Reporter-Do you think the people

THE Moonlight Festival given BY the
ladies of the Presbyterian Society was
a success, if one may base their estimate
upon the fact of there being large
crowd present, and that every one
seemed well pleased and satisfied. The
music given by the Paw Paw Brass
Band was excellent, and we are sure
that i; was appreciated by our citizens.
The members of the Band deserve great

Sewing Machine Sales for 10

Still Triumphant!

Iu 1869 we sold, as our readers will remem-

[1S70] 1888 machines showing an excess
beyond the sales of 1869, of over forty thousand
and as shown by the table below, over Al, 600

From the above figures it will be seen that
our rivals in trade are far behind us, that the
popularity of what is known as our NEW
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE is steadily and
LARGELY increasing. We are not so vain as to
suppose that these large sales are due to supe
rior business capacity so much as to the merits
Of or machines, as well as the observation of
those who buy and use, and are personally in
terested in comparing the merits of the differ
ent machines before making selection.
Few have denied, in fact ii has been the hab
it o sewing machine dealers, till recently, to
speak in laudation of our manuti curing ma
chimes, but in the same breath to deny the
merits Of our machine for family sewing. 1t
was usual to say to lady looking for sew
ing machine, IF, madam, you want manu-.
featuring machine, the Singer is the best, as
if We made but one kind of machine only, and
had no Family sewing machine at ALL though
our " Neic Family" was our greatest triumph,
and even then the favorite, ever ready and
never wearying seamstress OF many a well reg
ulated household Our machine. however, told
ats own story in the great range and variety Of
excellent and beautiful family sewing which it
is capable OF doing, and the sales show that its
story was not entirely disbelieved or we would
not have sold last year 127 1888 machines, being
more than twice as many machines as there are
words in the English language, and all this has
been accomplished with little aid from exhibit
lions and fairs, excepting only the worlds fair

nation:
''The process of the seasons has again

generally well rewarded. We are at peace
with all nations; tranquility, with few ex-
ceptions, prevails at home. Within the
past year we have in the main been free
from the ills which elsewhere affected our
kind. If some of US have had calamities,
they should be the occasion for sympathy
with the sufferers of resignation on their
part to the will ofthe Most High, rejoicing
tc many who have. been more favored. l
thSrefore recommend that Thursday, the
Both day of November, next, the people
meet in their respective places of worship,
to make the usual Acknowledgements to
Almighty God for the blessings He has
conferred upon them, in their merciful ex-
emptiOn from evils; invoke His protection
and kindness for their less fortunate breth-
ren, whom, in His wisdom, He deemed ii
best to chastise- In the faith whereof, /

The Wilmington Gazette, for the

by our neighbor, w. c. Gould, of the
Register, of this place, and his son,
played out with last weeks issue, and
Wilmington is again without that much
needed and influential institution,

the agonizing groans of the editors in
their dying moments, they yielded up
ihe ghost with no pleasant feelings
toward the ruling Democratic element
in Clinton county. The editors, in
their Valedictory, say that ''the suspen-
sion of the paper arises from the fact
that some who profess to be Demo
Gratis, have, ever since we assumed
control of the Gazette, bPen clandes-

played the part of lick spittle to any

the Democracy, VIC preferred to relin
quish the paper rather than succeed

Whisky Cases in Court.


The following paragraph is from
the Hillsborough News OF last week:
'.AH the other criminal cases on the
docket, which we're mostly for selling |
liquor, were continued to next term.
That is about the way violations of
the law for the prevention of this whis-
ky traffic have been disposed of in this
judicial district for number of years,
and an indictment for selling intoxi-
eating liquors in violation of law, has
become to be regarded as farce. In
the first place, several months after
the violation Of the law, the complaint
is brought before = grand jury, who,
after hearing the evidence on only
cne side, find an indictment par.
ties arrested, witnesses sub?enaed to
attend the next Court of Common
Pleas, which is four or five months in
the future: at that time the defend: nj
and witnesses (maybe) attend; b,.t no
trial of the case /, had; but as in the
case at Hillshorough noted above,
they. are ''cont'nHed to nert term,"
which is four or five months further
on in the future. The next term, how
ever, comes, and the defendant comes
also but what of the witnesses Do
they come Not always, Some Of them
are dead, some of them have left the
country, and none are in court but
who have memories that run
back as far as the time when the of.
fense against the law was committed,
which, as we have remarked, was be
fore the sitting of the grand jury, six.
eight, and maybe twelve months before
the last appearance of the defendant
The consequence is that the State is
unable to sustain its case, although
nobody has shadow of doubt as to
the guilt of the defendant. The case
is either thrown out of court or lost
for want of competent testimony and
who pays the costs Why, the people,
Of course.
| Now, is there no remedy for this
We think there is, but not under the
Constitution of our State as it is at
present; hence, we favor an amend
ment to our Constitution Such one
as will authorize the establishment d
court that shall have Jurisdiction il
all minor criminal cases. Such an
amendment as will give Justices of the
Peace, and Mayors of cities and vii
lagos, authority to try and make final
disposition of all these whisky viola
tions of law. They should be dis
posed of without delay, and that too
in the township, city or village where
the offense is committed; where the
witnesses ale convenient, and befor,
their treacherous memories forsakc
them. If this could be done, we thinl
it wound save a great amount of ex
pense to the people, and be much more
efficient than the present round about
way of reaching justice.
Now, let US ask who could object t.
this summary and common sense mod
of disposing of these cases? Why
nobody only those who wish to vic
late law, and those who feel no inter
est in the moral Improvement of on
race. It's an easy thing TO avoid tn
rigor of the law, but then as Pope po
etically expresses it,
mo rogue e'er felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.''
But who cares about the opinion
the rogus has for the law.

torial management of our old friend,
w. Fl. P.Denney. In addition to the
natural qualifications for the business,
MFR. D. has the advantage of many
years experience in the newspaper
business, which enables him to make
a first class county newspaper. He is
Rpractical printer, too, and that gives
him on advantage over any one who
undertakes to publish a newspaper
without a knowledge of the art. We
welcome our old friend back TO the ed

own experience that on old editor ant
