MORE ABOUT SEWING MACHINES.
Common Sense-Startling Disclosures
Read Carefully, it will astonish, prof.
it, and crafty you.

The manufacturers and agents in the interest
of other Sewing Machines, represent that the
AMERICAN SEWING MACHINE is of no account
That it will wear out in a short time and advise
persons desiring to purchase Sewing Machines to

can" The reason they SO falsely represent the
American Buttonhole and Overcoming Sewing
Machine, is that their bread and butter depends
upon 1t, for wherever the American is introduced,
its reputation is established and the calling ofits
enemies ended. as people viii buy no other Ma.

that any other than first class machine would be
total failure and bring financial ruin to its stock
holders chagrin and modification to it's officers
and great satisfaction to its enemies and competi

is a true test the Wheeler & Wilson is the second

the HERALD about Sewing Machines. People at
this time and age Of the world are not so easily
humbugged; they read and think for themselves.
Now in conclusion have only this to say: Be-
fore buying Sewing Machine, examine every
one in the market and make hote of everything
that is said detrimental to the American Machine

NEW SHARoN-A short visit last week
to that village, opened our eyes to the nu-
merous improvements going on. Among
those we remember are the following: Mr..
Judd, cottage near the depot; Sherm. Hunt,
near his agricultural warehouse H. P.
Cobbs, two story dwelling near depot Da-
vid Stanton, two story cottage style, north
of MAYORS store; A. w. MAYORS two sto-
~, splendid cottage, well built and got up
in good style; AID Hill, neat one story
dwelling; James w. Watson, large two
story frame dwelling in south part OF
town the Mr.. Bowdles have each nice
frame dwelling in south part of town Mr.
Wells of Wright & Wells neat dwelling,
and there are many others whose
buildings We did not get in our
hurry. H.T. Wright has erected fine
two story brick business house, about COX
80, iron front, which he is finishing off in
good style for the reception of the stock of
hardware of Wright & Wells. This build
ing is the first brick in the town and adds
much to its appearance. On the outside is
an iron stairway similar to our own, put
up by Thos. Sewers of Oskaloosa Ma
chine shops, and fine job it is, just as
nice as the work from any other town and
cheaper than the generality of such work.
The new Methodist church is fine build
ing and reflects much credit upon the
builders 1t is large and commodious, and
with the prospective steeple surrounding
will present truly imposing appearance.

est little town we used to visit few years

There will be Mass County Sabbath
School Convention held at the City of Os-
kaloosa, commencing at 7 O'Clock on the
evening of the Goth day of August next,
and continue through the two following
days and evenings. Let it be distinctly un-
derstood, that it is to be Mass conven-
ton, and that every Sabbath School in the
county, of whatever denomination, is ex-
pected to send up a large torce-aot of
delegates, but of members and friends of
the respective schools that we may have
sweet and profitable council together.
As the movement is in its incipiency the
convention will not be able to give as full
statistics as may be given at another time;
but the undersigned committee hopes that
all the schools of the county will come pre-
pared TO make the best possible statistical re-
ports within their power. The Sabbath
School work is one of deepest interest 10
the welfare of the rising generation and
the country. This being true it is sim
cerely hoped and confidently expected
that the friends Off the cause throughout the
county will attend the proposed conven-
ton in large numbers, and all come expect
ing to take some active part in its delibera-
tons. More details and particulars will be
given in due time

Hon. NJ. NJ. WALDEN has made fine
record as Congressman, and it is fair to
presume will make better on his second
term. 1t has always been the custom in
Iowa to send the Congressman at least two
terms. When d man has made as good a
record as MIR. Walden has, we think it
should be adhered to. The only objection
We hear urged against this just method is
by the friends of Il man who has already
served four years IN that place, and twelve
Years in other places ofprofit.

DIES MONIES TOWNSHIP.

Proceeding eastward from Jefferson, I
entered the township of Des Moines, one
of the square townships ofthe county. The
river divides this township almost exactly
in halves, running diagoDally across it,
from north west to southeast. In my re-
marks shall designate The two parts as
East and West Des Moines. The latter
commanded my attention for day or two.
My first call was on your "sem-occason-
al" correspondent, Mr., John Taylor. Mr..
Il. is mar whom to know is a pleasure.
With him as my ehaperoa, visited several
points of interest; called on Mr.. II. J.
Truax, a good farmer reader and patron
of the HERALD, and a genial and intelli-
gent talker. Both he and Mr. T. were
facilitating themselves over the fact that
our Board of Supervisors had ordered The
building OF a bridge at this point, over
Bluff Creek, which becomes quite stream
as. it nears the Des Moines river. Visited
- school, well taught by Miss Wylie
Here found Supt. Baker, watching the
progress of the school, and as usual sug-
costing improvements, and giving encour-
aeement to both teacher and scholars. Mr..
B. is always on the alert, and is working
with Is will to perfect the schools of the
county. After hearing some very good
Rotations from the scholars, the school
was called to order, and to my consterna-
tiop was called upon for speech. Now
speech making is not my forte, but as a
representative of the HERALD, of Oskaloo-
sa, Germs, So 90 year in advance) con-
sented, and made my best endeavor, at
which the children seemed pleased-and
so did I.
West Des Moines possesses some very
beautiful country, well settled with good
farmers, whose houses and barns loom ND
on every hand as unmistakable evidence
of an industrious people, and fruitful
soil. The lands lying next the river are
especially rich and fertile, and sufficiently
high to not be disturbed by the overflow.
Eddyville is the trading point of the great
majority of the people in the south and
south western part Of this TIP. The polit-
