SEWING MACHINE
rHE AMERICAN BUTTON HOLE,
OVERSEAMING AND
SOWING Machine.

The following are the reasons why this Is the
best Family Machine to Purchase:
/. Because it will do EVERY THING that any
machine can do. Sewing from the hncst 10 lne
coarscst material. hemmng, Telling, cordlng,
braidng. binding. gathering and sewing on AT me
time, rnilling, quilting. &C, better ihah any
Other machine.
>. Because the tensions are more easily aoJust-
ed than any other machine.
3. Because it can work beautiful button mole,
making fine pearl as by hand.
A. Because it will embr0ider over the cage,
making neat and beautiful border on any gar
ment.
+ Because it will work beautiful eyclet hole.
6. Because it can do overland scanning, by
which sheets, pilcw cases and the like are sewed
over and over.
{. Because we can quickly raise or lower the
feed. to adapt il 10 thick or thin cloth.
ssF- The reasons, Nos. ,, 4, 8, G and I no other
machine can do.
S. Because we have shot. deep bobbin, by
which the thread is constantly drawing from the
center, the tension is consequently even. ana Goes
not break the thread.
9. Because we do away with the shuttle rack
and the shuttle race, which in other machines
cause much friction and wear.
TO- Because the presser foot turns back so that
the cloth can be easily removed after being sewed
H. Because we can lengthcn aud shorten the
stitch while the machine is in operation
IL. Because it RUNS EASIER than any other
IS. Because the BEST MECHANICS pronounce
il the BEST FINISHED and made on the BESI
PRINClPLE Ot AM MAtiliNE MaN y ~
TURED. 1t has no springs to break, nothing to
get out of order
IA. Because it is two machines in one, BUT
TON HOLE WORKING and SEWING MACHINE
combined.
Parties using family Sewing Machine, want a
WHOLE MACHINE, one with all the improve
mcnts. 1t is to last LIFETIME, and therefore
they want the one that will do the most work and
do il the best, and this machine can do several
kinds of sewing not done ANY OTHER MA
CHINE, besides doing every kind all others can
do.
Is. Because sell the BEST MACHINE for
the LOWEST PRICE.
This celebrated machine is now on exhibition In

off much to the satisfaction and pleasure
of the large crowd in attendance. There
were none of the kings of the turf on the

evenly contested and productive of as
much excitement and interest as though
the time had been "down in the teens"

It must be a rule that everybody likes
to trade where their neighbors buy their
goods, otherwise the New York Store
would not be doing all the dry goods
business in the city, as was remarked the
other day.
The citizens of the county appreciate
the way the new firm of Lawton Bros d
Post do their business, and show their
appreciation in substantial way by do
ing their cash buying there. They, how
ever, are quite likely led the more from
the fact of knowing that they buy cheap
er and better goods than elsewhere.

County Fair.

1t gives us great deal of pleasure to
announce that the arrangements are al
most perfected for County Fair, this
fall, which will make amends for the past
remissness of our county in this regard.
The fair grounds now being in the hands
of purely Agricultural society, without
suspicion of a speculation in it, the
farmers are cvincing a decided interest
in the matter of fair, and will undoubt-
edly take hold heartily and propel it to a
successful issue.
At meeting of the Agricultural So
ciety held last evening, at the Office of
Lake & Harmon, it was determined to
hold the County Fair on the 9th, 2Sth
and goth of September. The Premium
List will appear in the BULLETIN next
week The price Of membership has
been fixed at 81, emitting the party to
compete for any Of the premiums offered
and to admission to the grounds at any
time during the Fair.
Suitable buildings will be erected for a
Floral Hall, and an ample number of
stalls and pens will be provided for
horses, cattle and other animals. Hay
will be provided by the Society on the
grounds, free of charge, for all animals
on exhibition
Let every citizen and farmer go to
work and make preparation for the Fair;
that we may have this fall an exhibition
of our products and handiwork worthy
of Buchanan county.

A SUGGEsTIoN.-Ast the number Of can
didates for county offices before the Re
publican convention promises to be large,
we have thought that it might be proper
to suggest to all such that very appro
pirate if not u prerequisite preparation
for such candidacy would be to show
their willingness to support Republican
principles by subscribing for the newspa-
per organ of the party; or if tLcy are al
ready subscribers, and in arrears, by
stepping up to the Captains office and
souaring accounts. That man is a phe-
nomenon of obtuseness who cannot see
the inconsistency of asking office of a
party whose machinery he is not willing
to oil to the extent Of subscribing and
paying for its accredited organ.

FOURTH AT JESUP.
JEsuP, July 9Th, 1871

JEsUP, July 5th, 1871.
AT union meeting of the Sabbath
Schools of this place, it was decided to
have Union Sunday School Picnic on
the Fourth of July.
The grove on the east side of the river,
near Littleton, was the place chosen for
the gathering An invitation was ex-
tended to all neighboring schools to unite
in the celebration.
The morning of the day in question
dawned, the sky was clear, and the gen
tie breeZes made the prospects for the
day very attractive. At an early hour
teams commenced to arrive from the i'm
mediate vicinity, and at o'clock the pro-
cession was formed and soon took up it's
march over the wide spread prairie which
lies between our prairie village and the
wood -skirted Wapsie. From an emf
hence on the line Of march one in adj
vance could have seen teams advancing
in the procession for a distance of nearly
two miles. The ground having been
reached, wagons and carriages were re-
lieved of their loads and horses securely
fastened. Then began the busy time.
Some were at work preparing lemonade,
which was provided by the barrel, others
selecting places for swings, and still 9th
crs arranging platform tor music and
speeches. All of which having been COM
pleted, the people were collected together
as much as possible, and the President OF
the Day announced the programme,
which consisted of music by the Jesup
choir and by the Sabbath School scholars
of the different schools there represented;
prayer by Rev. J. M. Boggs; briefspecch-
es by several of our citizens, after which
dinner was announced and partaken of
with relish, which only good ramblc
in the woods can give.
At the close of the dinner hour, when
the fragments had been gathered into
baskets, singing was commenced, by a
class of twenty four little girls under the
superintendent of Mrs. A. S. Thomas.
The performance was a creditable one.
The interest which Mrs r. takes in i'm
parting instruction to the young of this
place is truly commendable. Then com
menced again the play time for the
children. The half dozen swings were
kept in constant use. Some took short
excursions in the woods; others played
along the bank of the river, skipping
stones into the ripping waters so soft
and clear.
Thus was the day passed until the time
came for returning home. No accident
occurred and all expressed themselves
well pleased with the celebration in the
grove. *#*
