GINGER FAMILY SEWING MACHINES

The demand for this favorte SEWING MA
CHINE is still increasing, and the great number
sold in this city during the past year is without
precedent. The machine is question is simple,
compact, durable and beautiful, and Is beyond
doubt less liable to get out of order than any
machine claiming public attention, and can be
operated by a child. The sales of this machnvs
since its introduction have steadily increased,
leaving all competitors far behind. This fact
alone Is proof Of its superior merits over all
other machines Over one hundred and fifty in
daily use in this city, giving universal satistac-
ton. For references examine my books and
Judge for yourself. Machines sold on the most
liberal terms, and satisfaction guaranteed in ev-

Al 10 the cause Of the earthquake pho
nemsnoa there is diversity Of opinion.
L do mot profess to be . " sharp on the
question but have an opinion which
/ belongs to me in relation to the matter.
Whatever the cause may be it 10 undeni-
abba that the earthquake phenomenonis
. chronic trouble in the EartA's bowels.
1t has been afflicted with The same Dis
order from its early history to the pres
ent time. and it il ne worse now than
Formerly. It may result from bilious Be-
cretions, and it may not. Iwouldn't
give an opinion ~ 10 that A cure il, in
all probability, entirely out Of the ques-
ton at this late period Of its existence:
but since . big hole is now opened wide
and deep over in I.ye i might be well
enough, just for an experiment to drop
in few bottles Of DR.. Walkers Cali
fornia Vinegar Bitters." II the said Bit
ters can't cure the earthquake it il the
only distsmper they are not able to kill.
that is according to the recommendation
of the doctor.
Excepting the earthquake affair, there
il nothing new or interesting to eemna-
nicate from this quarter. There is such
. sameness in the quake" Of things
other than the-earth itseM, that one story
Of their situation holds good for = long
time. Since the almost total exhaustion
of the Common placer diggings, our pop
ulation has become very much diminish
ed and society has undergone . sort of
chrystaliziug process which causes .
staid and dali appearance in matters and
things generally in all the old mining
counties. Where all was once life, bus.
tie and excitement everything is now
ifeless, dull and dreary. can't say
that think these interior, mined-out
counties have any hattering prospects
in the future. hold that without arti-
fetal irrigation the country hereabouts
is uninhabitable by civilized people,
Water is now rum BY ditch companies
for the prosecution of mining operations
and farmers and gardeners manage to
get some Of it 1t small cost, but when
mining operations fail to sustain these
companies. which is about the situation
Of matters already. tho profits Of any
thing depending upon artificial irriga-
tion for its production will not be sufi-
cient to maintain the ditches. The want
Of water during the hot. dry season will
eventually compel us to "vamos the
ranch" Such are the opinions Of
SLUYcE FoRx.
