TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
j. the fist time in an extended way, the +. +.
(FAMILY FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST: a $50.
BECAUSE before being offered to the people,
1t was tested by able sewing machinists, and by
them pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1857
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, IL will do what any other first
class lock-stitch will do; e6
BECAUSE, 1t will do what most of them can
| not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years It has been before
the people, the sale has been SO rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give a womans reason, - -z
BECAUSE, it is just little darling" and so
easy to learn.
Price the same as any other first-class machine.
Sold on the instalment plan, If desired.

The Continental RailrOad.-TwO
weeks ago we published the report
setting forth the advantages Of the
projected Continental Railway over
all other east and west routes from
New York to Council Bluffs. The re-
port was prepared by Mr. Abbott, who
is an experienced engineer, and has
been working up this line for over
two years. This gentleman arrived
in this city on Saturday and spent
several days here in consulting with
our railroad men. He says that a
Company, with a capital Of SI0,OO0,-
O0O. has been organized 70 build the
road, and the project is to be put in
such shape Immediately as to enable
work TO be commenced IN the early
part Of the spring. The first work is
to be done between Chicago and Ak
ron, and s., 1000, 900 have been set apart
by the Company for the work. He
proposes TO grade a double track route
between the two points before the
opening ofnext winter and 10 have one
track laid with steel rails. Several
western gentlemen met Mr.. Abbott
here and made arrangements 70 Sc
cure right Of way, depot grounds and
local aid on the route. West Of Tifiin
the road takes the old Clinton Air
Line, as it also will probably east Of
this city.
This is an immense project, and the
proposed route is an air line between
Council Bluffs, Tiffin and New York.
It is no visionary scheme, as the
company is composed Of leading New
York capitalists, its attorneys are lead
ing and able firm. It has several large
and extensive grounds for water ports
at the eastern terminus, where wharfs
will be built that will enable the larg-
est vessels to load from the cars. Alto
gether it is a wonderful project and per-
fectly feasible. Local aid thus far has
been easily secured, and Mr.. Abbott is
saEguine that he will be enabled TO
open the work very soon. Previous
to commencing the general work a
telegraph line will be built for the Use
Of the engineers and contractors.
In due time full statementof what
is expected from this county will be
given and We expect to see our peo-
pie come squarely up TO the work.

Real Estate Transfers for the week
ending Saturday last.

Although rather early in the season
for that line of goods, yet the sudden
rise in the cost of all woOlen fabrics
has created a sort Of panic among
those in need of carpets. During the
past week F. K. Shawhan & Co., have
been kept very busy in that depart
ment. The fact is that shreWd buyers
know that when the present stock is
sold that prices will be considerably
higher than now, and as the styles
now ia store are Of the most modern
patterns they would only lose by
waiting.

The Missouri Democrat remarks {:
Judge David Davis, it may be said,
has little faith in the direction of the
Democratic party, notwithstanding he
is likely now to be its candidate for
the Presidency. A few months ago
he was told that the Democrats would
probably nominate him. He quietly
remarked: No, sir; I don't think
they viii. They haven't sense enough
to do that"

Since the organization of our Gov
eminent there has been but one in
stance in which a Vice President has
served two successive terms. Daniel
d. Tompkins, of New York, who
served as Vice President during the
two terms of Mr.. MOnrOe's Presidency,
is the exceptional case. Should Mr..
Colfax be re-nominated and re-eleet-

stance of the kind in our history as a
