a man will keep his feet warm always
and never allow himself to be chilled, he
will never take cold In lifetime. and this
can only be accomplished by due care IN
warm clothing and the avoidance Of

perhaps the majority arise from persons

A WORD In REGARD
TO THE
Sewing Machine Business

THE SEWING MACHINE is one of the
greatest improvements of the age, and at this
day and age of the world every family must
and will have one. This fact appears to he
perfectly understood by all Sewing Machine
Companies, consequently every company is
making every effort in their power to put
their machines forward, and to make sales as
rapidly as possible. They employ every per-
son they can get, and three-fourths of those
employed are not fit for the business, conse-
quently the country is now overrun with men
and boys representing themselves as Sewing
Machine Agents, and everyone claiming to have
the best machine, when, in fact, they know
nothing about machines, consequently the
business has become q nuisance-it is over
done and overrun with unprincipled agents,
and almost every farmer breads to see one
stop at his gate.
But to lay all prejudice aside, the New VIII
son is the only First-class Machine in America
that is sold at a reasonable price; a price with
in the reach Of every family. The New Will
son stands to-day at the head as being the best.
the simplest, the easiest to manage, the most
durable, and by far the cheapest The Wilson
now costs So 90 more to manufacture than anv
other machine in America, and is sold for
$500 less than any other first-class machine.
This simply because it is not in the HCom-
bination." This machine is sold for lust what
it is worth, while all others are sold from
$500 to $4,000 more than they are worth.
The undersigned has been selling the Will
son for one year at his Grocery and Crockery
Store in Fremont, and has sold Five Hundred
Machines, and nearly all have been sold in
Sandusky County, and 1 have never yet had
an agent out soliciting sales or boring the peo-
pie to buy. Every machine has been ordered.
This, think, is the largest sale that has ever
been made in the county. This fact of itself
is certainly sufficient evidence that the ma
chine is good one. Ali other companies have
drummed and bored the people nearly to
death to sell their machines, and in very many
instances people have bought simply TO get rid
of the agent Now, we claim that the proper
way, and the only way, to buy machine, is to
go town and see and try all the machines and
select for yourself-buy machine in the same
way that you buy dress, or a set of dishes,
or dollars worth of sugar There are now
some six or eight different kinds of Sewing
Machines represented in this city, try them
all, select for yourself, and do not be hum
bugged by agents, and nine out of every ten

Advertising alone does not produce success.
The thing which is advertised must have in.
t,'ii'sic MERIT, or else large advertising will
eventually do it more harm than good. If
you have anything which you know to be
good, advertise It thoroughly, and you will be
sure to succeed; If it is poor, don't praise it,
for people will soon discover you are lying.
Such is the policy of the BURLINGTON
ROUTE, which runs to three great regions in
the West: lst, To Omaha, connecting with
the great Pacific Roads. I'd, To Lincoln, the
capital of Nebraska, and all that beautiful re-
gion south of the Platte, filled with R. R.
lands and hOmesteads. Sd, To Saint Joseph,
Kansas City and all Kansas points.
The roads are splendidly built, have the best
bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform and
coupler, and the safety air brake Ito prevent
the loss of life that is every where else happen
ing); Pullman's sleepers, Pullman dining cars,
large and powerful engines TO make quick
time and good connections,) and are in a word
the best equipped roads in the West. So that
if you desire to go safely, surely, quickly and
comfortable to any point in Southern Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, or on the Pacific Roads, be
sure that gou go "By Way of Burlington"

Bow Shot.-On F1da

Boy Shot.-On Friday evening last two
boys named John Kalp and Daniel Mccarthy
had difficulty as to the owner ship of a pis-
tol which Mccarthy had in his possession. It
appears that Kalp claimed it, and attempted
to get possession of If, when Mccarthy re-
treated into the house closing the door, and
then to frighten Kalp away, fired the pistol,
which was heavily loaded. Some of the shot
passed through the door and lodged in YOU 2
Kalp's throat, inficting a severe wound. Nc
Carthy, who was arrested and committed 10
jail till Monday, to await the result of the in
jury, claimed that the pistol discharged while
he was in the act of cooking it, and that his
intention was to have fired at the floor. The
practice of carrying pistols by boys is very
reprehensible one, and it is only singular that
not more such shooting affrays do not occur.

Premature-The announcement in last
weeks Messenger that arrangements were
about completed for the erection of handle
factory at this place. Overtures have been
made by parties to come here If a certain
amount of stock can be raised. As yet on Y
abeut haIfthe desired amount has been pledged
and the balance may or may not be, owing
to the amount of interest which our citizens
may manifest. It is hardly probable the
works will come here unless the desired
amount can be secured, and our citizens should
make an effort to secure it; first, because it is
profitable business, and second because it
employs larger number of hands for the
capital use than perhaps any other business
yet established here. Persons wishing infor-
nation in regard to it, and willing to help
secure it here, shooId call upon the editor Of
this paper.
