Patent Automatic
Bobbin Winder," for Shuttle Sewing Machines
The Winder takes up but little more room
than the ordinary Winder in use, and can be
readily attached to any Shuttle Machine, with
out either marring the Machine or interfering
in the least with the operator while at work.
It's great advantages are, that it does away
with all necessity for stopping to wind bobbins;
you have but to put the bobbin in the winder,
as in the ordinary windcr, and go on with yonr
work of sewing when the bobbin is full, the
Machine, being automatic, disconnects itself
from the driving wheel and you have your
bobbin wound as smoothly and evenly as the
best spool of cotton you can purchase at the
stores The bobbins wound by this simple in
vention, contain at least one-third more thread
than can possibly be got on them when wound
by the usual winder; and being more even af-
furds a more regular strain on the
thread, thus securing a more even ten
sion in the sewing and making the
lock stitch vastly more perfect than any
other. Some one of our enterprising Sewing
Machine Agents should secure supply of
these winders, as we are certain they could find
ready sale for them. In the meantime any of
our readers having shuttle Machines can
readily secure one by Express on Addressing,

SrRoupspCRG, MAY I'd.

SlSOCDSBInD, -N'
Mr.. EDITOR in view of the approach
ing 3oth of May-decoration day-the writer
desires to inquire through tie columns o.yonr
valuable paper, what preparations are being
made for proper observance of that day III
Stroudsburg. 1t is truethat the order known
as the "Grand Army of the Republic" once IN
a fourshiEg condition in our midst, has be-
come ,defunct institution, which, alas, Is
the fate of entirely too many enterprises OF a
similar character that are started among us.
The fact, however that such an order does not
exist in our midst, should not be taken as an
excuse for permitting the day to pass by with
out paying some tribute of respect to the men,
ory of our fallen heroes. And what more be-
fitting, and yet simple, manner could be devils
ed, than to visit the various cemeteries on that
dav, and strew wreaihs and garlands Of flowers
upon the graves of those who laid down their
lives in defence of their country's honor. A
!ukewarmness, in this respect, is entirely too
apparent among our citizens.
While the day was appropriately observed
last year in every other village and hamlet
y,
ion that not one flower was strewn, nor one tear
shead, over the grave of single hero who
sleeps beneath the sods in our several cem-
ateries Was this because of their surviving
comrades failing to manifest the interest to-
ward their fallen comrades that they should
have done, or has all the love and gratitude
once extended to those brave boys ceased to
| exist within the breasts of our citizens? These
arc questions which concern one and all, and
should be seriously reflected upon. In the hour
of dangers when our country was greatly I'M
periIled and the old flag had been grossly i'm
suited by rebels and traitors, these brave men
left their homes and all that was near and dear
to them, to endure the hardships, priyations
and dangers of the camp and battle, that theiI
country might, in the future as in the past be
free and prosperous. Thousands upon thous-
ands to-day fill unknown graves in various
localities in the South, to whom no tribute OF
respect can be paid, except the silent tear
dropped by some near and dear relative OF
friend who survives them. There were how
ever, a large number who were fortunate
enough to reach their homes and receive chris
tian burial, and to permit this one day in the
year, set apart and especially designated
Decoration Day." to pass by unobserved and
unnoticed, stamps q stain upon any commun
ity, that time can never erase. The Grand
Army of the Republic throughout the country
are already making extensive preparations fol
proper observance of that day, and, as nc
such order exists in Stroudsburg, let our cit
zens one and all, associate themselves together
for this purpose. Let each man, woman and
child, foIm a wreath, weave garland, or pluck
bouquet, of the choicest flowers they can find
and so silently into the cemetery and streW
the flowers and shed silent tear upon the
grave Of some loved one. Let it not be said
that the people Of Stroudsburg again permitted
/ this day to pass by unobserved. SoLoN.
