1TIHE EUREKA CORN PLANTER.
THIs NEW CORN PLANTER,

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by II. M Smith s CO, accom-
plshes what has always been a desideratum In
Corn Planters, namely absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted and as to the dis
lance between the hills. sElal
All planters, depending upon blush to keep
back the eorn are liable to variation as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
increases the quantity dropped.
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
siiy Of it, and insures ABSOLUTE REGU-
LARTrY in the Lumber of grains deposited.
IT is THE BEST CORN PLANTER IN USE.
The following unsolicited praise, expresses the
opinion of all vino have used it:
ISGLEsIDE, HANOVER, April %, 1870.

GRSTLEMEN,-Mr. Robinson on yesterday put
your Corn Planter to work. He says it is the
only planter he has ever seen that he would
work. We have at New Castle two other plant
ers, but would not use them MIR. Robinson. Mr..
Rullin, DIR. Dupee and Mr.. Ashlin were all pre-
sent, and all preferred this-"Smith's Planter
TO any they have ever seen work. We had near

COMING HOME,


d brothers and sisters growing old,
10 yOu all remember yet,
That house in the shade of the rustling trees,
Where once our household metz
DO YOU know how we used to come from sehot
Through the summers pleasant heat,
with the yellow ieunPrs golden dust
On cur tired, little feet?
And how. sometimes in an idle mood,
We loitcred by the way,
Aud stopped in the woods to gather flowers,
And in the fields TO play ...
Till warned BY the deepening shadows fall.
That told of the coming night, r.
We climbed to the top of the last long hill,
And saw our home in sight2
And, brothers and sisters, older now
Than she whose life is DER,
Do you think of the mothers loving face
That looked from the open door,
Alas for the changing things of time
That home IN the dust is low,
And the loving smile was hid from us
In the darkness long agol
Aud we have come to life's last hill ,
From which our weary eyes
Can almost look on the home that shines
Eternal Ia lhe skies. IT,
50, brothers and sisters MS we go,
Still let us move as one,
Always together keeping step.
Till the march of life is done,
For that mother who waited for us here,
Wearing smile SO sweet,
Now waits OH the hills of Paradise
For her children's coming feet.

TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA..

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
i the fist time in An extended way, the F. F
(FAMILY FAyORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming 1t to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
II was tested by able sewing-machinists, and by
them so pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition In 1867;
BECAUSE, 1t took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1899;
BECAUSE, 1t will do what any other first
class lock-stitch will do;
BECAUSE, it 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 Inpid 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 woman's reason,
BECAUSE, 1t is just little darlng,' and so
easy to learn
Price the same as any other first-class machine.
Sold on the instalment plan, if desired.
Machines sent ON trial and instruction given
free.
